Why upgrade a ROM if Phone is working great ??

I have been flashing many new Roms since Mogul and even on Touch Pro. Some Roms where pretty good and some had problems. I had upgraded even my phone is working great so my question is how many people are there who do this ? I want to know why you upgrade ? I am looking for the Rom that is better then the previous Rom. How about You ??? ( of course we need to upgrade from stock Rom but I am talking about upgrade from one of the best ROM to new Rom.)


Warning !

To noobies
Flashing ROM can be addictive , Dangerous to health , Can be upsetting to family members, Can loose job if you are upgrading at work
so enter this site on your on Risk I have been upgrading Roms since last seven years and can't stop it.

it's a disease! but seriously there are a lot of advantages ive seen from these cooked roms to stock. battery life, speed and less bloatware. with my ppc6800 it gave me gps that wasnt available stock from alltel.

uuuum yeah i would say yes simply because it's possible to make more of our devices and we take it upon ourselves to do just that. why settle for less when the option is out there and available to anyone brave enough to try right??

Re: Why upgrade a ROM if Phone is working great ??

Do you have to the have the OEM of a software in order to include it in a Customs ROM? what if you only have the cab with a serial number?

Re: Why upgrade a ROM if Phone is working great ??

this question has been asked many times before. to each, the answer is this... if your phone is working great / to you liking, dont bother. Most upgrade by addiction. Some upgrade to get rid of bloatware and increase speed. Some want more stability. Some want it ALL. The closest you can get to ALL is to load the erice kitchen and cook away. If you want something LOADED with stuff, i think the KK rom is more in that realm. In any case, if you are happy with what you have... stick with it. If you always want better, you will NEVER stop cooking.

Re: Why upgrade a ROM if Phone is working great ??

I don't know if "better" is the word I would use, I just like to see the different features that each one has to see which one I prefer. Some of them are faster, some have more built-in apps, etc. With so many options and no Kitchen updates for the newer systems, it's trial and error for me.
