Re: Why use a custom ROM?
Airoff, I just wanted to give you props for the good post! I had the same questions as you posted here when I came across your thread. You have effeciently stated your understanding of what you've learned so far about the subject and what you'd like to know about Flashed ROMS/any misconceptions you may have. I appreciate this post and, as a curious newbie to the WinMo OS, I look forward to reading the replies from the geniuses of this site to the questions you posted!
Thanks for asking the questions all of us newbies are wondering!

2. The roms are usually "faster" because some files that aren't needed are removed. This saves internal memory running processes. With the stock sprint rom I use on average around 35% at boot using Vogue. When a custom rom that can be as low as 27 or 28. It just means the phone functions smoother. 3. I don't know about programs booting faster because they are cooked into the rom. Most of the time programs are included because they are widely used and it keeps you from having to go through and re-install. You are still able to close these programs out in the task manager. You are not able to delete them from programs list but when they are running they will show in the task manager. Last edited by thecheet; 08-25-2009 at 01:51 PM.

Re: Why use a custom ROM?
The 2 main reasons I use a ROM other than the manufacturers is to be able to use WM6.5, and the icons some of the chefs use in their ROMs. If I didnt like using 6.5 so much I would be OK with putting the cabs I need on a stock ROM

Re: Why use a custom ROM?
the main reasons are, the latest/most stable sys, WM 6.5!, the latest htc packages, you can take out the bloatware/ add new apps when cooking [cooked in apps perform better than ones installed via cab], its way too addicitng
 , and you can customize things much better with a cooked rom. If you have any questions please feel free to hit me up on msn, or via PM

Re: Why use a custom ROM?
Like everything else, modifications/customization/tweaks is better than stock unless stock is the best thing ever. I think of cars as phones
