Any good reason to use a cook ROM?

Is there any good reason to use a cook ROM?

I am about to do it the first time on my Sprint TP2. (What am I waiting for?)

Since WM is not open source like Android, how do you optimized the code?

All I see the cook ROM does is rearrange the icons and folders, tweaks and add other programs all in one.

Cooked roms have alot if not all bloatware removed, stealth teathering cooked in on most, speed is way better, it really opens the phone up for alot more options and its the way 6.5 should have been out of the box!!!!

I see. So is it really worth it to do it?

Is there a poll on which cook ROM is the most popular out there?

each time i flash an update from energy im glad that i still have my touch pro 2. and a rom has more than just small tweaks and rearranging folders.. it can be CHT, different sys builds and diffrent themes.

Yes, I have been checking threads.

I am looking for a poll about which cook ROM is the most popular and I cant find it.

its pretty much useless to try to ask which rom is the best (poll or not). it all depends on personal preference, some ppl like eye candy, others like stability and free ram and some like the middle ground the best.it depends on what ur lookin for. i once was on the stock 6.5 but then i decided i wanted the start on the bottom so i went with mighty full force but after the SODs and ram leaks i decided to goto the sprint basics 6.1 rom but then i decided to go give 6.5 another chance so i tried the vins neodium it was pretty stable but the problem in my sig caused me to go back to stock 6.1, plus i could never get OzIM to work on any cooked roms and i cant find any other IM program like it.

Try energy rom. They have different build levels, one that is stable and one that is packed with the latest updates but supposedly less stable. I always used the less stable build that had all the latest updates and never had a problem except for restarting the phone once in a while. But that happens with all the build including stock. Plus you get tethering and lots of cool features that stock rom can't even touch. Energy is always updating their roms and they have screen shots of what each build looks like. I still use energy on my tp2 that I have as a backup. Give it a try. I'm sure you won't want any other rom although there is another rom that is alot like energy and to me it was a little more stable. If you want the name just pm me. I still have it on my computer. Good luck on picking a rom. Once you install one you'll love your tp2 all over again.
