I'd like to try one of the custom ROMs but I keep reading there are issues.
Is there any consesus on which ROMs are the most stable?
It would take weeks to try them all

And by then they would be all new again.
Is there a "Stock" 6.5 ROM from a similar device that works? Or is that asking for trouble.
I was afraid to experiment too much without the SD Card in my diamond to unbrick it.
