Is that a hint that something new is coming???
Also, are all the apps, ect., that are loaded into the ROM listed on the first page of the thread? And how do you get the Office programs into the ROM are they built in?

I have tried, Juicy, Tried Psyki, and now I am trying Copper-

I gave up on the TF3D, the Stock sprint rom is/was pretty decent, but there were still some bugs, so I bucked down and have grown to like 6.5 in the last 24 hours. no TF3d just the new 6.5 interface, and its working very well.

One question I had, is there a minimalistic 6.1 rom like Copper? No TF3D , just basic roms? if I decide to dump copper - doesn't look like i will be - but if I could find one that would be what I want to try next

What I'm also trying to find out is why ppl like a particular ROM. Is it the speed, the apps, theme, or what?

Just use a kitchen like GC's & leave out TF3D.....

For me It is speed and stability and no bugs-
What bothered me about the stock rom is that sometimes Messaging would refuse to open - Text or email - it would just refuse to open

With some of the other roms, the speed was there, but it would still need to be soft reset every so often, apps appeal to some people, but you can find cabs for whatever you are looking for so that isnt the selling point.

anyway just my $.02

That's sort of what I'm looking for, and ur right, you can get apps lots of places. But there must be something about these custom ROMs that make them more desirable than the stock roms which I had thought were "stable" if not so speedy! No?

I use the 6.5 Copper Rom, the joint project by Juicy and Mighty, i like the Cleanliness of the rom and that it has no Manilla. ive only added the Cabs i use and therefore am very happy with my setup. For me it has been Fast and very stable. i guess ive been one of the lucky ones to not experience some of the other bugs members were finding. all in all i probly wont switch out of copper till theres another Clean 6.5 Rom out. IMHO.

Same for me...tried Juicy, Mighty 4.16, Psyki, and Silence 9. I liked Silence 9 the best, but wanted to see how a newer 6.5 ROM handles battery life. So as of last night I'm on Copper and loving it. No TF3D, but the 6.5 interface works well. I think I'll be on Copper for a while. I really don't want to constantly switch ROMs...to each their own, but to me it's a pain in the *** to get everything setup over and over again. I've just been switching until I find something that will work for me. So far Copper is it. Haven't run into any bugs, it's fast, and most importanly at nearly 2pm I still have 70% battery life left!!!! I used to be on the charger by 2 or 3pm! That alone is worth using Copper going forward.

Running the stock Sprint ROM.. I felt no need to run a custom ROM yet...
