What ROM are you running and why?

[dkranes]

Yep, I couldn't agree more. Just because a ROM works well for me doesn't mean it will work well for anyone else. Personally my biggest issue is battery life (what else is new, right?). I found Copper to be excellent. Not sure if the improved battery life is due to the minimalist nature of that particular ROM or if it's something to do with 6.5 versus 6.1 which is what I was mainly running before. Maybe it's a combination of both?

I mainly use my phone for work communications (email, text, voice), and occasionally doing some web browsing or video watching in my downtime. Therefore I don't need 50 programs cooked into the ROM. I prefer it lean so I can add only what I need. But I can definitely see the advantages of having a fully loaded ROM as well, especially if you're using the phone as more of an entertainment device....and what an excellent entertainment device it is!
