WM6 "Official VS. Cooked"

[jk7gr]

I always had this question. What is so special on an Official ROM that makes it more "in flavour" that a "well cooked" one?

How about the 2 year warranty that comes with the HTC-branded P3300?

Warranty for what? For the OS? The support from the guys here is a lot more better? Support for the device? 90% of the issues are supported to be cause by the usage. Apart from the warranty what else makes Official ROMs better? (would it be faster performance, better reliability, error free operation?

there is no guaranty for the OS

Official, they finish it and test it to hell. Sure it has bugs but less serious than a cooked rom.

You also select what you install, too many roms have built in apps... just install them yourself. Every app can potentially slow the device down.

true and not true. The late roms are very good and have no or just minor bugs (instead of the early roms (but thats . The often provide usefull apps, but if you want you add own apps this could be a problem (waste of the storagememory.) if this is the case go for the lite versions...

But the new official wm6 rom has difficulties too. You cannot use the GPS Photo option or the sweet biotoch scrolling option, drivers are often outdated, updates take ages to come out, etc.

best is to find out ourself. Use USPL and flash the ROMS both and see the differences.

I think the only reason for having an official ROM on your device is when you wanna sell it or send it away for repair.

I've hacked almost all of my phones, the applications and abilities that I added were always worth more than the troubles they sometimes caused.
