Do the custom ROMS increase speed, performance, and or stability?

I just upgraded my ROM and had an ESN problem which messed up my phone. Thankfully only temporarily and I am back to Stock. While I am interested in upgrading again, I am a bit gun shy and am asking "Do I really need to Upgrade?"

For me, I am not interested in unlocking GPS or using REV A. The technical challenge is fun but nothing I am going to be doing all the time. Once I find a stable ROM, I will probably stick with it a for a long while.

What I really want from this phone is stability and performance. I have read a lot of reviews bashing the stability of this phone. I have also read a lot of reviews from people running custom roms saying how great this phone is. Do the custom ROMS increase speed, performance, and or stability of the 6800?

I believe that it does open up the OS to run more efficiently and with more stability, but you may not need all the options that are available to you. If you are on the fence and do not need the functionality that custom ROMs offer, and are worried that you may goof up you phone again, this may not be for you.

If you take your time and read the instructions on the wiki I am sure that you can get DCDs rom loaded, being that you were able to get back to stock. I believe that it is a much more functional phone without the bloated OS it came with, but others may have different results and issues with EACH ROM and radio combinations. That is why flashing your phone is a custom tailored process that you can adjust to your specific needs. Good luck and enjoy.
