[Q] Honest question here...

[Ichijoe]

If things like...

FM Radio
Camera
UMTS Video Calling
etc.. etc..

DO NOT work, and will just as likely NEVER WORK on custom ROMs such as CyanogenMod, then as far as I see it, it's a loss.

So what ~are~ the advantages to using something like CM10, besides the OHHH SHINY SHINY Jellybeen.
I mean yeah I can now use Chrome on my SGS, and that's about the only bright spot I see in it.
But I figure there has to be something more compelling out there that I'm either failing to see, or perhaps unwilling to see.

Would love to see your feedback on this!

People care about different things for there needs. You might want a fully functional camera whereas the other guy doesn't care.

Personally I would never choose CM10 over CM9. Why? Because the video recording and playback on CM10 is annoying and choppy. The battery life is awful compared to CM9. I wouldn't give up CM9 and good battery life, a properly working camera for a very little tiny extra speed.

The next guy to comment might not care about that as much and say CM10 is better.

Preference and wants/needs.

4.2 camera is much better than stock.

Two things I dislike about SpritFM are:

1: It's not free. Feel free to call me cheap, but why should I have to purchase this App for 1.99€ when it should be standard.
I was under some delusion that Samsung had even made this "Driver" available last summer for the benefit of the Open Source Community.
What ever happened to that? The way I recalled reading it we should've had a working FM by now.

2: I'd also like to air on the side of caution! Its not like SpritFM has the best reputation.
Or this is to say that SpritFM has a reputation of wrecking Phones Speakers.
This may, or may no longer be the case, but again SEE POINT 2!

I also love the Video Call function of my Phone, I have read and understood sadly why that's never gonna happen.
And I'll coincide that the Camera might be just down to FUD.

But again. What are the advantages to updating, besides the OOOHHH I updated because I could?
Is it really just for Chrome?

Well,for me,I don't care about the camera's working or not.'Cause all i want is test new things,new functions.If i want to use ,I'll flash back.
