    Thought I would put in my vote for this very smooth, very quick, feature packed and deliciously dark ROM from XDA Dev CodeNil Kinda surprised it hasn't been posted previously but I did see mention of it in another thread which lead me to compare it to the more popular ROMs like PA.

    On my Blackberry 8320 I had preferences for when to use WiFi versus when to use data. The Optimus M has no such options and tries to do it intuitively but, given the poor data performance on the Metro PCS network, I'd like to ask the following. I think I know the answer but I'd like...
