Thanks for your replies, There really is nothing lacking in the stock rom once i rooted it, so i will stay with stock for now but keep my eyes open for the next best thing...i dont install roms because i can, i am usually looking for enhanced performance or a feature that is not available anywhere else, when i got my original droid i got all that stuff out of my system,i do have to say this though, The Nexus 7 ROCKS...i am a big android fan to begin with but having had the samsung 7 (twice) and about 5 or 6 android phones (all motorola except for the evo lte my company just got me) i dont see myself going to the (i) stuff andit is questionable wether or not that woulf be an improvement, i have a loooonnngggg thought on that, that isnt one sided but will post in the appropriate area...thanks again, this forum rocks, and a forum is just the sum total of its membership
