Custom (3rd Party) ROM: Lite'ning. Pros and Cons

[Hawker]

I thought it may be extremely useful for people who are contemplating going over to a 3rd party ROM what the good and bad points are, comparisons to official ROM etc.

May also be useful to state which 3rd party kernel (if applicable) seems to work well with it.

Can you start off with which version of the ROM your using with which firmware it is based on, followed by your findings.

Many thanks to all that contribute
