It's crap like this that I resent.. UD8 was absolutely horrible on my phone. I don't give a rats ass about any developer in particular. Neither do I have the time nor the patience to troll forums and rah-rah for a developer. If the ROM works to my liking, I'll give it praise to anyone who asks. For the longest time it was BB - but like most people here, I'm an equal opportunity flasher.
At the end of the day, the primary measure of how good a ROM works is how well it works on my phone. Speed and stablity above all - customizations don't really mean much to me and UD8 wasn't a ROM that played nice with my Droid.
Now this isn't necessarily an indictment on anyone in particular, but to the UD fanboys, stop assuming that people who are having issues with this ROM are just out to bash it. It just isn't that serious here on the internets..
