I've had stock D3 rooted for at least a few months now, and use the radio hack for tethering. I froze the recommended list of apps, and in my opinion the phone seems to work fine for what I need under that configuration.
However, I don't know if I could be missing out on something....like better performance, better battery life, not sure what else there'd be. Can anyone advise as to whether I should consider flashing to one of the ROMs out there and why?
What's not quite clear to me is what the locked bootloader is hindering re: the ROM development for this phone. I've had success with 2 other older phones and the Cyanogenmod ROMs (which I really liked for multiple reasons), but from what I can see there's still camera and BT audio issues with the Cyanogenmod ROM for the D3 which could be a headache for me.
I have a buddy that put ICS on whatever phone he had, and I liked some of the features, so moving to an ICS ROM is appealing, but I don't want to sacrifice stability for bells and whistles.
Any advice is greatly appreciated!!
