That is always good advice for a user unwilling to acquire the knowledge to do their own customizing properly.

Hi Dave,
I tried several rooms from XDA, all of them with problems. Because they are custom, drains a lot of battery or some features are just missing for my particular phone.
Also, developers come and go; they support some ROMs for months but usually they move on and start developing a different ROM or for a different device.
Granted, it is a nice way to convert a Windows phone to Android, like the nice HTC. I had. Or if you don't have the money to acquire a true Android device. But on my case was not lack of knowledge , I'm a long time Linux user.
As a reliable business phone that you use for work all days, I would not recommend that exercise to anyone but a stock Android experience. But if you have a spare phone of you can live with minor Android issues I agree with you and sometimes is even cheaper than get a full and stock Android experience, like the Nook Color tablet for example.
