FROM WHAT I’VE EXPERIENCED ON TWO DRIOD X’S AND MANY OTHER FOLKS TOO HAVE A DOOR STOP NOW AND NO HELP FROM VERIZON TO FIX THE PROBLEM THE LATEST OTA UPDATE CAUSED. IF IT’S NOT UNDER WARRANTY, YOU’RE SCREWED ACCORDING TO VERIZON, AND THEY CAUSED IT TO BRICK.

I have used both stock and custom ROMs on the DX. In my experience custom ROMs aren’t worth the trouble downloading and flashing them. CRs have broken features of my phone, reduced its functionality, and many of them are very incompatible with the device to the point of having to sbf the damn thing. That’s not to say that stock is without its fair share of bugs and problems: random restarts, poor memory management, bad camera (slow start-up time, poor flash), dull design, under-utilization of the power of the device in the UI, etc. When I get a newer Android device I will revisit custom ROMs again, but until then I’m sticking with stock and changing my launcher. 

@ Socalnick,

Just because your phone works flawlessly doesn’t mean everyone elses is working the same way. I’ve had nothing but problems with this shithole phone since the first day and have had to replace this damn phone three times. When you get a new brain that isnt the size of a peanut then maybe ill take you more seriously.
