    Once you have your phone rooted and a recovery system installed, flashing roms becomes ridiculously easy.

    It took me all of 5 minutes to root with clockworkmod recovery...and when I did it I was a complete flash n00b.

    Now, I flash whatever I see on xda that looks interesting. If I don't like it, I just reinstall my previous rom from my backup in CWM.

    Right now, I'm back and forth between a custom ICS Rom BlackStar VIII and the CyanogenMod 10M JellyBean. There's stuff on both I really like, but right now, CM10 is winning out.

    I made 3 backups of 3 different roms I like, and switch between them as I feel. CM10, MIUI, and Sky-JB.

    TB is right, once you have rooted/installed a custom recovery, it is no problem. I would change about once a week to at least test them out. I would have a daily driver that I would always switch back to (unless my test-drive went well). I had to swap out my phone for a warranty issue about 3-4 months ago, but the bootloader for the official ICS on my phone had extra security and there is a new process to root it. I have been busy and haven't cared enough to read and do the new root procedure. I told myself that as soon as a fully functioning JB rom comes out that I would do it, but it seems that the best that they can do so far is all but WIMAX. I use wimax a lot, so I can't run with that. I may end up rooting soon and installing an ICS rom anyway because the stock rom has really really ty battery life (5ish hours) when I was used to 9 or so.

    I used to switch out ROMs weekly at the very least. I've simmered down a bit - I know what kind of ROMs I prefer for the most part (AOKP w/ ROM control). As others touched on, you can browse and DL a ROM on your phone and it'll ask you to flash once the DL is complete. Ends up being a 5 minutes process.

    I was on Resurrection remix ROM for the past several months, updating to a newer version monthly. I just tried a new ROM last week.

    Oh yeah, the initial process takes anywhere from 10-30 minutes (depending on your familiarity with the process for your phone), after that, flashing roms is, at most a 5 minute process (granted that you have already downloaded the rom).


    BTW, the initial process for nexus phones is at most 5 minutes.

    I absolutely love meanrom, so I haven't switched since I started using it. I update it regularly though, mikey puts out a new version about once a week.

    Just had my first cool google now moment.

    I was talking to one of my coworkers about a restaurant and I couldn't remember the name of the place so I searched "Walzem Road, san antonio" on google maps on chrome on my work computer. Found the place and moved on. About 45 seconds later my phone buzzed with a notification. I looked at it and google now had told me how long it will take and gave me a map including traffic conditions to get to "Walzem Road San Antonio, Tx"

    SAWEET!

    Should I root or not?


    Decisions decisions


    Not that I'm in a rush to get JB; ICS and Sense 4 are really great, the phone is great and the official JB rollout shoud be November or December.

    Plus I have some nice stock features with Holo launcher+locker



    Google Now ? eh, it's cool, but I don't really need it

    Project Butter? my phone is really smooth and snappy; I only had 2-3 lags since I got the phone

    Notification actions? really cool feature IMO; but I can wait




    I guess I answered my own question rofl

    I'm sure rooting made sense for those who were stuck on GB/HC and knew they were never gonna get ICS

    ICS was a huge leap compared to GB/HC, whereas JB adds features

    A sign that the OS has reached maturation phase

    iPhone 4S, jailbroken of course. bought it about a month after it came out. don't really care about the 5, very impressed with how light it is though.
