How does it make the phone better (besides getting rid of all the crapware?) This is a bit outdated but captures many of the benefits. I've rooted to get custom ROMs with access to root-only apps. I can now overclock for faster performance and I'm rocking Ice Cream Sandwich even though it hasn't been officially released for my phone yet.

They're basically the same as any other smartphone, how is one overrated and one underrated? iPhones just cater to the non-hack crowd more than Android does. Not to mention, there is a hack crowd for iOS, too...only they call it jailbreaking, instead. Besides, at least when updates come out, you can use them without having to wait months to use an OS that's already outdated by then.

You must have skipped root 101 where you're told to NEVER accept an update when you're rooted. They typically have a rooted version of the update within a day.

I need to SBF back to the previous build and go from there. What ROM do you recommend? I was still running the stock gingerbread 2.3.

Every phone has a slew of different custom ROMs. I have Sprint's Galaxy S II and I'm running the Blu Kuban ROM which is 4.0.3, Ice Cream Sandwich.
