<penguin42> aquarius: Yeh, the standard ROM on the Orange San Francisco (Aka ZTE Blade) had the compass pointing 180deg out - as I found out the hard way
<aquarius> oh, right, I don't have that sort of bug :P
<penguin42> I'm not sure the battery life is great on cyanogen
<penguin42> aquarius: What does your phone currently have on?
<aquarius> stock Android 4.0 ICS
<penguin42> hmm if you're on ICS (very nice...) then I doubt there is as much gain
<aquarius> it's not very nice. It's slow and it eats battery.
<penguin42> My phone was on 2.2 when 2.3/2.4 was already out, hence it was a good upgrade
<aquarius> that's why I want to fix it :)
<penguin42> aquarius: Which phone?
<aquarius> Nexus S
<penguin42> aquarius: Well the other thing was my phone was cheap, so if I bricked it then I didn't have to worry too much; now a Nexus S I guess the decision is a little different
<aquarius> :)
<directhex> aquarius, look at cyanogenmod as the biggest community android distro. usual reasons for replacing your bundled os apply
<aquarius> directhex, what usual reasons?
<popey> aquarius: i put cyanogen on an htc hero to get newer android and plain android so not sense UI'd
<directhex> your bundled os is filled with sucky crapware and is old?
<aquarius> ya, but it isn't. I've got a Nexus S: it runs stock Android, and it's running ICS>
<directhex> so 0 benefit
<aquarius> this is one of the reasons I'm resistant to new ROMs; I wanted to see whether eveyrone's reason for changing ROMs was "get rid of sense UI and crapware and get an upgrade" and so on, none of which apply to me
