Better yet alway be ahead of the game and a step further than your carrier which to me makes alot more sense and with the customization of these Roms it brings your Smart Phone to a whole new level.Thanks to +xda-developers  and all there hard work they put in for our Smart Phones to be used in the way I feel they should be used for the best of a phones capability.
