I have rooted my phone but I have not installed any custom rom or anything yet. Still researching where i think the lag is coming from etc.
What I would like to state is this though. A lot of people are running around on the boards boasting almost that, they havent experienced lag, and it must some how be a magical occurence, but OH wait, I also am rooted now so....
I just want the level to be set, because I find it hard to believe that people who have rooted didnt witness ANY lag at all with the phone.
I want to do this for a few reasons, 1. Tmobile and Android devs need to know the real world untainted feedback on whether the phone has had problems running basic software. 2. If you have rooted, then they need to know that that alleviated some of the problems you would have had normally if you didnt. IF the consensus is its a randomly occuring problem then I fear there wont be enough traction aside from just regurlarly planned updates to the OS.
Does this sound sane?
Well not as of late. I heard a lot of people say their phone lagged trying to run something like Hero rom, but most people with Cyanogen have had only good things to say about that. True?

but i havent had any troublesome lag before or after.
zapote21 said it the best. what are people expecting lag to be.
havent to wait to open an app like browser is not lag.
being in a middle of the app and it being slow as soon as you push the home button is not lag.
also when typing in the search bar, the phone is given you instant suggestions based on every letter that you enter.
i dont count that as lag either, even though sometimes it may seem to slowing down the input.
other than that (if the above is somehow classifed as lag by someone) i have had no slow down problems with anything
Well I wasnt being sarcastic or idiotic referring to lag.
Let me define it as I see it. This from a techie. Some lag is expected sometimes, but When I am reading emails, and the phone rings, and I click the answer button once, and it doesnt register, then I click it twice and it does, That is lag.
When I am typing on the keyboard and it simply stops and freezes for about 2 secs, and then misses the last 2 characters out of the word CAT...then thats lag.
When I open the browser (I dont expect ANYTHING...i think they screwed the pooch totally on the browser, so I am not expecting anything to happen fast when it concerns the browser.)
IS my phone usable, yes 90 percent of the time but its where I purposely am waiting for it to do things, and not forcing it. If I was in an emergency situation and had to dial 911, I would probably reach for the house phone first just because I dont trust this phone would deliver the functionality, without some sort of headache.
