Blue6IX is known for his meticulous attention to detail. Him turning into a developer is a godsend for the myTouch 4G Slide Development forums. After using the ROM for about a week and a half, I can say this is probably the most stable ROM out there.
Now I know, some people have become strict Undeadk9 fanboys, and though his work as a developer has been good for the myTouch community, don't turn this ROM down just because it's not released by him.
As for my score for this ROM, I give it a 8/10 for it's ability to customize practically anything, developer support, stability, and the promise of patching rather than wiping in the future. The only reason I'm not giving this a nine or a ten is because it does seem quite laggy at some points. Despite that, there are no random reboots on my end, and it is as quick as a stock ROM can be.
Sure Undeadk9 has spoiled me with the speed of his ROMs, but as far as stability goes, I can't seem to find anything wrong with this ROM.
To download this ROM, please go to XDA Developers myTouch 4G Slide Development, as I don't want to link a download that I didn't ask the permissions for.
Note: This is my current daily driver as of it's release (Thanksgiving 2011) =D.
