With the help of a member named Jondevere my optimus s was rooted about a month ago and it is HIGHLY RECOMMENDED. I am currently running cyanogenmod 7/Scott Pilgrim 7 custom rom and I have no problems whatsoever. Wi-Fi works, Bluetooth, data, I'm typing this from my optimus s. I have heard of the reborn rom but I only rooted b/c I want android 2.3 which I now have. I have 165 MB of internal memory, I have 71 apps, only 8 of which are stock and still have 84 MB left. I have a vastly improved keyboard with a cursor and full cut & paste capability and unbelievable power management. The customization possibilities are near endless because of "theme Chooser". No matter the rom, if you have things you really want to improve, research, and if rooting and installing a rom will improve it then go for it. Honest to God I wouldn't trade my phone for a evo now. Having experienced 2.3 ill never go back to 2.2. My phone breaks from being dropped in water orsomething, I'm getting a nexus s lol. 2.3 kicks butt
