I am stock and unrooted so take it as you'd like. Love the camera when you take pictures outside. For the life of me I can not take a decent picture inside whether I use stock camera, camera zoom, etc. I still have no idea why this phone didn't have an 8MP camera. (I know some will say the amount of MPs doesn't matter but I've yet to see a 5MP camera take a better picture than an 8MP.)
Also, people recommend Volume+ for the speaker. I notice no real difference. I can barely hear it ring, especially when it's in my pocket. Audio quality just decent at best when listening minus headphones.
My 2 cents- if these 2 were most important to me, knowing now what I know, I would pass on it, but I'm sure some will have better advice about improvements with roms, etc.
