Do YOU run modified firmware on any of your devices?
If you do why? (Nothing Illegal)
If you don't why?
Do you think that its weird if you dont?
-----------------------------------------------------
Right, im not running any kind of modified firmware on my devices, all official, and i'll explain why
1) PSP - Before 3.71 all i used CFW for was themes, i never ran homebrew etc. because i had no need for it, then remote play arrived on the PS3 with remote start up with Fw 2.00, and that Needed 3.80 to link up, and as CFW is always atleast a week after official, i couldnt stand the time i couldnt hook my PSP upto my PS3, and besides, all need to run CFW was gone because i could use official themes.
2) iPod Touch - I havent Jailbroken my iPod touch because i like the features it does now, and i dont think i would use any homebrew anyway, and for now i really like the theme on the touch, so dont want to change that either. Also the SKU is coming out soon so people can develop for the touch and release programs that dont need custom firmware to run, so if i ever do want a cool feature, it will eventually come to official.
Whats your opinions? Also, please vote so we can see what percentage of the AM community do and dont run CFW.

yup i will usually try to hack anything i can with cfw even if its not mine. i.e touches and iphones in the apple shop, psp's in selfridges and M&S. i put linux on my pc and i burned a load of linux cd's and put them in machines at toys r us and booted them from cd

i have custom firmware on my psp so i can play backed up games, i can play homebrew, i can use the psp to its full potential and best of all, i bring it to school and when we watch tv, i change the channel or turn it off while everybody is watching and nobody suspects me either, because all i have is a psp (i done this in blocbuster too, ahh good times).
