still not as good as burning a custom ROM
It's a fun proof-of-concept, otherwise you're not missing out on anything. It's really annoying when some piece of software is inevitably broken due to a change in the ROM, and now you're stuck without some further hassle.
I've gone back to standard ROMs and tools like LoadModule and BlizKick. (Or some sort of flashrom is handy, like the DENEB or new A500Flash...). As Kolla mentioned, softkicking your modified ROM (if possible) is the way to go.
