Yes, it allow you to use a custom firmware. :smile:
Just keep in mind that it doesn't offer a ton of features (There isn't that many to add after all).

To me, its more a moral point of view, now I can really own this device and not only half of it.
Along with all the features of the stock OS, Eureka-ROM allows you to
Use SSH, ADB, or Telnet to access a root shell
Specify alternate DNS servers to overcome certain region-based restrictions
Use custom application whitelists to bypass Google's application registration requirements
Configure the device using a web-based control panel
View device status and network information
Enable or disable Team Eureka's OTA updates
Select which whitelist provider you want to use (Google, Team Eureka, or custom)
Enable or disable remote services
Set custom DNS servers
Reboot and reset your device

Eureka-ROM also includes several internal changes:
Google's OTA updates are disabled, so your Chromecast won't patch itself.
Instead, OTA's are delivered by a custom Team Eureka update engine (more information).
A custom "Team Eureka" boot animation is installed so you can easily determine that your device is running Eureka-ROM.
The stock recovery image is replaced with FlashCast to further prevent any attempts by Google to patch your device.
The idle screen URL restriction is removed.
A custom kernel image is installed to enable the following features:
Interactive root UART console
In-OS USB device support
CIFS/Samba share support
