I am trying to a rom that performs smoothly, quickly, and does not drain the battery excessively. Any thoughts?
If you agree that your 4 biggest priorities with your phone are:
  • Calls
  • Internet
  • Light SMS
  • Excellent Battery Life
And that your priorities do not extend much further than that (NFS or other games, productivity and utilities, fancy themes and artwork), you don't need to be using a 6.5 ROM at all. Every ROM on this site can provide the first three, and that leaves you basically searching for the best battery life (which, most people would agree, is found more often in 6.1 ROMs than 6.5 ROMs).

Knowing that, I would recommend you try the Silence/Mighty collaboration ROM (here), which is styled to be a stripped-down stock ROM that most people report as having amazing battery life. Additionally, you might try MightyROM4 (here), which easily gives me 48 hours of use on one charge, though includes a few extra goodies you may or may not find useful. Then there's DCD's 6.1 ROMs (.92 and .96), which can be found in this thread, though they require a bit more setup, research, and know-how to work with. All three of these are basically unsupported and out-of-production ROMs that will give you phone, SMS, internet, and ridiculous battery life. Psyki and Silence also have some good 6.1 ROMs with great battery, though I doubt you'll have much use for the bells and whistles included.
