I had the Omnia for about 2 weeks and sent it back in favor of the Touch Pros full keyboard. So I have had my Verizon Touch Pro for about a week now and am very interested in flashing my ROM.

There are so many ROMs out there and I don't fully understand what I will be gaining or losing for that matter by flashing. I love everything about this phone except the battery life , its killing me , it dies on me usually 1-2 hours before I am heading home for the night ,coming up just short of making it a whole day and thats with little to NO internet usage beacuse I am trying to get the battery to last. I would much prefer being able to use the internet at will without having to worry.

Also the Touch Flo is awesome and I wouldn't want to lose that but the Verizon theme is kinda ugly , so I used TF3D config and am using the "black Diamond" TF3D but it has significantly slowed down my device.

Do you have any advice in choosing a ROM to use?

Thanks for your time!

PS The Touch Pro I got has a few cosmetic defects and Verizon is going to send me a new one IF I decide this phone is what I am going to keep, but that highly depends on if I get a ROM running it the way I want, but either way the TP I have now is going back. Is it a bad idea to unlock, flash some ROMs to see whats out there , and in a couple weeks relock and exchange for a non-defective TP , or should I realistically not be "tweaking" this TP that has to go back???

THANKS!!

SSK 1.5 is the only ROM that you should run.... it's by far the best series of ROMs for our gimped Verizon Touch Pros. As far as tweaking a phone that's going back, it doesn't really matter because you can always relock the phone and flash the original ROM back to it... but if it's only a matter of days, then it wouldn't hurt to be safe and wait on the new one.
