Hello, I am a brand newbie at this, bigtime, and I'm sure with my luck I'm not posting this in the right section. But I've looked on here for 4+ hours tonight trying to decide what ROM would be best for me? I am coming from the XV6800 and just upgraded to my Touch Pro. I have Verizon service and (if possible) without losing a lot of the preloaded software that comes with the phone, I would like to get more free program memory for installing / running future programs and most importantly speeding up the device itself. I'm also interested in using the GPS feature if that is still available / working in any of these ROM's, for use with like Google Maps, etc. Again I apologize if this is totally in the wrong section and will gladly repost in the proper area. Also thanks in advance for anyone who can help / point me in the right direction /clear things up for me.
