Re: Dr. Squishy's ROM Review Thread (Updated 2/4/09)
Thanks for writing this up. I recently got rid of my Diamond and just got my Pro in today. I'm excited to try all the ROMS for the Pro. This gave me an insight as to where I want to start. On the Diamond I was a fan of the Juicy ROMS myself. I wasn't really a fan of Mightys. But, now that I am happy with the PRO Its time to get into it! ;0) Thanks again for this post!

Been flashing alot but this one is really good enough to stay for now. The Manila 3D version it has seems the quikest yet. Very impressive, close to 2d speed! I found other versions with the manilla 3D a bit slower, and the HD versions even more slower. I cant stand that delay and no landscape on HD manilla versions. This rom is fastest for me when switching into "start\system" and when viewing a generated list of thumbnails in pics. Im on sprint so I do not adjust pagepool. I leave setting however the rom came so I can judge the difference. Im pretty shure changing pagepool setting would help other carrier users more. I also found out that Voice Command responds differently on different roms. I thought it was not hearing me properly, but I was fooled... You have to actually speak "faster" or "slower" depending on which rom you use! |

1.5 CFAY {2-11-09} is out and will be updated soon. Supposed to be faster so will have to check it out! |
Re: Dr. Squishy's ROM Review Thread (Updated 2/4/09)
So is the latest Mighty ROM faster / more responsive than the latest Juggalo ROM? I haven't flashed my new TP yet. I didn't really like Mighty ROM when I last tried it. I did like Juggalo's ROM. Still holding out, hoping Juggalo hasn't decided to stop doing his ROM.

Re: Dr. Squishy's ROM Review Thread (Updated 2/4/09)
An earlier post asked about battery comparison. I am interested in this as well. Has anyone noticed a difference between the different roms.

Re: Dr. Squishy's ROM Review Thread (Updated 2/4/09)
I have a question which of the roms have flash in opera??

yes the maila is slightly faster. I liked Juggalo as a base rom but mighty has more customization done so I wont hav to. So yes latest version better than previous mighty roms. |
Re: Dr. Squishy's ROM Review Thread (Updated 2/4/09)
I have tried the four big roms and for me the winner is Juggalo's .08b rom.
Juicy 4.7 was fast, but very barebones, and its quite old now. As I understand, he is one of the best, and it shows, very fast and nice. KK 1.4 (didn't get 1.5) has WAY too many things, which is the point. It was a great rom to try out various apps, but not to use daily. It is way too slow compared to the other roms. MightyRom is pretty nice. I just had the newest 4.9.5 I think and I used it for 3-4 days. Here were my issues with it: 1. Personal taste, but I don't like the whole everything black thing he has going. I like the clean white manilla look. Adding themes doesn't recolor the dialer, etc. I DID like the Touch HD contacts addition to TouchFlo. 2. The rom would glitch up HORRIBLY when using my hardware keyboard. Say for example I would want to type a text message. I flip the keyboard out and start typing. The first 3-4 letters were normal, but suddenly lag would increase. A second per letter, then 2 then 4, then toward the end, I would have to wait 5-6 seconds to see what I was typing. But it wasn't just what I was typing anymore. Once I closed the keyboard, the phone remained slow, TouchFlo would freeze for 5-10 seconds at a time, windows wouldn't load for a while, everything was horribly slow. This would go on for 3-5 minutes. Either I waited it or out, or I had to reboot. This was the big deal breaker. This was not unique to me, at least three or four other people reported it in the thread. But it did not affect everyone. 3. For whatever reason, GPS would take a lot longer to lock on, and I would break locks more frequently. The last rom is Juggalo .08b. It is very old now and I am REALLY hoping Juggalo releases an update. The rom is FAST, the manila is a teeny bit slower than MightyRom, but thats because its a month old. The thing is, its stable, no crashes, super fast GPS locks, my hardware keyboard does NOT make the phone slow down to a crawl for 3-5 minutes. Plus it looks nicer too with the older white dialer and the custom icons. I know you can install the custom taskbar icons yourself, but I don't get why Mighty has not put them in yet, they are great and people love them. In any case, I may be an exception to the rule, the MightyRom is really awesome overall, but the issues I had made me go back to the one month old Jugallo .08b and I love it again. It is based on earlier builds, but its stable and fast, which is what I really need in my phone. |
Re: Dr. Squishy's ROM Review Thread (Updated 2/4/09)
I have tried Juicy's, KK's and Mighty's. I like them ALL. I think I like Mighty a little more because of the speed. I'm thankful to these guys for the work they do on these ROMs. I know it's a matter of time before WinMo 6.5 and the TouchPro2 ROMs will be available. I just appreciate that these guys will make them available to us.

I think I will run this ROM for a little while though because even if a little slow, it is really nicely done and pretty loaded. |
Re: Dr. Squishy's ROM Review Thread (Updated 2/4/09)
I was hoping to see a comparison between Mighty and Juggalo's ROM. Juggalo's rom was very fast, but I honestly couldn't stand the graffiti startup page. I decided to use a stock ROM with a modified paging pool. With the file, glyph cache settings bumped, it works well.

Re: Dr. Squishy's ROM Review Thread (Updated 2/4/09)
Can someone try my rom and let me know whats the good and whats the bad.
The only thing I got so far was a pm from tech telling me it was a great rom. His only front was the startup time. Which is due to the reg setting of preload programs first for faster start which I like. Soo let me know guys I want to get better! |
Re: Dr. Squishy's ROM Review Thread (Updated 2/4/09)
I'm really impressed with scrosler's latest ROM, SSK 1.5 B2B. After bumping up all the caches to their maximum value and installing a couple other programs, I still have 135MB free RAM. Comes with an excellent selection of software, the theme is great, and it's FAST. I've tried juggalo .88b, Mighty 4.11, Juicy 4.11, and JD's latest, and this is by far my favorite.

Edit: KK's 1.7 is running faster than B4. Now it runs like a "slim" rom. |

wow! what a great read, I have loaded a ton of ROM's on my pro, and I have to agree that the Mighty Rom was the quickest and most responsive and stable of the ones I have seen. Im glad you tok the time to explain the differences to the "average joe's" out there like myself. I also dig the Arsenio profile pic from Amazon women from the Moon...well played sir.

Re: Dr. Squishy's ROM Review Thread (Updated 2/4/09)
I have tried all of them Mighty's. KK'S, SSK,Juicy's4.13,Juggalo's, RSTGv1.7.24. I like all of them.Right now I am using a rom I did in GC'S kitchen this way I could add or delete what I wanted and I have alot of apps loaded and still have 126.80MB free space in programs and 272.21 MB free in internal storage and I don't feel there has been any compromise in speed.
