What's the Mighty difference??

[JayyboRetro]

Hello all,

I've been running Sprint's lastest ROM prior to last night, when I made the switch to Mighty ROM. I appreciate everyone who's provided instructions and feedback on flashing ROM's, b/c my first time went very smoothly.

Here's the thing though. I was expecting to see an extremely noticeable difference in the speed/functionality of my phone; however I haven't really noticed a difference at all. My used RAM is down maybe 2% based on the programs a most often run, but the phone doesn't seem to be running any faster.

I'm wondering if I could get some feedback from other Mighty ROM users that switched from Sprint 6.5. Am I missing something?? Thanks in advance.

give it more than 5 min maybe? tethering is free, less bs loaded, games seem better......

I'll disregard the bit of sarcasm to start your post b/c I can appreciate it as being the best form of humor.

I've read conflicting information regarding stealth tethering on this site. Some say that the use of WifiRouter on Sprint's stock ROM does not incur any additional usage charges, so I wasn't sure about that. Regarding your comment about less bs being loaded, that's one of the things I looked forward to that would really speed up performance. You're probably right that it may be a little too early to look for differences....

wasnt sarcasm, wait more than a day to see real improvements. usb tether i was talking about, not wifi.

I am on MR 5/24/10 and have used USB Tethering and the WiFi Router in Comm Setting...no extra charges so far. I tether my iPad through my MR phone and it works great! Allowed me to get the iPad without 3G because I can tether for free

I will say that at first when I went from stock to a custom rom I noticed nothing, but some things I learned was, before flashing use the pagepool changer and up the size, I use 32 (not sure what the measurements are in) but my phone runs a lot faster and smoother. I wouldnt use 64 because when I tried I didn't have enough memory to even open opera. My phone runs fast even when 80% of the ram is used. I am on the Verizon phone but I'm sure they aren't that much different.

Also, in order to use pagepool changer you have to extract the .exe file using winrar or 7zip and it's in the folder.

I have tried pagepool settings all the way from 6 to 32 & never noticed much (if any) performance difference.

well I used to think the same because I always used somewhere between 12-16 but when I did 32 I noticed a much more responsive phone, but maybe it's just me. I would just say to use it for about a month and then try stock rom again and you will probably notice the differences

anyone who has truely used a mighty rom will tell you the difference between Mighty Rom (any version) and sprint stock or any other is countless tweaks and stability while still maintaining as stock as possible

My only gripe with Mightyrom is that it takes about 5 minutes to load up from the initial power on.

Stock shipped Sprint didn't do this, and neither does my Sprint Lovers rom i've been using for the past week.
