Sprint TP2 starting over... looking for advice

[karossii]

Maybe some more info about my style and intended usage would be helpful...

• I don't use twitter and hopefully never will.
• I use facebook 90% for the games, which I can't access on a mobile device; the other 10% I am fine doing at my leisure on my PC or laptop.
• I get way too many emails each day (hour, minute, etc.) to have them come to my phone... my average, after spam filters remove almost all spam, is just about 250 per day (mostly during business hours).
• Whenever I can avoid texting, SMS, MMS, whatever you want to call it, I do. I much prefer to use a phone to talk, and a computer to send an email.
• I'd like to use my phone to play games, watch movies, listen to music, and call family, friends and business associates. I do also make use of the GPS/Nav functions, and occasionally get online to look something up, though I get annoyed with most sites' mobile versions so not as much as I had hoped to. It has also replaced my watch and alarm clock.
• I'd like the phone's battery to last as long as possible while I use it, whether it is in my pocket, on a call, or playing a movie or game...
• I'd like the phone to run smoothly and reliably at all times, with as little maintenance and flashing/updating/etc. as possible.
• When I have my laptop back, I'd love to use my phone as a modem or wifi router. I don't mind a USB connection, but bluetooth or wireless is nicer...

Thanks!

no twitter, any rom is fine

6.1 has the weakest facebook integration out of all roms

if you dont use email, any rom is fine. I dont think 250 a day is a problem and if it gets to be too much, change your download intervals. an untouched 6.1 is slow browsing through emails. 6.5 is better if you read a lot of emails

any rom is good to talk

any rom for apps

hit and miss for battery

6.1 more reliability, but you can easily make 6.5 as reliable with a soft reset everyday (process can be automated with a number of tools)

custom rom for wifi router; any rom applicable

wow thats a very interesting change of and contradicting stance menos de cincuenta. the stock 6.1 rom is more stable than the stock 6.5 or any custom roms that were made from build 21889, but the 21916 builds of 6.5 are just as stable as the stock 6.1 rom or the custom 6.1 roms with higher builds (21056 and 21057).

That answers everyone's question. Well actually you havent taken a stance at all. What rom is the best to use thats the most stable, thats what the thread is about. I would say use the sprint 6.5 rom if you dont want to install new roms everyday. Best custom rom, mediumhill. jajaja

"jaja WOW!! another menos de cincuenta trying to say that the stock 6.5 is better than custom roms or even the stock 6.1,that driver may speed things up but it still wont help the SODs and missing component issues that are in that rom."

None of the garbage you talk about here has been my experience. If it was I would not have shared the info. I was responding to the original post, not you and your 2 cents. You are entitled to your opinion and I will respect it.....and I am entitled to mine without your disrespectful garbage attached.....stock 6.5 is stable, in my opinion, and would best meet the OP needs as I understand them....his ultimate ROM experience may or may not be the same as mine. Infantile commentary assists no one......

i did offer my stance i said that any 21916 6.5 custom rom is very stable and are almost as stable and reliable as the stock 6.1 rom.

Usually Im ignoring this kind of discussions but honestly,whats up with WM 6.1,WM 6.5?

Its released in China.
I heard the same story 2 years ago when WM 6.5 came out and everyone was like "ohh,no,its not compatible with this and that..."
The truth is nobody contacted slacker or any other poor written app makers to fix the issue
