My first ever "what rom" thread

[juliend]

HA! I have never asked an opinion on roms. I'm a habitual flasher, but I've been with SSK for quite a while. I'm really liking 6.5.x base, but I need a really stripped rom for VZW. I have flashed about a half dozen roms the past few days trying to find a 6.5.x rom that would leave me with enough free mem to operate. The SSK 6.5.1 runs well, but is not very polished at all.

What's the lightest 6.5.x rom, no tachi dialer, no manilla? Or is there such a beast?

[jetdavdub]

don't know let me know if you find out.

[blackangst]

Might be a change of direction, but have you considered a 6.5 base with mobile shell on top?

[juliend]

Yeah I played with it a bit. The new mobile shell is pretty nice. I don't think I really gave myself enough time to get used to it. perhaps I'll give it another go...

Here is to hoping this is your LAST what rom thread! lol

ROMs are great for when you first get a new unit and want to see what type of programs are out there and what systems are needed for a good stable operation...Once you find a ROM you are pretty happy with the next step is to find out which Kitchen created it so you can customize it precisely to what you need. Get rid of the programs you don't use and adding the packages you do want that you saw from other ROM's you tried!

The PERFECT ROM can only be created by you...
You are the only one who knows what programs you use, which you do not need taking up space and once you have determined that you can take it even further by installing just the ringtones and sounds/settings you want so the unit has the maximum ram available for smooth operation.

when you build your SSK rom with the kitchen change the pagepool. he has it set at 10 as a default and i have run 6.1 down as low as either 3 or 4 for the PP and i get pretty good speed and plenty of mem left after everything loads.
