ROM Question, and Android Question

[theartofruin]

When I got my Touch Pro I was very disappointed about the performance. I decided to flash over to the JustWorks ROM. It works great, but I'm looking for more. I've tried searching but I can't quite get the criteria for the search down. Can anyone give me some suggestions on some other ROM's? I like the high performance and the bare bone style of the ROM's and can't stand when its loaded with any programs other than what I want. Can anyone help me out on some suggestions?

Also, I've been looking into trying out the Android thing, but so far all I can find is being able to run it of a SD card. Is there anyway I can try it out without running it on the SD card, as I don't have the funds to buy one.
