Best ROM for Touch Pro and Cricket

I was getting ready to make a new ROM and go for the WM 6.5 effect. The more I looked at creating it, the more I started to think that maybe I shouldn't reinvent the wheel.
So I am asking my fellow PPCGeeks, considering the that Cricket is the carrier, what is the best ROM that I should load up. I was using To'o Cricket ROM, but I noticed some performance issues.
I have seen a ton of ROMs out there, but which one works seemlessly with Cricket?

Thanks

I believe that I started my question with the fact that I was going to build Kicheniize my ROM. If I had time on my hand to build my own ROM as I did for my VX6700 and VX6800, I would have done so. Considering that I don't, why not use something that has been built and works.
With all of this said, would someone recommend a ROM that plays nicely with Cricket and is effecient.

Re: Best ROM for Touch Pro and Cricket

The thing is, when you ask questions like this you are going to get a wide array of responses as per each individual's opinion. Thus, it is my advice that you just start trying them all til you find what works for you. I notice some programs cause instability on some ROMs while not others and vice versa. Give it a shot as it will surely depend on the programs you use and your personal preferences. Hope this helps.

To list a few:
Juicy 7
Mighty 5
Merdihn's 6.5
Star ROM
Phantom
Caulkin's

Sorry for any I've left out, these are just the ones I've tried.

By the way, I am on sprint though I know most of these are not carrier specific.

Thanks for a great response... Now you have listed a good number, but what was the one that you liked best, and why?

That would be great...if there were options for cricket on the Touch Pro kitchen menu.
But there's not.

Re: Best ROM for Touch Pro and Cricket

Hi Kcallis,

I would like to suggest Mighty Rom 4/R3born.

It's the best WM6.1 rom out there. Fully loaded, TF3D optimized, updated drivers and registry settings. Social networking with Youtube, Facebook uploading. Flash and java support. NueGPSSecurity fully integrated. UC and Sashimi compatible. Opera and Pocket IE. GPS is unlocked and comes with the newest version of Googlemaps. Internet Sharing and Bluetooth explorer and so many other things. Everything works and works really well. Also there is customizations and themes made specifically for it by Lilrico. It is also a multicarrier rom. Here is the link:

http://forum.ppcgeeks.com/showthread.php?t=67139

Also here is a posting with all the MMS and DATA settings for Cricket. I just did a search on this site and this popped up.

MMS easy set up cabs:

MMS and full data settings:
http://forum.ppcgeeks.com/showpost.p...92&postcount=1

I'm very experienced with Mighty Roms so if you need help PM me or post to the thread. You can check out the help post in my signature also.

Goodluck !
