Choosing a Rom and Why? Some thoughts and Questions!

[ralphael]

After hesitating to upgrade my Rom to the latest Bell release (due to having to re-install all my apps), I finally bit the bullet this last weekend and flashed it to

RUU_Vogue_BM_WWE_3.09.666.1_Radio3.42.50_Ship

Several months ago, I had unlocked my htc and flashed it with aitel's rom but never bothered to try one of the cooked roms.

My first trial was NFSFAN's custom WM6.1 Roms simply because it was based on Bell's 3.08.666.1 rom set. However since I was unable to see the clock with the themed version and since NFSFAN's other non-themed ROM was unavailable, I decided to give DH's lack Vista Rom a try and found some very nice features making my phone totally brand spanking new.

Managed to get GPS working with both Romset as well TomTom connecting; unfortunately it takes anywhere from 15 seconds to a minute for the sats to reconnect everytime I put the phone on standby thus making the need to leave the phone on while using TomTom (the gps keychain always reconnected immediately whenever I turn the phone on from standby).

Although DH's Black Vista ROM is a very nice collection, I've found the phone freezing and sluggish at times; tapping the screen madly to get out of a function. I've reset the phone twice since I've installed the ROM.

Tonight, I'm flashing back to NFSFAN's No themed Rom simply for the reason that it was originally a Bell rom which may mean that it would be more compatible with my phone.

Now here are some million dollar questions

1. are most of the included programs in DH Roms such as Opera, installed in ROM, thus saving RAM space?

2. Is it better to install a ROM that was stripped from the original OEM Rom? such as NFSFAN's Rom which was created from Bell's latest ROM?

3. Anyone check the difference between
RUU_Vogue_4350_BM_WWE_3.08.666.1_Radio3.42.50_Ship
and
RUU_Vogue_BM_WWE_3.09.666.1_Radio3.42.50_Ship?

Thanks
