just make a backup of your stuff and factory reset or flash that custom rom and it should be fine...I would suggest if you plan to go EXT4 to go Journaling on.

Yeah, the CPU in the Epic is 45nm vs 65nm in the Arrive and is fairly energy efficient...The display is an energy Hog..might want to lower down Haptic feedback for one.

Here is a formula for energy usage on the display:

Red = 1x
Green = 2x
Blue =3x
White = 6x
Black = 0

So using white is 6 times more energy use over red..Black uses up 0 energy..

Also, you might be both interested in getting the 2 batteries + external charger off ebay..it costs like 8$ and is well worth it...I completely stopped charging my phone, I just leave a battery on external charger...then when I am low I just swap the batteries and put old one on charger and put in new one..rebooting takes like 15secs...
