Help me choose a custom ROM!
There are so many options and I have major custom ROM overload! I found great links to a few custom ROMs that have been posted and I needed some "experience" help in deciding which one will be best for me.
Below is a list of "must have" items or items I use on a daily basis. Fully functional e-mail, contact, and calendar through Microsoft Exchange Server - this is a MUST because I use my phone for business as well as personal. Ability to have up to four quick links in the bottom menu bar. I currently have the following icons that I use constantly - Phone, Contacts, Text Messaging, Applications. Everything else is accessed through home screen icons. Compatability with current downloaded Android Apps. I need to have two apps working - 1. Biblegateway widget on one of my home screens. 2. XXXWatch accountability software on my phone (required for my ministry at church). Audio/Video Capabilities I listen to a lot of music on my phone as watch movies from time to time while traveling or at the gym. I would like to keep this functionality or maybe improve the sound. Optional items I would like but not required. Better Battery Usage - I currently go through a fully charged batter in less than 6 hours. I would like to have this improved, maybe by removing CIQ? Removal of CIQ - if this truly affects batter life, then I would like to have it removed. Removal of Bloatware - again, optional, but why have all that Sprint crap on my phone when I never use it! These are the four custom ROMs I am thinking of installing: Rom Name: [ROM]Mostly Stock EI22 | Update 4 11/12 | (Added Extended Power Menu) Developer: xBTx Location: xda developers ********************** Rom Name: [ROM][EI22][ERA] Legendary ROM Beta.4.0 | NoCIQ Developer: hoffman1984 Location: xda developers ********************** Rom Name: [ROM] [EI22] [CWM] CleanGB Developer: toadlife Location: xda developers ********************** Rom Name: [ROM][CWM][EI22] SleeperROM 1.0.01 No CiQ, Stockish-CRT-Overscroll,HotSpot Fix Developer: SenseiSimple Location: xda developers ********************** Last edited by TexasAggie97; 12-01-2011 at 01:22 PM. |

Re: Help me choose a custom ROM!
I ended up going with the Sleeper ROM. It was the simplest version of GB with almost all I needed. I still need to fix the video player because it won't play my .mkv (Matrovska) video files and all my movies are in .mkv format. Previously, I had no problems watching these movies.
Other than that, everything backed up (Titanium) and reloaded without any problems! |

Re: Help me choose a custom ROM!
I tried out Rock Player and it was ok. I'm about to try out MX Video Player. Is that what you meant?

Re: Help me choose a custom ROM!
I actually meant mvideo player.but there are a bunch of video players that can play it...just mvideo player was the one I used on my Epic and it was one of the first with mkv support. There are other popular players like Mobo Player and Vital Player

Ahhhhhhh, I will look it up. I tried MX Video Player and although it started to play an 800 MB .mkv 720P movie file (THOR) on my phone, it hung up and crashed in about 1 minute and the quality during that 1 minute was poor, not 720p as it was in my stock video player. Sleeper ROM creator is trying to fix this issue along with a few others we have tested and posted about over at XDA. |
