When I got my Optimus V in 2011 it was my first smartphone. I put on AOSPCMOD-OV-20110427 (2.3.3 GB) within 4 hours of bringing it home. Sadly, I've been utterly remiss in keeping up-to-date on anything regarding cell phones; over the past year and a half I've come to realize that my smartphone is a valuable tool and I'm ready to fix the problems the more novice me was fine with. I want MMS working. I want to be able to talk to people while I have headphones plugged in. I want better battery life. I want more free internal memory.
So, I was wondering if someone could help out a return newbie. The documentation on the individual ROM distributions seems to have left me at a bit of a loss; what's the "best" for functionality, battery life, and memory footprint? Am I ultimately just going to have to bite the bullet and try out each one to get a good idea for which is right? I have some paid apps like Swype and LauncherPro installed to my phone and would also like to know how to migrate those (and other phone-memory data) to a SD card so that I may drag those thoughts into the freshly lobotomized brain of my phone.
Please, grab me by the shirt collar and yell the basics in my face while shaking me violently. I don't even know what questions I should be asking... it's like I've forgotten everything about this stuff in a year and a half. Also, can the PRL change still be used with the new ROMs? I really like having coverage outside of my area
