So this Photon is my 1st android device. I've had this Photon for about 1.5 months. What rom(s) should I try? Why? What advantages will it offer it over another rom? Thanks in advance.
I'm surprised with the lack of ROM activity with this phone. They don't even have a ROM section in this forum. I haven't rooted yet, mostly because of the lack of ROM activity and because this phone is still really good in stock form.
Personally, I want a ROM that increases battery life. I'm more than satisfied with the phone's speed and want an undervolted ROM that saves battery life when sleep mode.
Sorry for the late reply. The reason I switched to Alien is, simply, I love change. Im one of those people that always enjoys changing either the look or feel of an android phone. I've been happy with alien, but they finally have an alpha version out of CM7 so I'll be installing that this week and will let you all know how that is.

There are only a few devs currently deving for the Photon. Yay is working on the unlock/4G issue while supplying us with rooted/deodexed updates. There are two devs working on CM7, cybik on the GSM side and mrinehart93 on the CDMA side. There's shabbypenguin working on kernels and seanzscreams on HomeBase (but he's on vacation/tour right now). Webtop improvements is my main focus while also trying to get webtop up and running on CM7 which is still in an early alpha. We have other devs that are on the Atrix that pop in and give us little gems like Alien, clockworkmod, bootstrap and more.
To be blunt, I like the small dev community on the MoPho. All the MoPho needs are rooted stock, stripped stock, kernels and AOSP/CM7. beyond that it's mostly themes. I think this is something that the Evo community has forgotten with it's +9999 flavors of vanilla.
