Hi all,
Do you know what comes before newbies? Me! I'm hoping to pick up my Evo on Oct 1st, and only then will I graduate to full newbie status. I have been reading the forums, however, so I'm only about 60% clueless at this point.
Bright and early on Oct 2nd, I will be jetting off to Hawaii. Some time in the preceding 13 hours, I'd like to have rooted my phone, and have flashed a custom ROM. You see, I "need" wireless tethering to work during my vacation, and I would welcome more speed and battery life as well. What I don't want are crashes and other things that will harsh my vacation mellow. I test software for a living. I'd prefer not to do it in Hawaii.
So, which ROM should I take with me? Here's my wish list:

So, which ROM should I take with me? Here's my wish list:
- I think I'd prefer to start with a Sense ROM. I'll wait til I get back before messing around with replacement launchers and the like.
- It needs to be solid and non-crashy. A daily-driver class ROM. Less crashy than stock 2.2 would be nice.
- I'd like the FPS cap to be removed. (Which I guess excludes the AC ROM, unless someone can recommend an alternate kernel to layer on top.)
- More battery life would be nice, but not an absolute necessity. I'm taking three batteries and an external charger with me.
- More performance would be nice, but again, not an absolute requirement. I won't be benchmarking at the beach.
- I don't care if 4G, FM, and HDMI don't work, so if someone wants to talk me into CM, I'll listen.
