Thanks for the tips. I flashed savaged zen and it's actually choppier than before and the battery still sucks. I'll give Tiamats a whirl!
SouthPhilly, how long have you been on MIUI? The whole "closed source from Chinese devs" thing wirries me a little, but it looks like an interesting rom.
I've been using MIUI as my every day ROM for a couple of months now. And have been playing around with it since 1.2.???. Other than some of the earlier builds being a bit buggy from time to time its been a complete pleasure using this rom.
It's still missing 4g, but even though I live and work in center city Philadelphia and our 4g coverage is really good. I couldn't tell you the last time I used it. Just about everywhere I go be it home, work, family's houses or even out around town I can find a solid wifi connection to jump on. So I'm not really missing it.
As for it being closed source and from a Chinese dev... isn't Microsoft closed source and alot of people still use it. And on the devs being from a... well lets say a closed source nation.... what's not to trust?!?!?! LoL.
Just cause its closed source doesn't mean the devs are out to steal your info or cause your device or you harm. From what I gather being closed source really just gives the devs some protection for all of the work they put into there rom. Isn't closed source kind of like copyrighting? I could be wrong, just going on what info I've been able to find here and there.
I look at it like this.... as I see it I'm not really that important and don't keep the much personal info stored on my device. And on things like android storing our passwords to email accounts and web sites passwords in the open, you just have to be careful. Even if your running a completely stock device. I never do things like go to my banks web site on my phone, even using an app. You just have to be smart.
Even Google has jumped on the closed source bandwagon and has decided to keep Honeycomb 3.0 & 3.1 closed source for now. So it is what it is.
Again I could be completely wrong on all this, and if anyone else can shed some more light on what "closed source" really means in this case I would love to learn more.
