I'm about to start Titanium Backup going, and just rooted my phone with Gingerbreak 5 minutes ago.
I'm SO sick of the TWS bug and my crazy battery drain- What's the point of a cell phone if it has to be plugged in all the time?
If I can just fix the TWS and battery drain, and can browse the internet for 4-5 hours a day without charging, I'll be ecstatic. Is it possible?
(I have android 2.2)
I'm looking for a good rom. I'm fairly tech savvy, but I don't compare to most of the members here.
That being said, I'd like a reliable, smooth-running rom with good battery life. I was thinking about gingerbread, but I don't really know THAT much about it to decide. Titanium backup is running now.
I do like bragging to my tech friends, but I have the distinct feeling that anything more advanced than gingerbread would be a bad idea (More trouble than they're worth). Even so, the newer ones looks nice if they wouldn't bog down my optimus V's teeny little processor.
Since it might help, I use my phone for:
Web browsing (I use Dolphin atm)
Email
I take pictures here and there- Would gingerbread of ICS camera app be better than a downloadable one I can already get (such as Ucam)?
Writing if I ever find a nice app for it, and a keyboard I like.
I mentioned it above, but most important to me are:
Stability (So sick of freezes and random reboots even with the STOCK software)
Speed (Doesn't have to be maxed, but some improvement over stock would be great.)
Customisation (I like 'fiddling' and 'fine tuning')
I've heard good things about cyanogen 7, so I might start installing it while I wait for a reply.
Thanks for your help...
