Slim Bean for the DNA just got released over at xda. I'm going to try it out tonight and see how it is compared to stock CM 10.1. I'll report back tonight or tomorrow.

It's optimized for stability foremost, then performance and battery life.

That sounds interesting. Does it actually help? Would I get it from XDA?

Well today was my first day on the kernel. I think it helped with battery, but I'm not sure. I know I haven't done a lot to really conserve my battery. I kinda feel like why limit my phone's resources. I got a bad *** phone, I wanna use it as such!
I never really had any stability issues so I can't really gauge that. And performance wise, it's still rockin!
Yes, it's available over at XDA

Thanks Kevin, perhaps this will be a weekend project for me. Is it pretty hard to install? And yes, this is a bad *** phone!

It's very easy to install. If you are rooted and S-OFF, you just install it like any other .zip from recovery. You are on Viper (it seems) so you want to make sure you get the correct Sense kernel. He also has one for AOSP which I am using with Carbon.
I can't stay away from Sense5. I've done a little research, and I'm back on Newt's NOS M7. "I WANT TO BELIEVE!" 
I believe I can cure my mms issue with Verizon's Messaging app from Play Store, don't know why I didn't think of that before, and found out that NFC is on by default when you flash the rom. I turned that off, so I'm hoping battery will be a bit better now. I made a sturdy back up of my Carbon set up, so worst case scenario I can at least go back there. Wish me luck!

Thats why my MMS is slow/spotty. I did not know the AOSP messaging app was broken when I installed and I selected to not install the HTC Messaging app
I don't mind using it, but do I have to reflash if I want to install that app?! Anybody notice that doing Facebook search crashes the app? That never happened on any other ROM.

Nah, just extract it from the roms zip and push it to system/app

What he said.... I think those commands are in the Viper thread over at XDA

Thanks! I actually found out that I can just use a third party messaging app, and I really like Textra, so I'm gonna stick with that!
All right so ill probably bite the bullet and root tomorrow morning and load up a rom. Question is; what ROM is most stable and provides good battery life for a brief road trip? I like the CM based ones and Illusion & Bellybeer are some of the ones that look intriguing but reading through the threads its a little hard to determine what a good opinion is on the roms current status bc of some of the recent updates.
Also has anyone used this battery saver app:
[ROOT][FREE] [2.1+] One And Only Kernel-Level Power Saver - One Power Guard V2.9 - xda-developers
Looks intriguing because its not just a simple app killer and appears to have good reviews on XDA.
Any input?
thx!!

I'm on nos m7 it's been pretty good, not many bugs and battery is really good. 12 to 14 hrs and have 25% left.

I've tried a couple ROMs and though it might not look the prettiest, ViperDNA has been 100% bugless with the exception of the AOSP messaging app. I've installed textra and everything works just fine.
For battery saving, try greenify. That seems to be the hot app these days.

Thx, yup I've used Greenify before but the other app sounds intriguing so may give that a shot. I'll probably load up Viper to try it but I haven't been a fan of the ROM after I tried it a few times on the Rezound. It was a bit buggy back then and I didn't see the point in using a ROM that was near stock and replaced the removed bloat w 'bloat' from the Viper dev team ;-)
