Root Best custom {ROM} for CWM 5.0.2.8?

Newbie
If you can take a few seconds and post some good ROM'S,

I have tried "Open android"
I have also tried "Monster 5.3"

Some really cool one's that could keep me entertained for a while or good with tethering for Metro would be nice,

Would be helpful for other people as well, cause we are lazy enough.
Lets get this list started!

​
Please and thank you!​
 
New to rooting myself. But I will tell you what I have tried, and the results.

First I started with Monster 4. I really like it. Compared to the phone non rooted, it blew it away. Didn't care for the bottom bar only having 3 icons. Im used to GO with it non rooted and having 5 down there.

I then decided I would try OA after reading the posts for a while. WOW! blew Monster away. Biggest thing I noticed first was the crispness and smootness of the fonts and menus. I had to switch a few things around, but it was awesome. Seemed I had better 3g and wifi, but again I am new to this and it may be my imagination. It did vibrate and shut down on me though. I switched to 800Mhz on startup and it still did it. Not often, maybe 2-3 times a day, and only when I opened a program (none specific). But oddly enough I used velocity control to change it to 850Mhz and no problems since. Well, maybe every 3-6 days. but whats a shut down that often. Nothing.

So anyways. decided since I am trying things, hey lets go to Monster 5. something or another. I hated it. Not that it was bad (and again, I don't know shit. I just rooted my phone and like what I have tried.), but I didn't like the layout, and to be honest (I hate when people say that... so otherwise I lie?), I think the font crispness and quick responsivness of OA ruined all others for me. OA makes me feel like I have a new comp at my fingertips.

So I went back to OA. I love it. Sticking with it. Installed Beats. My phone blasts. Be carefull though, I don't want to blow my speaker. I did try 900 and 800 Mhz again, but didnt work. 850Mhz is smooth as silk.

Just my two cents and they arnt even worth that with my experience

Dude you basically just named the two top roms for the admire. I would assume most people already have one or the other installed
but i would say OA as of now and that's the end of it lol. No need for a list. Plus oa comes with tethering so you're good to go with that

Most likely yeah. I'll assume he didn't search before starting this thread. There are other ones where people are asking for the best rom in general for the admire. Some are just a little old.

OA comes with an stock kernel version now if you ever experience problems with the overclock kernel

i dont have a problem with people asking questions but i have a problem with people asking the same question over and over out of laziness. so many redundant threads out there now T_T


and OP, OA is the only rom that currently lets you tether without the need to use switcher agents to spoof the connection

OA wont let me send MMS with or without the fix.

It's beginning to piss me off.

did you reset your APN for your respective carrier? when i was on OA i could send MMS from boot. the instructions says to go into the APN app and to restore the preloaded APN settings for Cricket or Metro if you arent able to send MMS
 
I'm prompting my own work. Lol. Try lunar-gen out and see how u like it.
