Root Best light rom with MMS + 3D?

A

Apk07

Lurker
My girlfriend's getting this phone and I want to root it, remove bloat, and optimize it. Whats the best rom that keeps all VM features working, doesn't break any 3D stuff, and is better than the factory shipped stuff? Honestly if all the 3D crap worked with CM10/Paranoid, I'd take that route, but it seems like sense is a better option for her

I've heard a lot of people recommend harmonia. Haven't tried it personally but fits your descript.

Harmonia or the Mobster series, I would say. I'm running a custom mobster Rom that I'm working on. Everything is great.
 
mobster is a good choice for that too. but i would show her what cm10 can do if she wants to "upgrade" later on when/if she tires of the 3d. for cm10 i would reccomend pa 2.99 by lens flare, agrabrens disarmed toaster, or chad's anthraxed cm10. also mms is almost fixed and 3d is next on agrabrens roster, so i give it 2-3 months and we should be near 100% on cm10.

Mms if you swap out an apk and change a few settings can work, I believe. You could also try GoSMS for mms, as I've heard that works.

You heard right. GoSMS works after going into the GoSMS Advanced Settings and manually entering VM APN settings

Average non root user is not gonna understand why they have to use some work around just to send a picture message. If it was my girlfriend I would flash her harmonia, stock and simple plus everything works. Perfect for average user
*or a sense 4 rom if 4g isn't an issue,mms works for sending and receiving

well i think the best thing is for him to show this tread to his gf, im sure if he is tech savvy enough he can set her up any way she likes the most, i just have a really hard time recommending harmonia, every time i tried it it seemed super slow to me, last time i tried it was 4 months ago tho...

however i reread the first post, and if you wanna add features with stability, then go with mobster rom v3 lite, its as close to cm as you can get with stock, and would make it easier for her to transition to cm10 down the road. (personally i would also grab a good kernel and enable the sweep2wake mod and fastcharge mod)

Sounds like what you are looking for would be something like Harmonia 3.17

PowerRom sounds like the choice for you
 
I'm on gangnam style rom too, tried the go sms configuration, no avail.
This is a bummer but no biggie... until I need to send/receive a pic at least
