Please give your opinion of this rom and if you would recommend installing it...
how is :
battery life
Performance
usability
stability
what does it need or not have

thanks for the input
 
Battery life... same as stock zva (turn off 4g and save a ton)

Performance.... beautiful. Runs like my esteem @1.5ghz at only 745mhz

Useability.... it's stock zva....
Works 100% except Bluetooth... pair devices before flashing

Stability... reboots occasionally.
 
I've only once had this rom reboot on me, and have had it since released. The only time it did was while running at the preset 1.5ghz max cpu. I run at 1.188 with no issues. Great rom!
 
I run it with Go Launcher EX and CPU @192/864 interactive noop => very smooth, lasts almost all day long. Usually i put it back on charger in my car while driving back home and battery left is in general between 15% to 50% (i keep 4G and wifi almost always on at home/office). I keep all random animations on.

Only one random reboot while connecting it to computer (couldn't repeat the the issue a second time)

One repetitive bug, sometimes when someone calls you, keyboard appears on top of locked screen. This happened maybe 10 times but i could still use the phone normally and make the keyboard disappear. i didn't figure out how to repeat that error but it happens.

I'm going to keep this ROM unless Broken Out v2 comes out (or ICS or jelly bean or linaro...:rolleyes:)
 
I use BrokenOut with GoLauncher, GoLocker, a whole BUNCH of running widgets, RomToolbox Pro running CPU profiles (1188/600 screen on, 400/600 screen off with smartassV2 governor) along with Noop scheduler and JIT compiler and a few more performance tweaks.

Battery life is same as stock, about 12 hours standby or about 4-6 hours full throttle

Performance is AMAZING. It NEVER slows down, its always smooth, and I havent encountered a game yet that it didnt play smoothly (veggie samurai, Gun Bros, ShadowGun and a couple others that my girlfriends samsung running at 1.0Ghz had trouble with all play smooth as butter on mine)

useability is better than stock, whether its built in ROM features or simply features accessible because of the ROM. The ONLY affected system is Bluetooth as far as Ive experienced (and I havent used it myself but almost everyone has reported it so Im guessing my phone will be no different)

Stability is excellent. A couple of random restarts in the beginning (most likely due to my own actions though) but since then no problems

couple of recommends. DONT run LG Connect Optimizer or the factory No Frills CPU Control (I have a feeling that they conflict with other apps like RomToolbox or anything that does the same functions I.E. CPU speed controller, an SD card speed increaser, build.prop modifications etc. because as soon as I deleted them and JUST used RomToolbox for things like CPU speed control I havent had a problem with random reboots). I would recommend paying the $5 and getting Rom Toolbox Pro. It replaces something like twenty apps and does a better job at them than the original apps did. AND it has features that you cant get elsewhere. Seriously its an awesome program.

It has been a FINE ROM for myself and honestly since we dont have ANY other options besides stock (IM waiting for CM9 or equivalent) AND this came out VERY quickly compared to the release of the phone, I am really amazed that it functions as well as it does.
 
I use BrokenOut and I like it. I don't use Bluetooth so I have no complaints there. Make sure you use the Cpu fix if you want to overclock. I use the Cpu Control in ROM toolbox pro and set sliders. I guess my only complaint with this ROM is in the settings where the text is just not good colors. You can barely see the underline text because it blends in with the background so well. Then anytime you have a popup where you have to make a choice, it's transparent and you can see the words underneath plus what you are supposed to choose and sometimes that can be difficult. Other than that, no complaints. As far as the rebooting, my phone did that on occasion before I flashed this ROM
