How do different roms compare?

[apap]

Now that there seems to be a clear guide to upgrading the question on my mind is what is the best rom to upgrade to.

Has anyone attempted more than one new rom and can they give us their view on how the roms compare?

T-Mobile MDA 11311001,
Very slow performance, takes about one minute to open windows folder ,GPS performance isn't bad(I'm using Destinator),phone signal quality is very good and Rom/Ram is 51/48,speaking of Ram ,has anybody noticed that right after a soft reset used ram is close to 35mb and comes down to 19mb after about 30 sec's?
Needless to say my T-Mobile is Wifiless .

OK here we go. (And this is my opinion. Yours may differ)
Device is HTC P3300 so originally came with the HTC 1.12.405.1 ROM Extrom 1.12.405.101 and worked flawlessly. Only thing it lacked was an application to properly close running apps. :( Installed Faria HTC x a hack of the HTC task manager, but could not "close"the phone screen after a call when the ënable x to close apps is ticked. So I used pBar which did the work well, but it could also not close Worldmate. That was the only irritating thing about HTC ROM.

DOPOD ROM:
Pros - Slightly more responsive than HTC,
- includes Acrobat Mobile while HTC uses the old ClearVue PDF reader, has the real Task Manager,
- Maintains higher free program memory ,with same apps and usage pattern, than HTC

Cons -
My main gripe is the poor Bluetooth stereo sound compared to HTC ROM, even with the usejointstereo reg set to 0 when used with my Sony Ericsson HBH-D970.
-Also has weaker ringing sound with the generic ringtones, but made up with DOPOD tones and still not comparable to HTC ROM.
- Internal storage memory is eaten up by the many extra proggies and ringtones. Some could be uninstalled but others are hidden as configuration files so always lower internal storage memory than HTC and keps reducing faster with usage without clearing storage with external app.
- Did not see any benefit of the Sound Manager program. It is not different from the generic windows media player.

So what did I do? I like my BT music so took out the main app parts I needed most and reverted to HTC ROM.

Looks like the Faria HTC x does not work well on the Artemis as indicated earlier. I copied the two cabs of HTC Task Manager (prog and the icon patch) and installed after flashing back the HTC ROM without installing pBar. Now I am a happy puppy :)

I miss the Adobe Acrobat Mobile(can't even remember the name) :( Also wanted to grab one or two of the dopod tones, but could not extract them.

Cheers
