Also if possible can you guys tell me if my phone needs to be unlocked ( provider wise) in order to root and add custom rom.

Tyvm in advance.

P.s. the main thread about custom roms, flashing etc is closed and some of the links for the download do not host the apps there no more.

My first android custom rom is particle,
flash with Odin... there were less rom flashed by recovery that time...

I don't think u should unlock like u said...
no requirements like that...
just flash and all

*Main - 806 MAX - 245 MIN - SmartassV2
*Screen Off - 245 MAX - 122 MIN - Ondemand
*Temp > 49.5C - 320 MAX - 122 MIN - SmartassV2
*Charging - 806 MAX - 320 MIN - SmartassV2
*Battery < 16% - 672 MAX - 122 MIN - SmartassV2
Other thing is deep sleep which is on CM9 now but i have no experience on that.

Would you mind explaining how to apply these settings? I'm on CM 7.2

Use setcpu, free on XDA and set profiles

I've tested many many ROMs (stock, CM7.2, CM9, ...) and here is what I can say :

Battery / Stability wise, I would say "Adrenaline" is maybe the best.
No bug at all, rock stable, extremely smooth, and partial ICS look available.
I have been using it for several weeks, and I'm not planing to switch until an ICS ROM becomes available for Gio that is stable and battery friendly.

Phiezx CM7.2 is also really great.
It is not as smooth as Adrenaline, but offers more tweaks.
I've tested CM7.2 + Adrenaline Boost but it is still not as smooth as original Adrenaline.

GalaxyICS's CM9 is very promising, extremely smooth, looks great, but obviously it is not suitable for daily use (battery life is miserable, many bugs and stability issues).

I've not tested Particle, Jonas, and all other ROM that are not maintained any more.
