I'm currently on qkster's stock rooted rom (which is awesome, by the way), but I'd like to try something a littler more fun.

Here's my concern - I'd like it to be relatively light RAM-wise. I get a ton of slowdown (even when using Advanced Task Killer) and am curious if any of the current roms have a lighter memory footprint.

I also need bluetooth and GPS.

So, anyone who's flashed 'em all (or even a few) have a recommendation?

Thanks in advance!!!!

I believe, correct me if I'm wrong, but the only light roms are Vagabond, AEON, and [Dev]a station. All of which are excellent choices. I believe AEON might be the lightest due to Bigfau's choice of apps and such.

qkster rom is great...you get a ton of slowdown? Must have a ton apps running? Powerful depends on the users hands...sure if we both have the same Heavy Duty F350 Ford Truck, but all you do is drive around town and I use mine on the Ranch hauling, pulling, working the fields...your definition of power is different than mine...btw I'm Ford Fan...

Yes you are correct IMHO...also yes users have their own apps and like me...I load my ROM's down with app's galore...kills battery life, but carry a spare and have chargers everywhere, hell I'd leave the wife behind before my chargers...LOL
