This is a copy and past of the review I posted in the ROMs thread. It is being posted here also for ease of searching for our newer and curious members.


Ok review time.....
When I first installed this ROM I was very impressed. The speed and smoothness are definitely above average. Everything came up as soon as I tried to open it, with the exception of a few programs that I had to manipulate to open(such as Windows Media Player). For the first day, I tested the battery with little to know usage, and to my pleasant surprise, the battery was still at a whopping 65% after being off the charger for 15 hours. I was, needless to say, very impressed. There, however, is where my impressed opinions of this ROM came to an end. The next day I decided to see how long the battery would last with heavy usage. After approx 3 hours of internet surfing, texting, and listening to music, I checked the battery status. I was very dissapointed to see that it was at a dismal 20%. I then came to the conclusion that the ROM is fast, but at the expense of a very quick battery consumption rate. The ROM was adept at preserving battery power with little phone use, but what good is that really? When you have a phone as powerful as the Touch pro, you want to use it. Not use it as a paperweight.
After my dissapointment with the battery power, the ROM was pretty much as expected in regads to performance and battery life, based on my experiments the first two days. After around three days however, my phone started having random freeze ups, programs would not load properly(if at all) and the phone began to take an excesive amount of time to boot up. I first thought this was because of all the installing and uninstalling I was doing(for the review videos I was posting in the themes section) so I gave the ROM the benifite if the doubt, did a Hard Reset and repeated the flashing process.
I had assumed that this would correct the flaws I found in the ROM. I was, however, wrong in my assumption. The same problems surfaced again, this time after 4 days of use. The battery was also giving the exact same results.
So, all in all, in the end? I give my first impression of this ROM a solid 9 out of 10. My opinion after 1 week, however, drops drimaticaly to a 5 out of 10.
This ROM has so much potential and is already on the correct path for greatness, but the chef has some issued they will have to iron out in order for this ROM to truley be a "Star" ROM.

hmm im still running this rom after 3 and a half weeks still not one freezeup battery with heavy usage lasts about 6 hours for me...if i use it like i normally do i get to about 40% when im about to go to bed. Perfomance-wise still has not glitched or froze only things that bothered me in the beginning were links to programs not working and that was an easy fix. I still give this a 9 out of 10 after 3 weeks

I ran the unreleased, I guess it would be called a test version now, version of ATR platinum and hands down it had the best battery life I have ever had...It was even better than starRom currently is. By the way, I have been running starRom for about a week now and my experience would probably be between Superman369's and Dash/venum's experience. Battery life is great and I have had the random freezes but they are few and far between. Overall I would rate this rom a 7.5/10
