I haven't seen many people speak about this except on the XDA forum which is 1500 pages long.
So Android Revoultion - for those who don't know - is essentially Stock Sense 6 but with a lot of optimizations under the hood. Faster performance, improved battery life and quicker response times when using soft keys plus a tonne more.
I have been using this now for a couple of days on my HTC ONE M8, and i have to say this rom does exactly what it says on the tin. The phone flies. There is absolutely no delay, no stutter no judder and no crashes (I can't speak for apps you download of course, they may crash regardless). I was very...hesitant we will say on installing rom because I come from iPhones where we are pretty much locked and I have always lived by that rule. 'Modding' my new android which was no slouch to begin with took some thought because I didn't want to break it. (It turns out though that even if worst comes to worst and you do brick your phone, its always repairable with just a cable and computer).
I am very glad I did it now as having this rom on my phone feels no different to having your phone with its standard os, except it is just a lot faster. Battery life is also improved by quite a lot, I have been using my phone since 8:30am and I make no exaggeration when I say I have been playing with it all day and haven't turned the screen off for longer then maybe 5 minutes. It is now 4:00pm and I have dead on 50% battery power left. Incredible.
Another bonus of having this rom is it comes with - i believe - custom toolkit which allows you to make subtle modifications to the UI. For example you can choose to show or hide certain status bar icons (very useful if you have bluetooth on 24/7) and allows you to adjust the height of the soft keys, you can make them smaller. A bunch of small but very nice tweaks like this and all it takes is a simple reboot to activate them. I have a few of these turned on and it has really improved my experience : )
I just wanted to give mention about this mod as when I see people talk about rom they always mention Insert Coin, Cyanogen or Viper. This rom is for those that loves the stock look to sense 6 but wants to make it faster with better battery life and improved customization.
I am not being paid to say this, I have no involvement with the ARHD (Android Revolution HD) guys, I just really love their rom and wanted to share my experience and get the word out. I hope you can try it out and be just as impressed as I am.
Thanks guys.
