[HTC Rezound] weaverinva:
Good for you. Flashing is something to get used to. I've created a workflow of sorts to move between roms and I take all my 300 user apps and their data with me and everything comes back up cleanly. I've flip flopped between TRON and Infection. Seems Infection 2.4 may be a bit faster than TRON but if so not my much--the UI and DPI enhancements seem worth it. I use Exchange email and it seems that I have less partial wakelocks with TRON across the hours than on Infection. On infection 2.4 it seemed much higher. Although battery has been good with my normal setup on both.

I flashed FunkyKernel 3.3.1. I usually use Kernel Tuner and leave both CPUs at 1512 or around 1620 on the top and 192 on the downside using Intellidemand on both--this is not the default governor for TRON 2.1; however I saw another persons novel idea in a signature to set CPU0 lower like 1340 on wheatley, and then set CPU1 higher to 1620 or so on lionheart. Kernel Tuner allows individual CPU adjustments. This is a good setup for battery and performance in theory. Seems to be working for me now. I am getting Antutu of 6000-6700 on TRON 2.1. It feels fast.

Other tips: (know you did not ask for some of these...)

1) On TRON Media scanner seems to run extra long after initial boot for me. I have seen mine sometimes run for 12 minutes or more. This make for a very sluggish experience on my phone until it finishes and I cancel it sometimes. I don't reboot that often though. Once per week maybe. If a person puts the blank file '.nomedia' into many directories on the SDCARD the scanner supposedly skips those. I've done that.

2) I have found many apps doing too much in the background so I'm using Greenify (until I take the time to use Tasker better) to 'hibernate' apps while they are not in the foreground. Super easy. I used to use Autostarts and turn off many of the recievers but Greenify suits the bill and I can restore its items easily. I have Accuweather, BAM, Endomondo, Google Maps, MediaMonkey, NPR, Pocket, TED, Wash Post, WebMD, and many other apps 'greenified' and it makes such a difference in data activity and services running in the background. This also enhances performance. I used Tit Bkup to uninstall Google Talk because it was so 'chatty' on the wifi but it still used it some. I have not tried to greenify Talk. I don't use it though.

3) I have unlimited 4G yet so am fortunate. However, I have found that many services (including the worst Google Talk) create an enormous number of wakelocks when the phone is on wifi. Wifi uses a difference OS reciever event and I suppose that all apps view wifi data as free. So when I am on wifi data, my battery drives down quickly because so many services activated. But if I have wifi off and only have 4G on, then my extended battery can end the day at 40-55% unless I have been playing podcasts or news audio for 1-3 hours. BetterBatteryStats is the standard to get to know what is going on. The same developer has a wifi app that is suppose to sleep the wifi better when the screen is off. It works okay but having it always off and 4G on saves the most battery for me. #2 helps here as well because on wifi, the greenified apps will not access background data at all or as much. I am using this scenario until I take the time to use Tasker properly and have my phone on wifi wake up every 5-10 minutes for one minute.

4) Lots of widgets on your home screens and on the lock screen are performance drainers. I tried and paid for a lock screen widget program or two and I only used one widget at this point from Business Calendar.

5) I happen to use Apex because after trying many I want a lightening fast app drawer experience where I can page as fast as I want and it not miss my page. Holo Launcher came in second for me. I like to launch from multiple locations. Back to home then to app, or Folder Organizer from the notification bar (awesome way to group), or Smart Taskbar (jury still out on battery life but seems okay a great way to get to recent apps w/o going to Home) even though it starts its own services.

6) Many apps and even keyboards change performance. I use either SwiftKey or TouchPal for that.

7) My primary 'always' active services are only Apex, BetterBatteryStats, BusinessCalendar, eWeather HD, Greenify, Smart Taskbar, Volume+, and then of course the normal DSP/Media/Exchange/Google/keyboard of choice services.

8) Of course, I am running AdFree (there are many options for this...) which reduces data access. Some may not feel that using such is not of integrity because Ads support some apps. I try to buy many apps so that less data and performance is used. Freeware apps always use more performance rendering their ads and retrieving them.

9) I have PIE turned off. I have LMT loaded but not running yet. It seems to slow my experience down. Smart Taskbar and Folder Organizer from the notification bar pull down seem to take me where I need to go along with staid Apex.

'Performance' and feel of a device are so individual and depends on what you have loaded; Android is great in that customization is allowed but in that same breath you may have rogue apps . Hope this diatribe helps. Enjoy the ROM.

Thank you for the tip. I am using KT form the market which is older and 3.2.5. I should update to version 4 with a side load.
