Review of the 3 AKU 3.2 ROMs available

1st: SPEED -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

All 3 AKU 3.2 ROMs namely: JWright's 1.90.96, Indra's 1.90.94 R2, and Ivan's 2.50.00 Beta 15 are all faster compared to official AKU 2 ROM releases by the different manufacturers.

As far as comparing all 3 AKU 3.2 ROMs with regards to speed, they are all the same in my opinion, unless someone had already benched marked each ROM. At first, I thought Indra's and Ivan's ROM were faster than JWright, but after going back to JWright's ROM, they are all the same as far as speed is concerned.

2nd: AESTHETIC VIEW --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Indra>Ivan>JWright... I like the new look of Indra's R2 ROM. Definitely nicer icons and splash screen than the official ones and the other 2 AKU 3.2 ROMs.

If you prefer the simple look and less applications installed or provided on the ROM, go for Ivan's ROM.

3rd: STABILITY ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Indra>JWright>Ivan ... This is how I rank them in my opinion. I never had MEMORY LEAKS with Indra's ROM, but with JWright and Ivan's ROM, after a soft reset and leaving it for 12 hours it won't respond any more because the memory leak was so severe that you can't run any more applications unless you performed a soft reset. I also noticed with JWight's ROM, there are no memory leaks without anything installed, but after installing a few apps, that's when the leaks comes out. With Ivan's ROM, even after fresh from a hard reset with nothing installed, the memory leaks are there.

4th: MEMORY -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

JWright>Indra>Ivan ... This is how I rank them. After upgrading here are the following memory available for us to use without anything installed:

JWright: 29.47 MB (with memory leaks)

Indra: 28. something MB

Ivan: 28. something MB (with memory leaks)

5th: APPLICATIONS PROVIDED -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Indra>JWright>Ivan ... This is how I rank them. Indra based his ROM from JWright, so basically all applications on JWright's ROM can be found on Indra's ROM with the addition of a Task Manager, WM5 New Menu, etc... Ivan's ROM is very plain, but that does not mean it is not as good as the other 2. You can simply extract the files OFF of Indra's ROM and just add them to either JWright or Ivan's.

6th: INCREASING THE PAGEPOOL -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Indra>Ivan>JWright... This is how I rank them. To begin with their starting pagepool's were:

Indra: 4.8 MB

Ivan: 6.0 MB

JWright: 4.8 MB

After increasing the pagepool to 8.0 MB on all of them. There is a significant increase in speed with regards to Indra and Ivan's ROM. JWright's ROM on the otherhand had no significant increase in speed. I don't know why.

Hope this would help anyone to decide what they like. Good luck and thank you to JWright, Indra, and Ivan for the ROMs. I hope a new and better versions are on the way.
