Discussion: Which f/w people use the most?

[phpatel5529]

Hey guys,
I m starting this thread to get idea of most powerful,most used f/w for our E6.
I was 1st using generic f/w.
Then i flased with Ahman's hybrid.
Now i m using moto rokr muzix addition.

I dont know about the most powerful one, but I like whats in my signature.
I tried the following and had problems with most of them:
.Ahman's 08p hybrid
.Autoswap 10p beta by Akshay
.Some 10p mod posted by ddvn
.Rokit rokr or something like that.

After 3 months or so with all that, i got back to what i think is the best one, DaGr8's

09 generic with custom modifications - clean, stable, fast and perfectly suited to my needs.

May be this all is a matter of choice. i am using Autoswap beta and it is working fine for me.In my opinion firmwares with lots of preloaded applications are not that useful. It is better to mod later according to your own needs. I've used ahman's hybrid and Workingman's firmware previously

I don't know too much, but I don't really see the massive benifit to flashing my phone, other than just because, or for some small changes.

I have .02P, which I guess is an older firmware. I have Edge and Quadband though, and tons of apps. I have only ever run across two programs I couldn't get to work (Mcleaner and some E-reader)

I may go with the Ahman Hybrid or the Musixs one.
I just got a second E6 (its used, but was less than $100), and I am going to mess with it some.
I just haven't found anything that compels me to change my FW.

Those who changed theirs, why? I'm just curious.

I'll list my reasons:

. Stable, my phone never hangs
. Slightly improved camera expose time
. Can run multiple java apps simultaneously
. Handles all themes I've tried quite well (Some f/ws didn't, gave me turncoats)
. Has usblan thru which i can access my phone as an ftp service. (generic firmwares dont have usblan)

actually very good reasons.

I never thought about running multiple java apps, but that is cool, so I can play a game while listen to music.
usblan thru is something I am going to look into.
You reasons make me want to check out your FW.
thanx
Theme-wise I am using iroke6 latest (green) version. I like it better than most others, although I do like the way the "Musix" theme looks and its just sitting on my memory card, I just havn't used it.
I'm working on a College football them for my brothers E6, will post it later.

As far as themes are concerned, i'm on that Flames thing rite now. I think that gives a pretty electric look to the phone.

With USB lan and FTP service running, you can access the phone's mem card as an FTP on the comp. Which means you can access the mem stuff simultaneously from both the phone and the comp. (Transfer mpkg files, install them, test, delete if dont want, and charge the phone all the time). Pretty neat, i'd say.

There's one more thing about this f/w. The java engine is really fast. I've heard 09p is faster, but i havent tried.
A lot of games like:
EA Sims Pool
Tom & Jerry Pinball
Worms 2008 Space Odessy
These ran frame by frame in most other firmwares i tried 08p variants and 10p variants. Only in this f/w do all these games run real smooth.
