Root Radioactive FroYo ROM v1.8.4 **9.2 MFLOP** **Moment-Acclaim Hybrid**

I am on 1.7.8 and am @ 40% battery left after 26 hours. I can't beleive this. I have my gmail syncing all the time, beatiful home updating 30 mins. I took some calls yesterday. I deleted a ton of emails. I even updated 4-5 apps on the market. Checked the weather alot during a hour stretch. I am very happy!

People seeing similar results with 1.8.6??

Thanks for this! I have been going through hell looking for a good rom to install on my gfs Moment. Never again will I get her a samsung android. HTC is far superior coming from a Hero user. Hopefully this will work flawlessly. Most important part, battery life. And by what I'm reading here, its gotten a lot of positive feedback. Lets see how it goes, and thanks again.

Good luck and keep us updated. I just had to plug my phone in. I went 28 1/2 hours on one charge.

That is surprising to hear, a lot of people switched from the Hero to the Moment I've read on various other forums. I went from the Eris (basically the Hero) to the Moment and think it is a far better phone although I do like the styling of HTCs phones.

Really? Maybe im just being stupid but I feel like the roms on the moment arent half as good as they are on the hero. Maybe this rom will change my mind. We will see :)

So yesterday I experienced the worst battery life I have ever had. Gonna give it a try again today to see how it does.

I didn't even make it 12 hours on a charge and I even had my phone on a USB connection for a short period of time twice during the day. Only thing I did was text, tried out the wireless wifi (with phone plugged into USB) live wallpapers for about an hour, and that was it. I also had GPS off and used my bluetooth head set for about 15 minutes. Wasn't talking, just had it on while I was doing something and was waiting for a phone call. Really not happy with this so far.

How do I uninstall this? I'm assuming I have to reflash my phone?

This hasn't been the experience of virtually anyone using this rom (or any of the more established roms), so there must be somethinng else in play. Did you flash from stock DE03, or some other rom? Sometimes when flash between different roms, issues can arrise. Possibly the flash went a tiny it wrong(re flash) or it's some other program you installed? Flashing back to stock rooted DE03 and then flashing to the hacked rom is usually the answer. obviously, if you're done rooting, flashing back to stock DE03 with the Samsung install program will wipe any trace of the rom off your phone. Good luck!
