Root Latest firmware

i can share with you guys my experience with a couple of firmwares i tested so far:

XXJB6 - slow and laggy browser and market, phone sometimes restarted by itself after turning on wi-fi
XEJC6 - i got the maps force close problem quite often
XXIH7 - phone sometimes turned itself off and i had to remove the battery and put it back in to turn it on again
XXII5 - my first firmware, i've been using it for months then i started flashing and experimenting. as far as i remember it was stable, no restarts, battery life 3-4 days. after trying other firmwares and seeing how crappy they were i couldn't wait to get back to XXII5 but i couldn't find a ROM that would work with odin so i went for XXII7 which i'm using now
XXII7 - phone sometimes restarts by itself after turning on aeroplane mode (no big deal i guess), but i'm currently using this firmware cause it's the most stable according to me and battery life is quite nice (4 days is not a problem with normal daily usage, e.g. a couple of phonecalls and texts, a little bit of internet and gps, 10-20 minutes of playing games and using other apps)

I'm still on 1.5... but it's getting annoying how no apps are released for
it any more. For example, update to Google Maps was released today,
works only on 1.6+

So, is there a 1.6 firmware with fixed no-sleep issue? I know that there's
a user made patch, but can I download a 1.6 firmware with no-sleep
integrated somewhere? I don't have the time to root stuff, go to recovery,
flash Galaxo and all that other stuff I have no experience with. I just
want a 1.6 firmware without any obvious bugs.

For multi-directional rotation you need to install GAOSP. 1.6 firmwares cannot do that.
