Dammit. And I just flashed Project Elite! ROM FIGHT!
 
I've been running this for close to 24 hours, and I must say that it runs very well on my device. I haven't changed kernels or anything else yet from what was in the original rom, but I see no need to. I do miss the green keyboard, but that was just a personal preference. Also, the redraws on LP seem to be gone, and the 3G deal after calls seems to recover better on this one than the others. The only thing I have noticed is that it seems to zap my battery pretty quick, but that's probably because of my inability to set my device down :p

1.1 and 1.2 versions of this rom ran great right away. However after a few days they slowed down so much I flashed back to froyo. Anyone had this experience with 1.3?
I'm on day 3... it's still running as fast as ever.

I did downgrade to the 1.0 GHz kernel. I experienced 1 or 2 random reboots while using Slacker and the Camcorder using the supplied 1.1 GHz kernel. Additionally, I was looking to improve battery life.

Liquid Gingerbread v1.3 is simply fantastic! Been running it for days now and the battery life I'm getting is outstanding. 70% at the end of the day whereas it use to be 30% to 40%. And this is with the stock 1.1Ghz kernel. None of the other gingerbread roms I've flashed compare!!!! Butter smooth scrolling, no rom glitches, etc. A work of art if I do say so.

Agreed, I'm a huge UD fan, but I've been running LG 1.31 the last few days and it's been unreal. Battery life is somehow getting better, finished a full day yesterday at 70%. That's crazy, I used to be at 60% or lower just at the end of the work day. This is getting better battery life even after an extra 5 hours or so. I think this is due is large part to the new kernel, my phone has always been very picking about ulv and slv kernels, but it definitely loves this one.

This ROM might keep me from dropping $200 or more on a new phone in the near future...

After the latest round of GB Rom releases, I believe I have settled on this one. This rom is still silky smooth after five days straight of running just it (which has got to be the longest I have went without changing since initial root). Most of the glitches of GB seemed to have been solved on this one, and the easy theming helped me make my final decision.
