Hi,

ROM's are individual taste !! But I'd suggest CTMod3.68 or 187MoD or cm7 !! Here you can find all the ROM's :

I have tried every rom offered thus far for the prevail and I have to say the best rom would have to be Honeybread6. I say this because its the most stable. It can be found here.

Cool I will check these out when I get home.I finally learned how to flash my own phone. Lol Ready to try something new. Im feeling like a sponge I want to soak it all in.

Good !!!

Just make sure you read about the different ROM's and what they need for kernels. Don't just mix up kernels and ROM's since they are made to work with each other.....

And remember : Before you change to ANY other ROM, go into CWM Recovery ( Vol+ and Power ) and make a CWM Backup to your sd-card...... this way, if you don't like a new ROM you have installed, you can do an easy restore from CWM backup !!!! Also, make sure there is enough space on your sd-card to hold the backup.....

( I also copy each and every backup immediately after it's done to my computer, just in case there goes something wrong with the sd-card !!! )

This is all good stuff. I want and need to learn and know this stuff . I'm sure dtm gets irratated with me whining about my phone. Lol best to just learn how to do it.

Well, you're at the right place here....... lots of helpful and friendly folks around here !!

my best rom choices that i have used and experinced is Ctmod3.68 and joymod 1.0 but if you really want to look for a stable and fast capible rom use the ctmod3.68 works great!

Alright so far played around a little bit with mokee . And a bit with Honeybread . Im way to tired now to go into deapth with anything. Must sleep.

.I will comment more on the roms tomorrow.

That is the only way, try them all and see what you think and like and works for you! Then choose the best one for you. We can all say this and that but you have to see what you like best for you!

IMO CTMod is the best. I just wish the camera worked in cm9.

I just don't like the green status bar indicators.

tad1073 · Nov 13, 2012

I've tried all the roms available for the prevail and it's a toss up between CTMod and MokeeMod.

You know cm7 has the option of adding the theme chooser engine , right? You can make the status bar, and many other aspects virtually any color.
My current setup:

Where do I get this theme chooser from?

Lordvincent 90 · Nov 13, 2012

Just flash this zip
http://db.tt/9Ux6mzEx
It will install the needed files

Then download 'theme chooser themes' from the market...

It has a list of all the available themes for theme chooser... just make sure you set the filter to cm7 and avoid themes that say hdpi only... the prevail is mdpi... and can only use mdpi and ldpi themes.

I switched over to CM7 earlier and it is a lot more responsive than CTMod.
