First if you had problems flashing over this ROM such as being in the sprint 4g boot loop, heres the fix. Take the battery out and boot into recovery . Wipe cache and Dalvik Cache then wipe data. Yes its painfull but this a very nice ROM. Anyway back to the review.

This is a pretty basic rom and not much is changed. Its basically a ROM that removes Bloatware and adds some nice Root apps such as wifi tether.

This ROM is on a stock kernel.

The one big thing I noticed is the good battery life.

I unplug my phone at 7 am and goto school, at school I send 30-40 text messages and check my phone frequently.

By the end of school, 3:15,I was at 80%
Now my bus ride is 45 mins long, so to the pass the time I normally play a game or am on phone texting and what not, now before root and rom , by the time I got home i would be around 20-30% but after playing a game for 30 mins (Angry Birds) and texting for the rest. I was at 67% which is MUCH better than the previous Stock ROM i was on
If your looking for a non changing ROM with good battery life and Bloatware removed, I reccomend OMJ 2.2 Froyo ROM
 
Honestly, the ROM has a small hand in battery life. It is mostly how efficient the kernel is. HTC's lastest Kernels, #10 and #17, offer amazing battery life. 9 hours of the phone being on and it was at 84%.

Now at 11hrs I'm at 65% after my drive back from school with GPS, Pandora, and 4G running.
