If you are looking for the fastest Gingerbread ROM on Android 2.3.5, not the best but fastest in terms of speed, you might want to give this combo a try, CyanogenMod 7 (Nightlies or Experimental) with Snap Turbo kernel.
Over the weekend, I’ve probably bricked my phone 10 times and tried about 10 different combinations of ROMs and kernels. It was indeed frustrating because my goal was to find the fastest Gingerbread ROM but couldn’t really find it.

You know when you are driving, the 4G connections can get a bit iffy on the HTC Evo 3D or 4G. Well, this is because Sprint sets default reconnect time for 4G WiMax at 5 minutes, meaning it won’t even “try” to connect to 4G again until 5 minutes is up.
