My review of the MyVision rom for the G2/DZ




This is in no way my rom or my picture. They were both created by xda member bsbokc


There are only a few roms out there that people really love. Roms that people really appreciate having. ROMS that people stick with for months, even years. You might have heard of a couple like, virtuous sense 2.0.0., or any cyanogen mod ROMS. Well one that I thought was interesting (that people seem to love) was the mytouch port called myvision. It is mainly just a port but from a unique phone nonetheless.

This rom was made from Motorola for the mytouch 4g. This is mainly what most major companies like to do. They put their own skin over android. HTC is the company that made “sense”, There are also others like Samsung’s “Touchwiz”. Motorola didn’t add that much. They just changed the icons a bit and added a few apps.
OK so here is what I think of the ROM:

APPS:

This is one of the many things that make this rom so special. The rom comes with all of the up to date T-mobile apps which after rooting you probably wouldn’t have heard about.
HANDS FREE:
 And although that’s pretty nice I am in love with the hands free mode. I think that it is very interesting and unique. What it does is it reads you the text messages, calls or even reads the notifications that come through.
When you get a message with hands free mode turned on it will say you have a message from (someones name) and will ask if you want to hear it. It will then turn on the voice feature and wait for you to respond. If you say yes it will read you the message. Then give you the option for responding.
When you get a call it will tell you who it is and allow you to say accept or decline.
 This feature seems to be very useful if you are driving and have to text or call someone and don’t want to disobey the law.
 MY MODES:

My modes is a very interesting app that you will love if you go to work or have kids that love to play on your phone.
 It allows you  to set limits of what your phone is allowed to do. For example when in the children’s mode you are not allowed to get to any of your personal things like your contacts or emails. Thids is great for when you have your siblings or kids playing on your phone and don’t want them to destroy anything. There is also a work mode that allows you to take away any distractions that you don’t want to be tempting you. You also get to set everything up on your home screens differently for each mode.

BATTERY

This is something that always concerns me when I choose a rom. I never know how it is going to be. I also don’t like reviewing about it as it can really vary from person to person. But it is important so…
I think that this has very average battery life. I can usually get about 9-15 hours out of it. Which is really fine. I can manage with that but it is usually nice to never have to worry about plugging in your phone whenever you have the chance.
This really should never hold you back. You have to try it for yourself and see how it goes for you. I like to overclock when unlocked and undervolt when locked with the virtuous app. But it may last longer for you if you set it to a lower voltage than I have it.

OVERALL

This rom is loaded with features. You can put your phone in different modes, control your phone without your hands and don’t think that is going to slow you down as this rom is fast and can easily last a day. If you want a rom that you will love using for years to come, you will love it!
