myTouch 4G Slide (HTC Doubleshot) ROMs: Part 1, Undeadk9's Doubleshot ROM

Well, might as well start off slow. This is the ROM I use daily. I can say that the ROM is incredibly stable, I decided to use the Virtuous Unity v.2 kernel to pair with this ROM, even though the developer and several users say it's a bad idea. I have it overclocked from 384 MHz to 1.782 GHz using the "ondemand" governor. I have yet to find any bugs or problems on it, with only one reboot while playing a game.

Here is a changelog from Undeadk9's XDA post:
Changelog v5.1.0 ROM
Updated Updater Script to work with newest recovery
Fixed 2 bug issues
More Bloat Removal
Modified Rosie for Much faster and snappier movements

Changelog v5.0.0 ROM
Fixed USB Mount Issue
Added Stock Kernel (WAY TO MANY ISSUES)
Fixed Weather FC
Fixed Market Bug
More Performance Enhancements
Better Battery
Fixed A Few Other Minor Bugs
Some Other Stuff Im sure I forgot

Personally, I've run Quadrant Standard a couple times and I'm able to average at around 3900. My highest score was 4492. I'm still waiting for more random reboots before finding another daily driver, however, I'm sure a new kernel and/or ROM will come out long before that.

Out of 10, I give it an 8 based on the support, stability, and responsiveness of the ROM itself. There are many users, and Undeadk9 is a very helpful developer when he's not biting heads off. The work he put into this ROM makes it a perfect daily driver.

If you want to download and try this ROM out, visit Undeadk9's ROM post at XDA.

Edit: Undeadk9 has promised a release to his Doubleshot ROM on November 13th, 2011. He said he is going to use Romanbb's work to incorporate new features in the next release. Just giving everyone a heads up.
