As I wrote yesterday you can breath new life in to a old device without spending a fortune on a new phone. In my post New Life for Older Devices I detailed my experience in rooting and flashing a custom mod. This has turned my older, outdated phone into a powerhouse device with new features and settings that were unavailable using the stock Rom.
Many cellphone users are plagued with the same common issue poor performance and short battery life. Even after tweaking each setting and making adjustments the battery life is still poor and at times hinders the performance of the device. For stock users some tweaks can only be made with a rooted device, and other need both a rooted device and a custom Kernel.
On the XDA site there are many custom kernels that in combination with Cyanogenmod can greatly enhance both battery life and performance. I use the AJK Kernel and Cyanogen 10.1.3 with stweaks, this makes setting and changing different profiles easy and as an added backup you can reset profiles within the recovery mod in case you get stuck in a boot loop or the results were less that positive. making for a safe return to default settings.
Since I am not an expert in flashing and installing roms, I leave that to you. I am providing the links for you to be able to conduct you own research and decide if this appeals to your need to update and reinvigorate your older device.
