When I had my TB I had ran th3ory's roms. It had great battery life and actually made the phone function. Just my 2 cents
As for this "smackdown". They are different roms imo. I tried them both. I switch between the 2 often. If you want no blur it's liberty. If you want some or all blur it's th3ory. They are both great. Smooth and great on battery. It's all up to you. That's why we make backups right?
I havent ran th3ory yet cant decide which one to run now with all the choices. Im on Liberty now what I did notice and Im sure th3ory is gonna be the same the phone is a lot snappier than just stock rooted. My BAMFED TB still is wright there and no data problem. I gotta admit had it out last two days didnt drop sig one time but never left 4G area worked like a real phone.
