For my new ROM please go HERE
Installation instructions & other useful information
To install on your Evo:
1. Copy OmegaEVO_v1.0_by_Ricsim78.zip to the root of your SD card.
2. Shut off your phone and boot into recovery.
3. Do a full wipe (Data, cache, Dalvik, SD Ext.) Do it twice to be sure if you want to!
4. Install OmegaEVO_v1.0_by_Ricsim78.zip. It should take a few minutes to install.
5. Reboot the phone. It should take a long time to start up the first time. Please be patient!
6. If all goes well, enjoy your new ROM!
7. If not, start over from step 2 after pulling your battery.
To install a custom kernel: Let the ROM load up first and then reboot into recovery and wipe the cache and Dalvik. Then install the custom kernel and reboot.
To install a theme: Let the ROM load up first and then reboot into recovery and wipe the cache and Dalvik. Then install the theme and reboot.
How to backup and restore using Titanium backup Here is the method I use to backup my phone information before I wipe and install a new ROM
I backup my entire phone with a batch "Backup all user apps + system data"
Wipe and install the new ROM,
I open Titanium Backup (TB) and give it super user rights.
I hit "Updates?" in TB and make sure I am running the latest.
I hit "Problems?" in TB and make sure I am using Busybox 1.60
Hit menu and select batch
Select "Backup all new apps + newer versions of apps", if any.
Select "Restore missing apps with data"
Go over the list and make sure you are restoring only what you want
Hit run batch operation
After it completes, go back into TB and backup restore.
Restore contacts twice
Restore MMS twice
Restore Mail twice
If any of the 3 above do not take, do it again
Restart your phone
Verify mail, MMS, and contacts restored. If not, restore again.
Why Amon RA and not Clockwork recovery?
Clockwork does not wipe the Dalvik properly (if at all). I personally have had nothing but problems with both Clockwork and ROM manager
I have said countless times that if you use either of the above, it is at your own risk. Install Amon RA recovery and I bet any wiping/installing problems will go away.
If you already are using ROM manager, pick the option to install a custom recovery, choose Amon RA 1.8. If that option is greyed out, reinstall the latest Clockwork then install RA.
Note: Do not do a fix permissions with anything unless you need to, you can screw stuff up that way.
Trust me, the new ROM is devoid of problems (I have never tested a ROM this much before releasing it). If you experience any, it is either something you are doing wrong or incomplete wipes thanks to your recovery not doing it's job properly.
What is the proper method to install the ROM and other things (kernels, themes, and mods, etc.)
Lets say you want to add a kernel, a theme, and then a clock modification.
Nandroid first!
ROM: Wipe data, cache, Dalvik (twice), SD:EXT.
Install the ROM.
Let the ROM load up the first time.
Sign into your Google account
Let it sync
When the sync icon goes away, reboot into recovery.
In recovery, wipe the cache and Dalvik (twice)
Install the theme
Reboot
Let it load all the way up again.
Reboot into recovery
In recovery, wipe the cache and Dalvik (twice)
Install the kernel
Reboot
Let it load all the way up again.
Reboot into recovery
Wipe the cache and Dalvik (twice)
Install the clock MOD
Reboot
This is my method and works every time without issue. Obviously, to install another item, you would repeat the process.
Hope this both helps and clarifies.
Which kernels work with this ROM?
Any that are designed for a Sense ROM. This includes:
Netarchy's
Kingclick's
Hero Over's
Ziggy's
HTC's
Which kernel do you recommend to use?
I cannot recommend a kernel for you because each EVO reacts different. The best for my phone can be the worse for yours.
You have to try the different ones available and pick the one that works best for you. What I do is start with their latest and work your way down until you find one that works well. Then stick with it.
This also goes for overclocking, SetCPU settings, etc.
Which themes work with this ROM?
Themes make your phone look nice but can also add problems to an otherwise smooth running ROM. You can use any theme you wish, but Nandroid first and if anything is broken, please do not blame the ROM as it is the theme that added the problem.
This includes my older modded themes and any theme made for 3.29 and 3.30 OTA updates They may work or they may work but break things.
Using my theme avoids this problem. It matches with my ROM perfectly and breaks nothing. Also, my theme is optimized for maximum speed and reduces the overhead of a theme (most themes are not optimized and add a bunch of stuff which increases system overhead, reduces battery life and speed a bit). As an added perk, it is a small download.
Hey, what gives? How come this ROM is saying it is 3.30.651.2 when I thought it was the 3.30.651.3 OTA?
3.30.651.3 is NOT a full ROM, it is a kernel and a few other minor changes. This is why the OTA is 7 MB or less instead of 160+ MB like a ROM usually is.
There is no issue, this is the 3.30.651.3 update. Hence the HTC # 17 kernel. Notice the screenshot in the first post also says that mine has 3.30.651.2? That is because basically this is a bandaid for a recently released OTA. That is why the number went up in the last decimal place. A major update would be like 3.31.XXX.X
sounds good, any screenies?

Well, without recooking it or using a theme (which would take out my wallpapers) no. Let me see if I can come up with a better solution. If not I will re-cook it with a different battery icon.
EDIT: Replacement battery indicator included in the first post for anyone who does not like the circle battery indicator the ROM is cooked with.

Thanks for the compliments and I am glad you like. There is 4 custom wallpapers included, I found them from Desktop Nexus and resized them to fit the Evo screen (960x800) using Paint.net for Windows 7.

That was how this ROM was born, I liked almost all of the ones on the board, but none had the ringtones, notifications, or wallpapers I wanted.
Problem solved! Glad to see it is working for everyone as well. I had no problems with this ROM, think it helps that it is based off the OTA and not a custom ROM.
I will keep this ROM updated. Future plans is to come up with a Sense removed, AOSP element version and add more customizations. I also need to update some of the apps (TB, to name one). I kept some of the stock Sprint stuff in just so no one had problems updating the Voicemail or other Sprint apps left in.
Please rate the thread and let me know if there is anything I should include, change, etc. etc.

Sounds good man, hehe. Please let me know what you think and I hope you like this ROM.
I begin work on the next version of Azrael today, expect version 2.1 out soon, By Wednesday I should have it tested out and ready to go.
Known changes I am going to be making:
-all apps updated
-battery indicator changed to Smooth battery with percentage (far more useful than the one Azrael 2.0 is cooked with and so far the only complain heard about this ROM) *knock on wood*
-Another custom wallpaper or 3 thrown in for good measure
Whatever changes I make, I will of course note them in the release notes.
I also want to get some more theme options available, maybe modify some themes so they do not take out my custom wallpapers. That way you can make this ROM more how you want it to be as well.
I really hope everyone who tries this likes it, I know I am up there with some really good ROM makers here that have far more reputation, but so far everything has been positive and I hope that at least a few people find my work useful.
Lastly, I am glad to offer another ROM option and give back to a community that has given me much.

Radio issue fixed with some other improvements
Can you be a bit more precise in the exact changes?
Is there going to be an easy way to upgrade I hopes? :s
I'm running 1.0 now and absolutely LOVE it. The Dialer issue is a bit obnoxious, but workable. I just hope I don't have to completely re-flash and start over... again.
@librarat - Agreed. I was literally about to flash 1.0 and saw this was available. I'd hate to have to set up everything all over again. A simpler upgrade would be much appreciated.
is this a wipe or non wipe?
Feedback
Has anyone installed yet and tested? Feedback and thoughts? Just trying to get a feel before I put it on the D2. Thanks
According to the X forums, its a flashover, not a full reeflash. A dev response would be appreciated, though.

BACKUP your phone using Bootstrap before installing any ROMs so you can go back to your current setup if anything fails. Notice I said that TWICE!!!
1. Download and place ROM on SD Card
2. Open Bootstrap and tap Bootstrap Recovery
3. Reboot into Recovery
4. Create Backup
5. Mount System
6. Wipe Cache -You may choose not to wipe but MAY have problems
7. Wipe Data - You may choose not to wipe but MAY have problems
8. Mount System and Data - Yes double check that both are MOUNTED (Reads UNMOUNT when MOUNTED)
9. Install Zip from SD Card
10. Choose Zip from SD Card
11. Select your ROM
12. Yes - Install
13. Wipe Cache Again - You may choose not to wipe but MAY have problems
14. Wipe Data Again - You may choose not to wipe but MAY have problems
15. Perform a Factory Reset through Android - Settings > Privacy > Factory Data Reset. Wiping Cache and Data from recovery is not enough.
16. Reboot
17. Enjoy!

+1. Thanks for the assistance post with this. Mike, I would recommend searching the forums for topics such as these as there are multiple topics that are already available with detailed explanations.
I know how to do a full install, i'm running fission 1.0. I thought there might be a way to "flash" the update without having start over. I just dont feel like doing a full wipe again.
When I installed 1.0 and went to my downloads in the market there were only a handful in the list. I had to try to remember all the apps I had downloaded and manually find them and download them. I have just today gotten things back to normal.
I don't want to have to go thru this every couple days after some minor updates. I'm really liking fission 1.0

These are full flashes from what I can see and you will have to do it this way each time. If you download the app through the market, the market will restore your apps after you sign into your gmail.

I understand where he was coming from. It happened to me when I flashed 1.1 coming from what I had. The market only restored about 65% of the apps I had installed. What people need to download is Titanium Backup. Its probably the main app any rooted phone should have installed. You can set a schedule to backup apps and their data daily (or however often you want); when you restore Titanium Backup after flashing a new ROM all you have to do is a "batch" and tell it what you want it to restore and it will restore everything for you. For example; I have HandcentSMS, with custom settings and it restores the app and all its settings.
Its a very helpful app to have

I'm pretty sure on either the Alpha, Beta, or RC1 posts for Fission they said not to use Titanium (or any other backup program) when going from any other ROM to Fission. Would imagine though that going from 1.0 to 1.1 titanium would work just fine though.

Good point. +1 for now.
Hi,
Thanks to thiagodark I've finally rooted my phone (Got it in Feb)
Now for step 2 ... Flashing Roms
Can some one suggest where I start? I see that the [ROM] [Nightly] CyanogenMod 7 (alpha) is pretty popular ... would that be a recommended start?
Two things I look to after flashing a rom would be a) install BLN (so, the rom has to have support for that) and b) should have the power widget in the notification (where I can pull down notification and toggle wifi, sound, bluetooth or whatever). Would also prefer if the a 2.3.4 Rom.
Two other things I'd like to know and would really appreciate help with are:
a) Can I flash a rom and then install any kernel ... are they all compatible?
b) I did a Google Search and found these steps to Flash a Rom:
Flash a Custom ROM
1. Head over to our Nexus S ROMs section, choose a ROM you want and download it and save it to your computer.
2. Plug your phone in and mount the internal storage so we can transfer files to it.
3. Copy the ROM .zip file over to the root of the internal storage (NOT in any folders, just on the internal storage itself).
4. Turn off the phone.
5. Turn the phone on by holding down Volume Up and Power until Fastboot mode comes up.
6. Scroll down and select Recovery and wait for the phone to reboot into recovery mode.
7. Once in recovery mode, scroll to Backup, then select Backup and wait for the phone to backup its current ROM.
8. Once it is done, select Wipe Data
9. Then select Flash zip from SD Card
10. Select choose zip from sd card.
11. Select the ROM’s zip file you loaded onto the internal storage earlier and wait for it to flash. Done!
12. Repeat to load a different ROM.

My question is .... Is step 7 what is called a Nandroid? And do I need to do this every time or do I just need to do it when I think that the current setup is good enough to back up? ... yes, I will do it the first time and then only when I think I like a Rom, but want to try another and may revert.
Thanks a ton

First you will want to do is download ROM manager onto your phone, then flash the latest Recovery from within it.
Then you should do a Nandroid (this is the backup option in recovery... do this while everything is stock) this backsup your whole phone (apart from SD card) so if you screw something up you can restore it! It is real useful, you can nandroid as much as you like, all it is is an image of your phone.
If you are just starting out i would avoid the CM nightlies and find the stable thread which is 7.0.3. That coupled with Netarchys latest kernel (includes BLN) really works wonders.
As far as the actuall flashing, all you need to do is copy both zip files onto your sd card, reboot into the recovery (you can do that from within the ROM manager).
Once in the Recovery, wipe data,cache and dalvik, then select flash from zip and choose the rom.
Wipre cache and dalvik again and then flash the kernel and restart the phone.
Thats it you should be good to go. If you ever get any Force Closes restart into recovery again and run the Fix permissions
Happy flashing
Edit
Compatibility wise, CM 7.0.3 is still android 2.3.3 (will be updated to 2.3.4 with cm7.1) so you need a 2.3.3 kernel. You also need to know if your phone is NS3G or NS4G, they are not compatible
Thanks bringonblink ... guess I'm starting to get an understanding now.
Is this Rom Manager available on the market? ... I'll check
Since rooting, I've used my phone for a day, so I presume you suggest that I wipe data and then do the nandroid in step 7 above, then install the Rom manager and go from there?
I understand your suggestion of the stable CM7. Since there is just one link for the download, no confusions
The Netarchy though is a different story ...
What is the CFS and BFS build stuff.
I'm currently using a Nexus S i9020 with 2.3.4.
So, I use the CM7 + which version of Netarchy?
Thanks once again

Rom Mangager is in the market yes.
No before you wipe , flash, crack, hack ANYTHING else again do a bone stock Nandroid backup and save it on your pc or something. This is because RIGHT NOW your phone is in a working state. THEN wipe cache ,dalvik and data and flash Rom.
7.0.3 is really nice, i had been keepign upwith the nightlies but for me 7.0.3 is the sweet spot... will flash to 7.1 stable when its out though xD.
CFS and BFS are different types of shedulers that run the phone (there is a proper explanation in netarchys thread on the first post i think)
You will want to get CFS as it is mroe stable and generally more user friendly lol.
You'll want CM7.0.3 + CFS Universal 2.3.3 1.3.4
Hey bringonblink ... thank you for your reply
I installed Rom Manager as suggested and then flashed the latest Recovery from within it. Booted into Recovery and did a backup. I then went rebooted, went to my internal storage and found the backup in a clockworkmod folder.
I then went to Rom Manager again and clicked on "Install Rom from SD card". I chose update-cm-7.0.3-NS-signed.zip, ticked Backup, Wipe Data and cache and Wipe Dalvik Cache then pressed ok to reboot.
I then got the big triangle with the ! and droid ... waited, nothing happened so I pressed power and volume up. ... this takes me to the regular stock recovery.
Why not to CWM recovery? Did I do something wrong?
Thanks for any help
Hmm flash the recovery again, but from rom manager choose reboot to recovery, don't actually update in rom manager

For some strange reason, when I go to the market from my PC, I see Gmail, but when I try to install, I get the message:
This item cannot be installed in your device's country!
If I go through the market on my phone, I just cannot find gmail although there is a lot of other apps that include the word gmail.
incidentally ... after flashing CM7, anything I try installing through my PC browser gives the same result as above...
By the way ... any reason why gmail is not included with the rom and with the google addons?
Gmail is in the usual Google Apps package. Maybe try flashing it again.

gmail is not available yet in some countries. what you can do is install marketenabler and fake your provider and install gmail.
on cm7, the google apps are not included as they are propriety apps, they are not open source ( if u understand what i mean)
a few years ago, google tried to sue cyanogen for distributing the google apps through cyanogenmod. they then reached an agreement that cyanogenmod could exist provided no gapps were included within.
Hey, thanks for that explanation ... let me check the work around
Hey! am back!
Rather than go through the the trouble of installing market enabler, I just went about testing a couple of other Roms ... since I also wanted to know in what way other roms were different.
I tried Liquid and Infinity ... both were nice and both had gmail, so was happier with them! Wonder why Google went after the cyanogen guys, but the others include those apps
Anyway ... am now downloading Zulu.
After having installed custom roms such as Cyanogen-mod, Liquid and Infinity, I've realized that there are some must haves ...
a) Gmail & Talk (working over 3G)
b) Sip over 3G
c) Power Controls in notification (sexy as in Liquid)
d) screen lock as in Cyanogen (the modded rotary type with an option to add a 3rd party app)
e) BLN support (have not yet got used to the small lights turning on as in BLN but, guess I'll learn).
Would some one know of a Rom that caters to the above ... I'm experimenting with each, but if someone can help, I'd be able to settle in faster
Cheers!

Hey! am back!
Rather than go through the the trouble of installing market enabler, I just went about testing a couple of other Roms ... since I also wanted to know in what way other roms were different.

They went after Cyanogen because it is the biggest Most ROMS are based off of it too.
BLN is needed in the kernel, not ROM, Netarchys support this.
I think you will like NScollab, runs off of CM7 with some nice tweaks, also includes netarchys kernel as default.
Oh and it already has all gapps included , including gmail
What a coincidence ... was just downloading NScollab ... 28% done
Thanks!
bringonblink ... am liking this NScollab rom
Edit: Never mind ... googled and found ... no use to me
When I go to the market, I get a pop up asking me if I need to install some apps. Any idea what they do and if it is needed?
The apps are:
Google Chrome to Phone ... never heard of this
Google Goggles ... I know this and won't need it.
Kickback
Soundback
Talkback ... these are the 3 I have no idea about!

Alright, so without much help, I've gathered a bit of info on my own on how to do stuff with rooting and custom ROMS and Kernels, but I'm still very new to all of this so I'd like to ask a few questions instead of asking one on each individual thread. (Hate cluttering websites with n00b questions and just have people get upset because to them it's common knowledge). Also, I don't mind if you send links to answer my questions, I've searched around and all I found were UPDATES to each thing or How To install, but never explanations.
First some info about my phone:
ROM: Infused 1.5.3
Kernel: Defuse 1.5
1) What exactly does the Voodoo lagfix do? I know it changes the file system to ext4, but does it have any other scripts?
2) Why do you have to disable the Voodoo lagfix (I haven't, yet)? Or do you only have to disable it when installing a ROM? If you don't, does it really mess up ROM installs?
3) What's the difference between CWM Green and Red? My best guess is Green is using it within the OS (the Rom Manager app) and Red is through Recovery.
4) Do you have to keep the update.zip file? After all the installations are said and done, do you NEED it?
5) What files can I delete? For example the ROM downloads on my phone that Rom Manager fetched? What files shouldn't I touch, ever (except for advanced use)?
6) Will all my apps and data delete each time I install an update to the ROM? (Like if Infused updates to 1.6) I really don't like re-doing the entire first-time setup. Even though Titanium Backup backs apps and data up, it doesn't let me back up stuff like that? (Or even simply the dictionary to my SWYPE keyboard)
7) Every time I install a ROM or Kernel, do I have to delete all the Data and Cache and Delvik Cache? Because deleting Data and Cache obviously removes my apps and settings etc.
8) (Combination of 6+7) So if I wanted to update my ROM from 1.5 to 1.6, I'd still have to delete all that data?
Those are all the questions I have for now, thank you. <3

You are just asking way too many questions, especially for being a n00b
Perhaps you will have better luck by using the "search" feature here in the forums.....
When I was a N00b I was lucky to get even ONE of my questions answered!
I don't know about infused 1.6, was under the impression that it'd be gb, might want to wipe data with that one
no need to clear data if you upgrade to a custom rom from stock atm but maybe in the future it'll be a good idea. upgrading fro different versions of the same rom without wiping data as long as the firmware veraion is the same should be ok. if the firmware is updated it is questionable, Samsung roms change odd things and upgrading can cause force closes if data is not wiped. id imagine Samsung updates have scripts to correct the issues I the old data causes.
switching from one custom rom to another it might be a good idea to clear data.
use titanium backup and backup apps, you can backup app and system data but never restore system data to a new firmware version. app data is usually ok but not recommended. clearing cache is always ok, clearing dalvik cache is always recommended for any flash you do.
voodoo should only be disabled before returning to stock, I used to have to odin flash twice on my captivate sometimes to restore the phone to stock if I switched from a jfs enabled ulf kernel to a voodoo kernel if I forgot to disable lagfix. right now there are only voodoo kernels, there isn't too much reason to confuse the community with different types of lagfixes so don't think too much about disabling lagfix till there are alternatives to voodoo.
voodoo converts the file system to ext4 which is the google standard. Samsung uses a weird spinoff of fat32 that they branded rfs and they use on there tvs and other devices. rfs can slow the device down in theory and it certainly benchmarks lower.
I'm hoping to see a nilfs2 conversion on an aosp cm7 kernel eventually. nilfs2 is designed for flash memory and eliminates a lot of the time used to overwrite and move files. I saw quadrant scores on the nexus s at around 3500 with nilfs2 stagefright settings changed and some overclock.

I think lagfix might do some other filesystem tuning (journaling settings and such) that differ from default, but not sure.
You need to disable Lagfix when moving to any ROM/kernel that does not support ext4, as the kernel won't recognize the filesystem. Right now this means the stock kernel - all alternate kernels out there have ext4 support.
As I understand it, green CWM doesn't understand ext4. Red does. I'm not entirely sure on this one though.
You don't need to keep the update.zip unless you want to re-apply it. I keep a copy of everything I currently have flashed, and a copy of whatever I was last running stable, in case I have a weird problem "on the go"
Apps and data don't automatically delete when installing a ROM, but using CWM's "wipe data" function is always recommended when changing to a new ROM. In general:
1) If changing only a kernel, no need to wipe anything
2) If applying an update to a newer version of a ROM you're already running, usually no need to wipe unless the ROM author says that release needs a wipe. However, you WILL almost surely have to wipe before the next Infused, as the next Infused version will likely be Gingerbread.
3) If changing to a different ROM, you should wipe
Wiping Dalvik cache occasionally is a good idea, and won't cause your apps to lose settings.

That's why I made a thread, because the "search" feature didn't do much help, nobody directly asked these questions that I saw (at least using search and scouting out the comments).
I have faith in people, there's a lot who are willing to help out someone in search of knowledge. ^_^

Notes:
IMPORTANT: Although all of my scripts check for and handle appropriatly a2sd and other apps2sd utilities it is highly recomended that you move your apps back to the /data/app folder and remove or disable any a2sd utilities prior to flashing this ROM, once flashed you can reset all of your a2sd settings accordingly. It is also recomend that you leave your cache and dalvik cache alone as moving these can cause backup and restore to fail if there is insuffiecient space.
Enjoy, this is fast stable and very clean, I have even included some of my favorite backgrounds which can be found under "Menu - More - Wallpaper". And as always I am the only DEV (To my knowledge) that includes an antivirus app in my ROM and handles backups and restores of all user level apps (/data/app and /data/app-private) during the flash sequence. No matter what style or flavor of rom you currently have there is no need to wipe, my updater-script handles everything for you. I do still recomend a full nand backup first just for safety sake.
Thanks:
evanbigfan - for pointing out a flaw in my scripts
J074 - for all the testing (and the humor) LOL
existz - for the kernel
google - for android
cyanogenmod - for the stable base
and all of the devs that provided help with the backup and restore issues.

Nice. Really good rom. Thanks.
Thanks for your work...I tried it, but had to nand back. I followed instructions & everything went great until I tried to use Titantium Backup to add back a few apps it failed to install ...then it started restarting.
The apps were fancy Widgets & pro Widgets.
Gonna reflash when I stop for the night.
Thanks for all you do though....I'm still a rookie this.

without restoring the apps from titanium backup did all your other apps work as expected? when you are restoring your apps from TB are you choosing data as well? if your previous ROM was a sense rom this could be the cause of the problem. try restoring without data and then setup the apps again from scratch. let me know if that helps.
Looking good.

Previous rom was Ninja (aosp) .
It auto installed all but 6 previously installed apps...I tried twice today.
I think my problem lies with a auto update of superuser. It auto updated twice...I skipped all setup accounts until dead last in case something was triggering it...no dice, it still did it. Tried clearing data on superuser, but it was greyed-out because there wasn't any data as of yet.
Also, I always restore apps...never data.
I dunno what I'm doing wrong...never had an issue like this.
Maybe superuser updating?
Edit: forgot to mention that on the second time round....I also tried to use the market to re-install my missing apps...and the same thing happened (phone restarts)
I'm gonna try it again and reinstall nothing & I'll report back

AHA!! A brand-new ROM - lots of questions!!
As a confirmed "flash-junkie" on my older Aria, I now have a 2-month old Inspire, and have already tried SO MANY ROMS I have lost count I really need to stop having it "out of commission" all the time because I'm trying something new!!! So -- I am looking for a Gingerbread ROM - definitely "no-sense" or very minimal Sense! (I use 3rd party apps for almost everything that Sense does and it takes so much space and time to load and run it all, or to delete so much every time I update a Sense ROM...
I have tons!!! of apps, and have been using CM7 nightlies - hoping for just the "right one" but I have not been completely satisfied for one reason or another... (Wi-Fi, GPS, ADW launcher so slow, lack of A2sd/EXT4 support, etc...)
What I want: I want to keep my most-used apps "internal" to load faster, and most of my "other" stuff, such as games, "testing" apps, reference library apps, etc. on a separate partition. I would prefer S2E/Link2SD type EXT-4 for the speed and "wipability..." I have used the S2E app, but don't like to move everything, I have tried Link2SD without much success, so I have been pretty much using standard A2SD, which is a pain...
So... what options does your ROM have for something like that? And... what setup do you recommend prior to flashing?? (i.e. pre-set EXT4 secondary partition?)
And... Is data/GPS/Wi-Fi etc. pretty stable without all the "fixes" to apply each update? I'm getting tired of editing build.prop, gps.conf, kernel flashing, etc. on this phone - I'd like to leave all that to my old phone and have my Inspire nice and set for pretty much my daily user -- if an OCD flash junkie can actually do that, anyhow - he he he
OK - I realize this was a very long post, but if you don't think your new ROM is my best choice, I'm open to other ideas from anyone!!!
Thanks!

I'm trying to remember what ver of SU is in the ROM i think it should be 3.0.2 (it was current as of the time i built the rom) I'm not convinced that that could be the issue. I dont use titanium backup as i just start from scratch, i dont much care about data just the apps so i havent tested anything with titanium backup. I'm curious what 6 apps don't install? is it the same 6 everytime? anything special about them? was your previous ROM an EXT3 or EXT4 ROM? are you using any apps2sd utils or have your sdcard partitioned? again thats one i don't use so havent tested for. (sorry if i tested for every possible scenario I'd never get anything done).
I'll try TB tonight and see what happens.

Well I'm probably the worst Flash junkie around I frequently run with broken ROMS just trying to test and build. since I only have one phone that becomes a real pain at times.
so to try to answer your questions. I don't use any apps2sd utils nor do i partion my sdcard nor move any apps to the sdcard and with this rom having on average around 400mb free I havent had much of a need to do so. that being said it does support extended partitions on the sdcard (up to 512mb) you can use any of the third party apps2sd utils just fine as well.
Data/GPS/WiFi including WiFi hotspot and tethering all work flawlessly in my opinion. stability has always been one of my biggest concerns that's why I started building ROMs so I could be the one in control of any stability issues that arose. there should be absolutly no need to edit the build.prop for anything that I'm aware of it is tweaked to provide the best results for the ROM.
Recomendations for prior to flashing. NAND NAND NAND Backups are your friend...
My updater-script is unique in that I am to my knowledge the only one who handles app backups and restores as well as cleanup and wiping through the script so in all reality you can download my ROM make a backup of your current ROM and then Flash mine with no concern of what style of ROM you came from.
I hope that helps answer some of your questions. in regards to whether or not i think this is the right one for you? that is a determination that only you can make. personally this has been my daily driver for nearly a week without issues and im not one for AOSP roms per say..
anyone having this problem?
when i try to install apps i have purchased, i try to install them after i downloaded them but when it trys to install my phone fast reboots, ig u could say lol, is this happening to anyone else.. cause i cant install any apps on my phone
Tried again ....this time I did not try to reinstall any apps via TIB...used market. Data shut off and phone rebooted with ANY app from the market.
It would download BUT then reboot before it finished installing.
Even tried apps at random...lol
Just to be sure it wasn't particular apps.
Tried clearing market data and also reformatted SD card ext4.
Lead me in the right direction if you can ...I'd really like to get this one running. I'm sure you put alot of time in on it & I think its gonna be a good one.

i have yyet to have any issues installing apps from the market yet others have had reboot issues when trying to restore from titanium backup. im not sure why this happens.
what rom did you come from? was it ext3 or ext4? sense or AOSP? and what apps are you trying to install, directly from market or from apk's downloaded to your sdcard? if previously downloaded can you adb them to your data/app folder?
both, and a miui rom the the one previous to the latest
