Why? The old instructions still work and there's nothing wrong with them.

Download Titanium Backup from the market, click on Problems. Say yes to download Busybox. Once it's done, search Busybox in root explorer, copy that file that it finds for you, paste it in system/bin
Ok, I must be on crack then or does the very first post in this thread only say...
on more time Droidforums would like to thank MYDROIDWORLD for allowing us the info..we couldnt be more excitied ..............
And, I'm off to bed too. Below is a reminder to those who don't want to read 1,100 posts to catch up:
[FONT="]Things to remember with this release:[/FONT][FONT="]
You must have a rooted Droid to use this ROM[/FONT]
[FONT="]
The initial install takes a few minutes, be patient, it will boot up. (Mine was like 4 mins.)
Wifi and 3G now work...link: Froyo Overclocked Kernels includes *wifi* fix
The first time you run this update.zip it will take several minutes to install.
Follow the instructions like this: 1. Start with initial download; 2. Install the Flash .apk on your SD; 3. Install the P3Droid OC Kernal for WIFI and 3G and you’ll be all set.
Those who are already rooted and saying "hey I lost SU", go to step #3 I described above.
I had to run "Flash Alternate Recovery" twice before I could go back to SPRecovery from ROM Manager
For those having problems with Titanium Backup. Install the newest version of Busybox, and you should be good to go
If you have a fresh install and think your phone is really lagging badly, hang in there, it’s doing the sync of apps and contacts. Give it like 20 minutes and even at 800 mhz you will be amazed how snappy it becomes.
Apps2sd and Google maps is apparently hit or miss[/FONT][FONT="] [/FONT]

Here you guys go for those who can't find it.
i have the same problem. all i did is flash the version earlier than the newest one (1.8.1.3) and it works great.
The instructions were deleted from the first post and dropped down to page 107 or so from some reason. See my above post.
No offense, but this ROM puts BB 1.1 to shame.
how much faster does it eat the battery? I did notice it seems to be going down pretty quickly, but I've only had it installed for a few hours.
I would respectfully disagree. You simply can not compare a 2.1 rom with a 2.2 rom. BB is rock solid and one of the best 2.1 roms out there...Just sayin...
Wifi Tethering
If someone wants to enable Wifi tethering, then just download the latest build from this page and install it. Its working on mine.

Thanks to everyone who made today's release possible!

Haha. What a funny comment.
#1) Why would I take offense to this?
#2) If destroying my battery and running 10-15 degrees hotter while doing the same tasks is "putting it to shame," then sure, it puts it to shame.
For the poster asking about battery life - I killed my battery in about 6 hours doing moderate-to-heavy usage (i.e., mostly web browsing). My battery died noticeably quicker than with BB 1.1.
