If you factory reset after installing, you will lose cron.
Thanks Jboxen! I didn't realize this.
For those wondering what cron is, its used to schedule time based tasks. ZombieStomped uses it to purge vm caches twice per day, which is smart.
I've created the attached zip to be used for anyone who factory resets after installing ZombieStomped. In fact, I would suggest a factory reset after installing ZombieStomped to prevent any problems (such as my sync problem). Then, this zip will reinstall cron for you and set the correct permissions.
1) Put the zip on your sdcard.
2) Use either Droid X Bootstrapper with USB Debugging turned off, or Droid 2 Bootstrapper to get into recovery.
3) Install the zip.
4) Reboot phone, go into terminal emulator and type "pgrep crond". This isn't a necessary step but is only done to verify that cron is running. If it is, you should get a number (PID) back, mine was 1891.
That's it, you're done.
