Hmm, Missed the part in the instructions where you wipe data/cache. If coming from pretty much anything OTHER than Focused.. you NEED to wipe data/cache, or it will likely send you into boot loop. :S

Bootloops are farily easy to come out of.... but YES -- CLEAR DATA AND CACHE before loading any ROM --- I have made this mistake in my day a few times and almost puked I got so scared.
Easy fix: Battery pull - Clear data and cache and reboot.
Battery life is MUCH better since I did SBF/unroot -reroot - loaded rom - loaded theme.... Before battery with rubiX only last 5 hours... so far this AM looks good.
Quite the process however to improve battery... LOVE rubix though (and black juice)

Okay so after I backup what I have now I wipe data/cache and then I can install the zip. A few more questions
- He said put the .zip on the root of the SDcard. I was under the impression that I just downloaded the .zip file and threw it on the phone with USB Mass Storage. Can someone clear this up?
- Will all the Blur apps removed from me phone be permanently removed? Or if my backup has all Blur functionality when I restore to backup will it have all of the Blur stuff back?
- And would wiping data/cache clear something like my save file for Gameboid? I'm currently involved in some Pokemon ass kicking that I'd rather not restart.
- I found the .apk file for Bootstrap Recovery, but I haven't played with .apk's since I first got my phone months ago. Do I just drag them onto the phone via usb mass storage and then it will prompt me to install on the phone?
Thanks a bunch guys

-- Root of SD just means dont put it in a folder... just make sure it is a zip file.
-- Blur stuff will be removed unless you run a recovery and go back to blur.
-- yes it will erase pokemon

Nooooo not my Pokemon :icon_evil: is there any way I can keep that?
EDIT: Perhaps I could locate the file on my computer and make a copy of it for my computer and once I update the rom I could transfer the copy on my computer back into the GameBoid folder?

Many thanks for the edit, Sephtin. I'm not surprised I missed something at 2 am!
You could try downloading and using Titanium Backup, which will back up your apps and their data/saved information, though I would caution you against restoring all of your apps and data via this app when flashing to a new ROM.

I've read all 80 some pages but don't remember seeing any issues with the custom battery manager. I can select custom but when I try to edit it it just sends me back to the main settings screen. Any ideas?

So I just switched from ApeX to RubiX and I really like this ROM. Seems to be a little snappier, and I love the 10% battery increments.
There's only two problems I've noticed with this ROM:
1) The multitouch keyboard is not included, so it doesn't have the speech to text option for texting, Gtalk, etc.
2) I've already read some others having this problem with Gmail not syncing properly. I know people are saying this is a Google/Gmail/Android issue, but I never had this problem with the stock Froyo build or the ApeX ROM.
Great job on the ROM, hopefully these things can be addressed in the next update.

Not sure about the gmail sync, cause mine works fine.
But for the keyboard, have you ever tried swype? Personally my favorite and it has the speech feature.

Yes, I've tried Swype but since I type in both English & Spanish it doesn't work well for me.

Ah.....gotchya.
Here's the way I've always done it:
1. Go into Clock > Alarm > Settings and uncheck Alarm In Silent Mode
2. Put your phone in Silent
Now when you use the camera you won't hear the shutter sound because the shutter sound is considered an "alarm sound".
IIRC the app "Root Tools" by jrummy has an option to disable the camera shutter sound....
