Been there done that!! Many times

Like you said, not a big deal, just time consuming
Flashing noob rom is the easiest thing in the world to do though!! Just read the op

Pretty much a one click deal.

Flash right from stock recovery, and you get rooted, cwm recovery, 1.8 Ghz OC Kernel!! All in one shot

Plus the themers have all mostly up-dated their stuff to work on it.
EDIT: I download and transfer rom's and themes with my laptop, just plug my phone in and just drag and drop the files I want to my sd-card that way. Un plug, start flashing!!!
