can someone tell me how to get rid of the venilla lock screen and go back to the HTC one please i like having my alarm and i dont wanna loose the weather part of the HTC clock... otherwise this thing is a pretty awsome ROM i have been going strong all day i doubt its overclocked but i left for work at 9 cst and its still got about 50% battery and i have been playin with this thing all day at work.
I recently upgraded to the sprint 2.1 RUU (ver 5, not ver 6), & im rooted, & have a custom recovery image. Ive done a nandroid backup, & a Titanium Backup, as well as syncing up w/ google/gmail, & also did a backup w/ "Lookout" <-- antivirus app.
I have cleaned my phone from everything I dont want or need, like NFL, NASCAR, teeter, nav panal, stock, etc, using "root explorer" to do so.
I have my phone like I like it, runs smooth, no issues, nada,,, so my ? is;
Should I upgrade to Fresh Hero 233, whats the pros & cons, & if i do update, do i go back & flash this http://www.4shared.com/file/FJKgIYTJ/Fresh_vUV_768_M.html to my phone after i update to 2.3.3 or what, how does that work.
And once ive installed the necessary files, how do i restore my apps/data,,, do i do a nandroid restore, or do i just restore w/ titanium backup.
sorry for sounding stupid, but whats the step by step process on installing fresh 2.3.3 & http://www.4shared.com/file/FJKgIYTJ/Fresh_vUV_768_M.html <-- if its needed, & then restoring my apps/data/contacts
i mean, i know how to install 233, just need the steps for how each install should be done, & if its necessary to install http://www.4shared.com/file/FJKgIYTJ/Fresh_vUV_768_M.html & then the steps to restore my phone, b/c i dont want to install any of the 2.1 stuff Titanium backup backed up if you follow.
also, if i go to 2.3.3, do i need to root my phone again?

Flashed this ROM an hr or so ago. Loving this ROM so far. I didn't wipe by the way, I just flashed over 2.0d. It's been working nice and smooth for me.
Whats wrong with my cam? I doesn't show anything no matter what camera app I use. And also my phone shuts off 5 to 6 times a day and its not even dead. Is anyone else having these problems with this rom.
Also I had fresh 1.1 and went to 2.3.3 Is there anything else I need to do besides a nandroid backup and a data wipe/restore?

not that I have seen, I've been running this for about 2 weeks now
it did override custom picture id's with the facebook pics though
Well should i remove everything from my SDcard and do a wipe and cache wipe, because it finds the pictures but it doesn't update them. Do you have ur contacts synced with google?

I am synced with google, you could try wiping & reflashing I suppose, not sure if that would help or not, I'm still a noob with this stuff

ok... first of all, if you have your phone the way you want it... then really there's no reason to flash Fresh 2.3.3.. Fresh 2.3.3 does add friendstream (although I find it pointless). Fresh 2.3.3 does allow you to change the lock screen to the standard vanilla one that every other android phone has.. but you have to not use the HTC clock and use the vanilla clock for alarms.. the 768 kernel you linked to isn't needed.. unless you plan on overclocking your phone (eats up battery faster and causes heat.)
as far as the steps.. you mentioned titanium backup.. you can pick and choose what to restore and what not to restore with titanium backup.. so just restore the apps you want..
what I do is, boot to recovery, make a nandroid backup. wipe data, wipe davlik and then flash the rom. once signed in, get titanium from the market and restore. All google contacts will download from google once you log in the first time.
if you then decide that Fresh isn't for you... boot into recovery and restore that nandroid backup you made right before flashing Fresh.. that will take you right back to the exact phone you had when the backup was made.

has anyone else had a problem with the phone ringing after you hang up the phone call and it just keeps ringing and ringing its only happened once so far so i figure it has to do with the speed at which i answered the call right before it had a chance to ring
anyone?

no idea. I haven't heard of anyone having camera issues with 2.3.3. for me in Fresh 2.3.3 the default camera app works great. since you also have the phone shutting down on it's own, I would wipe and reflash. then make sure the camera works before adding any apps. once that is working, then add your apps one at a time and see if one of them breaks it again or causes the phone to shut down.

if you plan on using apps2sd, then create an ext2 partition, then convert it to ext3.. that enables journaling

Anyone noticing any battery issues? Battery does seem to impressive. With moderate usage it drops down like 12% in 30 mins. I only been running the ROM for under 2 days tho, give it more time?

28+ hours on mine.. I would fully charge the battery.. boot into recovery, wipe battery stats and then let it run until dead. that might help a bit.

OK, thanks Mystic... luckily I just charged my battery until full. Just wiped battery stats and will wait, I'll let you know how it turns out.
So I did what you said and the cam worked at first but then it stopped and i restarted it and then It worked. But im still having the problem that imy phone likes to turn off. It does it when the phone is on standby and then i go to use it and it just randomly reboots. I dont know what to do. I really like this rom but I cant stand it turning off when I go to use my phone. I dont know why im the only one having this problem.
Also should I erase everything off of my sd card. Im just wondering if anything on there could be causing this?
Thanks

Ok followed what u said and still have some pretty weak battery compared to before. I performed the steps and rebooted around 2:30p yesterday, with mild to heavy usage it finally died around 12:30a. So that's like 10hrs which isn't the worse. But I still want a little more out the battery
It's not the ROM, Facebook sync for HTC Sense is broken at the moment. Everyone who's flashed a new sense-based ROM since yesterday is having the same problem. I've tried a couple of different ones, same result with each.
