OK, here is an interesting thing that y phone is doing. When I reboot the phone, half of my icons are no longer on the home screen. No matter how many times I put them back, some always disappear. The weird thing is that the apps that disappear are random. Its not all stock apps or ones I have downloaded, its a mix of the two. Any ideas oh great and magical tapatalk ball?

Mine is doing that too. Deluxe Moon and Power Amp. Also when I do a cwm backup or restore I lose over half of my apps on first restart. All I do is reboot one more time and they are back. Not sure about the icons.

After I install CTMod 3.5 and run adb and do the ssm configuration, do I need to reinstall CTMod 3.5 again? - That's what I've been doing, but I'm not sure if it's needed. This is what I've been doing as far as the Full Install goes from scratch, with no backups, and rebooting of course in the right places:
1-Installed SPHM820_EE14_FACTORY_VERSION
2-Wiped/Formatted SDCard of all partitions and put it back to normal
3-Installed SPHM820_EJ06-CWM5-Rooted-rfsCache
4-Installed SPH-M820-CWM-5027-UPDT-FIXED2A
5-Partitioned SDCard to 2048 EXT/0 Swap
6-Updated PRL
7-Installed CTMod3.5
8-Ran ADB/SSM, configured to 2048 EXT, 2048 Swap, the rest Fat32
9-Installed SD2EXT4.zip
10-Installed CTMod3.5
11-Installed CT3.5Fix.zip
After doing this, this is the output I'm getting from checking ADB:

Sorry if this is too much, wasnt sure if you would need to see this all or not.
Going back to my main question,
With the steps I listed above, is this the way I should be doing things?
~thanks guys.

yes, its best to install CTMod after you already set up your partitions.
your doing some stuff thats unnecessary tho bro.
if you've partitioned your sdcard for SSM once it stays that way forever, unless you manually delete or change them. so you don't need to do that every time you flash something.
using odin isn't necessary for as long as you already have CWM and your on the baseband you want. If you do use odin tho you only need to use EJ06. using EE14 and then doing EJ06 doesn't do anything for you other then adding a extra 10 minutes cause each version completely overwrites each other.
you also don't need to use SD2EXT4.zip or format, do any wipes cause the CTMod installation formats system, cache, data and both sd partitions to EXT4.
If you already got your Baseband, PRL, partitions set how you want all you need to do is:
Install CTMod
reboot to recovery
Install the Fix
and your good

Nice work as always!!!!!!
Couple things.
1. I don't have flashlight? Its just not there at all. Probably a bad download or bad flash?? I guess I will just use my flashlight app for now and redo the zip/flash later.
2. This overclock is just not working for me at all. Maybe idk what I'm doing but if I select anything over 800 the phone freezes and gets stuck and I'm forced to reboot.
3. After flashing 3.5 both our cats got fleas and my car started running like shit. Do you have a zip fix for that?
Thanks!

Huh, now that you mentioned it I don't have flashlight either. Didn't really bother to check the last time I flashed, but sure enough, it's not there. Oh well I'll get it back sooner or later.
Yep that worked, thanks.

Yep, worked for me too. Nobody had mentioned it yet so I thought it was just me.
BTW your flashlight widget just eliminated one of my favorite.most used apps of all time
thanks blood!!!! I've been rocking every ctmod since 2.2 and I love them all!!!

Hi, it's been a while, been learning a lot behind the scenes so that way I don't bother you guys with too many questions 
So yeah, after installing 3.5:
Problem 1: Using the larger CT3.5Fix.zip (not in OP) things are much smoother than before, but eventually I still have browser lag (about 30 mins of use), which drains my battery, clearing the app cache would make it go back to normal with slight glitching so then I would just do a restart which then made it smooth again. Then of course this repeats.
Problem 2: In general my battery is just draining like a mofo, yesterday I had it sitting on the table all day (locked black screen), went to 30% no calls no nothing. I have no idea what is causing that. I am going to try to odin back to stock to see if my battery is just starting to crap out on me.
Problem 3: Not sure if it's coincidence but it seems that my service has gotten crappier, 3g just isn't as fast, reception keeps jumping around while I'm using it. (Maybe just coincidence after install since I reached the 35 mark on shrinkage so perhaps they are giving me crappier service now)
So as far as my configuration goes:
16gb class 10 SD Card; ADBed my sdcard to have two partitions (2 x 2048mb; rest fat) as instructed on the KK thread, used Kouma's script to format both to ext4, installed ctmod 3.5 with SSM enabled. Then apkinstaller.zipped swype back. I never overclocked the cpu either. NO themes have been installed.
P.S. I read somewhere in the forums that the FA19 update removed CIQ from the prevail, is this true???

OK scratching my head over here. But last night I noticed I can't use any old backups. I restore and reboot and it hangs on the kouma 2.4 bootani and stays there forever. Is the 2.4 kernel interfering with the pre 3.5 versions? None of my 3.3 or even the two point versions will restore.

Try restoring just the sd-ext from the CWM backup to get you apps back. Go in to CWM/backup and restore/advanced restore then select your backup then choose Restore sd-ext.

Not my apps, the entire thing. What I'm saying is if I want to go back and run 3.3 that I had last month it wont work. It seems that I'm stuck using 3.5 now? I know it sounds.crazy but I commonly play with my old backups. I got 3.3 backups in blue, red, orange, pink, etc LOL. I still love a certain 2.4 backup image of mine. Idk why but that image rocks. Whenever I screw shit up and get stuck on the go and I can't play around I flash back to that 2.4 until I can get home and play around and fix stuff. Hell I still got my original 2.2 saved LOL. I got like 4gigs on my SD card of backups LOL. You never can be to safe. I like the colors, its nice to show off the phone and flash each one for someone.e to show them all this phone can do. Haha they just sit back with a wtf look as I bounce in and out of cwm .
But yeah I can't use any of then now???

Try doing a factory wipe then flashing 3.4. Your backups should work after you do that.

I was thinking something like that, I figured I would have to flash something with the older kernel in order for the older backups to work.
Or delete my 4gigs of backups and start a new collection
the good news is after my wife divorces me for paying no attention to her and being a hermit on my phone she might want the house and car.... but I get to keep the prevail

OMG, don't I know the feeling when it comes to the wife. Heh, the only reason I'm on here right now is because she is taking a nap.
