If you can still do vol+ and power when you start your phone and get to the same recovery, then you are fine. I would uninstall that program after making sure you can do that.

It would have to be edited since it changed the lock screen, but yes it can be done. How to do it? You will need to ask a dev that.
i'm not 100% sure since it didn't happen right away, but shortly (a day or so) after flashing sens-able and immediately after, the transparent lockscreen the bar at the bottom of the home screen went back to the original sense arc (^Phone+).
Kinda lame, but I'm probably going to try out a few more roms before I get in a tizzy about this one.
If anyone has any ideas about why this happened or a fix, please share!

As every dev and everyone always says, do a NAND backup before applying any things like this. doing this will make sure you dont have to worry about what you are going through.
which transparent lockscreen you talking about? there are a few. if its the one the professional did, he did create one just for sense, can be found here:

Does anyone else have a problem creating/updating Google contacts with this ROM? This might exist in other 2.1 ROMs, I don't know. If I try to change a contact's info or add a new one, 90% of the time it doesn't work. It will appear to update, but when I close the People list and go back, my changes are reverted.
Any ideas?

When you try to edit contacts, does it ask you which one you want to update, and show you 2 of them? I know there wasnt 2 before. What I would do is go in gmail and merge the 2 and since doing this, just edit contacts from gmail. Only done this for current contacts. New contacts dont have issues. And this doesnt always happen for me either. Or I just dont remember each time Ive edited, lol

I don't get two identical contacts showing and have to pick one, but it does show the "Which contact would you like to edit" screen but there's only one listed. This only happens for contacts that are linked with Facebook/Flickr. Although, there are some that are not linked at all and only have a Google profile but the changes I make still do not persist. I can deal with this for the time being as long as it's fixed eventually.

Sense does this by default.

try this. go to sync settings and uncheck sync contacts and then back out and then go back to it and re-check it. and then do *228 and call and option 2. this helped for my issues with gmail not syncing with emails. hope this works for your issue with contacts.
I learned a long time ago to do the NAND and yes I did one, but I'm not so concerned about how to go back as I am with the CAUSE of the issue and how to correct it or prevent it from happening again.
And yes, it was the Professional's.
I don't have time to read all through the forum fight now (at work) but I'm hoping for some help.

Did you click on the link I posted? That gives you a direct link to the correct lock screen for Sense-able.
Search takes just as long as posting. Clicking on a link that someone posted trying to help you and hitting the thanks button takes a few seconds.

Thanks, but that didn't work. I can edit the contacts at gmail.com and see them update on my phone, if that helps.
Since that is the lockscreen I installed, and I haven't seen anyone having the same problem, nor have I heard anything that helps me solve the problem, I haven't made any progress towards my original goal.
I'll try posting over there (the lockscreen thread).
Thanks for trying, but no help yet.
EDIT:
Found it on that thread, there is a fix. I wasn't the only one experiencing that issue.
Thanks droidkevlar.

So just to clarify, you installed the one that was meant just for the Sense-able ROM, correct? Cuz there is 2 he posted on that thread. Just trying to help.
Maybe not...
Looks like I did the original one that was fixed later in the thread, and both Sense and Sense-able versions were posted further down. I'll re-try when I get home from work (at 8am

Welcome and thanks for the thanks. Enjoy after you get off of work.

I have some more info on this issue. I created a contact this time without selecting a group. I only entered a first and last name and saved it. A few minutes later, it appeared on gmail.com and was still in my phone contacts list. I opened the contact and saw that it showed "System Group: My Contacts" in the Group box. I clicked on that and it listed all my groups ("System Group: My Contacts" was not in this list). None of the groups were checked. I pressed back and the text in the Group box changed to "None". I then saved the contact and a few minutes later it disappeared from my phone and from gmail.com.
So it appears that contacts are not being added to "System Group: My Contacts" if you select a group. This does not happen with contacts created before installing the 2.1 ROM. So if I change the groups for a contact that was created on 1.5, they are not deleted, but their information seemed to not update 90% of the time. Contacts created after installing 2.1 are deleted if I change their group.
This is my first custom rom, and I must say, I am very impressed! I only have a few questions. 
First, I've noticed that when I try to edit a contact, it causes an fc. If it makes any difference, all the contacts are "phone only"
Also, I've seen mentioned that someone made a patch to replace the stock dialer with Dialerone. Would I be able to get this by just flashing the patch? The instructions were confusing.
In addition, I cannot view pictures in the Gmail app. When I click "View Pictures," the bar goes away but the pictures remain as question marks.
Once again, these are very minor issues, but any help would be appreciated.
Once again, good work on the rom.

gmail bug is a known issue, as far as the contacts fc, did you reboot the phone after flashing? often times a reboot will clear any glitches after flash.
No I did not. I'll just deal with it until the next Sense-able version is released. I just have to make sure I put the contact in right the first time.
I just tried editing a few contacts at random, and it only fc's when I'm editing one contact in particular. Interesting...
