Root [ROM][UPDATE: 04/05/2012][bROM v1.2]

re: desktop vs drawer
K, thanks, I'll try it on the desktop for a while and see how it goes.
I'm also a minimalist like you are, but I find it more functional for me to have them on the desktop rather than an alphabatized list of apps. In the app drawer, can I have folders so I can store apps in them? That would actually possibly be more beneficial to what I want than having the desktops filled with apps. I'd like to create little folders like "Media" for Youtube, Winamp, etc, Internet for the browsers and whatnot, etc.

re; Titanium Backup
Yeah, I have heard a lot of good stuff about it whilst searching for Android info. I wish the manual that came with the phone was useful. I know how to plug the phone in, but I've never messed with Android before, so even though it's easy to use, the "deeper" or less-obvious functions are still lost on me. For instance, I didn't know that long-pressing the "home" key brought up a list of recent apps (like alt-tab on a computer) until i stumbled on that on a Google Play app review, haha.

I think TB probably wouldn't work in this situation, since I didn't actually backup the apps first, haha, but I'll look into it for the future. Anyway, seems I just needed to be patient; the Online version of the Google Play store just had to catch up with the changes I'd made. Now I requested to install several of the apps using the online store, and they're all already on the phone now.

Thanks again!
 
So b_ROM has been working pretty well for me since early this month, albeit somewhat less stable and smooth.

Last night, I went to use the Android when it started to act weird. I was trying to run Winamp, but touching the icon did nothing. I decided to add a new shortcut to the desktop to see if that would help, and in the midst of trying to add it, the phone rebooted, showing the big red M. It then got back to the desktop, and I clicked Winamp, it opened, and I was in the process of looking for the music I wanted to play, reboot again. This happened several times, only allowing me about a minute to use it before it restarts again.

I have the battery out of it for now, but I have no clue how to proceed. I'm not sure whether this is relevant, but I've noticed in the process of using it, apps disappear, they're no longer installed. I reinstall them and keep using it, and then another app disappears.
