Did you flash gapps and fallow all the steps gapps gives you and sign in with you're account and select sync backups? Make sure your connected the entire time it is showing the sync emblem.

I can no longer shut off my phone while plugged in. Selecting power off just reboots it.

Were you coming from the stock ROM? If so you must do all these things:
1.wipe cache partition.
2.wipe dalvik cache(advanced section)
3.wipe data/factory reset.Now that your rooted YOU MUST NEVER USE THE FACTORY RESET IN THE PRIVACY MENU ON THE PHONE
4.format boot,system,data,and cache
5.go to install zip from sd card
6.go to select zip from sd card,chose the ROM zip first. It will go thru the install procedure. When done go back to step 6. and select the gapps zip.
When all this is done select reboot system now.
It will take 5-10min. for the initial reboot. You will be asked to sign in,skip this. Then go to your Market app and sing in from there.

With the cm7 ROM's, you can not charge the phone when it's off. I turn off the ringer when I'm charging if I don't want to be disturbed.

Sekky,
As for the 3g, the only thing I could say is make sure you've rebooted a few times and try to get in an area that you know has 3g service. Someone smarter than me may have better ideas.
Yes, the backup will save your contacts and stuff. It preserves the phone in the state that it's in at that precise moment in time. If you have a google account, when you flash a new ROM and flash gapps, it will restore your contacts. (not the messages tho).

Yogi,
Thanks for your help, the reason my contacts weren't backed up was because I didn't sync them for some reason or another. Now I just have to decide if its worth it to flash back to my stock nandroid backup, sync the contacts, backup the messages and flash BACKside again. Anything I should know with restoring a cwmod nandroid backup?

ive got a quick question, concerning titanium backup (free)
when you create a "update.zip" does that work more or less like installing gapps.zip.
like is creating a "update.zip" file via titanium backup basically packing all of your apps into a .zip file, and then you can install from sd(or apply update.zip from sd), and it will unpack it and batch install all your apps?
im just wondering, cause if so, then wouldnt this be faster to do instead of backing up, and restoring all your apps everytime you flash a rom.

TBH IDK, but I imagine that is how it works.

I've finally got a chance to install Build #08312011 and can confirm that the headset mic now works. Thanks Jerry+Blarf.
Maybe when you start to run out of bugs to fix you could look into the Gallery. No matter what I've tried it still is a buggy as a hound dog in July, no matter what CPU speed I'm at.
Now that I'm finally employed again after 3 months, once I've caught up,I will be able to show my support for the devs of this ROM. Thanks again for all the hard work.

I had the problem apps not installing, with errors like insufficient space and invalid package. I reverted back to the old market and it seemed to fix it for a while, but now I'm having problems again.
I read up on it, and it happens when ROMs put the dalvik-cache in the /cache directory. What is the reason for moving it?
/cache and /dalvik-cache show as 99% full (752/112768). My I never had this space problem with the stock ROM.

By creating an "update.zip" do you mean creating a backup? Because as far as I know unless your developing yourself, your not creating an "update.zip". I've been told that your apps are restored when you boot your phone up after you installed a new rom. (haven't tried that way yet.) I was also told you can't restore your apps from recovery I already tried with no success. What I did was Re-download titanium after I wiped and installed new rom. It is all back up in your sd via titanium but no ther way to access those backups from what i understand... If you have the paid version you can do a batch restore if not (like me) I just recovered individually. (better because i ended up not needing all my backed up apps anyways because this rom is awesome..
