Odin is your friend,believe it.

If you're using a 3rd party launcher good luck. I got stuck in fc hell, and had to wipe everything out

unless your 3rd party launcher is in your /system

I had the 3rd party launcher installed when I made backup, so am I safe?
Edit: nrm I don't believe that would be backed up. So how can I fix this problem?

Go to market and download OCLF. Easy to use and only downside is the same as all other lagfixes you must disable before you flash anything else. There are many threads on this.

He might not have added anything, but might have changed some settings or defeated a few more levels in Angry Birds (for example).

Call me careful but when I went from 2.2 to 2.2.5.5 I did full Titanium Backup, nand backup, turned off voodoo, and cleared data/cache.
I then updated the phone and restored everything then turned on voodoo. It didn't take that long and everything loaded perfectly.
How do I disable voodoo? And where do I find it?

Easiest way is to download the app in the market (free) called Voodoo Toggle. The picture is an Android guy with pins in him. Click disable and click restart.

[Q] Questions on themes and deodexing

Ok I've managed to get my device rooted and overclocked, I have Bootstrapper and Clockwork Mod. My question is am I deodexed and am I ready for themes now
No, you have three options:
1) Manually deodex your phone
2) Install a Rom that's already been deodexed
3) Download and flash your stock files for deodexed ones
Ok how do I know which themes have been deodexed already and how do I know what apex I have

If you browse the droid x themes and apps section of xda, the theme creator will tell you what has been deodexed or not. I know the 928 blackglass theme is deodexed already but I do not know of many themes that come deodexed. Of you wish to deodex your phone, search google for "xUltimate 2.2 Manually deodex your phone".
As for apex...this is a custom ROM, so this will not be running on yout phone yet, you would have to install it of this is the ROM you wish to run.

I have a feeling that after I deodex I'm still not done ...lol I actually tried loading the DXred theme the other day and it worked ..then I noticed that the dialer button didn't work then it killed my service ...ya think that happened because I was not properly deodexed?

Probably. After you deodex you should be ready for loading up a custom theme. Be sure to read any instructions specific to the theme you apply.

Ah, ok. Xultimate is an application that runs on your computer, not your phone.
If you have your phone rooted, and know how to use the Droid X bootstrap to install .zip files, then download this file:
http://www.mediafire.com/?gvvgnum0uma2huk
Run this with Droid X bootstrap and you will be deodexed, and not need xultimate.
Ok after a lot of research I finally understand the whole thing.....most if the themes I see on line you need a custom ROM to run them which of course I'm running stock therefore I have to choose from the stock ones which is cool. I found a pretty cool one called Executive Red and it's working perfect. Thank you very much for all of your help

No problem. Glad to hear you got where you want to be. I would recommend just doing some research, and when you feel like you're comfortable, try out one of the custom ROMs. I regret not jumping into one a little sooner. They really have a great advantage many times.
Look into themes from Bignadad. He does themes for liberty, rubix, and did one for the original 2.3.15 OTA. Check him out on twitter as well, and you can keep up on what he is working on. I would recommend Bignadad by far, he is in my opinion the most thorough with his themes, and they always look amazing.

You have to pay for the hotspot app to work unless you perform another modification such as the one that team black hat released to use it for free.

Ok so even though my lap top sees it and says it's connected they (Verizon )can still block you? And how do I get this mod from team black hat

Yes, it will say its there, but you cannot use it without paying (kinda). There is another mod, where you start the program, then put the plane in airplane mode, then disable airplane mode and it works as if you had subscribed to the service...
or there is the tbh hack.. which they say is unethical, and they don't condone, so please read the whole page before using this... just a disclaimer.

You basically download a .zip and flash it in clockworkmod recovery.

Google sync downloads them all. I use adw launcher that allows you to back up app placement on you home screens. Makes it real easy to resetup everything when I flash to a new rom.

A couple notes:
3e recovery, and it's different than what I've seen before. (No Reinstall pkgs)
The modem on this ROM was mediocre (not as good as JK4), and no HSPA+
I also had apps with widgets installed that mysteriously disappeared from the widget menu.

The recovery is better than stock froyo or eclair. Has install update from sd card which when selected showed every cwm zip I had on my card. Didn't try one though. No disappearing widgets either. I like the modem, loud and nice voice quality. Speed an issue though.
