Yes, download the rom to the root of your SD card and flash away.

Absolutely. You download the zip and flash it through recovery. And for many roms, you can have ROMmanager do all the work for you.

Be careful with Rom Manager. It said it needed to update Clockwork Recovery and in the process of rebooting the phone, the recovery image is corrupted and my phone will no longer boot into recovery.
I haven't tried reflashing the recovery image via adb yet, but hope it will work.

You dont have to use rom manager, you can just navigate with the browser and download as if you use a computer. The file would be located in /sdcard/download
The only problem is the data speeds.
Peace

[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.

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.

Uncapped data on liberty 1.5

Does anyone have the .zip file for uncapped data for liberty 1.5? Or would the one for 1.0 work?

Well, I just installed it, and my phone hasn't caught on fire yet... Speedtest is a little better than my normal speeds sitting at my desk, but nothing amazing. But my speeds here at work fluctuate SO wildly anyways, it's just weird.
This mainly just keeps your phone from being throttled at peek hours or after you have reached 5gigs

Currently there is no official support for the Shift from Koush (the guy who does CWM). Apparently it is in the works however.
YOu can use ROM managers, but you can't use it to directly install a recovery. There are some hurdles to jump over and hoops to jump through in order to do that.
See this post for directions to use it to flash recovery (but this is only AFTER perm-rooting the phone)

ROM Manager not working?

Is anyone else having a problem with ROM Manager on their MT4Gs? Everytime I try to download a ROM it says it can't download ratings and most ROMs don't even load.

I believe you have to have pro to be able to download from rom manager. I've never had problems with rom manager. I have pro.

Simple way of doing it
Download ROM to computer
push to SDcard
verify MD5SUM
reboot into recovery
make back of current ROM
flash away
reboot

[Q] HELP! stuck flashing recovery!!!

I need help flashing a recovery on my phone. I'm a noob when it comes to rooting phones and such, I have tried many different things such as goomanager and using rom manager. If anyone could possibly explain in details on what to do, or link me to a possible solution
-I'm already perma rooted
-I have s-off
-I have a clockwork on the phone but whenever I click a section, it comes up blank (Rom manager)
-Installed recovery from ROM Manager

First off, this is the wrong section. But don't worry, everyone makes mistakes lol.
And now for the recovery. If you could get into your phone, like start it up and stuff. Install this app --> http://www.4ext.net/get.php?apk
Then install the app and open it. The rest is straight forward. It will install the recovery for you. Hope it helps.
Well if u installed recovery from ROM manager then u already flashed a recovery. U can boot into recovery from ROM manager app.
The link that notorious is providing is to flash a different recovery in the same way.
