Step 10.) Uninstall One Click program
To install a custom ROM after all of this...
Step 1.) Download custom ROM to SDCard
Step 2.) Turn phone off
Step 3.) Reboot into Amons recovery mode. Hold Vol Down and Power Simultaneously.
Step 4.) If instructed by the developer, perform the necessary wipes.
Step 5.) Press Vol Down to return to the main menu and select "Flash Zip from SDcard"
Step 6.) Select the *.zip file that you downloaded in Step 1.
Step. 7.) Press Vol Down to go back to the Main Menu then select "Reboot System Now"
Do this and a nandroid backup everytime you install a custom ROM.

Excellent writeup! My only comment is that if you know that you are going to install a third party ROM, I think that the flash of the rootme.zip file is an unnecessary step. Just rearrange some of those steps:
- before rooting, download the custom ROM and put it in the root of your SD card
- also before rooting, turn on USB debugging (though I think that you can do this after flashing the custom ROM if you want to wait.)
- instead of step 7 above, go right to the step 4 under install a custom ROM - perform the wipes - then install the custom ROM
That should be it. After you reboot and set up the ROM with your apps and homescreens, it's probably a good time to power down the phone, start the phone in recovery, and do a nandroid, just to have one that you can come back to.
To summarize, the rootme.zip file is only required if you want to preserve your existing ROM and settings and not install a custom ROM.
