You make it sound like the issues won't get addressed. I don't know anything about Koush, don't know him personally, but this thread was started on the 11th. In that time, there have been 3 updated versions to the ROM, countless updates to the recovery system, and ROM Manager launched.
Maybe I'm misreading your post but from my POV, that's a lot of work in a week.
I have tried almost every ROM out there, not every version, but every ROM I could find, and this ROM with it's quirks, is the best ROM I have tried. To me, there isn't even a close second. Don't get me wrong, I really like BB and SS and UD and Elegance (beautiful ROM albeit...just a little more than a themed version of ESE53) but Koush's ROM just does it for me.

Agree 100% With every ROM (as every car, house, pc, wife, you name it) there are going to be tradeoffs. At least for me, this ROM allows me to get the most and give up the least. There are people that post "This is the greatest ROM I have ever used but I don't like the lockscreen. I am going back to my old ROM." Hey, to each his/her own.

Just don't let your wife hear that. She'll want to know all about the "tradeoffs" you've made!
Anyone else lock screen say "roaming indicator off." Says it when i pull down my notification bar to. I think its supposed to say Verizon Wireless.
Also maybe cause it's new but it seems to me that this Rom is a bit laggy.
Lost all wallpapers (except for LW)
Can’t over-clock past 1000 (I know find another kernel any ideas?)
Had the helix launcher and had NO FC at all had 3 or 4 with this one. (I know install Helix)
Wi-Fi tether gone? Not to sound stupid but anyone know where to get that .apk id like to have it back.
Now with all that said i will stick with it till it gives me problems. But if you have a answer to any of my annoying questions feel free.
Oh yea no offense i don't like my lock screen. Looks kind of stupid.

Laggy: Do you have 7 screens? I think minimizing that to 5 or less has helped others. Also, go to the app called "Spare Parts" and all the way down at the bottom, there is a setting "Home app in memory"...I checked that and it did help. I also turned auto rotation of the home screen off so that may be part of it.
Wallpapers: Are you using 5.0.4.3? I have a bunch of wallpapers to choose from. They were missing in previous releases.

Applied both of these and we will see.

Was using 4.2 for some reason thats what i downloaded
so 4.3 is stable? If so thats a easy fix.
The only thing i dont like about it is how where it is supposed to say "Verizion Wireless" mine says "Roaming Indicator is off" I think this is because im still on a old alltel plan. And Hexfussion is what i was using before so good to see a link for it.
And last but not least thanks for the reply. Some things you just dont know unless someone tells you....
Cant tell them if they dont ask right?
So i will apply all this and see what happens.
---- 5.0.5-N1
* New Apps2SD method built into the framework. See the wiki for instructions! HUGE HUGE thanks to Chris Soyars for coding the bulk of this, and Wysie for getting our asses moving on it.
* Launcher2 tweaked to honor fling velocity - code by Mohd Faruq (ruqqq's Profile - GitHub) - check out more in HelixLauncher on the market
* MMS enhancements originally by rgv151, ported to Eclair by Mohd Faruq, ChainsDD, Wes Garner, and myself

Hey guys, I went to this ROM,and really don't like it. But I'm lost when it comes to installing SPRecovery back onto my phone so I can reload a Nandroid backup I have. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I didn't give Koush enough credit in my original post. Yes, this ROM is new and it has been built from source which represents a totally different ball game when it comes to altering the Droid. I give Koush nothing but props for what he has done and what he will do in the future and I'm really impressed and humbled him and all of the other developers. I understand that new ROMs are bound to have some issues in the beginning and I have no problem putting up with minor bugs but I don't feel like I'm savvy enough to be a beta tester and I feel like this ROM is still in beta mode. I'll leave that to you guys who are more knowledgeable and capable when it comes to trouble shooting and I'll hop on when this ROM is a tad bit more stable.

The ROM was out of beta 8 revisions ago, and it has come a long way. If you don't feel savvy enough to run it now, I'm not sure that's going to change. Not meaning to be condescending at all but most of the complaints I see about cyanogenmod are from users who want to flash a ROM that has everything they want already packaged in it, without having to do anything, rather than an extremely functional base and adding and configuring it themselves. There are plenty that accomplish the former, but if you are willing to learn how to troubleshoot and configure it (with help of course) jump onboard.
5.0.5 is about to drop in a few days, which will fix the MMS and cell standby issues, enable app2sd, and some other stuff. So if that was what was keeping you from trying/keeping it, just check back for this revision and see if it works for you.
Cheers

Use DM updater or download the sprecovery image and place it on your sdcard. In a terminal or an adb shell:
su
flash_image recovery /sdcard/sprecovery-filename.img
reboot recovery
Replace sprecovery-filename with the full name, and once you're booted into the recovery manager, just do your restore.

I am sifting through the forum right now with ROM manager installed just waiting to pull the trigger. I was thinking the same thing. What if I don't like it? I honestly just don't want to deal with that. And I'm not too keen on doing a data wipe either...

As posted above, you can use DM updater to get back to SPRecovery pretty easily (just as easily as you will install Clockwork). Don't be afraid of a data wipe...just do a Nandroid Backup in SPRecovery first. You familiar with that? Then if you don't like Cyanogen...flash back to SPRecovery, load your backup and it will put you exactly where you are today.
Are you using Titanium Backup or similar program to back up your apps, email configurations, call logs, txt msgs, ect? You will want to do that as well so you don't have to spend 4 hours setting your phone back up.
JIT had to be removed. Just not stable and causing Pandora to stop playing while trying to surf the internet
I didn't have any reboots using JIT with 5.0.4.3 so I guess that is good news. Also, with JIT enabled running @ 1.2 GHz, my phone scored 232nd of all devices via Linpack
Hopefully it will be more stable in future releases.
Told ya.
I use Pandora every single day - and it was randomly quitting 75% or more of the time when I was driving down the road for now reason whatsoever.
Ahh, well...
I moved back to UD 7.8 for now, b/c I wanted a chance to get my license file working correctly for TiBu - Joel sent me one with my name spelled slightly incorrectly...
5.0.5 is about to drop in a few days, which will fix the MMS and cell standby issues, enable app2sd, and some other stuff. So if that was what was keeping you from trying/keeping it, just check back for this revision and see if it works for you.
if the Cell Standby is fixedin the next release, I will switch back..
I can add the Multimedia dock and modded YouTube from other builds
After re-boot phone went in to a boot-loop... This was a first for me. So after pulling battery and holding down x , i used the restore from the clockwork recovery. Now i am back at droidmod 1.0 like i was when i started.
Long story short it seems really hard to mess anything up. These guys tell you to back it up every other post. I now understand i can go from rom to rom theme to theme and if i dont like it just restore it. Just my .02 cents.

Let me make this more succinct. This Koush/Cyanogen ROM, in its current state, has certain bugs that are unacceptable for me (but may not be a big deal to others) and it makes no sense for me to go from Pete's ROM, which is literally bugless (for me, atleast). I'd prefer to jump aboard when those certain bugs are worked out. Sue me.
To be honest, if the improvements continue, I'm am almost 100% certain that this Koush ROM will become my #1 ROM because of its speed, the 3D app drawer, 180 degree rotation, and apps2SD and I will be happy to donate once it reaches that point (hopefully soon). If the next release (5.0.4.5) has all of the fixes you mention above, then I'd say it is coming closer to being that ROM.
most of the complaints I see about cyanogenmod are from users who want to flash a ROM that has everything they want already packaged in it, without having to do anything, rather than an extremely functional base and adding and configuring it themselves.
This was exactly the point of my original post. Sure, I can "configure" the ROM by adding custom themes and adding WiFi tether and things like that. But even when I ask how to fix the HQ YouTube issue, the answers I get are extremely terse and vague (for someone who has never performed such a fix before). Furthermore, when there's a problem with MMS, cell standby, or USB tether, I can't "configure" away those problems. The only thing I can do is wait patiently for Koush to fix them and I have no problem with that. However, until those things are fixed, I'll stick with Pete's ROMs, which allow me to have a 100% stable phone. I'm not complaining about Koush or saying he's a shitty developer or that his ROM sucks (it doesn't) He, and all of the other devs are extremely talented and deserving of the accolades they receive. I'm just saying that, for me personally, the time has not yet come to flash this ROM to my phone but I can't wait until it reaches that point because I really believe this has the potential to be the best ROM out, BY FAR.

Jestexman...sorry, I completely glanced over this last night. I wasn't intentionally dodging your questions.
5.0.4.3 is listed as experimental but that's the version when I noticed the wallpapers returned.
Yes, the HexFusion theme is Metamorph. Some of the other themes have to be applied in recovery so just pay attention to the instructions (I have done the "why the hell is this not theming...oops" thing before!).
WiFi Tethering working for you? I didn't have to change anything...just installed it and I was good to go.
As for the "roaming message" on your home screen...I KNOW I read something where you could pull a file off of your phone, change the text and upload it back....but I can't find the damn link anywhere. Can anyone help here???

No one should be questioning why you are flashing to another ROM. Damn, if I had to be loyal to one rom...I'd have pissed of a lot of people by now! I'm sticking with this rom cause I feel the potential just like you do...I just want to see the progression "step by step" with this one. One comment though...you know you'll be back when Apps2SD is working!

i've been running this for a couple of days and its great!
the only problems are have are with
-mms
-my LED notifications do not seem to work anymore
-maybe once or twice a day my phone will randomly just turn off and I have to take the battery out and then put it back in to be able to boot it up again.

can't wait for .5!
Same here... I wish they would get their shit together... i keep reading about issues with clock and people having restore problems and various other issues. SPR has been bulletproof for me so far and the idea of swapping over and over is kiling me...
Then again... if .5 is all that I might just stay..
I believe the display of a higher than normal cell standby is just a display issue, unless it is showing that you have 50 percent time without a signal. If you don't show that amount of time without a signal then it shouldn't be doing anything to your battery life.
From the preview of 2.0 of nextheme it looks amazing. It will be out shortly after 5.05 of cyanogenmod
You have a link with preview images or info?

correct I had the 50% issue, but would prefer to wait for the next revision

Okay, so this is EXACTLY what I mean when I say that people should learn what is going on behind the scenes when they root their phones via DM Updater. If you understand how recovery works, how to use simple adb commands, etc., you will backup your phone before making a change to your system, and you will be able to explore options that are available to you with your rooted phone.
You switched back to DroidMod and that's cool. If that's the ROM for you, great. But you really can't screw your phone up if you understand enough to take simple, preventative measures. That means you can try virtually ANYTHING and if it throws you in a boot loop, just won't load, is unstable, or you just don't like it...you have only wasted a little time...no data is lost, no harm is done. Today you are on DroidMod...tomorrow, you could jump to the new version coming out of the CyanogenMod ROM and if you don't like it...no problem.
Tip: Get Titanium Backup!!! Even the free version will capture things that you can't keep when moving to a new rom (anytime you have to format data). Things like POP/IMAP email settings, call logs, SMS/MMS messages, etc. are easily restored and in some cases (like when switching to a new ROM with the same "Home or Launcher", you can restore all of your icons and widgets as well. BIG TIME SAVER!!! I wouldn't be able to flash so many different ROMs without this!
For those users looking to throw the CW .img file on the root of there SD card you can get it here!. Put this and the SPR's 993b .img on the root of your SD card and you can use adb to restore your desired recovery rom if you ever get in a jam. I kinda think of it as my disaster recovery plan...

I dont want to lock myself into relying on the app.... and if I have the images I don't have to. Does RoM manager put the .img file anywhere usable?... e.g. \download folder on the SDcard?.

It does put them on the sd card. Under clockworkmod/download/koush.romraid.com/recoveries

How do u do all this with titanium backup? Mine just backups apps. Do you need the donate version? I use sprite backup for the things u mentioned it, but it always FCs on me during the backup process.

menu/batch/ run backup all user apps + system data
I just backup my apps and app data typically. Whenever I go to a new ROM I don't like to bring previous system data over to it.

I like to have EVERYTHING backed up. I agree with endmao...I don't restore it all. I use Titanium backup to restore "all missing apps with data" and then I select the apps that I don't want and uncheck them...then I run the Batch Operation. Easy...but that's not going to do it all for you. You have to click on the main backup/restore menu and then scroll through and find other things you want to bring back. For example...look for 'Email 2.1-update' and then click on restore. It will prompt you to restore "data only". Go ahead and restore that and when it's done, you can go into your email app and see your your various accounts. You can do this for various "system" apps. When you restore SMS/MMS...it doesn't replace your system's messaging app...it just restores your data.
The donate version has more bells and whistles but the free version will do all of this too. Biggest drawback is that it only holds 1 backup for each app...its nice to have 2-3 different backup...just in case you backup something you didn't mean too (maybe cause you hadn't restored it yet...now you just backed up nothing...and you have no failsafe).

Thank god he didn't just release 505... they had some major issues with the first test run... would have created a panic with 80% of the people installing it. The been fixed for the most part. Quote below of description from a poster over at Cyan.
"Based on what happened last night, that would be a bad policy. It was a nightmare scenario where Rom manager was okay, but the update hosed recovery. If you wiped data when you installed the rom, but didn't get the Google apps installed before rebooting, you couldn't get into recovery and couldn't re-download RM. Would have been impossible for Koush to help people out of. I got lucky because I didn't wipe. Others got lucky because they installed both pkgs simultaneously. Since we were all communicating we could help each other through. If anyone had done it on their own, unless they got lucky, they'd have been hosed and needlessly afraid they'd bricked. Limited testing in a group environment is a good thing."
Hopefully everyone sticking with SPR gets the same update.zip love for 5.0.5 as was given with 5.4.2 / 3 .....

I for one used this as a learning experience...I'm should start a new thread on the subject so the "DroidMod" rooters who start flashing other roms without thinking or knowing the first thing about what they are doing will take second look at "okay, so what am I actually doing here?"...but I doubt I will...don't think it will do much good. I'll just get "you think your better than us" kinds of comments...like always when touching on that subject.
I got a copy of the test release on this (from secondary source that had informed me about the issues). Knowing what what was going to happen, I wanted to make sure I could fix it and learn what I needed to know. I haven't had to use adb to push a recovery image in a few months now... People would have been screwed if they didn't understand more than how do download a file and apply it as a update.zip in recovery. Really, really screwed! It took me about 30-45 minutes to fix the problems the ROM caused...AND I KNEW WHAT WAS GOING TO HAPPEN! The problems left you with no recovery (can't press 'x' while turning power on...nothing), no market (can't download a new ROM Manager), there was no file manager built into the system so you couldn't navigate to your SD card...what a nightmare to someone without a little knowledge about ADB (or maybe ADB never even being set up on their cpu).
But all the discussions I've had about ACTUALLY LEARNING about what your doing when you root...go over really badly!
Thankfully, Koush was wise enough to have a limited test release...The testers (most of them very knowledgeable) would have had problems...they wouldn't have been prepared for it...they would have been okay...but my guess is that it would have taken over a good part of their Saturday!

Rumor has it.... tomorrow.. or late tonight. Either way when it comes.... it comes. I'm gonna wait and see how the first installers go. Then... if a compatible update.zip is released for SPR I'll give it a shot.
Then I'll take it from there...... I'm sure it's gonna have it's bugs.... but it's also suppose to be the most cutting edge... so we'll see.
