Very cool. I love the snappy response after the update. Any themes?

I've got some things in mind for my next release. I hope to release that maybe with some new themes. I plan to build a theme for this that matches my Frost ROM and make it available on this one (with some variation)

I also have to work on porting matted blues for that one so maybe I'll get that one on here as well.

Two questions .....

1) Can the NASCAR app be used with this ROM (I saw that the Nav app had a link to reload it, but none of the other apps)

2) Can the home screen be set to rotate when the phone is being held in landscape mode?

1. Yes, the nascar app can be used
2. No, the rosie launcher isn't set up to do landscape. I think I saw a mod to allow it awhile ago, but the sense launcher doesn't look too hot in landscape IMO. Alternatively, a launcher can be downloaded from the market to accomplish this, like ADW or launcher pro

I have a new evo with the 3.30.651.3. Is it possible to root and install your rom? I have searched but keep finding mixed info.

Yes, this is the newest firmware. It is actually built for your new evo.
Happens to work with no problems with later revisions as well.
