Root Get sholes 2.0.6 now!

Currently using BBeast 0.7.6. Have tried Sholes a few times but never gotten their wifi tether to work. Would like to give this latest a try but having always used SMupdater, what's the correct way to load this rom from the "tgz" file?

Reboot into recovery mode (hold 'x' during power on), volume down until you get to install, select rom, select 2.0.6, install.

Do the sholes installers include the 2.1 Gallery app? I can't remember and I really don't want to re-flash to find out.

Yes, it always had.

I'm diggin' the Sholes 2.0.6. Not a big diff from 2.0.5 or Bugless Beast 0.7.6, but they got the CPU temp working again in the kernel, which is nice.

Also, it looks great w/ xeudoxus' Hero theme :D

Is wireless tether not working in sholes a common issue?... or is it an issue in certain ROM's?.

You should have the sholesmod-2.0.6.rom.tgz on the root or top level of your SD card Then boot reboot into recovery and choose Install>Install from SD card>sholesmod-2.0.6.rom.tgz. It will then run the installation and ask you if you want to delete /data or not. Then it will ask you what components you would like to install. Should be pretty simple. If i am wrong someone correct me
I just tried this method and it does a nadroid backup, it dumps system tar, then dumps the data tar, then says done.then says attempting to install rom from/ sdcard/sholesmod 2.06.rom.tgz, then decompressing rom, then unpacking.sdcard sholesmod 2.06.rom.tar, then says done, when i reboot im still at 2.03. not sure what im missing.
