hi, i am a newbie to custom roms, and it even took me over 3 months to figure out how to root my ally, but then after a lucky try got it on the first attempt. any way... i installed velocity (before had 2.2.2 on my ally). followed all the instructions (backing up and installing rom manager, etc). on first boot after installation got stuck on the velocity (vertical) screen, freaked out but finally got it to work after reflashing. now i seem to be running into these issues: music stops playing while listening, or the volume is all jacked and keeps going all the way down (to combat this i have installed a smart volume free which lets me lock the media volume at the desired level), also i get fc with many apps i have installed, im not sure if its cuz i changed my default install location to sdcard, but even have tried changing it back to auto and reinstalled the app and still having the problem with fc. also battery seems to be draining even faster than before i installed velocity... not sure if its cuz i am oc at 729MHz interactive gov. other than these issues i have to say BRAVO! LOVE VELOCITY! props to the devs!
