If you are using the one here is the OP then you need to do the wiping yourself. The only one that wipes for you is the script OTA version, and it asks you.
Ran the OTA while I was getting ready for work this morning. Everything went as smooth as I'd expect with the group of guys that are working on this now.
I'm extremely happy to see that you decided to keep the terminal scripts inside the toolkit as well!
Great Rom guys! One question, is there a way to restore apps that were removed from Velocity toolbox? I accidentally removed the Browser and would like to add it back in.

Awesome followup to all the previous Velocity ROMs, and Punisher/Frunisher, as well!
What "easter eggs"?

You'll either need to find it somewhere and push it in or reflash the ROM without wiping.
Wicked sweet, only one issue, all my old images and backgrounds are not showing up in the gallery, only pictures taken from my camera are. Any idea why?
Very nice. Snappiest ROM yet (so fast!). Don't think I'll go back to Frunisher, barring any unforseen circumstance.
Report of my current experience:
When trying to use alternate themes having issues. Went to the MIUI, then tried to use the psuedoSENSE. The MIUI was never removed, then I started having FC issues.
I reflashed to see if i can get a clean start.
+++
FC issues resolved.
Going to try theme again.
+++
When using the seMIUI theme the "setting" button popup reverts to white, but has white text and is not readable.
reverting to stock to see if that clears out themeing. clock and calendar had some sort of FC while applying the stock theme.
+++
applying stock theme does not seem to remove previous theme properly. trying cache and dalvic clear to see if that fixes it.
BTW- absolutely LOVE that this can now be done from the toolkit!
+++
clearing the caches did not clear out the themeing. reflahing ROM, again.

Any info or more in depth documentation on the Application Install Location settings? If I set it to always install to SD, it's not like the older velocities (0.# releases) in that if some things are moved to SD now, widgets won't work. Am I better of just leaving that setting "default"? Any help is appreciated. Thanks for the hard work, yet another great ROM.

Great ROM but one thing I wish they would make available in addition to Velocity 1.1 is a zip file of all removed stock programs (APK files) so people could easily have everything in one place to add some of them back if they need it.

First off thank you velocity team! This looks great and i havent even had the time to really get into things yet. However i have had just one small problem.
Since updating 1 widget doesnt work anymore. Its signal strength widget pro by bitmod dev. I can put it on the homescreen but it wont update, says tmobile as the carrier and no signal, the only other time ive seen it do this is when the phone was started in airplane mode and it didnt update. I wiped everything and reflashed and it is still having the problem.
Has anyone else run into an issue not being able to change the wallpaper? I've tried flashing a few times with both wiping and not wiping data, but each time I can't change the background to anything other than a live wallpaper. If I try using a picture from my gallery or one of the velocity wallpapers it defaults back to the green velocity one.
Any suggestions?
*Edit* I might have found my issue...I changed the default heap size from 12 to 16 and now I can change wall paper again

Reason: Might've found my answer
im having some sms issues, i did a full wipe before flashing. when i try to send it keep looks like its sending and sending but never gets sent and i wasnt getting responses, rebooted and got the texts. i had similar issues with 1.0 and it seemed to have resolved itself after a bit.
My issue was pure operator error. For whatever reason my phone was on 3G only so I couldn't so squat. I would have figured it out sooner, but I rarely talk on the damn thing.
I don't know how someone got that 2,000+ score on quadrant. I'm OC'd to 748 and got 1052. Still very nice though...
Thanks so much guys!
Edit: And I've noticed that I've run Quadrant a few times in a row and it goes up about 100 points each time :-/
Very excellent work Team Velocity. Haven't done any quads yet but don't really care to either. Everything has worked flawlessly so far except the flashlight app. It works but it once I turn it off, the phone led keeps changing from red, blue, green once in awhile. Excellent battery life, Came off the charger at 10 this morning and after constant texting, email, facebook, and tweet deck im stll only at 46% battery life. That is also being overclocked to 787. went to 808 but the phone couldn't handle it. Very snappy and quick, Excellent work all. Thanks again for sticking with us Trident!

Velocity 1.1 = pure awesomness.
where do you check that at? I've been able to receive & make calls & texts just no pics.
Help
I updated from 1.0 to 1.1 and now I don't. Know/can't connect to my data network
I used to use extended control to switch between wifi and data, but I can't switch to data in extended controls anymore because it doesn't support that on gingerbread
Can someone please tell me how to get back on my data network.
I already enabled data in settings but still nothing
