NexBeast 0.9 Release
I built this ROM because I was having some issues with CyanogenMod 5.0.5 (mainly, no MMS), but I didn't want to give up the look and feel of NexTheme, which I really liked.
Before I begin, I must give credit where it is due (everyone but me, I take no credit. I'm just an enthusiast, not a developer).
Pete - For the excellent, bugless base ROM
Koush - For porting over CyanogenMod 5.0.5 to the Droid
Cyanogen - For building CyanogenMod
manup456 - For the AWESOME NexTheme 2.0
ChevyNo1 - For the overclock kernel
AdamZ - For the overclock kernel
gl0be - Whose Desire theme helped me a lot
haxzamatic - For his port of NexTheme to Koush's CM5
jr33 - For his Metamorph of NexTheme
arctu - For the AMAZING HelixLauncher2
Sorry if I missed anyone. All your work is appreciated!

Installation Instructions (for use w/ SPRecovery ONLY!)
This is a nandroid backup w/ only System and Boot partitions enabled. If you're using an ESE53 ROM, you should be able to install over it and keep your data. I'm not making any promises.
Also, as I've put Facebook, Maps, Wireless Tether, Google Goggles and Spare Parts into /system, if you've manually installed them and they're on your /data, you need to uninstall them first before you flash, or there will be conflicts.
The best method of installing would be to do a wipe (DATA, CACHE, SYSTEM) and then nandroid recover.
Please let me know if you update over an ESE53 ROM and it works (state which version please )

BUGS
Sorry guys, this is a known bug w/ BB 0.9, but the enablescripts isn't working right. You'll need to run the following commands in Terminal Emulator or through adb:
Then, to fix busybox (you'll get an error if you try Titanium Backup) type:
Also, whenever an app requests su permissions for the first time, it might just hang. Just go back to home and relaunch the app and it should be all fine.
Also, I've been getting the 50% without signal under cell standby, however, with very low cell standby battery usage. I'm beginning to wonder if it isn't NexTheme that's causing this bug, since with CM 5.0.5, I did not have this issue until I installed NexTheme on that! Anyways, just pop your phone into airplane mode for 30 seconds and turn it back off to fix. Also, let me know if you don't have this issue at all.
