does anyone know if i can get this kernel to use on other roms?
2.6.32.9-g103d848
android-build@apa26 #1

800mzh stock kernel that came with this rom.

There are some similar 800mhz ones out there that were stock from previous froyo builds, but the battery life isn't the same.
Everyone is in such a hurry to throw on a 1200mzh kernel. I think this is one might the solution to incredible battery life.

I had extremely heavy use today since 7am. It is now 7:42 pm and my battery is 60%
On any other rom it would have died at about 4 or 5 pm

Yes, you can do it through both (only in ROM manager if you're using it to change ROMs, it gives you the option to wipe when it downloads). In CW, on the main menu, there's an option to do a factory wipe and cache wipe. I recommend doing this before every ROM change and use Titanium backup or Chevys bkapps/rstapps scripts to restore data (this method has worked best for me).

on this note.. WHY is it important to "wipe" your data?

And when you say wipe, are you literally meaning all of your data - calendars, sms, apps, app settings, data, are literally gone and taken back to 0?

If so, does Titanium backup really TOTALLY restore it all exactly as it was? apps, app data, app settings, calendar data, sms, etc. etc.?

I've also got a question about this ROM: I flashed Cyanogenmod 6 onto my Droid this evening from a friend's recommendation, but a GOOD chunk of my apps didn't want to play nice with it, so I went back to rooted eclair. I'm really just looking for something that is stable, will work JUST LIKE Froyo (until there's a rooted version of the official Droid release), and allow some overclocking via SetCPU. I'm not currently interested in anything fancy or experimental in the least; judging by the title of this thread I may have found the ROM to fit my needs, but I'd like a "second opinon" before jumping in with both feet on this ROM. Anyone?
