Ok so since Im S-ON still, I just have to use 4EXT app to flash the new HD Lite version of this correct? Im on V4 Lite currently so is there a real reason to update? Only issue I have with this ROM is that it slows down on some games (Spell Sword) and even emulators likes SNES ones.

**Actually regarding overclocking on this rom, can I DL SetCPU and increase the speed?**

And I shouldnt have a problem backing up my apps with say Titanium backup for games? Thanx guys for the help and Mobster for the awesome job!

I'll just try to answer your questions in order :
-Yes, if you're s-on it's safer to just use 4EXT with Smart Flash.
-Updating the rom is up to you, just look at the change log and decide for yourself.
-Overclocking is not possible with the default kernel in this rom. You will have to flash a different kernel. You should check out the xda developers forum to find them.
-Titanium backup is probably the best app you can use to back up your data :)

seems rather pointless. why even have a lock screen? for as much effort you put into changing pages and stuff, you could simply unlock your phone and have those on your home screens. same amount of effort, plus you have a camera hardware button making that lock screen even more useless.

I like concept I don't feel like going out and buying a 400 dollar phone at the moment

Not any specific app. I run it, it gets stuck on the third app so I force stop it and retry. Same thing thing happens every time.

right, but what is the 3rd app? if it gets stuck, it is typically stuck on 1 particular app each time. if the 3rd app happens to be awesome beats, then when doing the batch restore, unselect awesome beats, or whichever the 3rd app is.

Yep, the apk is on xda if you want to try it yourself, but this is what
Ricardo Cerqueira (CM developer) said about it:

"Quick guide to a faster, stabler Android: triple wipe, clear dalvik, reset battery stats, format /system regularly, limit the clock when screen is off, use random schedulers (the less characters in its name, the better), amusingly-named CPU governors (the more your 8-year old giggles at its name, the better), and top it off with an off-spec LCD density for improved app compatibility. And now the new hotness, use the less-than-random non-blocking PRNG to mess up the pool used by cryptography and apparently nothing else.
Equivalent guide for a faster, stabler car: Paint flames on the side doors, and hammer a 4x2 plank to the trunk's lid.
Screw this, I'm doing cars."
And commented this on it
"The entropy pool stuff is bullshit. The only users of /dev/random are libcrypto (used for cryptographic operations like SSL connections, ssh key generation, and so on), wpa_supplicant/hostapd (to generate WEP/WPA keys while in AP mode), and the libraries that generate random partition IDs when you do an ext2/3/4 format. None of those 3 users are in the path of app execution, so feeding random from urandom does nothing except make random... well... less random
The only reason devices feel faster is because by constantly polling the PRNG, it keeps the device's I/O in constant use (which in turn, depending on device, will make the CPU stick to higher clock frequencies to keep up)"
