A good rule of thumb, taught to me by the great Jerry Script,( who was one of the original IHO ROM authors) ...
Always start with a clean wipe. That way, none of your old junk is left to screw up your new stuff. With roms..cleaniness is next to Godliness! And backups are everything!
And I had to reactivate too, using the self activate utility. It worked perfectly. Then I updated the prl & profile. Everything worked after that. I had a similar experience using AS8v22 rom for my old LG F3. It worked the same way upon first flash.
