good afternoon, first off im a newb, but ive been lurking for the past two weeks. ive rooted my phone with unrevoked, and i think im about ready to flash myns 2.2 rom with kings 11 kernal. before i go ahead id like to make sure all of my ducks are in a row... ive done a nand backup with clockwork mod recovery, synced all my apps also. saved my contacts on my sd card. ive been reading threads and watching tutorial videos all week, id like to ask a couple newb questions first....

1)do i have to partition my sd card before i put the rom and kernal on it?
2)do i need to download the stock rom and kernal incase i want to revert, or should the nand backup do the trick?
3)do i need to flash google apps, or will myns rom come with it?
4)do i have to delete the rom and kernal zips from my sd card once ive flashed them?
5)thanks guys for the help, any pieces of advice?

 

thanks guys, just did it and im enjoying it, where do you get themes and how do you install them?

 

thanks, any idea on how to customize the lock screen with my name?
