I followed the instructions on sdx forum on how to install clockworkmod which was done by downloading sdk and redbend_ua with recovery kernel and from what I could tell successfully flashed clockworkmod from there I installed from market as a suggestion in a post on xda. So I've been gathering bits and pieces of info from different sites because there is no one place for a noob to get all the info on how to flash a custom rom from start to finish with an epic. Take this for example:
Here are the instructions for bakedSnack:
Things you need:
clockwork recovery (googl'd that it lead me to this post, so I did that).
a full wipe of data (figured that out)
Instructions:
boot into clockwork (thought I found help here nope same trend of not enough info)
wipe data/cache/dalvik (figured I was wiping everything goes back to factory but I don't even see "cache/dalvik" in the options)
flash the .zip (I wish I knew how to get past this point)
reboot
your done
Sure could use that tutorial or maybe just an update by someone to the wiki

One step at a time..first before flashing anything you need to install clockworkmod on your phone..follow the instructions here:

http://wiki.ppcgeeks.com/index.php?t...g#ClockworkMod

if runtryfirst.bat fails use runtrylast.bat

once its installed, turn off the phone, wait 30 sec then turn it on by holding vol down + camera + power and hold it till it boots into recovery.
