In the end, the actual Radio and OS ROM updates hardly took any time at all - it was reinstalling programs, restoring settings, dealing with sync issues, and sorting out the GPS that took hours.
The gps stuff is in the next kitchen, but reinstalling programs is a pure nightmare. Once you learn how to make a custom oem, even that isn't so bad.

To Journey's point, my phone is a mission-critical device for me, and I must admit that it is not as stable now as it was before the upgrade. In my research I recall that HTC Home might have a mem leak, so that may be the source of the problem.
No leak, it's just a pig. Titan is short on memory, and you're going to have trouble using all the apps you list without reseting regularly. Maybe a good x-button type app will help (avoid htc x-close!)

After all the effort to get everything working again I was not considering flashing again anytime soon, but now I believe I will act to get a stripped-down ROM and replace HTC Home. Part of the prep will be to collect all my program CABs (eWallet, ListPro, Pocket Quicken, Skyfire, etc.) in one place so it's easy to reinstall all those.
Put them on your SD card or extended rom partition, which won't erase on a custom rom flash, and learn how to install them using one of the several autoInstallers (UC, tierAutoinstall, etc)

Also need to find a disciplined way to get the settings back up. Someone on XDA mentioned OEMizer as a means of keeping the settings, so I have bookmarked a thread on it so I can begin learning how to use that tool.
It's in the kitchen. Nothing to it really...the work is in determining what you need.

Because of the generous contributions of the folks here, I have a list of interfaces I need to explore as well, from Ifonz and MusicFlo to SPB's Mobile Shell and Pocket Plus with stops at Ultimate Launcher and Point UI in between.
Again, don't forget about the limited RAM problem. Mobile shell and pocket plus will eat into it substantially.

I'm intrigued by nueROM 3, but I need to wait for a bit more stability before trying it.
The good news is, if you can deal with not having a camera, you get a ton more memory...which will help with that stability thing termendously.

And, of course, I need to learn about the no2chem's many nueTools so I can understand why I would need them and how I would use them. Gee, think I have enough to do here?
