Nygel could be onto something. Just thought I'd mention v3.1 deodexed is 174MB-did you get a complete dl?

Only if you want to.....
It's personal choice, no one can tell you what to do.
The ROM comes with kings bfs#6 which is a really strong, great kernel IMO.
#8 bfs is excellent as well, choice is yours.

I notice that most of the applications that the rom comes with are not showing up for me and I am not sure why. This has happened with other roms as well.

I always wipe several time before and after I flash a new rom. Is the fact that I wipe after flashing the rom the reason why I am not seeing the applications? I am assuming me this shouldn't cause the problem.

Any thoughts?

That is EXACTLY why.
OMJ includes his "custom" apps in /data/app which is cleared out by your post-flash wipes if you are doing a factory reset/wipe.
Apps in /system/app are protected which is why you dont have a completely blank slate.
I see NO reason for post flash wipe as standard practice.
AT MOST you could wipe just cache and dalvik. SOMEtimes a custom kernel needs that to get up and running...sometimes.
Just wiping cache and dalvik will not wipe /data/app.

Yes, I figured this out by testing it out. My understanding was that a factory wipe/reset would mean a blank slate of what the rom came with.

You said OMJ includes his custom apps in /data/app, is placing the apps in there the only way to get this done? Or is it just a chef's preference? Reason I am asking is to see (since I am not a chef) if a chef could build the rom in a way that would avoid losing the apps if a person resets/wipes.

Man, and I thought I wiped a lot

Still wondering why you are wiping post flash? I've never done it (with one exception for the kernel reason I mentioned)
The app location is chef's preference, I've seen it OMJ's way and with everything in /system/app.
Apps being in /data/app make them easier to remove...as you've discovered

If you mount system as writable
adb remount
you could move everything over to /system/app and feel confident to wipe your brains out.

So what all is in data/app that I am missing out on? I also wiped post flash due to my TP2 habits... Haven't flashed 3.1 yet so I guess I'll find out soon enough either way...

start at 3.0 fist set it up and see if you like the setup and then just upgrade to 3.1 without wiping. Thats what I did andit worked for me cause I was getting some wierd hiccups that I never experience.
Oh one more thing make sure you have the udated radio and wimax also, just fyi

got it working... For some reason I couldn't flash directly via recovery. I had to flash via ROm Mgr. That way it worked fine. Got everything installed and charging the phone up now.. Lets see tomorrow when I start messing with the phone to see how it works.

Thanks

ROM Mgr Flash worked. After I did the nand Restore I just ran ROM Mgr and flashed thru that. It worked like a charm... hopefully the phone runs good tomorrow and the thing doesn't crap out on me.. I'm currently charging it so I haven't really taken it for a test drive..

"Feel confident to wipe your brains out" - LOL

I do post flash wiping because of a habit from windows flashing. Even after flashing a new rom, it is possible that some junk from the previous rom still lurking around so it was suggested to wipe after the flash as well. I have been doing it ever since. I moved over to android (as you can tell, still a noob) and I continue the same practice.

If it's not necessary, I can save myself a step.
