I've read there can be problems with the restore process when coming from a different ROM because it's BYOR and a lot of the apk's will be missing. I was wondering if I used the method in one of Rob's videos to modify the ROM.zip before by placing all the files for the apks I have in the right places, if that would keep it from causing problems. Or I am I setting myself up for a lot more work than if I just do a backup, wipe everything, and set it all up again?

If you are worried about missing a critical apk when you build your ROM, just use the Standard Edition zip. That will give you all the things you should need to get a good stable ROM running. Then go into CWM and use the zips in the midNIGHT Extras folder to flash whatever else you want one by one. I highly recommend making a full nandroid backup after flashing the Standard Edition zip and you verfiy that is is running smoothly. That way if you start flashing apps in CW and something goes wrong at least you will have a fully fiunctioning ROM to go back to and start over.

Just discovered 2 odd errors that I'm sure are somehow of my doing. Wifi doesn't work, and the phone dialer fc's. You would think I would have found these already since I last flashed 5 days ago. There's a bit of a n0ob error.

I just installed midnight rom and I have to say it is fast and retains my great battery life but i have one major problem. Swype does not work and displays the trial period is over. Since Samsung bundles swype with its phone how do i get this keyboard installed?

I tried searching this thread but i couldn't find anyone with this error which mean i didn't search enough.

Finally, one that works! I got the "trial period expired" notification too and since then I have tried flashing 3 or 4 different versions of Swype that I had found and none of them worked. This one works perfectly. Thanks Rob.
