Journaling basically lets the phone keep a "journal" of the data, and what the phone is doing, kinda like an instant image or backup. You sacrifice some speed, but it's more stable and reliable, and helps protect your data from getting corrupted.

ok, im a little confused with the step process as listed. step #3 says, "Copy midNIGHT ROM v5.2 (BYOR Edition) to your SDcard and boot into recovery." then we proceed to step#4 and "Download and extract the midNIGHT ROM Extras v5 or midNIGHT ROM v5.2 Standard Upgrade.zip to your SDcard." im thinking that i should do the "boot into recovery" part stated in step#3 as step#5. what am i missing or not understanding here?

Download this (from the lost and tired page)

Copy it to your sd card boot into recovery and install it after you install the rom.
