Just installed the 6/1 version of this ROM and restored my titanium backup and now I can't get any apps to download or update from the market. I've tried wiping the market cache and data and rebooting... no luck. Any ideas?
Try using an older version of titanium backup if possible. I have issues with the newer version sometimes. And make sure you do not restore any system data. That can possibly break your market key. Use titanium backup to restore user apps only!

Why would you ever restore system apps? Especially from an older build of your rom? That is what is breaking your market. You should use the Accounts backup feature of TB. Your system apps come with your rom and are signed with the same key. If you restore from an older or different rom, you'll cause all sorts of issues.
He has a point. System apps are specific to certain ROMs, not every single one out there. But I still suggest using a different ROM. AOSP's Gingerbread 2.3.4 is a lot for the Optimus V to handle, and while it offers a lot of tweaks, ROMs like the REBORN ROM have many of the same features and save the battery life exponentially. I'm using that ROM right now, I used to use AOSP but I got tired of waiting for updates and all of the many bugs that come with it...camera freezing or not focusing, crashes and FCs, reboots, high battery temperature (overheating), gyroscope and accelerometer problems, app compatibility problems, lag, MMS bugs...stop me if you've heard these before...

USB tethering was in the portable hotspot before wireless hotspot was fixed. Once wifi hotspot was fixed the built in usb tether option was removed.
Maybe the option was removed because less people used it compared to wifi. Maybe the usb tethering was causing issues.
I'd say the best alternative for usb tethering would be to use PdaNet.

Try formating SD card (backup only what you put there) . Sometimes android data on the SD card gets corrupted and/or doesn't match the new build therefore prevents apps to install. Worth a try, easier than reflashing.
What do you mean? Copy the entire contents of the SD card to my PC, format the card, and then copy all the data back on to it?
While killing tasks isn't a good idea, preventing them from starting in the first place is another story. There's an app in the Market called Gemini App Manager that will let you configure when apps are and aren't allowed to autorun. (There are others as well, but Gemini is the only free one I know of.) I've set all unnecessary apps to not autorun on bootup, which often keeps them from constantly reopening as they would when you would use a task killer or kill them yourself.A note about apps running in the background. You don't want to kill everything. In fact, you don't want to kill any system apps or google apps (some may disagree about gapps). When you do kill them, they will at some point start back up to do what they were doing. Having to restart and possibly do everything over the app had been part way through doing when you stopped it is naturally a battery drain.
Well that sucks. I was hoping to get internet working on my Linux box. PDAnet isn't compatible with Linux yet.
What method did you use to flash?
I went into CW recovery... did the format, wipe cached, wiped davlik cache, flashed rom, then flashed gapps. (I used the latest version of gapps instead of the one from March listed in the OP of this thread). I also tried formatting the SD card... that didn't help either.
Whenever I try to download or update anything form teh market it just stops and disappears immediately or says download unsuccessful.
Please help me internet. I don't know what else to try... other than switching to a different ROM.
Battery life is actually fine if you configure things right.
