Installing ROMs through Recovery Mode

[TBolt2011]

I've done the kernels from ROM Manager, and that was pretty self explanatory; confirm a few things, make a back-up, and let it install itself.

That being said, I want to try VirusROM, and don't know what to do other than download it on to my SD Card. What are the next steps?

Also, where can I (or can I at all?) get Virus from? I just tried to follow the link from the thread about it in this forum and it brought me to an "invalid page."

Try a Google search. I'm sure a link will pop up for the DL. Here you go

Couple things: Idk what to download from there in order to keep it looking somewhat like sense. Do I need both a main ROM DL, and then the DL from the second post (ADD SENSE)?

Also, will installing a custom ROM wipe my data again? =/

download the rom, put it in the root of your sd card, reboot the phone in recovery mode, wipe your cache partition, dalvik cache, and full wipe, then choose install zip from sd card, choose zip from sd card, and select the rom. if you want the sense package, flash that after you flash the rom, and then reboot, and you should be good.

this will wipe your data (the part where you did the full wipe), and you need to do that between flashing different roms, like you are doing now, going from sense to virus.

edit
and if you cant find virus rom go to xda forums, thunderbolt developement, and find the virus rom thread and there will be a link there.

Darn it, that's what I thought.. Could I just move all of my downloaded apps from my phone to my SD Card, and xfer them back after using the same method as I used for removing Bloat? I'm sick of manually telling auto-correct what I need it to know, too! >.< Lol

If it can't be done, it can't be done; but if there's anyway around setting up my phone for the fifth time, that would be nice too. Ha

Titanium back up... then you can restore some things back

I just will have to redownload that, and then I'll be able to access backed-up info right from the app, even after the wipe?

You can then restore data, apps etc. Some ROM's include a copy of it preinstalled.
