Hey there.
First things first - bug me anytime

It may take a while sometimes, but I'll get back to you eventually lol
RE - the bloatware -

Have a read, and ask away if you have any questions.
RE - apps on the SD card -
You'll have to use option #3 for this. The Option #2 ROM was just a more friendly copy of the leaked ROM, and nothing extra was added except a proper root. In a nutshell -
Copy EVERYTHING on your SD card to a folder on your computer.
Verify that it copied

Reboot into recovery, and make a Nandroid backup.
Verify the backup
In the recovery menu, enable mass storage mode.
Copy the Nandroid folder from your SD card (it has your new backup) over to the PC.
Disable mass storage mode.
In the recovery menu, open the options to format your SD card.
Select 0 (zero) for the size of the swap partition
Select the size of your applications partition (ext). I recommend 768 MB
The rest will be formatted as a normal partition visible when you mount your phone to the computer.
When it's finished, enable mass storage mode again.
Copy back all the data from the first step to your SD card.
Copy the Nandroid folder back to your SD card.
Copy the option #3 ROM over to your SD card.
Copy any of the add-ons you want to your SD card.
Back in the recovery menu, in the data wipe section -
wipe EVERYTHING. Ignore errors about wiping dalvik via adb, it's a bug in some older versions of the recovery image. They get wiped, but the wrong message gets displayed.
Next flash the option #3 ROM.
Then flash any add-ons you would like, and reboot.
It takes a l-o-n-g time. When it boots back up, your apps will now be stored on the SD card.
Of course, any questions, just holler.
