Which ROM is right for me?

I can't flash those xonia recoveries since the shell says it cant'f find specified directory blah blah blah
IS the /sd card supposed to be made? I just put all the junk in the root folder.

/sdcard means the sdcard root directory.
If you can't see it, have recovery re-format the card, copy the file to it and try again (be sure to backup your data first).
You can install a recovery from inside a rom..

Please, stop with Rom Manager. DON'T USE IT!
If I only had a dollar every time someone had questions about it, for something supposedly so easy it sure creates a ton of issues.
Su doesn't work for me
I got there by booting the vhd, and then going to the terminal.
I had a similar problem getting su to work once, I just don't remember how I fixed it.
I think I installed a fresh emulator, but I could be wrong.

If anybody has a Question about ROM Manager send them here The Truth About ROM Manager - Android Forums .This will clear up all the fears and speculation about ROM Manager which is a very good app for letting you do quite a few things with just one click from ROM Manager all the way thru to rebooting into ROM,including flashing Harmonia_1.6.1c_Edify.zip(it's really the only supported ROM that you can flash from ROM Manager thanks to the changes you made.) The problem with most people is lack of knowledge brings about confusion and fear of the unknown. So instead of telling them to stop using it, enlighten them.
They also expect it to do everything for them, which it won't and when things go wrong, they don;t know how to deal with it, or it makes a bigger mess.
I'm not saying it's a bad program, but it has a long, bad history with the OV.
If Harmonia works, so should Bumblebee and Sliderom.
So I am assuming this emulator is the Windows one right? Or was I supposed to run the emulator from the market place 
?
Edit: Tried it via phone, it couldn't find it or something.

Try The BACKside ROM it has been updated to allow even the owners with the "S" screen to flash it,and everything works(with the exception of a small glitch or two). For more ROM's that might be able to be flashed for the "S" screen go here https://github.com/inferiorhumanorgans/android_device_lge_thunderc/wiki/Binary
So I ran root checker to make sure my root is right and it said busy box is not installed. I try to install it and it says there are multiple busy boxes, and that I need to "fix it on my end".
Try using the one from the market. The one I use is "Android Terminal Emulator",it's also provided with most IHO CM-7 ROM's. Make sure you have a good,uncorrupted flash_image and recovery for the screen you have(if you have an "S" screen then go here http://forums.androidcentral.com/op...black-screen-custom-recovery-custom-roms.html ). Downloading them from the PC. Unzip them. Rename the recovery you plan on installing to recovery.img, then transfer everything to your phone.So I am assuming this emulator is the Windows one right?

When you first open up the terminal emulator type in su then hit the enter key. Superuser will ask you to allow or deny( If it does not ask this and you get a $ after typing in su,then you are not rooted). Allow. (Thanks to jdcnosse for this info) then hit the menu button and select "Toggle soft keyboard". Type in this: If you already see su you don't need to type it in again.
su(return)
mount(SP)-o(SP)remount,rw(SP)-t(SP)yaffs2(SP)/system(SP)/system(return)
cat(SP)/sdcard/flash_image(SP)>(SP)/system/bin/flash_image(return)
chmod(SP)755(SP)/system/bin/flash_image(return)
flash_image(SP)recovery(SP)/sdcard/recovery.img(return)
reboot(SP)recovery(return)
(SP)=this is were the space should go. Do not type this.
(return)=do not type this. Just hit the enter key(the one on the bottom right)
6. You should now be in your recovery. To scroll use the up/down volume keys. To select use the camera key if you flashed the asopCWMod recovery, or either the menu key or the home key if you flashed xionia recovery(if you choose one and it makes the screen go blank just hit it again and then use the other). This first thing(and most important) you need to do is go to the backup and restore section and select backup(this will make a backup of your current system in case you make a mistake with the ROM install).
EDIT: Now that your Rooted you must never use the "Factory reset" option the is found in the privacy setting on the phone. You can only use the one in the recovery.

With a file manager like E.S. File explorer or Supermanager go to /system/bin and check and see if Busybox is there(you should see a bunch of files that say busybox in small print in the middle of the name of the file and the date/permissions). If not in the bin go to /system/xbin and check there. If you have Busybox in both places go back to the one that doesn't have the su file(the premissions on the su should be: rwsr-sr-x or rwxr-xr-x) in it,and delete those Busybox files.I don't know of a faster way, other than one file at a time.
EDIT:If su doesn't have the right permissions(this happened to me) then download SuperManager(I think there are a couple more that will do this but I'm unsure which). Go to settings and check the ROOT function box. Then select where your Busybox binary's are. Then scroll down and check "Show Hidden File. Go back to menu and select file explorer. Hit the back button twice to get to the level were the system folder is. Select the system folder. A window will pop up,select rw. Your su folder should be in the /system/bin if not it will be in /system/xbin. If the permissions are not as mentioned above then go to the taskbar and scroll right to left until you see the three red 7's. Make sure the su folder is checked then select the icon with the three red 7's.
change the permissions to the above mentioned.

If you're using this one: https://market.android.com/details?id=jackpal.androidterm
Then all you have to do to get the keyboard back is hit menu, then "toggle soft keyboard" and it'll pop back up. I frequently toggle my keyboard off while I'm doing something like "ls" so I have more screen real estate.
It has a long bad history because of lack of knowledge on what works,and doesn't work for the "V". I've spelled this out so there won't be anymore confusion. People are going to continue to use it,it would be better to educate them and the "V" community so that there will be no more semi-bricking due to lack of knowledge and the resultant confusion that follows.The reason why Harmonia works is it's now compatible with the ClockWorkMod recovery's. Bumblebee still isn't ,although I will have to try SliderROM. ROM Manager is designed to work with the ClockWorkMod recovery's and will not work(Tested this with the xionia recovery) with the others.
I've tried flashing Bumblebee and your older version of Harmonia using the CWMod recovery's and was not happy with the end result of all sorts of system glitches.They flashed better using the xionia recovery(something to do with the scripting I'm guessing ,which you fixed in your newest update of the Harmonia ROM)
Check out my thread on "The Truth about ROM Manager" you will be surprised to see all the things it can do for the "V", and I still need to figure out a few more of it's capabilities.

Thanks! I nearly fainted when I finally saw the recovey screen after so many tries
Now comes the fun part. Finding and flashing a ROM or two or three..............
P.S. Don't forget to go into your recovery to the "backup and restore" section and select Backup. This will make a Nandroid backup(total) of your system in case you have any more problems. I always leave the last ROM backed up before I flash a new one just in case I don't like it or it has to many Glitches.
If you want to delete a backup after the new ROM has settle in nicely then go to clockworkmod folder on the sd card and go to the backup folder.
If you are thinking you would like to try ROM Manager then go here The Truth About ROM Manager - Android Forums before attempting to use it. It really is a very cool app,and can do a lot more than most people realize. I would hold off on buying the premium version until there are more ROM's on it than the two outdated ones available. Unless of course you would like to show you appreciation to the dev.

Yeah I backed up my current rom and installed IHO. Damn Gingerbread has a nice UI (smartphone newbie here).
Question, I noticed the Cyanogen options included "allow application moving" Is that generally safe to turn on or do some apps hate being on the SD card?
