Fellas I'm going to try and explain myself the best I can from off the top of my head. This is a collaboration of myself and Forgetful trying to help me figure out BAMF 1.4/1.5Remix, and flashing new kernels. These are MY steps.
Prior to doing anything, these are the apps I find the most important: ROM Manager, Titanium Backup, Super Manager.
Get whatever setup you have currently tidied up nice and neat. Typically after my initial root, I went through using Super Manager and got rid of the crap I didn't want on the phone anymore (stupid things like Flashlight, Footprints, Wallpapers, etc) and moved them all into a folder on my SDCard I named TBBLOAT.
Ok, so you like the way things look on your phone? Sweet. [Personal note: I didn't want to keep using VZW Manager to restore my contacts since you can't turn it off after using it without $%@ing things up. So open your contacts, aka 'People,' and tell it to export your list to the SD card. Boom headshot! Also, tell Titanium Manager to create a backup off all user apps (not data/user data/system data or whatever its called). It'll create this on the SD card as well. Money.
Go into ROM Manager and boot into recovery. Select Backup and Restore. Select Backup. Grab a beer and enjoy while the phone backs your stuff up. If anything messes up from here on out at least you have a starting point to restore to. If you haven't downloaded your new ROM/kernel, then go ahead and tell it to reboot. If you have... well just keep reading.
Ok so you've rebooted and things are still looking sweet right? Yea buddy! Let's say you want to download BAMF Remix 1.5, and install LeanKernel 1.1 Normal on top of that. Good plan my man since thats what I did. Download what you need from the appropriate links. Lets just say you saved these files to your desktop on your computer. For my example, you'll need to flash a new radio first to use BAMF 1.5Remix, which the dev has supplied.
So currently on your desktop is the following: The new radio, the BAMF1.5Remix.zip, and the LeanKernel1.1Normal.zip. Leave em ZIPPED. Don't unzip em.
Alright friendo, plug your phone up to your computer via USB. Tell it do mount as a disc drive. Take all three of said files above from your desktop and move em' to the SD Card. Don't put them in any fancy folders. Just throw them straight onto the card. Seriously. Don't put em in 'OMG AWESOME ROMS' folder or something. Keep it simple... sir.
Alright. Lets flash that new radio.
Power down your phone (hold the power button and tell it to turn off). Don't tell it to restart, actually turn that sucker off.
Hold VOLUME DOWN and POWER at the same time. You'll boot into recovery, at which point HBOOT will look for your radio file (named something silly like P50IMG0.zip or something... someone can help me out there). It'll say "do you wanna update?"
You say yes. Grab a beer. Drink it quick because it won't take too long for the radio to update. Once it is finished, go ahead and restart your phone.
Things should be gravy and you should be rebooted right back into your homescreen. NICE!
Now if you wanna be really anal, open up ROM Manager, boot into recovery, and create another backup so you have a restore point from this point on that includes the new radio. If you wanna.
Time to install BAMF 1.5 REMIXXXXXX!!!
Open ROM Manager, reboot into Recovery. Go into clear data/factory reset. Tell it to clear it. YES CLEAR IT. I know, it sounds scary, but DJ is holding your hand. Go for it! Once that is done, tell it to clear cache. Once that is done, go into advanced and tell it to clear Dalvik too. I know the screen selection... screen looks weird when you are doing this... kinda like this:
- No
- No
- No
- No
- Yes - Clear Cache (or data... or Dalvik)
- No
- No
That is normal and its supposed to look like that.
Ok, did you clear all that stuff? You did? *high five*. Tell it you want to install a zip from the sd card. Now tell it you want to select which zip. Find the one for BAMF and select it. Tell it YES to install. Grab a beer, and watch.
Once it has finished... you can reboot here if you want (if you aren't installing the kernel)... OR...
INSTALL THAT KERNEL!
Don't reboot after BAMF has installed. Tell it you want to install a zip from the SD Card again. Now this time select the LeanKernel file and tell it to YES, INSTALL! Now once that is done NOW its time to reboot
BE PATIENT HERE (perhaps a beer again?) It took my boot screen awhile before before it actually made it to the home screen (HTC on white background, then clouds... the clouds hung for awhile, and then it finally went in like normal). You'll have to go through the setup screens like you did when you first got your phone...
Once you've gotten in, download Titanium backup from the market, and tell it to restore your apps. Once your apps are installed, if you'd like you can open ROM Manager, go into recovery, and create a backup point here (I called mine BAMF1.5RemixLeanNorm1.1STOCK). Or you can go ahead and arrange your apps and widgets according to your tastes. Import your contacts back into People. Set everything up. Make it looks pretty and THEN create a backup rom (BAMF1.5RemixLeanNorm1.1FINAL).
Thats the laymans from the top of my head. Hope I didn't miss anything.
I installed BAMF 1.5 Remix, the new radio and the kernel last night while drunk. So you guys should have no problem haha.

EDIT: Now according to this, you guys should have had around 3-4 beers while doing this. :thumbsup: :beer:
