Unleashed 2.5! Blur-Be-Gone Spray for all those annoying bugs!

[Matt4542]

This is a re-release. The reason the last release was pulled was because things that I did not notice during testing were happening. Various applications were crashing and other bugs. Sorry for the issues.

Thanks:
Webst3r for helping me with the original black bar port.
JRummy16 for helping me with the services.jar
RobStemen for the amazing boot animation
tgwaste for the framework-res.apk and the custom icons(vibrate and the battery) and the MMS icons for better look on the black status bar.
To all my beta testers in the #epicrom IRC(If you go to the IRC and are there regularly you will be able to get pre-releases or beta releases of the rom to try and test and report bugs back to me)

Changelog:
Bug fixes
New black notification bar
Updated stock applications

What is included:
Black notification bar.
HTC Clock Widget
Motoblur mostly removed
Modified messaging application(Credit to Cyanogen)
Chips-Ahoy Cookies

If anyone posts a fix below in the responses please do not attempt to use it or do anything with it until I confirm it is a legitimate fix or if it will do damage to your device.

I hope you enjoy!

So I followed the instructions on the Unleased 2.0 thread. I think I did everything but when I installed from SD card in Rom Manager it rebooted and looked like it was installing, then it rebooted again and it's still the stock Rom? What did I miss?

Yeah, same here, except it was for the Epic 1.1, and I just tried the 2.5 seems like the stock OS is still there.

UPDATE: So If I followed instructions to the T I would not have this issue. I forgot to "mount /system" in recover mode. After doing so, installing the ROM worked like a charm.

I actually got it as well. Awesome job man. Only question. My phone contacts don't show up. If I make a new one I can link it to another contact but it still doesn't show up when you sport by phone contacts.

I've been monitoring your ROM since your initial release. Especially since I hate bloatware on my phone, so I was really excited to see how this would go. I'm very pleased with this release. You are doing a great job!

I assume you use backup assistant. I have the same issue. It seems removing backup assistant removes phone contacts? I have my google contacts, but not my verizon contacts.

Also, anyone notice that it is much harder to long-click an app on the home screen and drag it to either side? Perhaps the tolerance values for moving apps need to be a little more relaxed?

Just to be clear, this epic update is for the droid 2 right?
