How to install:

(Note: DO NOT ATTEMPT to restore using backup/restore, you will fail/brick your phone)

(Note: This update REQUIRES sprecovery version 0.99.0b. It WILL NOT INSTALL unless you have this version installed (it will error with status 154.))

-Update to the latest sprecovery using this guide if you haven't done so already.
-Download either version 4a or 4b and place it in /sdcard
-Reboot into sprecovery and choose "install"
-Select "choose ROM from sdcard" and choose either 21apps201.rom.tgz if you downloaded version 4a, or sholes_info.rom.tgz if you downloaded version 4b. (Note: you can install version 4b at any point the future over your existing image if you want the Youtube HQ hack + Swype and you've already installed Version 4a)
-It will automatically install OVER your existing image and not erase any of your settings! (You might need to resign into Google through the market after.)

(Note: THIS ROM DOES NOT WIPE /SYSTEM If you have any apps you want to save just in case (apps installed over the market don't install to /system/app, so you don't need to worry about them), please back them up before doing so (version 4a of this ROM does not get rid of other hacks such as the Youtube high quality default hack, so be wary of that fact. Also, no need to reroot or anything.)

That's it!

Credit also goes to SirPsychoS for his recovery image.

Known Issues:
-Landscape bug in app drawer still exists.
-Weather does not display properly in clock.
-Picasa syncing only works after wipe/data.
-Gmail syncing may break after installation. (WORKAROUND: Settings > Applications > Manage Applications > Menu button > Filter > All > Select the "Clear Data" option from BOTH "Gmail" and "Gmail Storage")

(Note: Version 3a and 3b will properly backup files, even if you have Version 1 or 2 installed already, no need to backup any other files)

Side-note: If you're without adb and you're trying to update your recovery image, you can download the newest .img, use ASTRO to place it in the root /sdcard directory, then use a terminal emulator like ConnectBot, or something else of the like to run:

$ su
# /data/local/flash_image recovery /sdcard/recovery-0.99.0b.img

Then reboot into recovery mode and you should be good.

Second side-note: I didn't optimize anything in optipng because that's silly as most of the pngs are already optimized.

how do i get into sprecovery mode?

how do i get into sprecovery mode?

sprecovery mode is the same thing as "recovery mode" with the sprecovery image installed. So interpret it as "reboot into recovery mode."

It shouldn't. Make sure you're not cd'ed into any directories because it has to mount and unmount partitions, and it can't if you're inside a directory it's trying to unmount, like /sdcard or /system. Also, make sure you're using the "install" feature and not backing up from a nandroid backup.

I'm nearly completed with the upgraded version. It will not wipe /system, so you don't need to worry about any other hacks you made (the ROM install will also create a separate nandroid backup).

wish you didnt remove the link to the OG rom. i deleted the one i downloaded and dont mind a wipe. wanted to try the install again. or maybe give us an estimate on when the new one will be up

[Berzerker]

New one is up! This requires the new 0.99.0b version of sprecovery! So please update!

Also, sorry for the long wait, lots of collaboration between SirPsychoS and I took place, so it was a long time in the making, but it's here!

(NOTE: Please re-read the OP. It contains different information/instructions than before)

Not choppy at all, doesn't stop OTA, and no clear notification bar. It's very easy to accomplish if you follow the steps exactly.
