Always make a backup before trying to install a rom. You can make a backup right from rom manager or you can do it in clockwork recovery as well

Well, by installing a custom rom, i believe you will lose the ability to recieve the OTA updates. I believe you will lose root as well. Someone please correct me if i am wrong

OK. I'll correct you. :)

Installing a custom ROM does not mean you will lose root. Quite the contrary it is necessary for the installation of the custom ROM. For the D2 you will be able to receive updates provided you have all of Verizons bloatware in place.

You need to spend some time in the D2 hacking area. I'm going to move this thread there now.

Sorry. I meant you would lose root with the OTA update. My bad.
