When you flash a ROM it is STRONGLY recommended that you wipe both cache and data. Check out the Liberty 2.0.1 thread for the step by step process.

I've looked all over the thread and didn't find anything

OK, so you have d2 bootstraper? And the liberty rom zip file?
You'll want to boot into clockwork recovery and make a backup first. Then wipe data/factory reset (this also wipes cache, so wiping cache seperate would be redundant). Now go to mounts/storage and mount system, data and cache (the top 3 should say unmount, thats means they're mounted). Then install zip from sd and flash liberty. Then reboot system now
If this is your first time and you need help, ill be happy to talk you through it. Let me know and I'll send you my number

Oh and after I've done all that and its booted up to liberty, how do i get all my apps back to my phone? I backed up my apps using titanium backup

Yeah, wipe data (cache isn't necessary because wiping data wipes cache), then install zip from sd and flash liberty. It may take up to 5 min on the 1st boot. You then can restore all apps with titanium backup pro. Make sure you uncheck restore with google during setup so all the apps don't try to dl from the market. That will take forever

Can i still restore my apps without titanium backup pro?

I would just use titanium backup. The market usually will auto restore your apps (minus the data) If you keep the restore box checked during sign up, but it will take forever and annoy the hell out of you. With titanium, you can hit menu/batch/run restore of apps and it will allow you to choose which apps to restore (app, data or app+ data)
