Installing / First Install of 1.2+ Guide:
1) Flash RecoveryMod.zip (credit to Klothius), you won't be able to install other custom ROMs than mine (unless they use the same MTD config as I do) until you revert the RecoveryMod!
2) Reboot into recovery again, format system, data & cache in the partitions menu
3) Flash the ROM
( 4) If you get a force-close after booting, flash the fix below.)
Updating the ROM guide:
1) Just flash the ROM 馃檪
( 2) If you get a force-close after booting, flash the fix below.)
Why is the RecoveryMod necessary?
The ROM is using a modified Kernel commandline to change the partitioning, to be exact, it changes the sizes so you get more space on /data.
A custom recovery is needed, because a normal recovery would flash to wrong sectors in the NAND, so the flashed boot.img, which contains initialization scripts, wouldn't be able to recognize and read the system files.
Revert Recovery Guide:
1) Download ROM Manager from the Android Market
2) Flash the recovery via the first option in the app
3) Put another ROM on your SDcard
4) Reboot into recovery MANUALLY
5) Format all partitions except the SDCARD in the partitions menu
6) Flash the other ROM
