Hmmm, I guess I was not clear, I am rooted and have cwm. Do I not need to change my base and if I'm on hc 3.2.1 before I go to kit kat? I am pretty sure I read that I need to update some stuff? I can just flash kit kat straight from hc?

Thanks for this ROM - my install went very smoothly. In case it helps anyone here is what I did - none of it required fastboot or adb:
Stating Point: Skrilax's V8 Bootloader, Thor's 1.7.3 Recovery, Randomblame's 4.3 JellyTime Release 1 (great ROM BTW). All the needed files (new recovery, OmniIROM, gapps, SuperSU) downloaded to my external sd card.
Step 1: Reboot into existing recovery and flash Thor's TWRP rev 2.0 beta 1 recovery. Reboot and make sure I could load my existing JB ROM.
Step 2: Reboot into the new recovery, go to wipe menu and choose Factory Reset.
Step 3: Flash OmniROM from OP, reboot. I did not have the issues others are having and was able get into the new ROM in less than a minute.
Step 4: Enabled developer options so I could reboot from the power menu (not necessary but convenient), reboot into recovery and flash the minimal gapps from the link in the OP. Reboot and make sure I could still boot into OmniROM.
Step 5: Reboot into recovery one more time and flash SuperSU from the OP
I had some trouble getting into the play store at first, it seemed to hang but after two more reboots (after first reboot I was able to load the play store and after the second I was able to access my apps) I was able to install TB so I could reinstall the rest of my stuff.
Maybe this methodical install one thing, reboot and make sure everything is working ok before rebooting to install the next is overkill but in the end it all worked for me.
Looking forward to using this ROM on my A500. Thanks again for all your hard work and keeping this tab alive!

Well I reinstalled W7 and everything went great until, I didnt follow directions on the rom I was trying to flash. I am ICS bootloader unlocked now and I have V8 installed but now I cant get into recovery. I am able to get in to a different menu which says I can boot into recovery but all it does is says booting recovery kernel image. I went in to fastboot mode and used fastboot command fastboot reboot recovery and it didnt work, I do have the drivers installed for fastboot but I think I am missing something small probably. Any help would be appreciated. I wiped system in recovery and flashed Evil Alex rom, then read the directions like an idiot, this is way different than all the phones.
GOT IT! duh, all I had to do was reboot into APX mode manually and run the flash tool again and then the most important part as ALWAYS READ THE OP of the rom you are flashing!
Hehe if all else fails reading the directions will do the trick...pleased u got it sorted
