Q&A in Post 2
Installation/Update Instructions
# Although this ROM installs the official Sprint OTA 2.89 ICS base, by default it will install the 2.17 kernel for compatibility with HBOOT 1.4 & up. The 2.89 kernel requires that you have HBOOT 1.58 S-OFF or you will get stuck in a bootloop! If you want to use the 2.89 kernel you may have it extracted to the SOS folder on your SD card during installation then flash the kernel after the ROM is installed and you have upgraded your HBOOT to 1.58.
# It is recommended that S-OFF users upgrade their firmware to 2.89.651.2. Freeza's new firmware bits can be found at... http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1673377/ People who want to use the 2.89 kernel should flash the firmware version that includes HBOOT 1.58. There is also a version that does not include an HBOOT for users who only want to upgrade their firmware/radio. You should not upgrade your HBOOT if you want to use the default 2.17 kernel but you should update your firmware/radio.
# If you are S-ON, (HTC Dev Unlocked), and you were previously running an ICS ROM from the VM leak, chances are this ROM will boot for you using the 2.17 or other kernel. (4EXT Recovery recommended).
# It is assumed that you know what you are doing when it comes to upgrading your firmware and flashing kernels. If you are unsure of your ability to do these things then it's best to play it safe and stick with the default 2.17 kernel. We are not responsible if something misfortunate should happen to your phone, use caution when performing these processes.
# A Full Wipe is highly recommended when coming from any ROM other than MeanROM using a 2.89 base. That goes for versions of SOS M prior to 2.6 as well. There are also instances where "dirty flashing" the same version will bring about strange behavior that will not be encountered with a Full Wipe. Before flashing, you should backup your user Data using a program such as MyBackup or Titanium and make a Nandroid backup of your current ROM. Once you have backed-up everything you may immediately return to this installer. You will be given the option whether or not you want your Data partition formatted, then SOS M Super-Wipe script will automatically format and optimize your phone's partitions for you prior to the actual installation. If you run into any problems or strange occurrences after flashing this ROM, make sure you select "Super-Wipe Data" and flash the ROM again before reporting or discussing these issues.

Bugs
- AOSP MMS.apk does not send MMS messages - (all other features of the app work fine) - Use HTC MMS.apk for fully functional MMS app.
- If you are using Google Now, there are the typical bugs associated with this app. Remember, the version(s) we are using have been modified to work with ICS. This is a W.I.P. and it gets better with every release.
AROMA Installer provides 1000's of installation possibilities. This ROM takes "user customization" to a completely different level! It is up to you, Swag Nation, to help perfect this ROM... Let us know what we can do to make it even better!
Please report all bugs to Team Swag (swagstr | DJarkIV | torzak | steveyos) via the XDA thread, the SOS Thread[/url], Twitter or Gmail. Be sure to tweet about SOS ROMs with the hashtag #SWAGROM.
