ORD - Obsessive ROM-Updating Disorder!

You want the best experience from the ROM - Speed/Optimized/Stability!
Follow this to the T.

1. Flash the ROM after wiping data/cache/system.
2. After reboot, don't touch the phone, screen, anything for the first 10 minutes!
- Exception - If there's a Google Start page(Like on v2.0) wait for 2 minutes, then go through the initial pages, till you reach the Home Launcher, and then let it idle for 10 minutes! (DO NOT CONFIGURE GOOGLE ACCOUNT RIGHT NOW. 
3. Reboot
4. Now, configure your Wifi(If you feel like, else 3G/2G's good), and configure Google Account and repeat the 10 minutes wait. 
5. Reboot again.
6. Now install/restore apps from Titanium Backup or whatever place you choose to from. However, avoid restoring data as much as you can! Different bases have different structures, and can cause corruption!
7. Reboot to Recovery
8. Wipe Cache, Dalvik Cache, Fix Permissions.
9. ENJOY !!! 

I have used these steps ever since Eclair on a Samsung Galaxy S Vibrant, and they've never failed me...


FIX THE BATTERY DRAIN

If its Terrible!
1. Backup your Memory SDs...
2. Format your SD Card and External SD Partition.
3. Restore just the images, songs, Titanium Backup Folder, clockworkmod backups. Avoid the other folders that can possibly contain corrupt files, specially those made by unstable apks.
4. You should have a major difference in battery life.

If its not so Terrible!

1. Go to SD Card, wipe/delete the following folders
- /sdcard/Android/Data/com.android.providers.media
- /sdcard/Android/Data/com.cooliris.media
- /sdcard/Android/Data/com.google.android.gallery3d
- /sdcard/Android/Data/com.android.providers.media
- /sdcard/AndroidThemes (Its only a backup, not required if your ROM is fine)
- /sdcard/Android/DCIM/.thumbnails
- /sdcard/Android/DCIM/100ANDRO
- /sdcard/LOST.DIR

Reboot, and let it stay for 10 minutes! (Building thumbnails etc.)
Reboot again... ENJOY!
