When I tried to update to the latest Cyanogen build, it was laggy and nonresponsive as hell. I tried like 4 different times to get it functioning and got no where. So finally in the end, I backed my sd card up to my pc and formatted/repartitioned mt sd card and just put the 2 files needed for the update on the sd card. When I flashed this time, it was fast. VERY fast. from there I copied some of my files back over, but a lot of them were just old updates to previous builds I have used and a ton of themes. From there I started trying to port over a new theme. But in the end, I gave up since while everything on the theme was working correctly, it was causing FC's on some of my highly used google apps. (gmail and market) I am gonna work on another one tonight or possibly just start from scratch and build my own since I feel comfortable digging around in the files now.

I am trying to get the template for 4.1.99 but nothing so far and I don't know how to make one yet. Maybe I should just learn that

I got the 4.1.99 template. I am gonna start working up a theme tonight. Will more than likely have a lot of the stuff from Ted's hero theme. I like the look of his, but the port didnt go well. So I am gonna just put in what I want in.

KnowFear - The reason that you had problems with lagging on the new cyanogen rom 4.1.99 was because you most likely did not erase the contents of your Ext2/Ext3 partition. This has been know to cause hellacious lagging on the latest build. By repartitioning the card, you removed and recreated the partition so a clean build coulkd be made.
I have read that one of the themes for 4.1.999, called Dark Dream has some SPL issues.
