Should I still wipe battery stats if I don't do it on a full battery?
Also, I didn't format anything in Mounts and Storage when I flashed your ROM of the previous OTA, is there a reason why I should this time?
I mean honestly you can do what you want, I just did the installation instructions because that is what works for me. If your install fails and you come back and ask why, you'll already know what I'm gonna say next. Everyone who has failed in the past installing my roms have always came back and said they fixed it by going back and doing it again following the instructions.

It's up to you though

Thanks for this post. (I attempted to PM you on XDA's site, but I don't see a sent message so I don't know if it went through) I'm new to using ROMs, etc and I want to upgrade from my rooted 2.2 to 2.3.4. I've read the posts on the XDA site and am about 80% comfortable with going through with this upgrade. However, I did not find a post with someone in the same situation as mine, so I have a few questions. I rooted my DINC in September 2010 using unrevoked. In November 2010 when the new OTA came out, I avoided it by modifying the "ro.build.fingerprint" number in the build.prop using Root Explorer. I have booted into hboot and it shows "INCREDIBLE XC SHIP S-OFF, HBOOT-0.92.0000." I go into recovery and it shows "ClockworkMod Recovery v2.5.0.5." Can you please verify that these are the steps I should take:

1. Update ClockworkMod Recovery through "ROM Manager" (Is this the right way to update it to 5.X.X.X?)
2. Backup everything through ClockworkMod Recovery (Would you recommend Titanium Backup or is CWM's recovery good enough?)
3. Undo my November 2010 build.prop fingerprint number modification. (Is this necessary?)
4. http:// forum.xda-de...&pos tcount=222 <-- Follow steps 4 and 5 from that post
5. Re-download all my apps and contacts, etc (Would ClockworkMod Recovery be able to re-install all my apps, etc or do I need something else for that?)

Is there anything else I should look for before attempting the update such as USB debugging, etc? Thanks a lot. I appreciate your help.

Edit: Got your reply on XDA. Thanks.

Ha, I seen your PM on XDA and did reply. One thing you may get by reading my PM is, you might want to back up your apps with titanium back up and then do the nandroid back up in clockwork recovery. Titanium back up allows you to restore your apps after you have your new rom and the nandroid backup allows you to restore your current rom just like it is right now just in case something goes wrong.

I'm in the process of wiping everything, and I just realized I'm only on CWM 3.0.0.7...even though I know I installed 5.0.2.0 when installing your ROM of the last OTA. As a result, I don't have an option to wipe /datadata, is that bad? And why am I back on an older version of CWM?

Edit 1: Not really anything I can do at this point, so here goes nothing...installing...

Edit 2: Derp, I'm an idiot. I didn't update to CWM 5.x, I updated to 3.0.0.7 from 2.5.0.5. My bad
I forgot how much stuff was involved in the initial setup...but it looks like it worked.

Here ya go guys, I went ahead and made a flashable that will activate native screenshot for you on this rom. Just simply drop the flashable on your sd card and flash through clockwork recovery. Don't worry about wiping anything. Just flash it. Please note that after flashing the mod your phone will take an excessive amount of time to boot on the first boot after the flash. For me it took about 3 minutes. This is only on the first boot so every boot afterwards will be normal.

You would take a screenshot by pressing and holding down the power button and tapping the home softkey and then releasing the power button. It will pop up a system notice stating the screenshot was taken and where it is stored. To view your screenshot, simply go to your gallery and select all pictures. Your screenshot will be at the very end.

Please note that if it appears to hang after you have performed the actions to take a screenshot just give it a couple seconds. Its processing and the hang is normal occasionally.

Download Screenshot Activator

Enjoy guys!

Good deal. Just make sure that you upgrade your recovery to the latest version BEFORE you make a nandroid. Nandroids made in the 3 series recoveries are not compatible with the 5 series recoveries.
What is the latest stable for AMOLED Incredibles? At the time of the last OTA I was told it was 3.0.0.7, which is why I have that one currently.
