This is version 2.1a ROM.
If your happy with what you have (2.1), then you really do not need to update. However if you want this latest ROM..... Then feel free! I reccomend a full ROM flash! e.g. Erase IDB. But in my testing I also found you can do a CWM restore and it will work! Boot.img has not changed. Parameter file also did not change. Only system.img changed! So if you do a CWM backup, flash this ROM erasing IDB, let it come to the desktop, reboot into CWM, then do a restore.... It works fine!
2.1a adds the following to the ROM:
- This adds more /system space for rooted APPS. I found if you tried to install EVERYTHING from APP Injector, the system space filled up and not everything got installed! So really if you like to put things in /system liked rooted apps, you need this extra space!
- APP Injector package updated with all the latest APP updates from Google! No more updates cloging your system! Realize when you update a Google App that was installed in /system, it leaves the original in /system and puts the update in /data. Thus cloging you up a little (wasted NAND (disk) space).
- SU and SuperUser.apk updated to the latest.
- New WPA_Supplicant Binary for support connecting to ADHOC WiFi Networks (for tethering to a phone etc).
The new ROM download has been updated in the link below. You will know you have the new ROM if the file name says:

Hi Folks So here is my 2.1 ROM with BETA 2 of ClockWork Mod.
2.1 is really my 2.0D with all of the fixes found to date and I have added CLockwork Mod. Now the testing of CWM was odd I must say. Most it worked for. Some had problems which I cannot repeat myself. It works for me 100%. Heck I can even flash 2.1 and restore 2.0 with no problems at all and visa versa.
Remember though. If you backup say 2.0 and flash 2.1 and try to restore 2.0, YOU WILL be back on 2.0 if you do a full restore! This is because it writes boot.img and system.img BACK! THis is in fact how CWM is suppose to work folks! If you want to try a "advanced" restore and restore your data and setting you can try it. Do an advanced restore and ONLY restore data and cache. If it does not work well... thats the way it goes! CWM is never a 100% gaurentee when you try to restore from different ROMs.
Now for those that dont want to use CWM.... Don't! It will not effect how the ROM works at all! Just on first boot after flash you will get the CWM menu. Select reboot now. DONE... you will never see CWM menu again unless you want to.
Want to know more about what CWM is? Read this:

Also in the new APP Injector package is Petrus' reboot app. Install this if you want to reboot into recovery from the OS. Other apps wont do it for reasons I have gone into before. It's how Arnova decided to remove support for recovery from the kernel.
And more good news! I got permission from the maker of Button Savior! So that is now cooked into the ROM as a system app

OK for those that do not know what 2.0 is and want to know before flashing 2.1 which again is 2.0 with fixes and CWM, please read this post:
Now last tidbit. Again this does not support 3G sticks. I have explained why many times. I am using the latest Arnova 10 G2 "philly" kernel. This kernel has fixes in it that in my opinion are needed over what the old 10 G2 kernel had. BUT when Arnova made this kernel they killed 3G stick support. I have tried to make this 2.1 ROM using the old kernel but it has major problems with the honeycomb framework. So I will do my best to try more to get 3G sticks working but there is no gaurentee! Sorry but dont blame me for this. Email Arnova and tell them to fix the kernel.
Ok with all that said, here is the 2.1 ROM:
ROM -> Arnova 10 G2 - "GingerComb" Finless 2.1a CWM ROM (215 megs)
