This looks like it worked, thanks. I installed VZ Navigator for Incredible off the Market. Titanium no longer lists it as uninstalled. Am I safe to let the OTA update run from here (I don't especially care whether I lose root, I can reroot some other time if I need)?

There's a detailed guide here- http://solo.dc3.com/dinc/

Mounting /system doesn't actually mount any drive I can access on my PC.
It does. You have to move them using ADB push commands in the command prompt. But you don't have to do them at all, you can move the apps into system/app using Root Explorer.

I don't understand. But since I reinstalled VZNav from the market, I can skip 2 entirely?

I don't understand why you're stuck. If all your crapware is restored you don't have to worry about adb mounting or whatever, you can move on to step 3.

by doing nothing more than rooting and removing the Sprint junk I have seemingly doubled by battery life.

No you haven't, that's nonsense.

It's in the OP. Use TypeFresh to easily change and back up your fonts.

I just rooted my evo yesterday, and I'm trying to get wifi tether to work...My computer can see my phone, but when I try to connect, it stops on the 'Waiting for network' part of the connection. I tried reading some forumsy stuff about it but there's lots of unix talk that makes me completely glaze over. Is there some easy trick to getting wifi tether to work?

Try enabling wifi-encryption and see if it works.

A little update to this, changing the fonts back to DroidSans fixes it, changing them to helvetica again it does the same thing with all messages in Gmail being bold. What the hell. Nowhere else do I notice the wrong font. I forgot to mention in the last post, I'm using Type Fresh for this now.

You need two fonts to use, a Helvetica Regular font and a Helvetica Bold font. Are you doing this or are you using the same font for both?

Try setting your bold font to something different like Palatino Bold or something and see what happens.

For rooted DInc users - the most recent version of Virtuous ROM is the stock Incredible Sense with the new OTA update baked in. Worked like a charm for me, and avoided all the trouble of trying to get the OTA to install on it's own.

The stock kernel v4 has some amazing battery life too, the best I've seen.

Can someone running MIUI on a Nexus One go to http://aljazeera.net/ on their phone and tell me if the arabic shaping displays correctly (letters should be connected in words)?

You might be able to flash these libraries and make it work.

I'm running CM6.1 RC which does it correctly, I'm curious about MIUI but not enough to flash it and mess with it as my whole reason for using CM is arabic

There's libraries available for MIUI (added very recently, apparently)

I've had only good battery life with Virtuous. What kernel are you using? The latest stock one is good.

I use the "Full ROM" from this page: http://www.virtuousrom.com/p/download.html

Try the latest stock Kernel available in ROM Manager. I haven't got less than two days of use out of a single charge since I started using it (around 8-9 hours of awake time) on a 1300mah battery.

Virtuous is awesome, there's a lot of neat customization options he bundles with it and the kernels are second to none in terms of battery life.

They're really slow and unresponsive, they're not worth it even rooted.

LauncherPro isn't ROM-dependent afaik but you won't be able to restore any of your widgets (except LP ones), just your icons and settings.
