Install either ROM from Clockwork Recovery.

If you aren't rooted and dont have Clockwork installed, Go here: Unrevoked reflash Root/Recovery flash tool

If you are rooted and haven't yet installed clockwork, then do that. See this thread: Unrevoked reflash Root/Recovery flash tool

if you are running windows and are having difficulties with drivers for proper operation of Unrevoked Reflash, then look here for solution: Shadowf0x's custom LiveCD spin for rooting the Aria

Once clockwork is loaded:

Do a nandroid backup to preserve your current rom

Wipe Data (if coming from another rom, including CM6 or liberated_aria non-deodexed version, or to enable additional languages from previous version)

Wipe Cache

Wipe dalvik cache (advanced > wipe dalvik cache)

Install liberated_aria_R00*_signed.zip from sdcard

NEW: To install WWW/Asia (not for US) Region Update:

Follow normal install instructions

After installation of ROM, install: la_www_update_R002_signed.zip containing www version update

To Enable A2SD:

Backup your applications

Backup your sdcard

Partition your sdcard with ROM Manager with an ext partition option. (ROM manager is in Market)

This should start a special mode of clockwork recovery, which will partition the sdcard.
