Few questions

[Guest tabor56]

I have a few questions because I am having problems with my Pulse freezing with the 2.1 Hungary ROM.

1. Which is considered the most stable ROM to use, out of 2.1 t-mo, 2.1 Rooted ROM or 1.7 MDC Rom?

2. If I rooted my phone can I replace the pre-installed apps with apps from market (e.g use different media players, home screens as default).

3. When I try to install a custom ROM i put my phone into the mode with blue screen and it wont be recognised by my PC (windows 7 and snow leopard) even though its fine when I usually connect it.

4. How safe is the Huawei update to revert to 1.5? has anyone successfully done this?

Thanks in advance for your help.

1. Any ROM is good. But I recommend either FLB-Mod or the Oscillation ROM, just cos I like vanilla. Use Pauls ROM if you want T-Mobile style (I use FLB just now.)

2. Yes, but you don't need root for that.

3. Have you installed the recovery image yet?

4. It should be safe, I haven't used it, but other people will have.

Hope I helped you out :)

I also have a couple of questions, but they are about backups.

I'm wondering what you'll have to do to back up contacts and calendars.

I can't get my PC-suit to work properly, I don't know that it is, but I just can't back up contacts or calendars.

On the other hand are all my contacts synced to my google-account and my iCal-calendar (Mac) is synced with Google Calendar, is that enough to keep it safe when flashing a new ROM?

And if i make a nandroid backup of 1.5 will that contain the contacts? (in case I'd like to go back)

Syncing to google contacts and google calendar is the simplest and best way to keep them safe.

Sync never failed me :)

Ok, so they should automatically return to my phone as soon as I enter my Google account username and password on my newly flashed phone? :)

I'm a bit afraid of my contacts disappearing, heh.

Yes they will. Even the photos and all contact data. You should know, that google is responsible for the android OS and also gmail and gcalendar, so it's no surprise the sync is smooth between them :)

You write this beause you never tried to sync Exchange contacts with a WinMo device :)

I've started to update my phone.

From 1.5 original to (no root) to oscilliation.

I am making a nandroid backup of 1.5, should i choose nand backup or nand + ext backup? :S

Oh well, those rules truly do not apply to Microsoft products!

If you used A2SD than you should do nand+ext backup, or else you would have to reinstall all your apps after restore - since those are located on the ext partition in case of a2sd.

Wrong....I think Paul while back ago was discussing about this and he say ed that we should do ONLY Nandroid back up and it is logical buy me....if you are using a ROM with A2SD the app is on SD so if you are flashing new ROM which have A2SD also he will recognize the app's on SD without any problems (that was the case with me, I did only Nand back up and when I reverted to Nand back up ROM the app's from SD was still there and working normally).

I tried one time with Nand + ext back up and my phone crashed in the middle of restoring the back up.
