Pre-Flashing Tasks?

[Guest cjb110]

I'm about to try flibblesan's 2.2 rom, and was wondering about the following:

1) If I'm using AppBrain does that keep a list of my apps? I.e. I can just install that and then install the apps I had from there?

2) What should I wipe via clockwork? Everything?

3) What about the SD card? There's some stuff that I put there, like music, wallpaper etc...but there's a lot of other stuff too, should I clear all that before flashing?

4) Also do I need to format the SD card to EXT3/EXT2/FAT for the apps2sd to work properly? If EXTx what's a good tool to do this? Windows 7 or Android?

This is all elsewhere in the forums I think, but to save you time:

1) I don't use it, but I don't think so. Use Titanium Backup to back all your apps and data up to SD card.

2) Wipe cache and data, if you're going from 2.1 to 2.2 you don't want to have any old stuff lying around from the old version.

3) You can probably leave your other stuff on the SD card and it shouldn't matter. Copy it to your PC first if you're worried.

4) If you're using the SD card it came with you shouldn't need to reformat.
