Reflashing Phone - what are your essentials?

[jtsystems]

Just curious what peoples essentials are on this unit?

I have been having problems with my handset for some time now, and the memory card *appears* to be corrupt.

So doing a back up of all call logs, messages etc, and going to hard reset.

I will then attempt to update it to 6.1 *wasnt working before*

My Requirements?

Internet
Sat Nav
Games
Clean Theme (like a nice subtle black)
Alarm
Back Up Utility


So What would you guys recomend for the above and what cool features/tweaks can I do with this phone?

Just read my signature.
I think most members here would agree with my choice... ;)

excuse my ignorance, but i see WWE is just the same as an HTC rom with the latest software, is this correct, no other changes?

Secondly, I currently run an 02 ROM, would i notice many differences and how would i go about getting my internet settings (Currently there is an application that retrieves these for me)

Hope you don't mind the silly question - I did read the info but couldn't be sure.

hello

i would say 2 apps i couldnt do without are no longer hosted on here but are g-alarm and g-profile found at www.ageye.de (http://www.ageye.de)

Also if you want to 'risk' flash (read this (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=381600)) 3LIT3 (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=459826) as i was running the o2 6.1 rom since release till about a month ago and although it is better than the 6.0 rom it is much faster the 3LIT3 rom is superior to the official releases that have been made. Also on the settings front i was afraid of this and made sure i had them before i flashed but then they are installed automatically in customisation (with either officail or 3LIT3).

Sat nav i am guessing that you are using copilot in which case there is a releated piece on how to do this when you download the o2 rom from their site.

Back-up utility i would say either spb backup - but i have heard of problems going over from 6 -> 6.1 roms with using backup software so i say sync up before and copy any import docs that you have on their before you go to flash.

Hope that answers the questions

Well i managed to flash the unit with some interesting measures.

Long story short, I couldn't get into boot loader (Still can't) but when i ran 02 6.1 rom RUU it took it to the bootloader (just vista wouldn't work) so after some hunting i found a driver which worked, well sort of lol.

And then it worked, well for the 02 6.1 release any way.

Tried Co-pilot still having issues,
Tried memory card files, still problems - i think my memory card is knackered and some of copilot is configured there so will explain why this is failing!

Co-pilot was on the rom, presume that if it did load i would have to re-register but think i might opt for tomtom now, was never a fan of copilot.

Other than that i ran PPCPim backup which works really well for calls logs, messages etc. had no critical documents on there but did forget to back up my pictures - oh well no real loss!

Is there a way to format an SD from the device its self?

I have got to say i am NOT impressed with 6.1 from 02 its so slow! my ringtone doesn't even play properly.

Edit jesus this is rubbish, i mean seriuosly really buggy have i done something wrong because they couldnt have put this out as RTM surely?! please some one tell me i am wrong.

My ringtone stutters for goodness sake, i clicked data connection and the connection tab is now overlaying everything and won't go away!?

Hi there, Do a Hard Reset and start over again installing your PIM backup, GPS, any other things you normally use. Your GPS setup files are on the SD card in '2577' folder. Unless you have the CD media do not format your SD card, you will lose your GPS setup files.

The problem is I cannot transfer anything else to the memory card, I cannot install apps to the memory card.

Sometimes it looks like they have transferred but when i open storage card up on the device it's just the normal settings and nothing that I have transferred.

This is limiting me hugely, I cannot put mp3's, mp4's on my phone, I
cannot install games, I am left with just the basics.

Im going to buy an 4GB card today and see if that resolves things
