Ok, so I am pretty much sick of 1.5 and have decided that my best bet to get the most out of my eris is to root to 2.1 so I have the advantages of the new OS and gain root access. But before I dive in I have a few questions.
1 - Do I need to reformat my eris before doing the 2.1 root? Currently I have Faceebook and several other apps installed as well as about 30 photos. I don't know if the phone needs to be "factory" before proceeding with the upgrade or if it matters if you have apps and photos on the device already.
2 - If I can keep the apps and photos on my device and then root/upgrade will they carry over or will they be lost in translation? Also, will my contacts and their Facebook link remain in tact or will that be "lost"?
3 - Once I do the upgrade what should I do immediately after to get the most speed and functionality out of my newly rooted 2.1 device? (Program removal, app installs etc.)
That's all I can think of at the moment. I am looking to do this soon so any help would be greatly appreciated. Any other tips and advice are welcome too.
-Cheers
