Thanks. Just had a horrible time with the 1.6 rom... ehhhhh
LOL kbussen! not trying to steal your thunder brother!
im running AOSP 1.6 from quietcblongs and using MetaMorph (available on market) to theme and morph to my hearts content. Example: Eclair icons, Eclair Dialer, Nexus Launcher, Nexus Power Widget... many many options to choose from and mess with until you get what you like.
check out the links provided for more info
how so? do you need some assistance? i am running AOSP 1.6 and cant be any happier with my phone now. its mind blowingly fast. people say the custom roms are faster than the stock rom, but ive never really been able to tell much of a difference. THIS ROM however is night and day difference. EVERYTHING is more responsive and snappier. the only thing that doesnt work is bluetooth and ive never had a use for it.
plus all the great themes and metamorphs that work on 1.6 are GREAT to have after being stuck with Sense forever.
The girl in the picture is hot....for u guys fightin' over her sake hope thats really her. I
dont blame you guys for being so eager to help....lol
So, here I go bumping an OLD A$$ thread...lol.
I need some answers please.....
1. Do you wipe all that you have done/accomplished with your current
ROM....then flash the new one?
2. Do you flash the new ROM....then wipe your phone?
3. Do you wipe your phone, put the "old stock" ROM on there....then flash
the new ROM?
4. Do you just simply flash the new ROM over the old ROM and not wipe at
all?
I've heard "ALL" of these ways being done through out this forum and the XDA forum.....I would sooooo love a consensus on which way would be the best advised
All that I have done, and put into my Hero.....I'd hate to do something tragic to it!!
Thank you all in advance!!!!

andyriot: Very glad to see you back!
Wipe, then flash the 1.6 ROM. Shouldn't have to flash back to stock, or even reboot after wiping. That's worked for me each time.
In the case of moving to a new ROM build such as 2.x.x, You need to wipe first. I tried just flashing over top of a 1.5 and it caused a lock up.
Just wipe the Main data, not your sd card.
There's a way to backup the apps. Titanium Backup is the app I believe. It works pretty well, but not all the apps on 1.5 are going to work on 1.6+ without downloading a new version.
They SHOULD be tied to your google account, so anything you've paid for you should be able to get again. (I think)
Thanks tatonka_Hero I will def look into that, as I dont' really want to have to download all my apps again....some were quite expensive!
However I am going to be flashing the Cyanogen-like 2.0.1 ROM and not this 1.6 ROM that seems to be at the start of the thread. My purpose was to gain more info on wiping...............for which I have gotten
Thanks to everyone that replied.....except of course, those sadly hitting on that lovely lady!
haha can i have your myspace? lol jk
This thread turned into a try to pick up on khaag27 thread...................................
MY TURN! jk
I might have to give the 1.6 rom a try
