I don't know if this is affecting others but every time I tried to view a PDF the PDF viewer would force close. I used TB to uninstall it and installed adobe reader so I could still view pdfs. This is on the 11-14 rom.

Ok sorry I must have done something wrong, but I started all over again with a different sd card and it did seem to work as it should. So now if I update to Froyo, will I be able to follow this same process to revert back and get the phone rooted again? Will it work with the current 3.30.651.3 version of the stock ROM?

Thanks,

You have a couple options that I am aware of that work quite well. There is an app called Titanium Backup that has many options for backing up items. But the option to backup apps with data is the way to get you apps reinstalled on a new ROM and it includes all of the data associated. Another option is an app called My Backup and it is a very nice option as well with the ability to back up apps and or just your data and settings like bookmarks and such.

And there is a way to update without losing your information, but it may or may not result in a few little bugs since it is not the suggested way of installing a new ROM. If you use the stand alone version on the ROM you would just put the zip on the root of your SD card. Boot into recovery and use the "wipe" option to wipe your cache and davlik cache, but don't wipe data/factory reset. Then return and use the "Flash zip form sdcard" option and choose the zip of this ROM that you just copied. In my case at least, this does not delete all of your apps. But you might want to perform a nandroid backup the first time just to be sure, if you are afraid of losing something extremely important.

Oh no that options seems risky for a noob. Those apps I bet they're not free :(.. I would just fully wipe and start from fresh on the new rom but thing is a new update comes out everyweek and I'd have to do this again. Guess I'll stick with 3.29 unless 3.30 gives my phone a better signal........

The latest rom greatly improves battery life and is a smaller footprint so gives you alot more internal memory. Worth the upgrade. If you wipe just the system cache and the davlik cache you will still have your apps and data on the phone and you should have a trouble free upgrade with the stand alone rom.

Issue has been resolved and a flashable patch has been uploaded HERE

**On a side note..I have never used the PDF viewer but as a comparison I downloaded the Adobe Reader from Market and compared it to the included PDF Viewer and was blown away by the Adobe Reader. It starts almost instantly and has much faster load times and smoother scrolling and zooming. Would you guys be interested in having the PDF Viewer swapped out for the Adobe Reader??**

Works for me, I wouldn't mind the Adobe Reader.

Re: [ROM] 11/14/10 | SPRINT LOVERS | 2.2 | 3.30.651.3 | Radio/Wimax/PRI All-In-One

So, can someone answer me as to HOW much memory the version before the 11/14 ROM had free? it appears the 11/14 ROM is only different in a few cosmetic changes and MAYBE a smaller FOOTPRINT but I want to see what the actual size difference is.

Also if I install this version over top of the last version, will programs double? I ask this because I had a OCTOBER ROM and I installed the 3.30 version over top and a lot of programs doubled. I know its not recommended to do what I did but I didnt want to erase everything...
