New HTC touch pro

Mur · #1 (**permalink**) 08-14-2009, 01:20 AM

Hey, I just got a HTC touch pro (CSMA) today and i have been fiddling with it all day and i want to do some tweaking with it before i load it up with all the programs i want.

I was wondering if anyone can give me a few pointers on what I should do to it or what programs you suggest to load on it?

I am also wondering how to make a backup of the rom i have because i think i would like to see if i can upgrade it.

Just to say, i have a good understanding about computers so you can lay it on me ;p

just to ask, what rom would be best to flash to and is there any reason(s) not to flash?

Reasons NOT to:
-Hard resets, want to get a back up program. Not for the lazy. =p
-You have to flash back to a stock ROM if the phone breaks and you want to take it back.

Can't think of much more..

Reasons to:
Can save battery life
Can speed up phone
Can look better
Can have WinMo6.5 if you wish.

If you're talking about something like Ghost or any other imaging software like for a PC, there isn't one that works well enough.

Consider a reflash like a reformat and you'll do well.

There's stock ROM links in the Upgrades section. If you're really paranoid, just google how to dump the stock ROM off a WM phone, it's not tragically hard... Once you've dumped the stock ROM, have at it.

I keep my "must have" programs on my storage card. Things like a registry editor, total commander and the pimmbackup.exe along with my latest contacts backup. That way if I wanna download and try out a rom, I have my must haves at my fingertips! I think I flash too often for a backup program. Oh, and I keep my latest rom in \storage card\ruu\raphimg.nbh so I can go back to my rom after trying another...
