Only a suggestion. Install all your program, games, and what have you to your SD card, there will be a file on card called programs.

Install carrier, connection, and virus cabs to your device. They wont be found on sd card in program folder, and in event you remove the card for working on in on pc, the settings will still be on your device.

After you install a cab, i.e current google maps to sd card, then you get your location, gps, and favs settings, when you flash to new rom, all those settings are still there, just reinstall cab, or find the launch icon on your sd card and past a shortcut of it in windows/start menu. If you have a program with settings saved, and a new rom has those programs, don't be afraid to over write them, or you will need to redo all your settings. If you find double icons in start menu, just delete the older one out of start menu.

This cab should be on sd card. Pressing power button gives you a turn screen off/shut off/reset device screen. Other options too, top right is a cog, or gear if you will. It will allow you to hard reset.
