got a simple question here. I couldnt find the answer, so please dont bite my head off.....
I am running the stock ROM from verizon on my xv6800, and it is really slow. I want to ugrade to 23506, bc everyone seems to like it and is said to be better (and faster). Just two quick questions:
1) I have SPB Backup on my phone now, and I plan to do a backup before I flash the ROM. Will this make sure all my settings (ringers, speed-dials, wifi passwords,etc) stay in my phone? How would I put it on after I flash?
2)how do I use the RUU? I am pretty sure I have unlocked my phone, bc I remember doing a flash before, but i seem to have forgotten.

Thanks for your help,
Andy
