Re: |R|6.5.5|ROM|WWE| ★ Energy "Leo" 23540/21892 |Feb 22| ★ Sense 2.5.2012 / MaxMani

I see a lot of people struggle with different problems so I just thought I would share what I do after a flash. I'm a small business (telecom) owner and need my phone to work everyday. I have used NRG ROMs for a long time and 98% of the time never have any kind of issues other than issues which are totally out of NRG's control.

First off - I never use any kind of UC loading on a flash. I just don't have that many apps or tweaks that need to be loaded. I have 3 email accounts I track on my phone. One is an exchange account the other 2 are pop3. I use Google maps, Bing and I rely on my contact list a lot. I have two 3rd party billing and time tracking programs that always work fine.

I don't use MMS or facebook integration so I never have to deal with that not working - Although it seems to me there are plenty of fixes out there for those that do.

This may seem basic or excessive to some but it has served me well.

First I back up my contacts, tasks and appointments using PIM backup. Problems have been reported, and I have had them, backing up call history, messages, speed dials or anything else.

I then do a clear storage and flash the new ROM.
First thing I do on boot is go to the weather tab, add my city, and update the weather. Then go back to the home tab, hit the clock, and change the world clock to that city. Then soft reset.
I then change my wallpaper and soft reset
Next I use PIM backup to restore my backup and soft reset.
I then add my exchange account and pop3 accounts and soft reset.
I then rearange my home screen tabs and soft reset
Next, I go to the pictures and music tabs and let it build the database, then soft reset
I then set the ringer to my son's bands newest song, set my notifications, and - thats right - soft reset

After that I load any icon packs or cabs and soft reset.

You get the idea............

I know it seems basic but either I'm very lucky not having problems or taking the extra time to go one step at a time works good for me.

Well, that's kind of a beer induced rant - I feel much better
