awesome, thats what i was wondering... just how much was already accomplished when i loaded droidmod...
i did notice on the SmokedGlass thread it said i have to perform a wipe device

"You DO have to Wipe Data & Cache if coming from Android 2.0.1 (ie. Smoked Glass v5.0.1) You will be prompted to do so during installation."
does this include wiping the SD card as well, or just the phones memory
if it doesnt include the SD card
then what all would i need to back up?

still somewhat new to Android, but correct me if im wrong
contacts and calendar are stored in my gmail account, so no need to back those up,
my apps can be backed up using one of the file explorer programs to the SD card, then reloaded using the same program after i flash the new rom...

thanx again for all the help
