Re: New Rom for New Flasher

I did upgrade to the leaked vzw 6.1 release (and let customizations run), so my radio is 3.37.77. I believe I still would have to unlock, which I think would be with the newer unlocker because it's the gps/rev a rom?

Also, would I need to reinstall whatever programs I have installed even though I installed them to the storage card? I would think yes, because the registry would still be changing, but like I said, I'm still a total newb.

Any advice you guys could offer would be great, and I totally appreciate it! I've been following the forums here for a long while, and reading as much as I can, but a little advice goes a long way.

Thanks again!
Here is a tutorial for unlocking your phone http://www.ppckitchen.org/forums/showthread.php?t=305
Heres ImCokeMan's unlocker: http://forum.ppcgeeks.com/showthread.php?t=20370

Also heres a link to my favorite rom, NFSFAN over at XDA: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=432487


But try out a bunch of different ROMs and see which one you like best. I would also suggest Old_Man_Jenkins ROM or Dette's

Good luck!

Also yes all of your apps and stuff are uninstalled because it is basically a hard reset.
However just save the cabs on your storage card and that makes stuff a lot easier and once you learn more, do your own user customizations.
