Thanks Weedahoe! I have bookmarked the UTstar link for future reference, and I have also downloaded everything I could find on there
I have cooked up a rom using Helmi's newest kitchen (1.0.4) and flashed it to my phone.
EVerything went smooth, and once it was over, I did a hard reset and once the phone booted it went into the "customization" mode. I let it do that, and it loaded all the verizon stuff as usual. I installed the wirelesswebsync proggy and it worked perfect! All my contacts and PIM stuff synced up very nicely.
I loaded the phone up with a bunch of apps from the kitched just for trying, man this thing can do alot! I was tickled to death about all the new goodies.
My next question would be, if I were to attempt to do my own custom ext rom with all my settings saved and stuff, would it be possible to flash the ext rom back to verizon stock? are those cabs located on UTstar.com?
