Re: Newb rom flashing question

Number two, will I lose any functionality? Particularly I am worried about Wireless Sync e-mail. Has anyone tried one of the cooked roms with Wireless Sync? Thanks so much, appriciate everyone help!

UMDL will do a hard reset after flashing; you will lose all installs. Even if you back up, it's not a good idea to restore to previously installed apps. Most back up programs will detect a different ROM and (if you allow it) attempt to back up anyway. At any rate I prefer to freshly install all apps and register changes.

I have seen no reports of ActiveSync failing to work correctly after flashing, but someone else might chime in. I have seen no reports re: VZW Wireless Sync. You will lose VZNavigator via the GPS unlock.
