They are the questions I am dwelling on at the moment, I am sure I will think of more though!!! Thanks for now

well i know from using the tp2 port (2.01 i believe) that the lock screen had two options. slide the lock image from left to right to unlock, or slide the sound icon from right to left to toggle between speaker, vibrate and silent. however the sense lock screen is entirely different and i am not positive if you can adjust your speaker setting from it.

i too would really like to know whether you need root acces for skinning/themeing the os. i have read/heard yes and no answers but have not found difinitive proof, but most of what i read did point to needing root access.

as far as backups go, i have no idea on that...
