Q: What all to do before flashing?

[xetaman]

Hi,

I'm thinking of flashing out of Ahman's Hybrid firmware to that by DAGr's. Now I have been using Ahman's for a few months now and there's a lot of stuff on the phone. So I'm wondering how to save and restore my phone to it's current state after the flash.

I've been through the stickies and there's not much help there. The obvious things I'm doing are to:
.Backup my contacts and stuff using MPT
.Back up sms/calendar using backupandrestorenow

But that's about it. What happens to the java applications (mostly on the mem card) and the applications I have installed using mpkg? There are a few that I downloaded directly using GPRS and I have no copies of, like, Opera Mini Beta.

Anyone providing, say, a checklist for the things to do before/after flashing, and related applications to do so, will be highly appreciated. Maybe that can be added later to the "flashing your moto" sticky.

Thanks.

nothing happens to anything on the memory card...the mpkg files too aren't affected...
as for the files u have downloaded via gprs, i guess there should be copies of them lying around ion this forum or the a1200 forum
