About the risks... the only comfort I can offer is that when it goes wrong, it is typically called "soft bricking", which means you can try again and eventually get it right. The best thing to do is get the titanium backup app, and backup the original ROM that your phone has. Make sure there are success stories already with your phone model (youtube is great for the walk-throughs). Take a leap of faith. It all begins with an upgrade to the firmware called ClockWorkMod Recovery. This gives you a text-based menu to format the internal SD, and choose the ROM you are about to install (previously copied to your phone over usb). ~Roger _______________________________________________ use-livecode mailing list use-livecode@lists.runrev.com Please visit this url to subscribe, unsubscribe and manage your subscription preferences: http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-livecode
