couple of question

[spacemanps]

okay so i rooted, and installed bugless 7.4... its nice i have it running 550mhz usually but sometimes when i am messing around a lot i bump it up to 800.. i dont use it that much and was debating going to 8.6..

i have a couple of questions about doing this...
1) will my data be erased.. (ie programs contacts etc)
2)How do i back up my ringtone data in contacts, so i have individual ring tones for contacts.. how do i back that up.



oh and on a unrelated note...

where the hell is "history" i closed a website by mistake and couldnt find a list of my recently visited sites

For history press the bookmark beside the address bar when it comes up the far right tab at the top is your history.

If you use the advanced nandroid backup method to update ROMs your data will be erased.
For more specific answers you should probably post questions in the Hacking section of this forum.
