Is there Dummies guide for roms?

Hi, i've followed this and it went well but I have a question.Since upgrading I can't connect with Kies anymore, I don't really need it except to get the contacts of my old Ipohne.I've tried export via Itunes to Gmail but it's not working.

Here are some alternative methods of exporting your iPhone Contacts to gmail...

If I did a factory reset would it still go back to like when I bought it?

No. A Factory Reset just removes the user files. You would still be on whichever ROM you flashed. To return it to your original firmware you would need to download it and flash it via Odin, as described in post #1, here.

No I'm afraid not. To get it back to stock you would need to flash a stock firmware.

Kies is definitely the worse software I've ever used in relation to mobile phones. Try un ticking "developer options" in settings (on phone). Having always steered well clear of Kies I'm personally not able to help much.
 
Hi, I have another quick question, sorry :) I followed the guide and all has gone smoothly and i'm enjoying the new look.However, after installing the new firmware the Orange bloatware and all my apps still remained.Is the a way to do a complete fresh install of a rom?

Cheers

There should be no carrier bloatware on your phone after flashing NEAT ROM as it is unbranded firmware.

Go to... Settings > About device > Build number.... What does it say there?
 
Hi, I have a quick question, when I did the install I noticed texting wasn't working until an hour or two afterwards.After some recent events i'm wondering if it's possible that texting functionality could be dropping in and out and some of my texts either aren't being delivered or i'm not receiving them.

Has anyone had this issue?

Thanks
