you shouldn't ever have an issue with losing your contacts when flashing a ROM or flashing back to stock. I never have anyway

As for going to 2.1, you might have to flash back to stock (an easy procedure) before updating.

Do you uninstall a rom like you would do a app from the market?

no, you have to do it from the backup screen (hold menu and volume down keys at startup...i think lol). Then it you flash from zip. There's quite a few guides on XDA that are a lot better at explaining that I am
 
If you have Fresh 1.1 but want to try MaDaCo do you need to wipe your phone first or can you flash it over Fresh 1.1?
 
Are there pics of what everything looks like for the Fresh and the MADaCo roms?

I was on the fresh webpage but I want to see how things are different..etc.

I have yet to see MaDaCo's rom for pictures?

Thanks,

Do a nandroid backup BEFORE flashing any ROM's or making any other changes, and you can always go back to the way the phone was before you made any changes by restoring that backup. Make sure to move that nandroid backup off your SD card and onto your computer, just in case.
 
last question lol i think
How do you go back to original rom after the Fresh 1.1 installation and how do you back it up to your computer?

Again, do a nandroid backup from the recovery console before making any changes. When it's done, reboot the phone, mount the SD card, and copy the nandroid folder to your computer. Should you want to go back to that backup, simply boot into the recovery console, and restore nandroid backup.

I flashed right over my Fresh ROM 1.1 about 2 hours ago with no problems very smooth. I loaded the core MaDaCo and then added the Wave Secure & Enhanced zips. I am very thankful for all the hard work that went into making this ROM however I will be honest and say that I am ready to go back to Fresh 1.1 already. This ROM seems to hang up at times allot like the stock ROM and does not feel as fast. Maybe if I used the kitchen and deleted some of the Sprint garbage it would help however I have not paid so I cannot do that at this time. Again thanks to everyone who helped to created this ROM however my opinion is that Fresh 1.1 is still the best option right now.
 
When rooting the hero, does that change anything or not till you add the rom?
because i was wondering why you have to make a restore point after you root your hero..

you don't HAVE to, but it's recommended. Just in case you do something after rooting that you want undone. It's well worth making the backup, just in case you do screw something up after rooting.

why would you want to downgrade the recovery to 1.2.3???

either way easiest way i found to flash the recovery is to download terminal emulator from the market make sure the recovery img you want is on the root of your sd card

Open the Terminal program and type the following (with hitting enter at the end of each line):

su
flash_image recovery /sdcard/name-of-recovery.img

In the above text, replace name-of-recovery.img with the name of your recovery image (make sure the .img is on the end).​
 
well, I finally did it. Rooted and flashed the Fresh 1.1 rom. All I have to say is wow my phone is speeeeedy now. I never complained about the speed of my phone with stock, it was "ok". But I don't think I could ever go back to stock now lol. I'm lovin this! :)
