Mine would be

1. Debrand
2. Create Goldcard
3. Root
4. Partition sdcard
5. Flash GingerVillain
6. setCPU
7. Words with Friends
8. MyPhoneExplorer
9. Minimalistic Text
10. Enjoy!!!!!!

Point taken, but Wifey doesn't have a Desire to copy from.

 

[SUroot]

You do

okay, so I could just copy my nandroid backup on the PC to the sdcard [backup folder in the defrost setup??]

It's in clockworkmod/backup

okay, thanks Dan. I will give it a try. I thought it would be best to root it etc before she gets her hand on it as there is no point her getting use to Sense and then changing. Might as well do it from day one.

Can you do a nandroid backup straight out of the box? If things go pearshaped could I do a restore and this would take me back to the original rom, settings etc or is than nonsense lol?

 

[SUroot]

no you need flashed recovery (rooted) first
