Root Possibly flashing rom for the first time

I am thinking about either MikG v 2.56, MikRom Supersonic 3D Beta EVO 4g or that htc runnymede with sense 3.5

Question 1. Will I lose all of my downloaded apps and settings? Example Angry Bird progress, Splashtop connection, Plex settings.

Question 2. Will I lose wireless tether feature and 4g?

Question 3. Any way to back up and save text and voice mail so they will still be there after flashing rom? I know this is silly but I like going back to text to see what someone said earlier.

I am so afraid to have to lose everything.

Not if you back them up via titanium backup

Question 2. Will I lose wireless tether feature and 4g?

You will NOT lose wireless teather, but at this time the 3.5 ROMS do not have 4G

Question 3. Any way to back up and save text and voice mail so they will still be there after flashing rom? I know this is silly but I like going back to text to see what someone said earlier.

SMS backup will back up your texts and I believe titanium backup will backup your voice mails.

The only thing I backup during flashing is contacts onto my SD card, game data I'm not so worried about.


Create a nandroid and just try MikG 2.56, as long as you have the nandroid and follow the correct flashing steps its pretty fool proof and you can always go back to exactly how your phone was the instant you made the nandroid
 
Also, all the steps are in the rooted for dummies gingerbread edition in the top of this forum.

You can find information in that thread for doing just about anything you could need to do. Its worth a read.
 
If you use Google Voice as your voicemail app, you don't even need to worry about backing up your voicemail. I use it and it always just syncs everything.

Now there are two options with GVoice. You can fully integrate your existing Sprint number into it, or you can just have your Sprint account do conditional call forwarding to your GVoice number (this is what I do, and it's free).
