Nick, I'm looking to move to the VC baseband (since I can't help myself not having the "latest") and just want to know if what I'm thinking is possible. I realize I will have to go through the entire process of reverting back, flashing with the LG tool, and then getting the recovery back on there (Thunderc in my case, since for the life of me the Xionia one would not install without rebooting to the LG logo and hanging)... but after that, is it possible to just restore a nandroid backup of 1.5.1 (currently running on baseband V9) and be good to go?
As for nandroid backups, the Thunderc recovery has 4 options, so I'd like to know exactly which one I need to restore EVERYTHING correctly?
-Nand backup
-Nand backup + .android_secure
-Nand backup + ext
-Nand + ext + .android_secure
I'm guessing the latter, but just want to make sure.
Two more quick questions:
1) I noticed in the new sticky that KSmithInNY posted that nROM isn't listed as "optimized" vs the others. What exactly is that referring to? Is it possible to do so in the future builds?
2) After I flash to VC, is it fine to move to the 008 xionia kernel with nROM? I know if comes with 007, and that seems to work fine. But it's stated rather blatantly on the kernel thread that 008 should only be used on the VC baseband. Any thoughts?
Thanks in advance.
