    I plan on rooting my phone next weekend when I have some time, have a few quick questions first:

    1) I read here somewhere that once the phone is rooted with a custom ROM, that I'd need to go back to the stock ROM to be able to receive the official updates OTA, such as froyo. My question is where exactly is the stock ROM. I downloaded a file r4-desire-root.zip follwoing the IM conversation between partyatmygaff & cormie. Is the stock ROM included in this?

    2) I want to setup Apps2SD.
    My plan is to install either the modaco 2.1 ROM or the modaco froyo ROM, both with support for A2SD.
    I understand from other threads in here that I will have to partition my SD card to get this working. At the moment I just have 1 SD card, the 4GB that came with the phone. Any simple guides to setting up Apps2SD, which show how to partition the SD card and backup & restore the contents of the card?

    3) What else do I need to backup? I have my apps backed up using Astro, but from the IM conversation I understand reinstalling them this way will mean the apps won't get the automatic updates from the market, so I also have my app list stored on App Brain and I may just reinstall them all using that. I presume using app brain will be a valid install from the market. I have SD card backed up and my contacts are all on my gmail account.
    Anything I should backup before rooting?

    Thanks,
    FFB.
