    Re: What exactly is lost by flashing the FS?

    AFAIK there is no quick way to save the configuration (be sure to back up the files like ring tones and themes). Some of it can be set in the custpack but it may take longer than just doing it by hand. I recommend modifying whatever custpack you use for whatever easy changes you like as you will probably use it again. I set the default ring volume higher and things like that that are easy changes.

    Can you provide a link to a tutorial/guide or something on how can I customize my custom pack? For instance, one thing that bothers me all the time is being asked if I want to start the phone in flight or normal mode. Can I put the default option to disable in my custom pack, is that possible? Where can I learn to do these things?

    Within the file customize.xml found inside the custpack (try to read and understand the various variables, most of them are self-explanatory):

    <mmi>
    <settings>
    <pictures-view-mode>3x3-thumbnails</pictures-view-mode>
    <camera-pictures-view-mode>3x3-thumbnails</camera-pictures-view-mode>
    <video-thumbnails-view-mode>3x3-thumbnails</video-thumbnails-view-mode>
    <flight-mode-option-at-startup>false</flight-mode-option-at-startup>
    <sleep-mode-clock>true</sleep-mode-clock>
    <enable-national-characters>true</enable-national-characters>
    </settings>
    </mmi>

    You can switch on or off the flight mode option from setting.. so u don't have to flash ur mobile just to switch off a function that can be done from within ur software... i don't know about other mobile sets, but this function is available in W580.

    I don't know of a good tutorial yet. I just looked at the customize xml and it is fairly self explanatory. I used a laura r1a custpack instead of the r8a generic as it had more stuff in it to learn from. Most of it can be changed after the flash (like the flight mode) but changing it in the pack saves me from having to reset it every flash while i am experimenting a lot.
