Okay, I have gotten sick of this not being able to change desktop backgrounds and being unable to use 3200x480 images as backgrounds. So I have decided to go ahead and reflash my device. I have a couple of questions before I commit to the flash, I am trying to preserve my data and make it so that I can recover back to my current state as quickly as possible.

So I have done the following:

• dpkg --get-selections to preserve the package list
• tar /home/user (less MyDocs/.sounds and MyDocs/.videos)

So at this point, I have but a couple of questions.

1. Is there a way to dump the list of packages from the app manager, since the list differs between dpkg -l and the contents of the app manager?
2. Given the problem that I am having, is it recommended to just flash the ROM image or should I also flash the EMMC as well?
3. Any other recommendations?

I haven't flashed a Nokia device since my N810, and that was over 2 years ago, so I'm trying to take it slow and easy and get recommendations from the community.

Thanks all,
