dont have the file called hildon-application-manager
only have hildon-fm
and contains
[default]
pane_position=250

im guessing i would have to reinstall all the apps to get the debs again tho.. if i even had that file??

Well, its only partially what you are looking for, but you can image your entire phone using my tool: http://talk.maemo.org/showthread.php?t=58633
Then, if you screw things up, you can reflash back to that image, and not have to reinstall anything or change any settings.

It won't help with "reflash to improve performance", because you are restoring to the -exact- state that you backed it up in.
