The amount of functionality doesn't matter.  What is there should be reasonably safe
in that it doesn't destroy user's data.  (ie it is better to get one thing working 
well rather than lots of things working badly)

Then post your changes to this group.  Make sure to include text for the versionhistory
file which sets expectations appropriately.

That doesn't matter.  Just make sure the phone profile turns them off in the user
interface.

The "brew protocol" does files in the embedded filesystem only.  The LG phonebook
protocol is at a higher level and operates on phonebook records.

I always avoid modifying the files directly instead of using the sync protocol.
That means that you don't get caught out by other data dependencies - for example
the call history may link into the phonebook and if you directly update the
phonebook file, you could make the phone crash due to broken linkage.

One possibility is to update everything you can using the phonebook protocol and
then patching the file to update the wallpaper info.  That is far less risky.
