I apologize for being noob but no Idea what does flashing and rooting mean. I mean haven't tried them before.

flashing is installing software/operating system on a electronic item which is not a pc.

Not sure how to do back up of Contacts on my phone. Have a software using which I did a back up of SMS earlier.

its already backed up. simply go to settings>account & sync> and you'll see the email id that was used to login when you turned on the mobile for the first time. just to be sure, check Google Contacts. all the contacts should be backed up here if you use the same email id to login.

go to contact app and select option "export" .All contacts will be exported to sd card...(i am using CM7 so if your stock rom does not have this options download any contact app from play store (like go contact ex) and export..

Rooting : kind of like getting superuser access to perform advance option..you can check "superoneclick" windows app and use it for rooting if your phone model is supported..else check XDA for your model

flashing : It is simple 10-15 min task after you have downloaded all necessary files..

Guys if I take a back up using the Google method then I'm not getting the contacts phone number displayed. Anyways I have taken backup using the .VCF file which should help I guess. Also taken back up of the apps. Will be taking back up of SMS. Tried using Android Sync Manager to take back up of SMS but it got stuck couple of times hence couldn't take back up.
Assuming I have back up of everything what's my next step? Hit the Factory Reset button?

Can someone give me inputs on how to flash my LG Optimus Net?

You had the answer in the first post of that thread.

Changing icons on the homescreens

1. download the icons
2. copy/unzip to your phones sdcard
3. install Desktop Visualizer, its for free at the market.
4. long press on the homescreen and choose the widget "Desktop-Visualizer". there u can make shortcuts and choose also the size
5. done - have fun

^^ It doesnt work thats why

It doesnt have any option for icon pack

 

[R2K]

Try nova launcher. It has a feature to use custom Icons and Icon packs.

They just loosened the HTML5 used in app to make it more faster. I think it did made a noticiable difference noticeable. Update it, if you haven't.

[theserpent]

It's a US Site so obviously you cannot purchase it from there.
And at $99 it is surely under a contract.
An unlocked one is available for 20k here!
