Re: Sprite Backup and ROM upgrade question

sprite backup is excellent for making a complete backup to restore. I run it once a week to backup my entire phone (rom and all), so that if i end up with corrupt settings from tinkering with it (i play around alot, thanks PPCGEEKS!), I can just restore the most recent backup and be done. As for moving to a different rom, the best solution for a clean install is to backup contacts and calender and such through activesync to outlook, and the install the rom fresh. Also, just for easy access, i created and INSTALL folder on my SD card, which i put all the cabs i want installed each time i flash a rom (programs, tweaks, etc) that way all i have to do is flash the rom, open file explorer, access the sd card, go down the list and install all the cabs at once (i have never had a problem doing this, though some people say you should soft reset everytime you install something), and then soft reset once and start customizing (set background, enter owner information, etc). Using this method, i can migrate from one from to another, without losing anything, and with the same application setup, in less than an hour. Still time consuming, but its clean and effective.
