Well turns out if you do the data.img restore OMJ posted on Post #3 it isnt the quick and easy way to restore your data and settings like we thought it was. At least in OMJ.
In OMJ's ROM's he uses the data partition for his "custom" apps.
Problem with that is when you do the data restore the old data overwrites the new thus wiping out his updated/newly included apps.
It's kinda like doing a full nand restore apps-wise, you're back on the old ones.
An easy solution could be for OMJ to put all his apps in /system/app.
This way you'd flash the ROM with a blank data partition and could put all your apps back into /data/app.
I would *guess* that would result in you having two versions of the same app. For example if you had wifi tether 7 on your nand data partition and OMJ released a new ROM with wifi tether 8 then when you did your restore you'd have 7 in data/app and 8 from OMJ in /system/app.
Not a big issue IMO.
