What I typically do is write the data.img back after flashing, as I described in post #3. If you wipe the data partiton afer flashing but b4 writing the data.img, then yes, u will lose any added apps I put in the data/partition. if you do not wipe data after flashing & just write the data.img, the new apps will stick but then u will have dups...ie, wifi tether pre8 & pre9.
what I typically do is update the apps myself, do a backup, wipe, flash, wipe, then write data.img
I had trouble restoring my data.img this time, kept getting boot loops, not sure if it was because I was running app2sd or the change from 3.26 to 3.28, my guess is that it was from app2sd, which I got rid of....so I bit the bullet & started from scratch, loading all my email accounts & settings, but I 1st used mybackup pro to backup sms/call log/sense settings
