I had to use Titanium to restore all my apps/data.

BTW Darren, what do you have against Titanium Backup? I use it all the time and its never failed me.

EDIT: Oh yeah, battery life seems much better with DK28, especially with Viper 3.0
Where is this dk28 modem? I can't get to the tar ball almost all the links are dead in the xda forum. Its pitiful being me yeah I know.

And titanium back up didn't work for me when I tried to restore all my apps and data back to a rooted stock rom which it took backup from. That's why I hated it... it really screwed me up with data lost at the time of learning how to root the epic.

Edit:
When I restore with Nandroid backup... I don't restore everything...just data. What I mean by that is apks and data with nandroid and I've been doing that for at least 3 different stock roms using the same backup/restore methods with no issues. Probably not an issue if you're flashing a non custom rom. Every phone is different but this one works for me.

I hardly got a fc on any of the roms I flashed into...

MyBackupPro does really well backing up for me and I can choose which apps to install with this one. But damn it take forever to backup compared to nandroid. No root required.

Nandroid is like 5mins or less. The caveat with this method is you can't selectively choose like on MyBackUp pro which apps or data to install with this one. I like to make sure I delete and install apps before rebooting into clockwork then making a backup which is pretty much managable, plus it's free.

Next, if I flash into a custom rom... you go to backup/restore >>Advance >>choose your backup>>> only restore data, not system, or whatever else is on that list.

If you restore everything that's how u got a bunch of errors or fc like you did.
