I did a full backup with OMJs V2 GPS ROM installed and every program i need installed and customized the way i want it. I did this last night.

If i upgrade to OMJs V3 GPS ROM, what will happen when i run a restore? Basically i want my phone to be exactly as it is now, except for OMJs V3 ROM flashed over the V2 ROM.

Will i have to manually re-install all of my programs for this to work, or can i just run a restore?
As far as I know, you can fully restore on the same OS version, as for different versions of a ROM (V2 to V3) its better to reinstall, because for the most part the backup will overwrite all the new and updated files with the old ones.

Generaly the backup should only be used to
