So, are you guys using SPB to backup, then installing a new ROM and then restoring your SBP backup file and having the phone working perfectly, just with a new base ROM? I can't see that ever working 100%. Maybe it could work better than it worked for me, but different ROMs might have some different registry settings and when you restore your backup, you'll overwrite the new ROMs registry settings with what was on your phone before.

I'd love if there was a way to backup, upgrade a ROM, restore and be back to exactly where I was before, software/settings wise. I just didn't think that was possible.

I've done so many little edits and software config/setting changes, it'd take me a good 4 hours to reinstall/reconfigure everything if I had to start over. That's why I'm never upgrading ROMs.

One of SPB's features is a ROM upgrade mode. You can use this after a ROM flash to restore all apps and settings except for those of your previous ROM
