Re: Easily Recovering Apps/Settings After ROM Flash

But you're probably going to be "restoring" things over your new ROM, and if the kitchen used different versions of a given program, your settings may get royally screwed up.
The biggest thing I hate having to re-setup is my email settings and the apps that aren't part of the ROM. I just didn't know if I was missing something, as there seem to be folks that just flash everything that's out there all the time, upgrade when there's a new version, etc... . I just wanted to make sure I wasn't missing something obvious that could save me some work.

Thanks for your input. I'll email the Sprite folks again and get my registration stuff figured out (they didn't reply to my last e-mail, so I don't know what's up).
