Re: Touch Pro Backup Applications/Software
I have done Sprite restores using "merge level one" on multiple different ROMS & 99% of the time everything works perfectly & all the programs etc work just the same as when the BU was made.
My system is absolutely LOADED with programs/apps/tweaks etc (plus it's a Sprint phone running on my Verizon account) so it's a pretty good test of the restore capability of these programs. A while back, I tested the hell out of the restore capability of Sprite/SPB BU & Resco BU (I own all three programs). When switching ROMs, Sprite won over the other two by a rather wide margin.
When I restore the fully loaded BU file to a new ROM (sometimes on a different phone, I have 3 TP's) there is one thing that NEVER restores correctly although it's no big deal. After every single restore, I have to redo the TF3D people tab as it always comes up blank for some reason. I have five email accounts set up + a VZ wireless sync account & they all work perfectly after the restore as does SlingMobile/WMwifirouter/PocketShield/the compressed version of TF3D HD with many tweaks/PocketInformant/a half dozen GPS programs/SMS-Chat/Sirius WM5/Inesoft Phone/SPB Time etc etc etc etc
I restored the same BU file to 4 different ROM's in one of my spare TP's last week & the phone worked perfectly fine after the restores.
One thing I noticed was some of the ROMs are now using a new version of PIE. In my BU file, I had the PIE+ add-on installed. If I restore the BU to a ROM running the new PIE (Mighty 4.14) I get an error from PIE relating to the + add-on. When I restored to Mighty 4.12 it worked fine.
