Re: question about sprite backup and restoring after flashing custom rom...
2. Don't install a completely different rom, then do a restore and expect things to actually work.

I have had great luck doing exactly this. I ALWAYS use merge level one when doing this & everything works just fine.

Now don't get me wrong, I absolutely agree that rebuilding the system from scratch with a new ROM is the preferred option, but it can work just fine restoring also.

My currrent system is running Mighty 4.16. When I first flashed it, just for testing purposes I restored a HUGE BU file made on a physically different TouchPro running a completely different ROM. I used merge level one & left ALL the boxes checked & much to my surprise 99% of the restore worked perfectly. The people tab in TF3D did not restore correctly, but basically everything else did (SlingMobile/five email accounts/SMS-Chat/Sirius WM5/weather panel in 2nd today/Opera Mini/half a dozen GPS apps/WMwifirouter/Inesoft Phone 4 etc etc etc etc)
