I need help from frequent flashers!

you know who you are...here's the question: So when you reflash how do you restore/reinstall everything?

depending on the rom some programs are icluded some not. but my big concern is my specific programs i use everyday like handbase,splashid and a few other activesync conduit dependent programs. if i do a hard reset and install just these programs and save that as a backup then it'll restore those programs and maintain my conduits so they don't have to be reinstalled on the pc. but I assume it will also overwrite regsitry with settings specific to the ROM i did the backup on.

so what is the best way to address this?
i'm using sprite backup but looking for a better alternatve as it does not backup contacts. only an issue if i can't get back to my pc for a while but still concerning.

thanks in advance.

You should try searching for "user customization" that should get you headed in the right direction.

Once you get it setup correctly user customization works great. I've used it for my last 3 flashed and didnt have a problem.

It can be a pain and no, depending on how much stuff you want to add, it's not a quick process. If you are a flash junkie then it's a major pain because each rom can be different requiring you to adjust your stuff. If you keep with one rom then it's very easy to maintain.

Good luck getting someone to do it for you lol..

To be honest, I typically just reinstall everything manually. Kind of a pain, especially if you are flashing every day like I have been lately, but I find it's really the quickest, most error free way to do it.

I sync with Exchange, so that takes care of contacts, calendars, e-mail etc in one step. That is the only thing that I *ABSOLUTELY* have to have...so...

Just my .02 cents
