I've had this phone for about two months now.... time to update but rooted

[ou2mame]

I deleted some apps that sprint includes, so I can't perform a normal update. My main concern is losing all of my apps and settings if I flash to another rom. What are my options? I'd like to update and keep everything on my phone the way it is, is that possible? Anyone know of a link to retrieve the sprint apps I deleted? Is that the easiest route? I just don't want to spend all day downloading and installing everything if I don't have to there's a lot of stuff on here that i use regularly.
