Help saving my perfection

[elmariachi]

Finaly, got the newest Sprint rom, all my apps & settings, everything is exactly as I want it. How do I do a ROM dump of everything so I can reload in case I lose my phone or something?

You will see many different choices for this, I have tried SPB and Sprite and I like Sprite Backup the best, their url is http://www.spritesoftware.com/ and the url for SPB Backup is http://www.spbsoftwarehouse.com/products/backup/?en so you can take your pick between them.

There are others, I just never tried them.

I use Sprite every time I change my ROM and it saves my butt many times.

I havent tried the SPB backup, but I have used Sprite backup and I always have problems. Mainly with programs that are restored I get certificate errors. I'm more looking to dump the whole rom/file system. Not use a 3rd party backup. Is this something that can be done thru the kitchen app?

Well this is speaking from someone who does not build kitchens but those pretty much (as far as I know) just install apps like cab files during the "customize" part of the install, like all the carriers phones do after a hard reset. The rom itself can include of course a different radio version or core rom but unless you know how to actually package the app so it installs off the cab how you want it, I do not see this working.

I do admit, sprite doesnt do like say, acronis true image does for your computer, which is make a byte for byte including partitions image. It sort of just copies the files how they are and replaces them over existing ones.

I never get errors with Sprite and I use it a lot, but I must admit, I do it in these steps which I suggest.

Hard reset, let it customize, THEN run the restore. Never run a restore over a broken setup.
