Restoring my Sprite to a friends phone?
I have a sprint TP on Verizon and my buddy is getting a Sprint TP on Sprint. He wants to set his phone up like mine and I am wondering if I can just give him a backup after he buys Sprite. Will that work? FYI: He is not looking to get free progams that I paid for. I only have AEButton anyway. I don't know it would work anyway or cause problems....hence my question.

Re: Restoring my Sprite to a friends phone?
It might work, but will be very buggy if it does. My experience with Sprite is that it doesn't like to work across different ROMs, including different Sprint upgrades. I think going from Verizon to Sprint (or vice versa) would just cause problems.
If I were you I would just point your friend to all of the programs you have installed in addition to xda developers and ppcgeeks. That way your friend can learn all about the phone and programs while in the process of setting up their phone to be just like or similar to yours. |

Re: Restoring my Sprite to a friends phone?
What I did between my Diamond and b/f's Pro is made a folder of all the programs/cabs I currently had installed... (known to workI did all this from looking at my spbbackup/extract on pc). I then made a list of all the regedits.... compared my original reg backup from ceregedit to the current set on phone. We sat down and chose from what I had looks wise to what he wanted. I checked compatibility ...sometimes guessed... between pro and diamond (same carrier though). We now had a complete folder of installs and a txt of what order I used to accomplish mine... I knew this because of hard resets and what not and having not unlocked my phone I had to always start at the beginning.
So we sat down and spent a few hours making his Pro HIS, using my files/cabs/ideas. It worked nicely and was still his own. Now, when I make changes he can check them out and decide if he wants it too.. like he just now switched to custom fonts when I had them since the beginning... now he says.. hey I want to try that.! |

Thanks for the advice. the only problem is he's in another state. I think I may just have hime send me his SD card and put my cabs on it and send it back.

there's that. But then how would he know he wants the phone like yours is set? Sned him to this forum and show him around so he can choose...

Ha! this is a good question...and it made me chuckle. I guess because I have convinced him to get this phone from months of text messages like, "Dude! I am on the bike at the gym watching last nights game while doing push to talk with Toby in Australia, updating my facebook and twitter and performing heartt surgery over skype." He just wants me to do all the work for him I guess... I'm going to send him here. |

All that hype! Did you tell him about the water damage from all the sweat from the work you created? LOL

How about just backing up the cabs you are using in a special "Filez" folder on your Microcard and just going from there? Or back them up on your pc. Once you install the programs on their phone, they can make their phone theirs by doing their own customizing.
