Is there a way or is there a backup program to restore only the data wich is installed and with registery information for the programs and NOT the rom image "OS files etc..."?

Couse everytime I flash my device with a latest rom, I have to install and register 250 programs again :cry:

Think if there was a program which restored only the registeration informations and only installed programs :twisted:

Are you using the official ROM's?

Try to use a kitchen and make a rom where many programas can be placed on rom, so you don't need to install all the programs.

http://xda.weblink.net/

In this site you have the possibility to send snapshots of programs that you want to install in way to make it available later!
It's an ideia...

pardon me for sticking my nose in here, but this sounds dangerous or at least irresponsible to do.

For the referenced web site to advise persons to download a program onto a device, then have it make two files that the user has to send to a person owning the website that the user does not know and wait for instructions....

...plus told "IMPORTANT, do not remove the program"

is truly suspect.

Any hacker with half a brain could then own your passwords to your server, thus your whole login info to your corporate network. The person could "own everything about you" through your device.

THIS IS A SECURITY NIGHTMARE AND I ADVISE EVERYONE NOT TO FOLLOW THESE INSTRUCTIONS ON THE WEBSITE.

Sorry if there are truly good intentions with the web site, but what they want violates every good security practice surrounding computers.
