xv6800--I'm ready to bite the bullet

[allenfdavis]

As a semi noob, I have been reading this forum for the last 3 months. I am ready to take the plunge and upgrade to the latest rom and radio.

I have just 1 question:
-I have quite a few medical apps loaded, they all are complicated installs and take serial #'s that change at every install. I need to wait on hold for about 30 mins every time i reload them.

Is there a decent backup program I can use,
-or will there be too many compatability issues this way and i should just install everything from scratch

I highly recomment you re-install the apps after upgrading, as they will not function properly if you use something like Sprite backup and you most likely will mess up the OS.... It sounds like a pain in the butt, but it will make life easier for ya in the long run.....

just make sure backing up contacts and all personal info, then install all programs after upgrading. i use sprite only if i ever need to hard reset or reflash. if its a major radio upgrade or new ROM release, i will start over. if they are apps that use different serial numbers, i will back them up with sprite.

What about contacts?

Is it safe to backup your contacts usuing PIM Backup and then restore after upgrading from 6.0 to 6.1?

Might as well keeps things as simple as possible and avoid potential complications when moving between ROMs.

Most of the contact, schedule, and mail backup utils are intended for situations when one is away from their PC.

What you can also do which is easy is just back up your pim file using file explorer from your phone. I usually just copy it to my sd card. Never had a problem.
