First post, a question and comment...

[orangecrush]

First, just wanted to say thanks to all that have donated their time, brains and energy for all the updates and suggestions. I think it's definitely worth a paypal donation even if it's only 10 bucks.

Second, I'm surprised (not sure why though) at the lack of using the search button. Sometimes it takes some digging but generally with enough of it, the answer is there.

Okay, now for my stupid question. (Yes, I did do a search first... :D )

I've made the tweaks I wanted to do and I've backed up my system. My question is, if I do a ROM upgrade and then do a restore, will the restore put my tweaks back in it or do I have to start all over?

Thanks,

Mark

PS. Obviously everyone has an opinions but on average, was it worth doing the 1.37 ROM upgrade?

what kind of backup did you do? what ROM are you flashing to?

I used Sprite backup and I've got 1.35.456.3 WWE and I was looking at the 1.37 ROM upgrade for my Diamond.

Sers,

it is good to see somebody new here who follows the rules and searches!! There's really a lack in that for the past weeks ( especially since diamond's release ) !

I dont know what tweaks you did especially, but generally registry tweaks etc. gets lost if you flash a new rom.
You could even back up your registry but I wouldn't recommend that because in case of an update there will be some changes in reg before.

If dont want to install all your apps ever again try SASHIMI (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=392983) - that's an customizable auto installer for apps and maybe reg-tweaks too!

regards

I know what you mean. I read all 50 pages and if I had to read one more time where can I get this program, how do I install this, blah, blah, blah... wow, I can see how it gets frustrating for those that have a) the knowledge already b) have posted the answer 1000 times.

I understand that sometimes you just don't feel like chasing something down but for basic questions... they need to search.

As far as my mods, they're simple. I did the battery one (disableling auto-attach) and #1 on the list.

Both are easy to reinstall.

I guess my question was if I use Sprite to back up programs and then do a ROM update, using Sprite to reinstall those programs won't affect the new ROM, will it?

I'm assuming Sprite backups programs, not registry changes too.

I ask because I don't want to backup with Sprite, do the ROM update and then use Sprite and have it put the old registry back into it.

Or does Sprite copy the registry also?

Thanks,

Mark

Hi Mark, welcome to xda-dev,

Sprite Backup copy the registry also.
Some apps are key in the registry to operate properly.
That is why you must avoid making a restore of your old ROM on your new ROM.

:)

yeah its not recommended.. unless you're updating to a newer version of the same ROM, provided the chef hasn't done new registry tweaks.. or your old registry will reverse the new tweaks.. SASHIMI is recommended for sure..

[liamhere]

no question is silly......unless its been asked many times before.
enjoy your diamond and have fun in this forum!

Thanks guys.... I'll buy the other program instead of using sprite.

Much appreciated.
