Hi everybody!

I have a newbie question.
I am really thrilled about cookers work here and want to try a lot of ROMs but I am really tired to put my "settings" afterwards.

My question is:
Can I have restored all my data (settings, e-mail account data, my WiFi setting for a number of routers I use, my tweaks, programs, etc.) with Sprite software we get with our Diamonds?

Sorry, a backup made on one rom is specific to that rom - you can't restore it once you change to a different rom. You must reinstall software and change settings manually once you flash. Sucks, but that's the price of being on the cutting edge!

Actually, all I want to backup is

- Bluetooth connections
- WiFi networks
- mail account settings only (ie not messages, or any other stuff)

I can live with reinstalling cabs, and making a couple minor tweaks here and there - just get frustrated with having to re-pair all my blueooth devices and wifi networks!

Is there anyway I can do that? Backup specific registry keys/files?

restoring an old backup on a new rom with spb backup you can choose differents levels of restoring.
only personal data: contacts, messages, ecc

level 1: (preferred with the same rom) all your data stored in the rom(internal memory and not in the memory card), programs, system files etc can be restored. the problem is that this kind of restore on a new rom is unusefull. because it restores all system files all properties of the old rom.

level 2: (preferred for restoring on another diamond with same rom and features) it restores all your data, and some tweak on another diamond with same rom, but something you must set by your self.

level 3: (i think the best way) preferred to restoring all your personal data, programs installation and others tweaks in the same diamond except system files with a new rom.
it works good, but some tweak, some programs, icon or whatelse is to set by you, but the majority of yout tweaks etc are restored from your backup.

i hope it is clear and usefull, bye:)

Sashimi is the way to go. Please post your threads in the right section. This is a software question and has nothing to do with ROM Development ;)

:(

Tnx once more for your answers. this community is great!
It is very frustrating to get device precisely as it was before upgrading.
Don't get me wrong i think it is a lot of fun to do that but my wife doesn't :)
