Backup and Restore after New/Updated ROM question for TP2 owners

---

Hi All,

Regardless of what backup tools you are using, I know everyone do backup your stuff. (If not, most people)

Do you restore your backup from your backup copied after you installed your latest ROM? or installed everything from scratch again???

Will there be any different result if you do one or the other way? Will your phone works better on either way or its doesn't makes any different?

I noticed (In my opinion) some of you report your phone works greats after the latest ROM and some said it make your phone worst.

Isn't the backup/restore ONLY work great if you still have the same ROM and not when you tried to restored it on the new ROM or vise-verse??? cos each ROM might have different coding???

Anyone one?

P/S: Please help move it to the correct thread, if you think I post it on the work thread, Thanks! :>

Hi radiowc,
IMHO I'll suggest to install everything from scratch after an update that includes a hard reset, including reg edits, and only restore data like Contacts, Appointments, etc.

That's my doing since '04...

Just today I had to hard reset due to that tf3d theme maker app. But anyways, I used SPB backup and it worked perfectly. It brought my phone back exactly the way I had it before the mishap with that app. All the contacts, ringtones, apps, fonts and themes etc.... I had to do absolutely nothing to get my phone back to the way it was. I am very pleased.

I updated my ROM recently and restored using SPB backup from the old ROM and everything has been going perfectly fine.

I use sprite backup and that works very well.
After a rom update I use "merge level 1" and I have every thing back without messing the new rom.
In other cases restore is almost writing back an image.
