About LinkBacksI am going to update to sholes 2.05 and I read that it is best to do a data wipe before upgrading. Is there any way to restore all of my apps and settings? I don't want to have to reinstall everything

02-15-2010 10:34 AMYes. Just make a nandroid backup before you wipe. Then restore that back up file after you wipe

02-15-2010 10:38 AMmake a nandroid backup. This is the best, most all inclusive way.

02-15-2010 10:39 AMI use Astro for Alps only. Back up pro and titanium are good for settings.

02-15-2010 10:52 AMUse Astro to backup your Apps..
your settings, use the other 2 apps mentioned before
I only use Astro file manager, only takes me a minute or two to get my settings back to the way I like them.Last edited by HMJB; 02-15-2010 at 10:54 AM.

02-15-2010 10:54 AMI have... I did it when I switched from Sholes to BB. Originally Posted by tktouch12

**** edit ***
Let me clarify... I had Sholes... I un-rooted. Did a factory reset. Then re rooted my phone, made a nandroid back up of my phone, with no ROM, then flashed the BB ROM, and then restored my Nandroid backup that I had made prior to installing BB.
Sorry for not being clear. I don't even know where my brain was when I wrote the first post
