So in an attempt to get my nav working I re-rooted my phone, and like it did the first time it wiped it clean...I saved all my apps and my phonebook to my sd card but now how do I retrieve all of it?
How did you save all your apps, like move the APK files over? Or do you mean your using app2sd?
Phone book and all that jazz is held in goggle's servers so when you log in and your phone syncs itll grab all that. Your paid apps will be in the market under your downloads, but free ones you had might not. If you did move your free APK files to your SD you can install them one by one adn it should work just fine. I wouldn't worry much. No big oops...
Well I don't know what appmonster is, but possibly it can retrieve your unpaid apps? I use Titanium Backup because after a wipe you install it and itll restore whatever apps you want AND data from them.
Read up on appmonster to see what you can do. Good luck!
