that logic makes some sense.
BUT, if I was putting back apps, like Handcent, I would expect the data for that has not changed. So, I want that data + app to go back. Of course I would not put back the old stock apps - browser, market, etc and such, just apps I previously downloaded AND their data. to me, since these apps are both 2.2 and 2.1 comptaible, I expect their data and the app to go. there was some loss there and it was causing issue and so, it was just best to go back.
now, why there was no Alarm? not sure.
but you see, I started getting so excited, some of this I did not 100% think through, like going from 2.1 to 2.2 and how architecture changes can have effects, though like I said above, some things should not change like my settings. if you did the OTA legit update, and had Handcent, you would not expect to come back and have all of your settings toasted and lost. again, I just need to slow a bit, have time ready, and think a 2.1 to 2.2 migration plan through a bit on how best to salvage my apps and my data. I will need to do a 1 by 1 restore via Tit or MyBackup - NOT a batch restore - to make sure I do not load up old stock apps and data. but then, I do need to make sure I can/do install old calendar data, but not an old calendar.. get it? so, time to chill and plan it out as once I do a 2.1 --> 2.2 & get my apps and my data and my settings as needed, I no longer have to worry about this. so that effort has to be done up front now, and I let it get ahead of me.
When I went to BB 0.4 and started using Titanium and MyBackup to restore settings, things were not taking - like settings in Handcent and my phone and all my custom tones and such. That same tactic worked perfect when I did the 2.1 root, so it caught me off guard here. As well, I screwed up and when I did the data restore I restored my gMail contacts and accidentaly hit the wrong setting and erased a bunch. My bad. On top of that, I was missing some apps AND, very oddly, was missing apps like the Alarm. The Alarm was jst gone. A generic icon was there, but no Alarm. So, I just do not have time to deal with it all now so I just booted into clockworkMD recovery and flashed back to where I was at 2.1 rooted yesterday. Now that I am understanding more it wasn't that painful and all is as it was and fine.. I am hurrying out of excitement and need to slow down and figure out some of these issue. Oh, plus the background wallpapers from 2.1 are not in 2.2 (they are here) and there was one 1 really wanted, so I got to find that. so add this all up and I just decided to roll back.. will do it again this weekend.
. It happens every time I flash something new ROM-wise and then things settle down and smooth out.
