Help Factory Reset & My Apps

For those of you who know, if I do a factory reset on my DX (with the hopes it will fix GB), will I need to write down what apps I have before I do the reset or will the app market know what I had and redownload them to me? Should I first install whichever apps I can to the sd card? Will I be able to redownload the apps I purchased?
 
Download and install Astro file manager by metago (free app). Open Astro: Menu> Tools> Application Manager/backup. Follow directions to backup apps to sd card. After DX reset, go to Market and redownload Astro. Follow same instructions to reinstall backed up apps. Purchased apps can be reinstalled free.

Go thru your app drawer and backup files and settings onto sd card (notes, browser bookmarks, etc). When doing factory reset, just make sure you don't reset/format the sd card or you'll lose the apps plus music, pictures, videos, etc!
