Yep, I backed them up and also did a full backup before starting the upgrade. I'm glad I did, too, since I had to still restore a bunch of stuff.....
- Theme was back to a default theme, so had to set that back to what I was using (just one that comes with the OS) and hide/move all my icons again. I think I could have restored the Theme Settings database, but I had already done all the moving/hiding when I thought of that.
- Browser bookmarks not restored - restored all Browser databases. I tried restoring just the Browser Bookmarks database (like I've done before) and it didn't bring over the bookmarks so I just did them all.
- SMS messages were not restored. I don't care about them, and usually delete them all, except for 2 that I have from my son from 1 year and 2 years ago (gotta keep the ones where the kids say they love you).
- Speed dials all gone - restored Quick Contacts database
- Sounds all back to defaults - restored the Sounds and Profiles Options databases. This also restored my individual contact alerts.
- AutoText wasn't the same number of records as the backup file - restored AutoText database
- Spell check dictionary had no entries on the device, the backup had 890 entries - restored the CustomWordsCollection database.
- Memopad was empty - restored the Memos database.
- Convenience Keys were not set to what I had before, and I hate VAD (although the lady sounds different now) so had to fix that, too. Ugh, this means I have VAD back on my device....oh well, when the OS is released for download I'll remove it then.
