That’s one of the largest pains (the close other 2 restoring my ringtone/texttone/calendar tone/todo tone/etc and re-joining all my damn google/FB/Haxsync contacts everytime…). Anyway, I have over a dozen complicated widgets that I usually have to restore by hand. I recently was made aware of TiBu “Application Widgets” but can’t figure out how to make it work. I think I saw everything come back once, but after flashing yesterday, I had to once again re-add them. If the widgets exist when the data is restored for a particular launcher. Bam, there they should be in all their glory w/ the proper settings…

Also when you say it can do so much more, what is that?

I wonder what’s up cause I restore texts every time I install a new rom which lately has been every couple days. I’ve restored the texts with Appextractor probably 30 times without ever having a problem. 

I just checked out this new app cause it looks good, but I stil prefer Appextractor for now. 

The app works great for me, but I agree that the developer does not respond to emails to support his app. I sent a very simple question once and also never got a reply.

Of course you have to reboot after the restore in order for them to be there.
