The old problem of wanting to install CM7 without formatting

Hey guys,

I love the CM7 mod in general.

I would love to flash it over my gingerbread, but firstly I don't want to loose all my settings.

Which is mainly the telephone book(I know I can back it up to google).

Also my saved games, which are all saved on the flash card.

Is there anyway of flashing CM7 without formatting? I think I might be dreaming, I just don't want to waste a day restoring all my settings..

Or should I just byte the bullet and do it, my main concern is somebody porting over Ice Cream Sandwich and having to do this all over again.

You can try without an install. But I'd be willing to bet that you'll have a problem whether it be a force close, poor battery life, slow performance or not even booting up.

Google will restore most of your settings like Wi-Fi passwords and some app data. It may also re-download your apps for you.

Do a Titanium Backup of your user apps and restore them which saves time.

If you want to try ICS when/if it's ported then do a nandroid backup and flash it. If you don't like it you can revert back.
