Will most of these not recording /saving Data issues be resolved if I root this phone?

Or would I be better going back to Ginger Bread thus maybe get all my old apps recording data to the SD card again ?.
The apps are programmed to write to certain locations, whether it be internal or external memory. My app writes its data to external memory and it works on ICS (but the app does need the "WRITE_EXTERNAL_MEMORY" permission). So it's not an ICS issue. I'd use an app like app2sd to try to move apps to the sd card and maybe clear out the app cache so you have more room in your internal memory.
