    LOL...the older I get, the scarier tech becomes to me. I have the Harmonia froyo Rom because after rooting and flashing that first rom and installing Link2sd, I lost about 5 years off my life. ;) I've been happily using my phone for two years now (?) without needing/wanting to change things...

    Root Does TiBu backup the apps that are on my sd card?

    I'm sure that's a dumb question, but it never occurred to me before and I'm not sure I understand how TiBu works. For the first time, this week, I've installed a couple apps directly to my sd card (usually I use Link2sd with everything on phone internal). So I was wondering if TiBu treats...
