i'm planning to reflash the phone and i'm wondering if there are any apps that would make a backup of currently installed apps to restore them after flashing, something like titanium backup/mybackup pro in android to backup the packages, or like in n900/ubuntu (http://talk.maemo.org/showthread.php?t=64648) at least a list of installed packages

well the built in backup app is there, it tries to download your apps again at least.

Some of the purchased apps from Ovi Store have a limit of downloads and when you exceed the limit you have to re-purchase the app again...
eek:I hope that one of the great developers of this wonderful community will come up with such app.
I would pay for it

You can use
osa --get packagename > packagename.deb
or, as root,
apt-get -d install --reinstall packagename
to download the debian packages of Store applications locally. In the first case the package will be in packagename.deb and in the second case in /var/cache/apt/archives/packagename_version_armel.packagename. You can then move the packages to /home/user/MyDocs and then backup them as you wish. Use pkgmgr install-file -f packagename.deb to reinstall the packages.
Note that this is NOT the same as reinstalling them from the Store though. In this case the installation source is not the Store and thus some security credentials may be missing, potentially leading in misbehaving apps. Also, the applications won't get automatic updates from the Store because they were installed from local debian packages. Most applications will work though and it's often better to have at least some version of the application available than repaying for the application because the download count (a really stupid idea!) was exceeded.

1. I downloaded all my app
2. I created a simple script
Code:
#!/bin/sh dpkg -i /home/user/MyDocs/Downloads/n9-qtweakmy_8.4* cd /home/user/MyDocs/Programs/Entertainment dpkg -i audio* cute* dict* fbr* easy* imgr* mpl* kmpl* reco* sket* sleep* trans* cd /home/user/MyDocs/Programs/Internet dpkg -i opera* titan* cd /home/user/MyDocs/Programs/GPS dpkg -i geeps* waze* cd /home/user/MyDocs/Programs/Games dpkg -i airat* battle* samur* sovie* gtrac* angry* unrav* cd /home/user/MyDocs/Programs/System dpkg -i auto* speaker* batt* callrec* drop* fileb* organ* profile* rest* screenca* screensh* toggle* aegis* org.formeego* txpad*
Code:
sh /path/to/my/script.sh
This is a very fast way to restore all your apps..

and if a store app is not more available for free you can't restore it after a flas or not Ota-update. Happens to me and the worried is that it shows always an update of this app in my account. Response of Nokia : sorry can't help you.
