Upgrade 2.1 to 2.2 w/o losing Cydia/Installer Apps

[SRASC]

Normally when upgrading my iPhone I go through iTunes to update the firmware & then WinPwn (more recently QuickPwn) to jailbreak, unlock. In the end I get my iPhone updated, unlocked, jailbroken, with all my contacts, media, data intact. Only loss though is my downloaded Cydia/Installer apps.

Is there anyway I can get these to save so that I wouldn't have to re-download/install them every firmware update?

Thanks.

(oh & I have previously updated to 2.2 successfully, but downgraded because of a caller ID issue with 2.2 (which was solved this morning)

Quickpwn reinstalls them for you.

How does Quicpwn reinstall them? If you update via iTunes then use Quickpwn your apps are no longer on the phone right?

just write them down, and reinstall them. takes an hour tops to do EVERYTHING including the update/reunlock/redownload everything

time capsule, suppose a back up program for third party software. it suppose to back up your cydia and installer app into a file and back up into itune, then after you do update or restore your phone, your backup restore into your phone. then u have to download the timecapsule program, and click restore, and all program suppose to reinstall back into the system, but i haven't see it work before, give it a try, it may work.

APT Backup from Cydia. Then open up APT back up, click "backup" and then plug it in your computer and do a regular back up in itunes. Then upgrade your phone and once done, restore from back up and they will all be there.

Tried that one (Aptbackup) but when I clicked the restore option & came up saying that the iPhone needed to be updated/restored first, which it was at the time... So that didn't work. Tried it on 2 different iPhones.

My friend yesterday told me that Chornus (TimeCapsule's updated name) worked. But I tried before I used the BigBoss method using Aptbackup How To Upgrade In iTunes | iPhone News, Help and Guides (which as I mentioned didn't work either.)

I'm willing to re-try Chronus (TimeCapsule) which I assume would run the same. Though I do need some advice as to how to run it properly.
