Which apps corrupt your iTunes backup?

I know that when I have intelliscreen installed and I let my iTunes make a backup, if have to restore for some reason and I restore from that backup, it will throw me into an endless loop of the spinning wheel of death and an short vibration at a regular interval. Ive then had to restore once again and start from a new phone instead of restoring backup(unless someone knows how to prevent this or a workaround)

Other than intelliscreen, are there any other apps that corrupt the iTunes backup? (note that this was back in the intelliscreen 2.26 version, so not sure if the newest version has addressed that problem yet)

this is a very good question, I have been wondering the same thing since the day i Jailbroke my phone over a year ago. I have NEVER been able to restore all my phone numbers and Mail and sms!!!!

every time i have to resync my phone numbers from my contacts on my computer and lose everything else...

I have also really wanted to use "appbackup" and "aptbackup" but i cant... because i cant restore from my itunes backup

We need some serious results from this thread....
PLEASE: keep posting to push to top of discussion!

You guys can look for a thread from me from a while back about how I had this problem and fixed a corrupt restore through moving plists, backing things up and iPhone Browser. It was an intensive operation, and I can't believe I actually got it.

As to what causes this problem, I'm not sure, but I know 5-Icon dock has been know to mess up backups. Just be careful and uninstall everything before restoring and manually back up all your stuff if you don't want to lose it.

REEEEAAAALLLLYYYYY! you dont say!!! What's S.E.A.R.C.H.???

If you dont have any information to give, then keep your common sense to your self....

I have searched... and there hasn't been a thread talking about this... at least someone had some good in-site as to the 5 icon dock. But YOU.... YOU have NOTHING to say... so quit wasting time and space.
