Backup and restore your apps from Cydia. The way this works is it makes a list of your installed apps and puts that list in a location that is under iTunes backup. When you sync with iTunes, that list is stored.

After you restore your iPhone in iTunes, you install aptbackup from Cydia, run it, and hit restore, and it will automatically reinstall all your apps in your list.

You also have the possibility to set up one iPhone and use it as a template for setting up others with just one click.

Here are some key features of "AptBackup":

· Actually backup your apps or their settings
· Backup your springboard file placement
· You cannot restore a backup "whenever". It is only for restoring a backup after a fresh iTunes installation.
