[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] suiller:
I noticed too... not really "faster", but for sure seems less sluggish, at least after caching

anyway regarding pimback I use just to backup my contacts, never used as "usual" file/fodler backup app, instead speaking about fingerkeyboard this is what I did:

1. installed fingerkeyboard as usual into main memory

2. created an empty folder called "Program Files" under CPY folder in my Backup & restore master folder

3. copied the whole folder FingerKeybd from \Program Files (main memory) under fresh folder created at point 2, in this way all the content of CPY will be copied back under \Program Files folder during sUC personalization

4. create or add to your personal reg file under REG folder these reg entries to register your fingerkeybaord always during sUC (you have to change just the lang, anyway very easy):

so after every hard reset/upgrade you don't need anymore to install fingerkb, because it will be copied automatically under \Program Files & its related reg entries will be registered at the same time... this will produce the effect to have a working fingerkb installation without manual interaction ;)

PS: this trick doesn't work with ALL software, for example on some java version doesn't work, generally speaking this works on simple software
