[Q] efficient ROM flashing - apn, settings, ... - HTC Amaze 4G

hello, i was curious to hear what others are doing and using to help in the flashing of ROM and restoring some basic settings like for example, saved wireless networks, apn settings, ...
would love to hear so i can hopefully save some time in the re set up of my phone following the flashing of a rom
best regards

I've always found for best results, do clean installs. It takes longer, but you're less likely to have issues.
But you can use Titanium Backup to backup apps... Or you can restore data partition through recovery, just be careful and make sure u know what you're doing.
This belongs in q&a btw

how about for apn settings, does anyone use anything to aid in the re input of these? I see an app in the play store however, the most popular one still doesn't seem that widely used.
thanks

for apn's you should be able to find the required settings on your provider's site, or google search for correct info. There's a thread on the boards here that shows apn settings for most, if not all amaze carrier apn's, but since you're too lazy to search for them, I am too lazy to search for you and provide a link

Your google account should restore your wifi network password and settings, apn settings should be auto detected by your device and pushed to it by your carrier, well at least for me that always happens, never once had to input manually, well except for a special case, but that's a whooooole other story, lol.

I actually wasn't asking what the apn settings are but rather how to more easily restore them, if people are using anything.
Judging from another comment, maybe it is Wind that will not auto populate or detect them when I do a "restore default".
as far as auto restore wifi networks I had, google does not do this for me anyway.
I do wipe everything, cache, dalvik, and factory reset, before flashing new ROM so that may erase everything.
OK, maybe there is no easier or quicker way for these items
appreciate the feedback however

No apn restore options, but check out appextractor. I love this app, it helps a ton. Here is a screen shot of the main functions, it pulls all the info from your cwm or 4ext backups
