Rules mixed up when restoring from backup after new ROM #48

My list of allowed apps always changes after I install a new ROM and restore my apps from backup.

It seems as if the config is written down with respect to some internal IDs, which are no longer the same after a new ROM + app restore. Thus I get the same number of rules, but the rules often point to a different set of apps.

I realize that most users do not install ROMs often, but for those of us that do, I wonder if something can be done please? Thank you for your time and for this very useful app.

This is a known issue and you are correct about the ID's being the culprit. When you factory reset or load a new ROM all your app UID's change. So if GMail was 10071 before it could be 10083 now.

I have looked at this a little bit and I do hope to have a solution in the future.
