My Moto Droid X2 lists 195 apps. I'm certainly not going spend a day a month clicking each one's .apk to re-install it, month after month after month. (Sheesh!) But enjoy it, if that's what you do.

I understand what you're saying.
What you're saying is that you have your tools and files strewn about all
over your garage workbench desktop, and if I suddenly called independent
cleaners to your house, and they piled all the tools and data that you have
strewn about on your desktop into a big box, you'd *never* be able to put
them back in the hugely disorganized mess that *was* your desktop before
the cleaners arrived.
In stark contrast, I have a desktop with as many apps as you have, but
which is well organized (and where less often used apps are accessed from
inside the app drawer apps):
http://i.cubeupload.com/uXWitP.png
And, I keep all my *data* (including app data!) in
/extSdCard/data/{my hierarchy}.
The tools are in the /extSdCard/data/software/{APKs by folder} using the
*same* folder hierarchy as my desktop uses.
http://i.cubeupload.com/vgcc7N.png
So, it *is* trivial to reinstall everything.
I don't even back things up (since they're already on the SD card).
1. I remove the SD card & SIM card (just in case).
2. I factory reset
3. I put back the SD card & SIM card
That gives me all my data (including app data!).
4. Then I reinstall all the apps, folder by folder, from the APKs.
(Notice there is no need for Google Play or F-Droid at this time!)
5. The only "complex" thing is that I have to set up things, but luckily
the file-redirector apps work just fine from their backup data.
So, the only thing I have to *manually* set up are the *permissions* which
are different from default.
Which is why you see a spate of posts from me on how to best make those
decisions of non-default setup for the apps and the operating system.
I'm always honing my setup. Every single day.
Because I'm *organized*, it's trivial to recover from a factory-default.
That holds true for Linux, iOS, Windows, or Android - although the huge
limitations of iOS make any attempt at an organized plan a shamble.

If you did that, I'd have you (and them) arrested for felonious entry :-) . Cheers, -- tlvp -- Avant de repondre, jeter la poubelle, SVP.

You'd think that one who was so concerned about security and privacy might run a version of Android that isn't 4 years old and no longer receiving updates?
