Replacement phone, Google rest or?

[rhcreed]

My replacement inc2 will arrive tomorrow, I'm prepared to root and flash and restore my nandroid. However, what do I do so Google knows it's a replacement and not a new device? This is my first hardware replacement, thanks!

Whenever you first start it up, there should be an option to restore your Google account to your device. What this does, is it re-installs the apps you previously had, and logs you into your Google applications with your email.
