Make sure to re-install user apps only. Also try to avoid data+app unless it's absolutely necessary. Example: no need for Words with Friends Data (it's all on the server, only restore App) but if you want to keep your Angry Birds Space process you will need to restore the data as well as the app.
However, to be safe re-download all the apps from the market (which you have the ability to), and restore the data only on a per-app basis. That is really the best way. Then once you have a working ICS Rom with your apps, make a TiBu backup and you can restore normally going forward.
I found it a lot easier to just re install from the app market so I knew everything was new and fresh.

Alright, so I have been testing the waters with my HTC Magic over the last several weeks. I have it unlocked and rooted, updated radio, everything has been going quite well. A few weeks back, I settled on a ROM that seemed to work best for me, and I have installed plenty of apps, widgets, and I have the customization down to a T.
But I wish to continue trying out different ROM's. Who knows, I may find something I like even more! As a fallback though, I wish to preserve all the hard work I put into my current setup. I can't find anything definitive about exactly what a Nandroid backup does, but from what I can see, it is implied that it will save all apps, settings, etc. I'm just wondering if that's correct.
So let's I'm running Android 1.6, I do a Nandroid backup, and then I wipe everything and install a compatible Froyo ROM. Would I be able to restore the backup and have everything the same as before? Or, let's say I don't like the ROM, so I wish to return to the same one I'm currently running. When I restore the backup, will it look like I never changed anything at all? Will there be lost apps or settings, or possible broken apps??
Should sound pretty straightforward, but I just want to be 100% sure before I mess around. Thank you all very much
As far as apps & settings try titanium backup, the donate version offers a 1 click back up, comes in pretty handy if you do alot of flashing, there is a free version as well but you have to manually back your stuff up one at a time, which is a pain if you have alot of stuff, but free is free & it is always nice to try before you buy... My back up pro will accomplish the samething, but I prefer titanium as I feel it has a little better options. So nand backup for your roms & titanium for apps and data and you can go nuts flashing and trying out roms with relative ease... The only issues you may run into would be compatibility of apps going from 1.6 to 2+.

Thank you very much for the quick response.
So let me get this straight. Nand only backs up my ROM, but nothing else? I need another app to backup apps/widgets? I will check out Titanium Backup.
Worst case scenerio, I used ShootMe to take screenshots of everything important
A nand backup/restore should get everything back to how it was. Titanium backup is handy for keeping your apps, settings, etc... When switching from rom to rom.

Here is a link to the tutorial i wrote on Nandroid
http://forum.xda-developers.com/wiki/index.php?title=How_to_backup_or_recover_via_Nandroid
I have a question about NANDROID
ez. I used the ROM: LeeDrOid_V1.9a on my HTC desire. I did a full backup NANDROID. now update the ROM to LeeDroid_v2.2a( this ROM is include a new kernel for overclock to 1113mhz), and do a restore my backup NANDROID.
IT seems everything comes back to V1.9a( I check in " software Information" shows software number is v1.9a, even the kernel is rollback too)
is it normal?
I want to use LeeDroid_v2.2a because it has new kernel for overclock to 1113mhz but I dont want to install all apps again. what should I do?
'Ello all.. Entirely too newb for this! Anyway, I've rooted my infuse 4G ... Seems that - that was easiest part. Now I am just really confused as to where to go from here. I've got Rom Manager premium & Titaniam Back Up free. I've batched using TBU. Not sure if I need other things for some of the ROMs I've checked out? And How to get a customized theme (widgets, Icons, etc)? I'm mostly confused on the terms used whilst searching for ROMS & Themes. And PM would be greatly appreciated! Lol.
Thanks for your time
Head towards development forum for custom roms and theme section for themes.
But first decide what you want.
I assume you are on stock froyo 2.2,so,you can install custom froyo rom or custom gingerbread rom.
also you can install kernals for OC and UV.
First decide what you want,search through forum,read then jump.
Like rohit suggested, I would browse the development forum and check some things out.
When using Titanium Backup to restore applications. Make sure you only use it to reinstall apps and their data. Never restore system data. If you are going to use it to "batch" reinstall your apps once you've installed a new rom, make sure to only install the "missing" apps, not all apps. Replacing the new apps with the outdated ones that you may have backed up is a bad idea due to incompatibility; however, you can certainly retain the old apps that you have now and install them later.
ROM Manager will mainly be used to install CWM. The only ROM that is currently supported through it is Infused. It is still suggested that you flash the files manually through recovery. Also, make sure you follow all of the steps in the directions for the ROM so that everything goes through without a hitch.
If you have any questions, feel free to ask here or shoot me a pm. I'll try to get back to you quickly.
Good luck. I think you will enjoy installing some custom stuff once you get the hang of it. Don't worry yourself too much. It's harder to mess things up than you think. Just pay attention to installation instructions and go slow at first.
Please bear with me and my noob questions. I have a rooted and unlocked Infuse 4 G. At the moment I am using t mobile monthly 4 g unlimited pre paid.
I have never done anything to the phone besides using the bml3.bk file in the hex editor to unlock the phone. I have some apps installed, and I have installed titanium back up but have not ran any back ups.
I have read the instructions but I am still confused and worried I might brick my phone. I do not have any warranty on it.
I have had others tell me that the Infused 2.1.0 and infusion 1.1 kernel running 1.6ghz would be the best way to go.
And that CMW recovery is the safest way to install it.
It says not to back anything up with titanium recovery. Does that mean that I will lose all of my apps? Or that I will lose all of my contacts or progress in apps, such as games and kindle books?
Will I lose my APN settings?
Also if I have not backed anything up, what happens if I make a mistake in the installation? Is there a way to get my stock settings back?
Also, just to be sure, I would download the zip files directly to my phone, from my phone correct? Just making sure I do not download them to my PC and then transfer them to my sd card.
Also what about the updates and beta versions? Should I use the most updated file or an older one?
Also, I do use facebook, so I can reinstall that after the ROM is installed?
I really appreciate the help and patience with all my questions.
Export your contacts to your SD card.
Myself, I backed up my apps, then restored apps & data.
(note: do "NOT". restore system data)
The apps that you have can be redownloaded if need be.
Yes to Facebook.
My suggestion would be to just install the Infused 2.1.0 first. Get used to it before going in deeper.
Yes, you can download or transfer the Infused 2.1.0 to your SD card and install from there.
Go directly to Infused 2.1.0. No need to install the beta's.
I'd say that the safest & easiest way to install Infused 2.1.0, is by using Rom Manager, especially if you're new at this.

Thank you! Is it better to download the zip files directly to sd card using my phone or using the PC? And is it safe to use titanium back up to back up the apps? And I guess I am just confused. Do I back up the apps I have that I want to keep that are not in the ROM? Or do I back up ALL of the apps I have? Im sorry, Im sure I seem like an idiot, but I want to make sure I am clear on what to do......thank you so much!
Also If I do not back up my stock system, will I be able to go back to stock if something messes up?

I downloaded them to PC and transfered them sd. Yes, its safe to backup apps with titanium, when you go to reinstall them, just restore apps and data, NOT system data. Just back all of them up, you can restore each that you want later. Just read all the installation instructions a couple of times until you understand the process. Once you do it, you'll realize its not hard. Install the ROM first, then, the kernel. If you do brick your phone, you can use Odin-to-Stock to return the phone to its stock. You'll be glad you upgraded to a custom ROM, its much faster. Only downfalls on Infused 2.1.0, (latest version) is that there is no HDMI support, and the video recording is not 30fps like it should be, but these problems will be fixed soon.
Do NOT run Infusion (or any other overclock/undervolt kernel) until you're perfectly satisfied with the stability of the ROM in question without the modded kernel.
Overclock/undervolt kernels can cause instability that may be misdiagnosed as a ROM bug.

True, only reason I say this is because they work great together. But he's right, once you install you may not like the ROM or something else, like have problems with it. You can install the kernel anytime. You will need a overclock app like voltage control or setcpu in order to get it overclocked.

I think I am idiot If I wait for htc ics update any more .
I want to change my original Rom to custom Rom but one concern.
I don want to loos my applications and my data .
what can I do ?
can I backup my all softwares in stock rom ?
I mean If I backup data in 2.3 rom can I use that in ICS ?
for instance gps software ,maps and places that I entered ?
second question is If I backup data in insertcoin rom can I use that in revolution rom ?
is the backup 100 percent reliable ?
thanks guys
1st question - My backup pro
2nd question - Yes
As jacks said yes, but in my case I'm using Titanium Backup to have all data from my apps saved.
You just have to go S-Off, SuperCID, Root, save all with Titatnium and start all process to flash ROM's (Firmware, Wipe, ROM, kernel...)
And btw, when I started on the ROM's world 1 week ago I tried InsertCoin, did a backup on it (Angry birds xD) and when I ported all to Revolution it worked perfectly So just quite similar case here!
thanks about repllys.
but what about ics.
can I backup android 2.2 sofwares and use it in ics ?
I guess you refer to sd card apps and data and not to system data.
In this case yes. Unless some appls may not be compatible with ICS.
Do not attempt to restore system data from GB to ICS as it will jam up your device.

Clicking on THanks button it's enough
Btw, take care on the 2.2 backups... I supose you are talking about Titanium backup or so isn't it? As said before you should have problem with not compatible apps, but if they can update via Google Play properly you should not lose any important data
What apps do you mean exactly, or about which one are you worried about? Just to help better
I am moving to a new phone with ICS and my current MyTouch 4G OS is stock Gingerbread. Are different flavored APKs pushed from the Market depending on your OS flavor? If I restore the APKs from Titanium Backup to my new phone will there be any issues? Am I better off downloading the apps over again and only restoring the data from Titanium Backup that I really need (like game saves)? Thanks in advance!
It should work, use it on apps that you actually need. Worst case senario is that the app doesn't work and you have to reinstall so i would say go for it.

Apps restored from a GB rom to an ICS one have been known to cause issues when we first started getting ICS. I would suggest downloading all apps from the market, but restore data from your Ti backup to avoid problems. It's what I do when switching from CM7 ta any ICS that I want to try.
