Is there an easier way to switch back and forth between roms without having to restore a nand backup?

Nope, unfortunately. Someone was working on a dual boot method a while back, I don't know if anything ever came from it though.
Shoot, guess we'll just have to wait ...thanks for the quick reply

What I do is keep 3 or 4 nands of my favorite roms and just nand restore whichever I want to use
Also titanium backup pro is worth every penny, 1 click restore
Sms backup and restore to save your text msgs
Swyped from a galaxy far far away......
Sorry for such a noob question but I've searched and can't find it? I'm upgrading from Captivate to a Galaxy s2. I've done a full back-up via titanium back-up on the captivate. When the S2 arrives, do I just restore it on that or will that not work between different model phones?
From my experience, it does not work properly. The apps reinstall, but the data on some apps does not transfer over. I had to start Stupid Zombies all over again, for example.
Thanks for that. I'll go to my plan b, write down the aps I have currently and just reload them via the market when the new phone arrives
The 75 apps I had on my Desire Z all restored fine onto my SGS2.
I also restored my call list/sms/mms with MyBackup Pro.
If you just want to make a list of your installed apps you can export a list with aTrackDog
I was also able to use all my backups from my desire and restore onto my sgs2 without any trouble.

If I could also ask something...
I had the SGS and now I have the SGS2...I made a backup of everything with titanium backup and after the restore an the new phone the memo app (Samsung notepad app) didn't return my notes which is VERY important to me...Is there a way to open and read my notes??

I suggest you try restoring user apps with data (letting alone system data).
If something goes wrong you can reinstall the specific application.
You can also restore user apps without data if you wish.

I would just reinstall apps no data.
There is also an app called Sharemyapps that you can use to send yourself or friends a list of your apps in email/text etc

Is there any app to back up my apps and restore to the way I had it on the home screen. For when I update or change a ROM.
Thanks.

You can use Titanium Backup or ROM Toolbox to back up not only the apps you have installed, but also their data as well. It will save your backups to your SD card, so when you update your system memory, your backups will be safe. All that is needed is your device must be rooted to use either.

I think he was asking about restoring not only the apps but also the app icon onto the exact same place in the home screen. If that's your question...I don't think there is something like that, but it would be nice.
use a third party launcher, most of them have backup and restore options

A Google search has found this
you'll probably run into issues when switching roms, if you're going to restore system data everytime.
So far I have settled for a Nandroid backup and mybackup from the market.
Titanium serves the purpose as well. Although I'm not much of a fan yet.

Titanium backup, only use it to backup and restore user apps though, use gapps an google playstore to restore system apps.

before i take the red pill and flash the wicked rom, what is the best method to save personal data phone #,contacts, calendar appointments, email passwords, alarms, etc.?
the wicked rom says not to backup system apps, does that include app data?
thanks
Titanium Backup. You can restore app settings, say alarm clock settings, Temple Run accomplishments, etc.
I just export my contacts to my sd card and import back on a new rom. You can also link your contacts to a Google account.
I run Wicked, never had any issues at all.

Don't forget to make a backup through recovery just incase something goes wrong. You'll have something to fall back on.
Sent from my SGH-T999 using xda app-developers app
Like said, make sure you make a backup through your recovery as well! Something unexpected might happen an it will save you much time.

well all would have been well, but apparently titanium did not know that i was using an s3 and must have saved back up to internal.
all i could find was my old backups from my old phone.

Search your internal storage, it shouldn't of been deleted. Go through a file manager and if you can find it, go to titanium >preferences >and restore location.

yeah, you have to change backup location in titanium settings. In the S3, it uses your internal memory as an internal sdcard. That is where it saves all your personal junk by default. When you wipe though, it is possible to wipe without wiping that data, a factory reset should be enough. If you change in settings though, you would need to configure it to use your external sd card.
