    If you make a backup of Squidly's ROM, that backup will be of that ROM and the settings you chose to use while you used it.


    If you flash a different ROM, and decide you don't like it, then you would restore with the Nandroid BackUp that had Squidly's on it and that phone would be restored to the state right before you made the Nandroid BackUp.

    EDIT - Also, if you haven't made a Nandroid backup of your phone when it was STOCK, then I would do that before flashing ROMs. I know this wasn't included in the question, but since it was Nandroid related I figured I'd go ahead and throw it in there..

    Cheers!

    Yep Nandroid backups are fantastic. I suggest that if you switch that you wipe data and cache before you restore.

    It provides a clean slate for any new rom by removing the old one. Often, if you do not wipe data and cache you will have forced closed and perhaps get stuck in a boot loop.

    That has nothing to do with switching roms. The process you described bypasses the welcome and activation process. This is a very sensitive topic so that is all I will say.
