Backing up and Changing Roms

[JLCollier2005]

OK, so I think I have a fairly simple question, but i've asked it on other (much smaller) forum communities and gotten no answer, so I'm hoping someone here can help me.

Simply put I am rooted running DroidMod 1.0.
I have my home screen set up just as I want it.
I want to try other roms but keep DroidMod 1.0 backed up.

My question. Is it possible to backup the current state of my phone, home screen setup and all, so that when/if I decide to come back to Droidmod it will be exactly as it is now? If so, can someone tell me how to do this?

Yes it will be exactly how you left it.

1. Power off phone
2. Hold down x button on keyboard
3. Boot up phone while holding x on keyboard
4. Select backup/restore
5. Select Advanced Nandroid Backup
6. Give it a name, check off all categories for backup
7. Press perform backup, and you're done.

Titans, thank you! I figured it was that easy, but it seems like no one I asked knew for sure!

I do not use the stock home because I prefer to have seven home screens so I use HelixLauncher and HelixLauncher 2 for the extra widget and application shortcut space. Whenever I switch to a new ROM I will always have to blank home screens. I think that much is unavoidable.

Just throwing out some details as it seems you may have already solved your problem.

Is there a similar process if you used SPRecovery?

So if I was to back up the unrooted stock 2.1 rom, would that just automatically load up if I wanted to unroot?

My instructions are for SPRecovery AND Clockwork Recovery.

MAzing, if you want to unroot, follow my directions, then when you boot up, you will still be rooted. Click on your DM Updater app, and select stock 2.0.1

PetRiLJoe,

that was my other option, because that way I can just load that app and it'll be like I like it, but I like the standard 5 screen home, I don't really need more than that, and when I was using Home++ (back when it was good) I hated that half the times I pushed the home button, the home selector would pop up, even if I set it as default.
