One ROM to another ROM: backup/restore question

First, I have to thank the XDA forums helping me come over from my long WinMo background. Mad Props...
Being new to Android and my nexus one, I'm feeling the ROM flashing bug and want to try out a couple of different ROMS but don't want to have to add all of my accounts each time since I use crazy long, nearly impossible to type, passwords.
Is there some way to restore some of the configuration of my N1 between different ROM flashes?
Sorry if this has been covered, but I can't find it. It looks like the data is backed up in my nandroid backups, but I can't seem to find out how to only restore configuration.
Thanks
Rick

Take a look at Titanium Backup.
It works really well.
You need to be rooted and superuser in order to use it.
To find out more about adding superuser to a stock ROM, check out this thread at Modaco.
Edit:
Nandroid backups are really "just" disk images afaik.
There's no way that I know of to extract information from them.

Ok, thanks. I am running the backup right now and will give it a try tonight. Worse case, I just restore the nandroid backup and try again.

I've always wondered, what stuff is safe and not safe to restore in Titanium Backup. I've done a full restore when switching between like roms, but I'm guessing that wouldn't be a good idea if you were going from cyanogen to a senseUI rom.

[Q] nandroid question

Hi everyone,
DISCLAIMER - I have an Eris, and don't know anything about Motorola Droids. I am asking for a friend.
I have a friend with an original Droid. He is on Froyo via OTA, and he is rooted. He is thinking of playing around with ROMs and I told him to make a nandroid backup before he starts, but he doesn't have that option when he boots into recovery.
What is the easiest way for him to get to the point where he can make a nandroid backup (or something similar)?
Thanks in advance

Verizon Tab Rom's/Nandroid/Clockwork???

So for us Verizon (CDMA) tab users, What is our options for flashing a rom? I mean I keep reading but nothing really sticks out here. Can a whole buch of you guys suggest a few roms out here or there that I can flash?
Plus whats the deal with clockwork? I installed bootstrapper and it jacked up my tab!!! Thought I bricked it... I went ahead and did a backup or I think a nandroid backup went into recovery mode hit restore backup and I got stuck. Any one have answer for that? As to why that would happen?
So once again, How many roms do us verizon tab users have to flash? Plus how can we get a working Nandroid backup? Any links provided would also be greatly appreciated.
Thankl You for your time.

So no one here has a Verizon Galaxy Tab running a different rom other than stock?

Nandroid

Would I be able to restore a nandroid from one droid 3 to another?? Or would that mess somethin up

Yes you make do that, and all should work without any problem

New Note old backup

Hi all
After smashing the screen on my Note i am getting a new one on the insurance, well i am when they decide to deliver it!!!
just want to know if it will be ok to root and restore my backup from the old phone?
i was running criskelo v9.1 at the time with speedmod kernal i think
big time

Are you talking nandroid restore? If so choose advanced restore and restore system and data only this will restore the rom and your apps anything else might cause issues, like restoring old imei and stuff.
Or you could extract certain things from the nandroid using titanium backup or similar app
Sent from my GT-N7000 using xda premium

i was using cwm for my backs/restores before and i desperately need my notes and phones off the old backup.
wouldnt the imei coarse problems?

you will get all your notes back with the data restore.
It might be safe to restore the whole nandroid but i wouldnt advise it, Personally ive never tried so hopefully someone who has can confirm ?
your imei from your old not wont replace the new one, But it could modify it and leave you with the samsung generic one.

thanks for the help, hopefully i should have the phone by saturday and get testing....
