you would have to wipe before moving to AOKP or AOSP if you want to keep your apps+data you can with titanium backup pro if you are rooted.
How?

now that you asked for the procedure for backing up with TBP, i will assume that you are rooted already. Get the app from market, choose the backup location, run the batch operation (check mark on top right) choose backup apps+data (do not backup system apps as restoring them on custom rom is not advisable). Flash the rom of your choice, install TBP again choose the backup location, restore the apps+data from batch operation.
Edit: just fyi you can also ask the same question in your thread you started, the thread you open is not limited to one question, you will get answers to your question if you continue asking questions instead of creating a new thread.

When I checked there. I saw the option to backup user apps. I just run that right?. and then I should wipe off everything in the CWM to flash a new ROM and then all I have to do is to just restore my apps.. .. Thanks a lot buddy!!!

if you move down further you will also find backup userapps+Data option. i just found the screen shot on google:
Here it is from older version but should be there.
Edit: follow the instructions on how to in the Custon Rom Thread.
backup the user apps + data so that you are able to retain the app user data as well.

I hate it when all apps are removed to change ROM. I want to try Nik's JB and I dont want apps to be removed whatsapp....
try Ultimate Backup Tool for non-rooted and Titanium Backup for rooted
In this case it should be enough to do a nandroid backup. You can test JB and if you finished testing, you just restore your old stuff. The JB ROM is amazing but it's not a daily driver yet so it's kinda needless to install all your apps on it

What about the backup and and restore on the recovery? What is that used for?

After backing up with titanium on your old rom
Download titanium on your new rom and you can re-install, but beware that restoring data from different roms may cause FC's
Can you set Titanium to only restore the apks, no data and cache? That should avoid most issues I suppose?
The interface is a little ... busy... so I havent really given it a go yet.

Buy the premium version of titanium backup then you can batch install apps instead of installing one at a time.

Yep. What I usually do, is go on the batch section click restore app, and choose app only. And then use app+data for my games, so I don't lose my scores and saves.
You could always restore the data partition from your old ROMs nandroid backup. Works for me.
For rooted phone, I'd suggest Go Backup.
Titanium Backup is much more powerful, but some essential features, like batch backup/restore, require paid version. And it loads pretty slowly on my Incredible S.
Go Backup offers backing up both apps and their data, as well as SMS/call log/contacts/wi-fi access points. Go dev team has recently added backup merging feature, which works fine either.
Today I installed 4.1.1-based ROM from Nikhil, downloaded Go Backup from the Market, ran backup restoration and voila, in 5 minutes I got all my apps back, including paid ones.
This app is constantly being updated, which is also a weighty argument (at least for me).

So if I restore my ROM from a previous backup, it will restore all my apps with data too?

Is it really the same restoring an app from a backup as from Google play? Market links work and the app is registered by the os, integrated into the share menu (facebook for instance) and so on?
Just trying to learn how android works... Something like that would never work in windows, registry entries would probably break...
Nonverbose can you please explain more about the nandroid backup. I tried titanium and it worked.
I am curious about your method.

nandroid is the backup/restore function in you recovery A nandroid backup will save your COMPLETE ROM with all apps, data and everything else. After a backup you can install whatever you want on your phone and install new things, whatever. And if you had enough, you can restore your backup and your entire phone will be just like when you did the backup It's also a great method to switch between ROMs for example your daily driver (let's say ProjectX) and JB Evolution You can configure both ROMs like you want it, do backups and switch between them The process of backing up/restoring a ROM takes about 5min.
I hope this answered all your questions
Yup I tried this one today but I didnt know it was called nandroid. Thanks
1) Is there any way to add them to a rom based at cm and android 4.2.2?
2) As we know from sammobile, note will take the 4.2.2. From the roms we have now, if they release the 4.2.2 for note, could we just take the samsung apps with upgrade of the rom?
3) Now i am at tw based rom and i want to try some 4.2.2 cm based roms. From titanium backup, if i take backup from all the apps, including system, it will install the system apps when i will restore them? i know that we shouldn't keep system apps backup.
4) How can i save my contacts to google account?
5) Where does the titanium backup save the backup files?

agree with baz77, i suggest u not to do restore apps or app data, because different ROM has different structure, so if u restore apps or apps data in the different structure ROM from ur previous ROM, it'll mesh everything.

When you flash it with Flashtool, unselect wipe DATA, anyway you can backup your phone with your google profile, that will auto redownload all your apps.

I thought Google only backs up app data, but not the apps themselves? And the order of apps on my launcher would also get lost. I have yet to find a backup solution that really backs up everything, just like iTunes does....

Wrong, also using Titanium means you have rooted your phone.
Hi guys,
I am thinking of moving from the stock HTC software on my One to CyanogenMod, and i was wondering a few things:
1. How can i move all my stuff?
2. Will there be any issues installing as currently I am rooted?
3. How hard is it to install?
4. How hard is it to move back to Sense 5
Any help is appreciated!

1) With a full wipe before flashing the rom.
2) No... You must be rooted and unlocked (bootloader) for install it.
3) Easy, if you will read the instruction
4) The same of 3

So hopefully its as simple as
1. Make titanium backup (without system apps, of course)
2. Flash CyanogenMod
3.Install titanium backup on CyanogenMod
4.Restore

Also with ROM manager you can back up you're current ROM and the later restore it of you do not like CyanogenMod

Also if you use twrp, probably cwm too, a full wipe does not wipe /data/media. Unless of course you format the sdcard.

Hey sam, i am complete newbie and let me tell you, even for me it was super easy. the installation was a breeze.
i had done a full wipe and my contacts were already backed up with Google. So they synced perfectly. i just lost messages. but titanium should do it for you.
go ahead. the CM is really really fast. i am loving phone now. have installed Nova on it and its complete lag-free.
As others said, full wipe Only wipe the system files no file on the SD will be touched. I also suggest do a back up in recovery just in case.

Anyone know if it's possible to do a backup with safestrap and flash a different KitKat rom? I'm currently on a KitKat rom, but what if I wanted to flash a different KitKat rom and not want to lose my stuff? When I mean lose my stuff, I'm talking about losing my rom setup...not text, logs etc. Basically I'm asking how to backup with safestrap like we did on jellybean since safestrap hasn't been updated to work with KitKat.
If it's possible, could someone share the how to steps?
Thanks in advance.

You can back up texts, call logs, etc. With super backup from playstore. Then make sure pictures are on external sd card. Backup apps with titanium backup.
Then follow guides on installing other rom. Once your up and running reinstall titanium backup, restore apps that you want. Restore logs and texts etc with super backup.
Safe strap backs up the whole rom. So that will do you no good for installing texts and such back.

You can't do a NANDROID backup at this time. You can use Titanium Backup to backup everything on your phone (app+data, text, call log, etc) If you restore it to a different ROM make sure not to restore system apps because that can cause some conflicts.
