is there any way to imports contacts and apps (mainly contacts) from my stock rom to custom rom? i am a noob so useful links would be helpful
Sync contacts with google or try pc companion.
Use titanium backup for apps.
you can backup you contacts on sd card with stock contacts app and then, after installing new rom, you can import it from sd card back

if you unroot your device you will lose many featuers and you cant use xrecovery so id say you dont unroot your device!
(sorry for bad english)
Use go contacts, with this app you can save your contacts to a vcf file.
what about the apps? do i need to download them again? is there any way to back up and restore apps in android?
Use Titanium Backup

Hi, currently i have my phone just the way i like it, with software, my sms contacts and such.
I'm asking this because i want to try other roms but i dont want to configure everything and install all apps each time i revert to my "Regular" setup.
How can i fully backup my phone and restore it to have my sms,apps,settings and all?
Thanks in advance!

Another way, if you dont want to restore the same ROM but only Apps, Data & system settings (includeing SMS etc.):
Use Titanium Backup
Ok I am wanting to check out some of the other roms but I don't want to lose everything on my phone. Will flashing a new rom to my phone cause me to lose all my apps, texts, and the like?
Yes... it's like installing a new Operation System on your computer.
You can make Nandroid backup before you flash a new rom!
You can also use the app called 'Titanium backup' to restore your apps on a different ROM.
I bought an app called MyBackup Pro (see here). Does anyone else use this app or know if when I root my Magic will this keep all my apps for me? I've used this app twice to backup my apps and data when I've done a factory reset, but not on a root yet.
yes that was my issue with installing a rom. What the smart people do is make sure all of their contacts are stored on their google acount, and their google account is linked to their phone so when you install a new rom it will automaticly put all your contacts and apps back on. Make sure the new ROM has can google sync your stuff

backup it using backup and restore apps. also export your contacts to sdcard. in case backup and restore doesn't work.
about the apps, download it again.
For your Apps, you can use App Monster Pro.

That is a good question from paradise_human.
For the apps apk, I used adb with pull command.
But I still wonder how I can backup and retore my personnal parameters of apps and phone (brightness, wifi parameters, etc.).
So I'm interested in an answer too.

When you log into google it should automatically sync your apps and contacts.
Added Gmail still no luck

Did you sync all your apps and contacts before you installed Liberty?
No I did not have a gmail

They only other way would be going back via backup and syncing your stuff with google..you made a backup before installing Liberty right?

Yes I did will try that
I had the same problem when I flashed Liberty. The way I got around it was by flashing back to my previous ROM, backed up my apps and data with Titanium Backup, and performed and Export of my contacts (found in the menu options while in the Contacts app).
Flashed Liberty again, Imported my contacts (also found in the Contacts menu), and performed a Batch Restore with Titanium Backup.
I've been in love ever since.

At first glance of this I thought your SD card wasn't being recognized...
But that wouldn't make sense because of the fact that you were able to restore your apps from your SD card.
Check your SD card for a file named 00001.vcf in your SD's root. If you can't find it, then the Export wasn't successful.
Since you already have your APPs back, I would suggest you make a Backup of that in the case that you wanted to try it again. If you do try it again, then make sure that (after you export, but before restoring Liberty) you check your SD card for that file (00001.vcf). If it exported succesfully, then restore Liberty and Import.
Sorry I can't be of more help.
You could simply back up your contacts with mybackup pro and restore them after flashing the rom
I'm a total noob so i need some information regarding the costum ROM. I've checked some tutorials on how to make the thing work. But i have a last question.
I need to do a full wipe in order to get the new ROM to work. So i will lose my data. I want to back them up, in order to restore them later on my new rom. So if i use the titanium backup. How exatcly do i make an backup to get it work later on new ROM.
Thanks for anwsers =)
There's no way you could just back-up your settings and then restore all of them if you want to switch ROMs because the applications would differ in each ROM and new data would be needed.
If you want to back-up your entire ROM (the original one) before changing ROMs <highly recommended, you could use the "backup" feature in xRecovery.
If you want to back-up your apps, I suggest you use Astro File Manager since Titanium Back-up will only back-up ONE APP unless you go pro.
Back-up can be found by clicking the Left Key>Tools>Application Manager/Backup
Regarding your settings however... Titanium can back-up your Wi-Fi settings or Contacts so maybe you could use that.
If i wanto install custom ROMs i do first is backup all of my phone things in xrecovery, so if i'm not comfort to use the customs i restore the fresh one .
for the contacts back up i export contacts to sdcard so i can import it for the new custom ROMs later.
for the apps and game i backup with titanium backup.
thats simply what i used to do before install customs ROM

if you have back up on titanium, after you installed the new custom ROM all you have to do is re install your titanium back up and you will see the back up apps that you have in the earlier ROM, and restore it.
