When restoring from a NANdroid backup, should I wipe cache and dalvik afterwards?

You don't need to. You can just restore it.

I know to do a system wipe/factory reboot, but do I also wipe the dalvik cache every time?

It's the safest way to do it, yes. If I were you, before doing anything, I'd install Titanium Backup and create a backup of all of you installed applications. Then, I would create a Nandroid backup for this current rom.
Each time you install a new rom, install Titanium Backup and restore your applications. Then, finish it up by creating a Nandroid backup. In the end, you can just flash between Nandroid backups to switch back and forth between roms that will contain all of your applications and user data.

Alright, cool. I do make nandroid backups for everything and I use Titanium. I just wasn't sure on wiping Dalvik everytime. Thanks!

How to use nandroid restore?

I just installed MIUI and I didn't like it, how do I go restore to the backup I did with among RA 2.3? I only see. Img's when trying to restore and I get "oops" messages.
In recovery you go to nandroid backup/restore and choose restore and then the latest backup. Wipe cache and dalvik cache before and after the restore and you should be golden. As long as you're using the same recovery you made the backup with.
We're comin from a pure power source.

Contacts/SMS Restore CWM

Hi All,
Hopefully someone can help, I've just installed cyanogenmod, I wiped cache and dalvik and naively assumed that would suffice to be a clean install of CM, before I did the install I also naively assumed TiBu would backup my SMS/Contacts etc before I wiped, turns out this wasn't the case.
I did however take a CWM backup before I wiped the data, but after I installed CM, so I've got a backup of my data, just not a working backup of my rom.
Is there any way of restoring SMS and Contacts from the CWM backup?

Nope, just restore.

Backup TWRP

Guys, do TWRP backups work well? I still have the stock and I made a backup of the rom with TWRP, if you install a custom and if you want to go back to the stock, just format data and do the wipes cache date and system, and install the backup?
