Default Restore after flash with widgets?

I have a very complicated widget set up, but I would like to try some evo 3d roms. I know someone is going to say don't have so many widgets, so I'll save that person the trouble. But is there any application, hack or trick that will restore full home screen after flashing a new rom? Someone must know something.

I use go launcher currently and I backup my home screen. But after the flash when I go to restore the backup it's not there! All the geniuses on this forum I know someone has the solution!

I guess titanium backup might help you if you have rooted ur device. you can back up all ur apps (take home screen backup on go launcher) with data. Then after flashing new Rom restore ur apps. I guess go launcher will be restored with data(home screen backup). You can now restore home screen from back up that u had taken on go launcher. Not sure if this would help as i use launcher that comes with Rom i flash.

Thanks! This is the frustrating part of flashing roms and such. If someone invented an app that completely restored home screens with widgets after flashing they'd be rich!

Nova launcher does this but there are risks with doing it. Android is not set up to allow it. Even with Nova it states that if you allow it then it can see everything that happens on the screen from then on.

No. You would have to set up nova from scratch and then save the backup
