Default How to save your home screen?

I have my Nexus rooted, and everytime I update to a different rom, or theme I have to redownload all apps which I just use Linda's app manager for (works well) I never figured out how to use AppstoSD, my main problem is I want to know how to save your home screens so I don't have to REDO everything everytime. It can get quite annoying.... any help would be great.

If you use titanium backup, it saves the data of your apps, so when you restore them, everything is its right place. However for the widgets, it will say "widget not found" in place of where the widget once was. You just need to delete the widget and put it on the homescreen again.

MyBackupPro is also for root now and though I have both, I prefer MBP.

go download an app called "AppBrain" and then go to their site and sign-in/make an account. Sync your apps on your phone to app brain and thats the only app you'll have to install when you wipe the phone. You can also browse the market on their site.

AppBrain is aPITA - you can only install apps one at a time. If you change your settings you can make any apps you download sync with google. If you wipe and sign in it'll start redowloading and installing them

Izmar answered it. If you do a titanium restore, then reboot your phone, all your icons will be placed back to where they were on the home screens when you backed them up.
