Simply back up your apps with Titanium Backup, and put your contacts on your SIM card if you haven't already. Everything on the internal SD card isn't erased after a factory reset (in TWRP anyway, not sure about CWM), so you don't have to worry about pictures or stuff.

EDIT: I guess dual booting IS possible. I stand corrected.

Also I don't need the 2 roms to be running at the same time, I just want to have 2 roms on the phone that I can switch between easily w/o have to back up everything

Well dual booting is essentially what you described (which means the name is a bit misleasing), but it seems to only be possible on the international version from my research.

    Use the built in import/export function for contacts as well.

    You can dual boot with a modified recovery...

    Look up Multiboot. It's in the forums here somewhere.
