[Q] Fully Backup a ROM

[PedroCaseiro]

Hello , I have an Xperia Mini Pro SK17i with stock ICS rom. I want to install a new rom with gaming purposes.
1st Question : Can I fully backup my rom including text messages , contacts , settings and etc and recover it in case i don't like the new rom ?
2nd Question : What rom do you recommend for running games like NBA 2k , FIFA 14 , Real Racing 3 , Asphalt 7 and 8 without lag and with locked BL ?

Thanks

Yes there are 2 major methods:

1. CWM (nandroid) backup. You boot in cwm and do the backup. It will backup the whole system and data etc! Everything except the kernel, so in order to restore it, you just flash the kernel for the rom and restore

2. For data only use Titanium Backup (root) or helium. You will be able to restore the apps+data on your new rom then if you like it

And there's not best rom and you're not allowed to ask for it on xda! So just look in development section and use the rom that looks best for you according to the features/design/bugs/comments/etc :good:
