[Q] Restoring backup from recovery

[Manneman32]

Hi guys!

I feel the urge to try a custom ROM. I´m used to fiddle with these things on Samsung but I feel a little nervous doing it on my Xperia.

Here´s the deal: I have *230 stock firmware ODEXED with a CWM recovery. It also has the bootloader unlocked.

If I make a full backup from recovery, can I really just restore it on the Xperia if I´m not happy with the ROM I´m about to flash? The reason I´m asking is that I have to flash another kernel with the new ROM. Is it really possible to just restore everything that easy afterwards?

Thanx!

LOL! i have the same question!!
but i tried to backup the DATA ONLY (better) with TWRP(worked fine) but i restored it when i was on the same rom that i backed up from! not sure if it will work or not on another one!
but the better to select backup data only from recovery! and use TWRP!
and when i restored it... and BOOM!!! IN 167 SECs MY PHONE AND APPS AND GAMES AND MASSAGES AND CONTACTS AND SETTINGS AND EVERYTHING ELSE IS BACK AS IT WAS BEFORE!!!
