i want to try out some new roms but i want to make sure i save all my data. ive been backing apps by copying the from app folder in phone and the only data i can backup is from apps that have a backup to sd feature. the solution i seen most people use is titanium backup but after i change rom and re install titanium the backups i made for all my apps dont exist anymore. ive either followed the wrong tutorial or im not doing something right, can anyone give me a quick guide?
 
Easiest way is to do a contact backup, and copy the entire contents of your phone onto your PC.

Or use Titanium backup if you want.

I don't back my stuff up other than contacts....But I have...and all I needed to do was reinstall the app I wanted and then copy over the remaining userdata into the appropriate place. (drag and drop...skip all existing files....copies over the rest)
