Root How do I restore my sense pages after flashing

I hope this is a simple answer and I just missed it over time. I have Titanium and I use nandroid, but when I flash a new ROM, all my sense screens have to be rebuilt. Is there an automated way to save / restore these screens that I'm just missing?
 
Are you backing up only User Apps? Sense is a System app, so if you're only backing up User Apps, then it won't restore the Sense settings.
 
I wouldn't consider this very possible. Keep in mind that backing up and restoring system apps is very dangerous when switching to a new ROM from a different one. It can completely break the new ROM if you try to restore system apps from a different one.
 
A lot less headaches just manually replacing your shortcuts and widgets. How often do you flash roms that this is even a problem?
 
I use a custom launcher and restore all of my other apps first, then the launcher. since the launcher's data is saved, it automatically restores all of my home screens that way instead. I still have to set up my system settings such as leedroid tweaks again myself though. So there are some ways to save your home screens and settings like that, but not everything can be saved from one ROM to the next one. I also hate Sense, not anywhere near customizable enough of a launcher for me.
 
There is an app in the Play Store called My Backup that will back-up almost everything on your phone including "Android Home" which is the configuration of your home screen including shourtcuts and what-have-you.

There are 3 different versions I believe...a paid version, a root version, and a free version. The root version is also free it's just got some other options that the free one doesn't have.

Make sure you restore all of your apps before you restore your Android Home or else it'll leave blank spots where your missing apps are.

And, as the other person mentioned, there are launchers you can get from the Play Store that have this functionality built in. I know GoLauncher EX is one of them that does this.

Again, as has already been posted restoring system apps and settings across different roms is usually a recipe for disaster. Numerous force closes if you're lucky.
