Looking for a Guide for installing Roms on 2.2, and also making those things called "Nandroids".

Links would be helpful. Thanks :]
 
dude...check the stickies or link in my sig.

READ READ READ READ READ READ READ everything available to you. The answer is pinned to the top of this very forum.
 
*Use Astro to save all your apps
*Use MyBackup Pro to save other data (SMS, MMS, bookmarks, dictionary, moreiconswidget, system settings, android home). Do NOT use it to backup your contacts/calendar, those are saved up in the cloud safely in gmail, if you try to restore those then you might get duplicate entries for everything.
*Root & Flash a ROM: once again, this thread is not for explaining that.
*Enter your gmail info into the phone so you can access the market and re-download Astro and MyBackup Pro.
*Reinstall apps (this is the tedious part that takes forever since you have to do them 1 by 1, and you will contemplate suicide)
*Menu->Scenes->Clean Slate. In my experience, if you don't do this then when you try and restore 'home' with mybackup you will get big errors. One time I had a widget that took up parts of 2 homescreens and attempting to remove it would force-close (FC) the phone.
*Use MyBackup Pro to restore data. (NOT CONTACTS OR CALENDAR!)
*MyBackup prompts restart, do so, when it reboots you should see your homescreens more or less like they were.

And trust me, I've been doin' s tons of reading.

To flash a ROM & Make a nand backup
1. Put the ROM on the root of your SD card
2. Boot into recovery
3. Select the nandroid function in the menu and choose create backup
4. Once the backup is complete, wipe data, cache, dalvik cache and sd-ext.
5. Go back to the main recovery menu, select "install zip from sd card", then select the ROM you want to flash
6. When it is done installing, reboot
