---About BackUp Before Install---

>>Do not recommend backup apps because it will change into a completely different version, the better once you have installed Android ICS, download it from the market. .
>>Just do a backup of your contacts (if you do not want to lose and re-enter manually), if you sync your contacts with your gmail or google account is not required to do backup because google is responsible for restoring your contacts list.
>> Make a complete backup of your current rom, this is for if after the installation of Android ICS, you decide to return you to your previous version, restore the backup you just the way you left your previous rom. To make the backup, with the phone on, press the POWER button until appears to turn off menu, select REBOOT and then select RECOVERY, the phone will reboot into Recovery Menu (remember to use this menu is Volume Up = Up, Volume down = down Call Button = Select or Enter, Power Button = Back), select "backup and restore" and then "backup" and wait to the backup is completed, once completed, select "reboot system now" to restart the phone. (the backup is saved in sdcard in a folder called "clockwork", don't delete this folder if you decide someday return you to your previous version)
