Yeah you can just restore from your backup, but before ruestoring it, do the following steps:
1. In recovery, wipe your Data
2. Wipe Cache
3. Wipe Dalvik Cache
4. Still in recovery, under mount and storage, select "Format /system"
5. Then you can restore your backup.
6. Fix permissions
7. Reboot to system
And you are done.

If you want Nick's MIUI 360, you don't need to install stock MIUI, just do the steps above, but instead of restoring your backup, just flash MIUI 360...do NOT flash MIUI 360 over stock MIUI (in this case, over your backup), if you do, most likely you will get tons of FCs. If you want MIUI 360, its recommended to do a clean install, not flashing over anything.

DUMMIES, FOLLOW THIS STEPS TO INSTAL MIK_OS GINGERBREAD CYANOGENMOD 7 PORT:
FIRST OF ALL GO HERE AND READ MIK's POST and thank Mik for his work!!!!!!!!!!!!
READ THE CHANGELOGS AND THE KNOWN BUGS!!!!!
Let's suppose you have Froyo on your device and want to go Gingerbread:
- you need: root, custom recovery, and rom zip from here
- boot into recovery, go to backup/restore and do a backup. For your own privet safety, you could use TitaniumBackup before booting into recovery to backup your files and settings.
- while in custom recovery, go to wipe and perform all wipes. WIPE DATA AND CACHE IF YOU ARE UPGRADING FROM FROYO! Go to adb shell and make a /system wipe (mount /system in recovery; adb shell rm -rf /system/*), or copy this file on sd, and flash it via cusom recovery to automatically wipe your /system data
- after the wipe, put your rom on the sd card - get the beta2 here , and flash it from custom recovery.
- wait until it boots up and set the phone up. If you're stuck on LG logo it means you didn't performe the wipes corectly, mainly the system wipe.
- you will have no google apps after the install, so go here and get them, or manually download them from market
- you now have Mik_os unofficial CyanogenMod 7 2.3.3 on you phone. Install TitaniumBackup and perform a restore if you used this metod to backup your data as i described in the second step.
Now, if you have an older version of Mik's CM7:
-boot into recovery and flash the newer version just like that. It will update the one you have on your device, and no data will be lost.
GO AGAIN TO THE OFFICIAL DEV THREAD AND RE-READ THE BUGS AND CHANGELOGS. AND AGAIN... THANK MIK FOR HIS WORK!!!!!
If you have questions about Mik's port, go to the correct thread and ask them! This is not a developer thread, it is just for info, or for those of you who are new to xda and cannot post in dev threads.
AND AGAIN, THANK MIK FOR HIS WORK, AND BUY HIM A LOLLYPOP VIA PAYPAL.
I have tried your steps but could not install this ROM. It got stuck on the boot animation. An it wasn't CM7 animation. Tried few times but without any luck. Now i am back to my old rom. atleast i did not brick my phone but i will sure give it a another try
You are probabily stuck at the lg logo. You should try to wipe the system manually, by adb or flashing the zip I linked in the original post, in the third step. I had the same problem, but this solves it.

I wasn't stuck on LG Logo. I had Megatron installed, it went through LG logo, then got stuck Megatron's Android Logo. Seems the rom was never installed properly and i have tried few times.
I have wiped everything, i have flashed from the zip you provided, and also i re-partitioned the sd card but it never worked
Did you got any errors when flashing cyanogen zip? From what you said, I think you shoul rewipe everything, part the sd 0 swap, ext 2 to ext3 and ext3 to ext 4. Make sure that you have the check for signed option in custom recovery.

I have done all of the above, may be the zip file got corrupted. Anyway, i will try again this weekend. thanks
How did you do the system wipe? You flashed the zip for wipeing or did you do it from adb shell?
I have another friend that flashed the /system wipe tool, and forgot to flash the actuall rom zip file, and had the exact simptomes as you described.

I used custom recovery, nandroid back up, then re-partition the sd card. then wiped the card, then usb toggle to copy 2 zips on to sd card. flashed debug system just in case and then flashed mik's rom. I don't know where did it go wrong.
Would have been great if someone made a step by step video and put that on youtube

Yes, I think so. Don't worry about it for the moment. if it worked for you, it will work for me too. I may have missed something that i can't remember. I will give it a try again this weekend
Although if you could give me the Partition requirements. I know the swap should be zero. But how much should i use for ext2?
Ext partiton can be how big you want, it's where a2sd puts the files and other cache info. I use 512 mb, and works flawless.
I will make a video guide in the morning, and link it in the original post.

Do I need to install that new recovery? Or is the one you posted a link to OK?
There is a new recovery that's been in the development forum for a few weeks that says it's for gingerbread.

The link i posted goes to another thread that explains some basic stuff. Including the recovery. But i didn't find any problems using different versions of custom recovery. So go for which one you like more, as long as it can backup your system
1. go in recovery mode
2. wipe everything
3. then go to others
4. mount/system
5. flash the system zip
6. flash the rom zip
7. reboot
it worked for me. hope it helps
Ruwin buddy, you will be happy to know that i am using Mik's rom. I still don't know what went wrong last time. If some thing that i had done differently, that would not upgrading ext3 to ext4.
Thanks buddy for the support and the tips
Thank you very much!!! Will try this today.

Does Gtalk also force close? If so, go to the q AND a thread and download the .zip in the link the "Notices" section. Flash it in ClockworkMod, not ROM Manager, just as you would flash a ROM. Reboot, give it 2 tries and it should work fine... Assuming the problem is what I think it is.
I tried downloading the apk for the market but it keeps telling me to login then it exits. What do I do?
You need to flash gapps with cm7. You will need to wipe data then flash cm7 again then before you boot(that's important) flash gapps. Then boot up.

Yea I did that nothing
I think you should add gmail account, connect to web and let it sync. Market app will appear on your app drawer after while.
I have this issue before and this helps me.
Hey All,
I'm using J.Y.Daddys CM9, but there are no gapps, but i still want to install apps, so i wanted to ask if there is any way to install a filebrowser via OR
Thanks in advance!
When you install cm9 you whipe data first because gapps are in data pack.
If you whipe data after cm9 iinstall you lose your gapps.

Oh Ok thanks
I will reflash the ROM
I did what you said, but there are still no gapps
Just to market and get root explorer or system remover it could install.
Sent from my XT720 using xda premium
but i can't go to market because there is no such app
Sorry about that.
When you reflash did you whiipe all data before install.
If not that's why it did not install.
Other option Google root exeplorer free download.

Yes i did whipe all data, i forgot to ask, do I have to partition my sd card to ext?
No not import I have int2.
cm9 on milestone xt720!!!!
Ok, So what shall I do with root explorer installed?
this update zip should take care of the market for you.
Many Thanks
Are there all gapps in this package or just the market?
All the gapps to get market working

Do full wipes (data/factory reset, cache, in advanced, dalvik cache and battery stats) and then reflash the kernel and reinstall your rom, it should be ok.
Make sure you have backups of the information you really need.
What should i backup?

I don't know In my case the only thing i care about is my contacts, anything else i can configure again, and older txt/sms messages I can do without. You can export the contacts to sd-card, but if you want more, just do a backup in CWM, and after updating your phone, just restore the data from your backup using advanced restore from CWM.
And while you're doing all that, get nAa-12 and MiniCm7-2.2.1
Ok thanks for your help
I will do as you said and reply in this thread

it isn't more easy to synchro your contacts to the google account that you use in your phone.
with every new rom-kernel instalation I always do a backup but at this point I have never need to use it. :/ and after the configuration of the google account my contacts get restored.
