I downloaded miui 2.11.2 and it's on ics. I was wondering if I have to flash this with full wipe cause I don't want to lose my data and stuff.
You'd probably have to wipe. Do a full rom backup in CWM and flash MIUI without wipe. If that doesn't work, restore rom and backup using titanium backup or some other backup app, then wipe and flash MIUI, and install apps and restore data.
Probably best if you download the apps yourself then use backup app to restore data only.
So far I only found the possibility to create a second ROM for Dualboot with "Install zip from".
I just wanted to know, if there is a possiblility to use a nadroid backuped rom for installation?
After making a droid backup and later installing a custom kernel will i be able to get back to original sony stock thing ? by single press of restore of a backup ?
Nandroid backups do indeed contain a kernel
Can anyone tell me is it possible to restore a backup created of my full dual ROMs?
I am running arter97 kernels dual boot 2.2.zip but reading the info he has said not to try doing a backup or restore the 2nd ROM otherwise this will seriously damage the system but I have made a backup of the full system from the 1st ROM which includes 2 data ext4 files (1 for each ROM) if I restored this backup would it work? Or would my recovery not be able to restore this correctly? ?
I use to flash new Roms every time. But then everytime I have to install the basic apps again from playstore .
To avoid this reinstalling , I made titanium backup of apps and I restore apps on different Roms from titanium backup app. But here problem is I have to root the rom to use titanium backup on every rom.
I just want to ask , how can I make a flashable zip of some important apps so that with new rom flashing I can flash this all zip too....so that apps get installed without root.
And as flashing from twrp install gapps in system partition ...so can i install apps in data partition from twrp recovery ?
Use nandroid Backup

Look carefully there is an option for making flashable zips for backup in Titanium backup itself so just find it and use it but i would suggest to try and check it first because it doesn't always work so try it first before fully relying on it.

Yes I tried it too and it is not working for me. There is option of making update.zip from titanium backup. But when I flash thi zip from twrp,nothing happens. No app gets installed .

There is an app in playstore app2zip or something developer @jrummy
please try that too and report back .
First make backup of all apps in titanium with data. Then just tap on "tickmark" button on top-right corner. Here find "Recovery Mode" and Run recovery mode with desire apps with data. Name it whatever you like.
Now Go to twrp and flash that "Recovery.zip" file that you created in flashing zip. Restart phone after 1-2 times to make it stable. (you will probably can get app crash frequently by flashing zip"
But I think in this method too you need installed titanium backup for "app-data" installation. (All apps will installed without titanium backup but you need TB for data installation)

I think miui has better options for local backup which u will not find in custom roms. I hope our devs should have included this in custom roms.
If i remember There are 2 options in miui
1-User settings
2-Apps and data
If u moving from one from custom rom to another then its always better to backup and restore only "apps and data".. Never restore" User settings". Coz restoring user settings brings bugs and crashes. Coz different custom roms got diffrent tree.
Make sure if u backup using titanium then never backup user settings. Only backup apps and data.
