Android Backup, Upgrade ROM and Restore (LG P500)

[2013/06/01 updated]
I decide back to 2.3.7 ROM my LG P500 Android phone for more responsive.  .
Here I record what I've done about backup/upgrade/restore process.
Prerequisite:
  1. Rooted
  2. ClockWorkMod Recovery installed,(Using ROM Manager to install is easier method)
Backup process:
  1. Install Packages:App List BackupROM Manager, Online Nandroid Backup
  2. Backup by tool(App List Backup, Online Nandroid Backup)
  3. Backup by manual (packages which installed personally):
    1. Backup Call logs
    2. Backup SMS
    3. Backup AndroMoney's record
    4. 費欲輕: 9th
    5. ex撥號:Settings/Advanced/Backup
    6. LIME-HD:初始化資料庫/備份資料庫
Upgrade process:
  1. Download  ROM (see history below)
  2. Upload to SD card by AirDroid or other method.
  3. Reboot to 'Recovery' mode.(Home+Vol_Down+Power)
  4. ClockworkMod Recovery v5.0.2.0 ('Menu/Home':select, 'Search':Enter, 'Back':Back)
    1. Wipe data/factory reset
    2. Wipe cache partition
    3. Go Back
    4. 'mounts and storage' do: -> format /system
    5. Advanced/Wipe Dalvik-Cache

    7. Go Back
    8. install zip from sdcard
    9. Go Back
    10. reboot system now
Restore process:
  1. Skip the account login (Because I use 2nd phase login which requires phone operation workable)
    1. for Google 2-step verification log on Android 2.3.x, check google page.
  2. Try restore manually at first.
    1. System Settings/Account/Google Account
    2. Install Link2SD, enable ext4 and auto link
    3. Use App List Backup manually restore required apps
