thanks in advance.
You're going to like WS-2.1
As far as getting everything setup. You're always going to have to do some manual things to get a new rom set up just the way you want it. The phone settings only take 5 minutes (10 at most) to go through and manually set up. You can restore data to your email app with titanium, and desktop and lock screens only take about 30 seconds each to manually set.
As for google backup, there will be people who disagree, but you really don't need, (or want) google backing up and restoring your apps. Besides restoring the apps, google also restores the data for each app, which can cause problems. If any of that restored data is corrupt or caused problems in the past, you're just asking for trouble by restoring it. So disable the google backup option on the phone and use Titanium instead. It gives you a lot more control.
For example after flashing a new rom, you can use Titanium to batch restore your user apps with NO DATA, just the apk's. After that's done, use titanium again to selectively restore the data ONLY for the apps that absolutely need it. I only do data restore for 5-6 apps, that's it.
After restoring all your apps you can restore your launcher data and that will take care of setting up your screens with all your app shortcuts and some of your widgets. Keep in mind, widgets sometimes have to be manually set up, no way around that.
Hope this helps a little.
