1) Spend several days reading how to root the phone
2) buy a clip - whatever that is
3) get hold of a Linux computer
4) Use the clip to allow the phone to be manipulated thus voiding the warranty
5) load software to the Linux machine then from there to the phone to do a backup of the ROM
6) back up ROM
7) load software to Linux machine with new ROM then add to the phone
8) buy backup software
9) back up phone.
Or, download readily available back-up software. Some of which even allows you to back up your apps as an APK file to make it easier to transfer them. Further, at least on my X, I can just plug the phone into a USB port and drag and drop files at will (unrooted).
