Ya ... you flash a theme template to get the "stock" look back.
OR ...
you nandroid backup b4 flashing a theme ... and if you don't like it ... then nandoird restore.

or flash the rom over again...

Only if it's a full ROM or the addon contains the full app and framework setup ... so for instance, if you're using the Makin Bacon addon, reflashing would not revert a theme implementation.
So that's dependent on the ROM in use/being flashed. Thus, nandroid backup/restore is the safest bet.
~enom~
well makin bacon is not a ROM, it is an addon.

Hi guys, as above, full stock rom that is rooted that I can flash through clockwork and that won't replace clockwork with standard recovery, already asked in q+a but no joy, so I am asking here, many thanks!
Sticky recovery?

Stock roms replace clockwork with standard recovery, u have to remove a file to stop this happening. I know what I am asking for exists, I just can't find one with a working download link.

Thanks I did see that, but that has tweeks etc.. I am looking for straight stock, not altered except for root and that recovery file removed.
If all you're out to do is keep Clockwork, flash this after flashing (but before booting into) stock rom.

This and keep root, should I just flash super user zip at the same time?
Thanks for the help.
Yeah, that will work. What the above zip does is remove the script file that regenerates stock Android recovery, so Clockwork doesn't get deleted on every boot.

any question is in here right? haha
What version of CWM recovery is in this? Maybe raver or someone who's flashed this can tell me.
Sent from my SGH-T959V
It uses TWRP as the thread title states.
Nice work Raver!
For those not familiar with the Aroma installer, there are some good options in the "Advanced" screen. For example, I don't know if Audiophile ICS preserves /data by default when flashing. Aroma lets you back it up during the install process.
If you have a modem that you prefer to the KJ6 modem that is bundled with this ROM, you may want to use the Advanced settings to disable the modem flash.
Additionally, TWRP will let you stack zips, so you can, for example, flash in one pass:
ROM
gapps
Your own modifications in a zip
Kudos to Raver for not packaging gapps and obeying the licensing requirements imposed by Google.

Amazing work raver. This is my favorite rom to date so far. It is running flawlessly for me. You once again have outdone yourself.

you can just install if you want to keep anything do the custom install and then click backup data/restore data so it keeps your files in tact ... it will auto format system data cache for you
you will need to download a gapps package do to the fact i cannot include it in the rom itself i dont have a link for one but i think there is one floating around here.
ok i went to install the rom and my phone just resets
check md5 of your download if it matches try a reflash.
ok how do i do that im not used to flashing this phone yet my admire was easy to flash

Definitely a fun ROM!
I just noticed that Droid48 doesn't scale well to the "mini-tablet" format, but that is likely an app problem, not a ROM problem. Still totally usable, just funny to see the little calculator buttons and labels.
SuperUser didn't update properly for me through Play -- I'll see if I can reproduce later on.
Is there a way to convert a ROM, say the ICS ROM to a cwm flashable zip? I was wondering as I wanted to fix the su problem before flashing.

I think you can flash the ICS rom on your phone then get the rom files via "adp pull" and put them into an update.zip. It's just a sugestion, I have never tried :silly:. Or you can make an update zip only with the modfied files.

I'm interested in this too
Hi guys,
I was wondering if I should root my nexus 5... What advantages would it have over the unrooted phone apart from custom roms? Any special features?
Thanks!
No special features. But custom roms. Why wouldn't you root? My motto, if you can do it, do it. And put a recovery on.

Yes, besides custom roms/kernels also for Adblocking, Titanium/Nandroid Backup, theming and tweaking etc etc.

One silly questions, if i then install a custom rom/ change rom, would all the data be erased?

If it were me, I'd root it, put on a custom recovery, and make a nandroid of it right out of the box. Then I could always go back to brand new easily. Right now there are no custom roms but that will change fast.

If you full wipe yes, but you can restore apps and app data with Titanium Backup or Helium.

Look in the development forum. Chainfire has a root method and cwm and twrp recoveries are there.

CF Auto Root is easy as pie, download and extract the right file, enable USB debugging on the phone, go into fastbootmode, connnect to the PC and select root.window.bat in the extracted file.

After you rooted install a custom recovery to make a nandroid backup and to be able to flash roms and kernels. First backup your apps and settings with TB or Helium.

Also, i need to be a root user to use helium right?
Thanks a lot!

You need to use a custom recovery to make a nandroid backup before installing a new ROM but yes, after you root, install a custom recovery, make a backup and copy it to a safe place that won't get wiped during ROM install, you are ready to play around. It is always a good safe practice to already have any necessary drivers on your computer so you can use fastboot to rescue your device if you make a mistake and brick it.

Look here for custom recovery`s http://forum.xda-developers.com/google-nexus-5/development and no you don`t need root for Helium backup.

Sorry for being pedantic... So once I have helium, i can change rom as many times as i want that as long as i backup everytime before i do it, i can put it back in just a couple of minutes even if i changed rom right?

Take a backup of ur data and files using titanium backup or any other u prefer or feel comfortable with.
Then wipe the whole system in the recovery, again install the ROM and u will be gapps free.
