Hey there,
I'm looking to create a custom ROM, based on a stock ROM. The only additions to the custom ROM would be the addition of a few apps in the /system/app/ folder (so they couldn't easily be deleted).
After the custom ROM is pushed to the phone, will it be the ROM that is used when a Factory Data Reset is performed?
This is all for a demo phone, so I'd like to be able to reset it back to my custom ROM every morning.
Thanks
breon

Hi, is phone reverted to factory setting and all my stuff deleted after flashing new rom?
if you do a flash you will be in factory or custom settings only
all others will be deleted
Is there any way how I can backup my apps before installing ROM, so I wouldn't need to redownload them after flashing my rom? And another question: How to install ROM to my device ?Do I need any special programs to do it? Device: HTC Trophy
I'm sure you found it by looking around or searching but, WPbackup does that....backups apps and settings...

If your runninga 8835 rom now, your already running a custom rom, just need to backup, nuke and start over
I have Android, Cyanogenmod, Sailfish OS, Ubuntu Touch, and Firefox OS installed along with MultiROM. Can I update these ROMs as new versions are released without losing my data?
Can I delete my stock Android ROM? It seems to be important that it has the kexec patched kernel so I'm not sure if I can do that.
...
As for updating, it seems like there's a different method for each ROM. Is there a way to store my data separately from the ROM so I'm sure it isn't deleted when updating?
I'm still not sure if I can delete my primary Android ROM.
I've successfully swapped the primary Android ROM with a secondary CM12.1 ROM, and it looks like there is no option in TWRP to delete the primary ROM, only an option to perform a factory reset on it.
Hello everyone,
just a quick question. I'm currently on a TW (obviuosly) Custom ROM (latest XtreStoLite). Can I flash a corresponding Stock Rom over it? Just dont wont to wipe and reconfigure everything.
Yes, you can.
Hello,
Since it doesn't seem that note pro P900 will get marshmallow, I am thinking of changing to a custom ROM. I have a few questions since I'm pretty new to this. I have a Note PRO 12.2 SM-P900.
1. Will I lose the S-pen function if I change to a custom ROM?
2. Which ROM is the best and it has to be stable? - as I'm using my tablet for school.
3. Is there a guide how to install a custom ROM?
First off I'm not sure what marshmallow has to do with going to a custom rom in your mind but just so you know, in order for a custom ROM that is based upon TouchWiz to exist there must be a stock ROM available for it. That is to say that if you want a marshmallow based custom ROM that has TouchWiz functionality baked into it then a stock marshmallow ROM needs to be released by Samsung. Just figured I'd make that point clear.
Secondly, technically S-Pen function isn't lost with AOSP based ROMS but the standard baked in functions are. Stuff like, the pop-up menu when you pull out the pen, action memo, smart select, image clipping etc. Those things are in TouchWiz so if they are important to you then stay away from AOSP based ROMS and look for TouchWiz based ones instead.
Third, there isn't a ton of development for the SM-P900 so options are limited as is support.
My suggestion is work on getting custom recovery with root first. If you're successful with that then consider going custom ROM after that.
The thing I said regarding marshmallow was more in the way that since Note Pro is not getting it then I have no reason to stay on the stock rom
Is it possible for you to suggest me a TouchWiz rom then? Since I use my S-pen and must be stable.
What happens if I fail getting a custom recovery with root? Will I brick the device?
Well to be honest I believe there's only one custom lollipop touchwiz based ROM for the SM-P900 right now and that's CivZ's ROM.

As far as where to start, like I said start with the basics which is custom recover (TWRP) and root. The reason root is needed is to retain the custom recovery, otherwise booting into stock system after installing the custom recover can often result in loss of that custom recovery. You need that custom recovery in order to install the custom ROM.
There's a guide to custom recovery and root here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/gal...guide-install-official-lollipop-p900-t3154362
Worst case when trying to do the root and custom recovery is having to restore the device using a factory image and Kies so be prepared for that.
Most common issue with doing the custom recovery and root is missing the buttom combinations or a step in the instructions which can lead to boot loops and getting stuck on the boot splash screen. As long as one can get back into download mode though a custom recovery should still be able to be installed. As long as a custom recovery can be installed a custom ROM can be installed on the device. Of course this all assumes the ROM being downloaded is confirmed to be compatible with the device to begin with . . . try to install a wifi only ROM onto an LTE tablet or vice versa . . all bets are off.
