If you want to play with kernels, do a nandroid backup first. Then flash kernel over kernel over kernel and play to your heart's content ... until you screw something up. Then restore your backup
Backup takes what, 10 mins?

I just want backup of kernel that shouldn't take much time.. I guess using advanced backup of only system partition might save a little time but i wish i could backup only those folders which contain the kernel files
Is there any problem with frequent flashing of roms?
I mean,does switching from one rom to another every week or in a weekly manner cause any damage to the phone ?

I flashed roms more than 100 times and no problems till now
since it's noob questions about roms i have a couple of doubts that's been stopping me from trying Creed 3.3
after flashing the new rom i have to reinstall and reconfigure all the apps right?
do i have to manually remove the one installed on the sd card?
can i create a backup image to restore the phone as it is now?
thanks in advance if someone will answer these silly questions

Yes you should backup all your apps before a new rom. For that you should use titanium backup application(keep the apk file of it app in ur sd card). Backup all your apps using the batch backup option in the app. Then after installing new rom just install titanium backup app and restore all your apps. And about contacts,copy all your contacts to sim.
nice thanks!
didn't know i could restore the apps on a different rom
now i'll try to find a way to do a complete backup of gingerbread to restore in case i want to revert to the original rom
You can backup entire gb stock rom, as an "image", using pratyush's modded version of cwm5...

Hi, recently I've installed a rom,
and now I have 2.5 gb less than before in the sd-card.
When I install a rom, where does it put it ?
I have less space now and it's bothered me :X
(I removed the zip file of the rom from the sd-card).
Ohh and I installed TWRP, but replaced it with CWM. Maybe the TWRP is still on my sd-card and take space?

If i'm not mistaken, there should be a CWM recovery to resize your cache partition. Of course, your device should be rooted.

Could be your nandroid backup. Or just repartition through recovery. Make sure to backup first.

you SHOULD know that when you are using cwm recovery, you are tamping with your device, and if it goes wrong it could or could not be fixed.
read the forum for instructions, or just google it

I think that the rom took more space, because it has some more stuff than the stock rom
I'm on leeedroid v2.1 and didn't loose any space from when I was on stock strange.... Try leedroids Rom when he gets the update

@LalyGirl, The ROM should be in the system partition. If you have Titanium backup it should tell you the break down of of internal storage, sdcard ect..
or get "Quick System Info" app.
As for recovery, if you flashed CWM it is written to the recovery partition so it will overwrite the TWRP you had.

I want to flash custom roms but I don't want to be that guy to lose his imei. Now question is. If I backup my stock rom via cwm and flash a rom and get unlucky and lose my imei and then just restore my stock backup will I be okay?

easiest is to just flash synergy. it backs it up for you without doing anything and, in my opinion, an awesome rom to try first anyways
I don't believe restoring your nandroid will fix your imei. You should backup using qpst and also with the flashable zip that synergy has now implemented to be safe
synergy made a script you can flash in cwm to back it up but it's not proven to restore yet since no one has had to

Haha yeha how do you know? I've flashed like a total of three times today and just reverted back to stock. Stock rom still the best for me.. I miss the jelly bean awesomeness from my gnex. Can't wait for it to be stable.

What if! If we always waited for what if we would get no where. Take your chances live life to fullest and just have fun! Take all the precautions and take your licks as they come. This is strong commuity and there is always help here. So go out there and flash some roms and enjoy.

Isn't there a way to also back up using terminal emulator right on your device? I believe the file gets back up right on your SD card and then you can restore from there....

That backs up your EFS partition, block or what ever you want to call it. Restoring that will allow you to get data back but you will always be roaming. I have backed up my EFS, backed up using QPST and did the manual way of backing up Synergy style. You can never be too safe. Synergy is a nice rom but if you don't want to flash it there is directions on how to pull the info that the Synergy script does.

Thanks for the info.
So if you just root and unlock there is nothing to worry about with this I assume? Also, TW ICS Roms should be safe? Is it just when flashing an JB ROM this issue can arise?
Just rooting and unlocking you should be fine. Flashing any ROM has the possibility of losing your IMEI but it seems more prevalent on AOSP ROMs.

Moral of the story is even if you back up your imei your probably gonna be stuck on roaming forever.

So what's the point of backing it up if you lose it and restore it you are still stuck with a roaming device. And not functioning how it should be stock.

I think it shows an R for roaming but you are actually not roaming. So your device supposedly is working, just has a graphical glitch. At least the device works I guess but still sucks and would send back for another one anyway.
Wonder why if this gets screwed they make it impossible to recover from. Even if you bring it to Verizon they can't do anything about it?
If this happens and you have insurance. You 'lost your phone' and get a new one haha

I did a titanium backup before flashing Cleanrom 4.5 to include rpm and radio. I was very happy with cleanrom 2.1 and need to revert back due to poor battery life, very poor. Can someone help with the steps to revert including tibu help? I tried a search, but the search function is temporarily unavailable. I only see restore apps and data in tibu and not sure if that will revert me completely. I also think I need to flash the old rpm and radio, but am not sure. I waited 2 days for the system to stabilize, but no love. I also loaded crap mods and acidmusic mods, but don't think that is the battery drain problem. I am on vacation and need to fix this as I need my phone battery to last. Any help would be appreciated.

Titanium backup is only for apps and data to revert to 2.1 you will need to flash it in recovery and then flash the modern separately.

Found it on my sd card. As soon as the phone charges I will give it a go. Thanks for the quick responses.
Also don't forget, you will need to do a "Wipe/Factory Reset" before you flash CR2.1
