Noob question

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...

Use Titanium Backup

i USe Go Backup Pro. U can Go a Backup direct to ur Dropbox... Very nice.

Personally I use MyBackup Root. It's free and if you're rooted (you are if you're flashing ROMs) it works perfect to backup / restore apps and app data.

i use titanium backup too..
but, wht abt nandroid backup?

Nandroid you just do thru recovery, either TWRP or CWM etc

One thing to keep in mind., backing up the apps will not work when going from 4.1.2 to say 4.3 or 4.3 to 4.4. It will be messy. You would be better off installing from play store or Gapps for that version. Should work fine if the rom is the same base version though. Good luck.

I have not found this to be true.
I restored apps from my Nexus 4 (with data) from 4.3 to my Nexus 5 on 4.4 and everything came out fine.
Using Titanium Backup or MyBackup it basically installs the market APK same as if you installed it from the market.
Gapps yeah you need the right version.

I'm on 4.4 rom and going to a 4.4 rom I just have alot of apps I like and such. I would like them to stay I stalled.

I use Titanium Backup. And i think it's the best way to backupyou device.
I even use backups that i generated with my HTC Desire on my new SGS 3 over the boundaries of a new ROM.

I dont find problem with different version also.
The only trouble i got, only when i restore my contact from 2.3 rom into thus 4.4 rom, it going so messy...

I am agree with majority answers…
Titanium backup pro is best app for backup (with data)
Twrp is better than cwmr in terms of functionality and nandroid backup size
If you like to backup only application (no data) you should go with myapp sharer application.

Question about root

Hello, i have this file with me: UPDATE-SuperSU-v1.51
Can someone give me step by step procedure how to root htc one mini with this file?

To root, I think all you have to do is just unlock your hboot and flash twrp custom recovery then install root.

copy it to your phone using the USB cable or download it to your phone. If you don't have access to your OS, push it to your phone with ADB. It's like any other file you would transfer to your phone.. And run it from TWRP or CWM recovery.

What rom would people recommend for the htc one mini? I have also rooted my mini but have left it stock. Thinking of the magio rom but might wait for the 4.3 update to be incorporated into it first.

I personally haven't tried out 4.3 yet, but I'm not impressed by reports so far, that and it seems to be in it's early stages, like when 4.2 first came out it was full of bugs for a lot of phones.
Personally Magio R3 JB 4.22 and JMZ kernel have worked pretty much flawlessly for me. With a few extra tweaks and mods it does everything i could want it to and I do a lot with my phone. 4.3 is still buggy with a lot of apps, although app devs are updating quickly. And with all that said 4.4 may be around the corner.

Thanks for that. I will download and try. I was going to use Titanium Backup to backup apps and app data and then restore when the new rom is flashed.(will do a nandroid backup of stock first)
Is that the best way to restore apps+data and contacts/messages etc... or is there something better out there. Thanks for help. Much appreciated. Relatively new to all this!!

Titanium Backup is your best bet for backup and restore of USER apps, restoring a "missing" system app to a new ROM is NOT a good idea, especially if the backup is from an odexed stock rom.
Your contacts are synced to your GMAIL account, so no need to backup, but if you want to have a copy, export to vcf format from contacts settings, manage contacts menu.
For SMS, i'd recommend either Super Backup : SMS & Contacts, or SMS Backup & Restore - both are available free from Play Store....
4.3 isn't that bad, better than 4.2.2, but poor in comparrison to kitkat 4.4.2 - sooo sweet!
Oh, I'd advise downloading deodexed ROMs

No, there is no 4.4 source available for the mini..... I run it on my Nexus 7 2013
The one mini should start receiving 4.4.2 sometime during February, but dates will vary by network..... As soon as someone gets the update and provides a system dump, we can start building ROM's.....

Setting xposed modules can make your device NOT BOOTING. You can easily deavtivate the full xposed by flashing a zip via custom recovery. So you don't need a backup in most cases BUT you should only use the xposed framework in CASE you have a working custom recovery like CWM

bro i have been using the xposed framework for a long time and i didnt faced any problem until now and its better to have a backup at hand however you can use titanium backup by team track which is available either for free or paid version for backing up your apps and data

I had many cases my device was not able to boot after i changed settings using xposed modules. Thats all I said and you should not tell him it will not crash his device IF you do not know.

I use xposed have not had any issues yet but that by no means means it don't happen. This game we play moding are devices comes with risk in every aspect and at almost every turn you could change the usability of your device in one moment. Be careful read all you can about your device your working with and when ready roll the dice. But remember there is no sure way to never run into trouble

Alright i installed it haha no problems. Still so oils like to be able to have a custom recovery.... Darn..... But really liking it. Best thing I've done to my phone since rooting!!!

[Q] Does nandroid backup restore XPrivacy (Xposed Installer)

hello,
Wanted to try out new ROMs. I used Xprivacy. If i nandroid backup my phone, try out new ROMs but decide to restore my backup, will I have to re-do my Xprivacy permissions?
Thank you!
EDIT: If it matters, I'm running 4.4.1 on Nexus 5 (Cataclysm)

You can buy the donate version of XPrivacy that has a backup feature included. The point is that restoring app data from nandroids to other rom will probably not work. If you restore your full backup your setting will be restored of course.

Could you please share the result?
Edit: confirmed
