1. IMHO, you should extract necessary settings or data and restore to your new rom. You can use AppExtractor
2. No need to delete everything before restoring
3. Your choice. There is touch version out there. Try and love it

Thanks for your reply i really appreciate it.
i was saying that if i wana go back to my stock rom (original rom) wich is not rooted can i restore it using CW?
if i flash back to my stock nandroid backup using CW my phone will not be rooted and it will restore the default samsung rom?
its just my theory though i haven't tried it yet i`m asking question like this for my future reference

Well...
Yes your device wont be rooted and will return to the stock rom.
Since the nandroid backup copies the whole partition. just like Norton Ghost does on the pc, so your phone will just go back to its exact status it was at that time.
You wont need to wipe user data/factory reset, because of the data partition being restored by CW.
Well you are asking for a recovery. How did you make a nan backup if you have no recovery?
Or you used the stock one? if you used the stock one, aren't you able to use it to restore?
Or do you want a new more powerful recovery?
As in the previous post they mentioned, use the one you like, with the most options

Going from cm10 to rooted stock?

Hey guys, I'm thinking about flashing cm10, now that basically everything is working, but I was wondering , if I make a backup of my current stock rooted Rom, then flash cm10, and decide to come back, can I just go into recovery and wipe everything and then click restore and be fine? I ask because I'm not sure if I can do just that considering the whole software version change. Thanks in advance guys!

This should be fine. Just make sure that you installed the latest K-Exec recovery via the dd method. There have been some problems with EX Recovery app. Also some older recoveries had problems with making and restoring back-ups.

Yes
Stay on your stock rooted rom, boot to recovery, and create a nandroid (backup). After you create a nandroid, go ahead and wipe all data/cache/davlik and proceed with the installation of the new rom/gapps
If you dont like the new rom, go back into recovery, wipe everything again then go to restore and restore from the nandroid you mad

Okay thanks guys !

[Q] Rooted my phone, now how do I flash a custom ROM/kernel?

Finally was able to succesfully root my phone last night, and now I am wondering how to actually flash a custom ROM. I figured I'd start with Cyanogen since its the most popular and seems like a good starting point. So, I have a few questions.
1. How do I install the custom ROM? (Cyanogen in this case) Also, is this process the same regardless of what android version I have? (I'm currently on the stock 4.1.1 OTA)
2. Should I install a custom kernel? If so, is it the same process? Also, is my data wiped just the same as with flashing a custom ROM?
3. If I make a backup with Titanium Backup, will I simply be able to access/redownload my app data it if I redownload Titanium after I flash the ROM?
Any and all help is appreciated!

I'm sure everyone has their own advice, but I would say first thing you'll need is ROM Manager
Download the ROM you want and place it on your sdcard. Use Titanium Backup to backup your applications, and then restart your phone in Recovery Mode. When in recovery mode, make a backup by going to "Backup and Restore" > backup. Then do a factory reset and wipe your cache. Install the new rom and enjoy the addiction

Also...be careful making sure that any kernel flashed is compatible with the ROM you are flashing. If not you can brick your phone.

Does restoring TWRP backup maintain all settings, apps, configurations?

I'm considering trying out a different ROM on my T-Mobile Galaxy S2. I've done quite a bit of modifications to my stock 4.1 ROM.
I made a complete backup of my phone using TWRP recovery (both system & data backed up).
Now, if i decide that after trying someother ROMS, i decide to revert back to the stock ROM i was using, can i just restore my backup with TWRP Recovery and all my settings, apps, screens, etc. everying will be restored just like it was before i put another ROM on?
I've been very hesitant to try this for fear of needing to reconfigure everything again.
I assume everythig restores as original but i need confirmation.
Thanks.
James

Yes, it does....if you do a full backup...
And by the way, questions belong in the Q and A section....cheers!

In case of full storage wipe.

Hey guys.
I just moved from my Samsung Galaxy S4 to the Oneplus One few weeks ago. I had rooted the S4 and I am familiar with the whole rom flashing and kernel changing process. I usually store the file I want to flash in the SD card and flash it via TWRP. But the OPO doesn't have a external slot. This is making me think if I should root my phone or not since there is a chance of me wiping the OS off along with the data. I always take a nandroid backup but what if the backup itself is deleted from my phone? Is there a way to prevent this from happening?
Thanks in advance!

save your backup to pc before wipe
use fastboot method for install rom and firmware
replace backup from pc and restore
twrp support mtp mount
you can access storage even without OS

When wiping with TWRP use the advanced wipe feature, then only select system, data, cache, and dalvik cache. This won't wipe your internal storage so all files are safe.
