One more thread for quick question. Could have used the discussion thread we already have for 6X custom ROMs.
you can try restoring the data and see the difference.

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 ?

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...

A question about the ROM,do I have to S-OFF my phone to install this ROM,because of the bootanim that was changed to old.splatterhand's bootanim.I went to the old.splatterhand's bootanim page and saw that S-OFF is required to install the bootanim.So I'm just curious to know if I'm required to S-OFF my phone to install this ROM.Also,how do I backup my app data and all the other important data like messages,contacts,Wi-Fi passwords etc.?Can I do it via CWM recovery and can I restore it after installing a new custom ROM?
The S-Off is from a time, where we had no kernel that removes write protection. I think i have to remove it
You can install the rom also when you are S-On.
For the backup:
You can make a backup in your recovery. This will save the state it actually is and restores (if needed) the same state, 1:1.
Also useful, a backup tool, like Titanium Backup. This app makes a backup of all of your data, apps, messages,contacts,Wi-Fi passwords etc.
Both is recommended!
If I restore the backup from my CWM recovery,does it restore the stock apps too?What is dalvik by the way?

Use google for dalvik, i can't explain.
I recommend TWRP recovery. There you can choose what you want to backup and restore.
Hey can you give me another link to this ROM I don't understand French
Sent from my HTC One SV using xda app-developers app
Hi.
For the S-off thing, just follow what's said in the rom thread, no need to s-off, the bootanim is included in the rom, that's it.
For the french thing, just read the thread again, i added an instruction on how to download.
Quick question : why didn't you write your questions directly in the jbstocklight rom thread instead of creating a new one ?

Hi just a quick question, just wondering what the tell tale signs of corrupt efs is. I'm a noob about this and seek knowledge, reason I ask is I reflashed stock over stock just because I had battery issues and relocked bootloader etc. But do not have a backup efs, what signs should I look out for if there is any issues.
Thanks

What are the main causes of a corrupt efs is it a bad flash or something like that.

I apologize for asking this question since there are several variants of it all over this forum. I just haven't quite found the answers I'm looking for.*
When you read this and respond, please keep in mind that I am a major noobie. Pretend you're talking to a child. **
My reason for wanting to root is to take advantage of certain apps like BoostVolume, AdAway and TitaniumBackup (can't remember the others I wanted...).
At this time, I don't want to install a custom ROM. I'm just not ready to take that chance.*
So...
Can I get some of the benefits of rooting without installing a custom recovery?*
* * *If so, what will I gain and lose by doing this?*
* * *Will I still get OTA updates? *Will an OTA update remove root access?
For some reason, I'm really stuck on continuing to get OTA updates...I guess I don't want the responsibility.
There are good threads for "major noobies" to read.
Start with the "read before you root" thread at the top of this q&a forum. Also, search general for "ota help-desk". There is a rooting thread stuck at the top of general too.
Please read those then let is know if you have any questions

Thanks so much! *I've been searching and reading all week, and I either found conflicting answers or unclear answers...frustrating.
I had read "Before you root" previously, but hadn't yet found the Beginner thread (top of General), which has been the most helpful.

Yeah, I'm not sure why I'm leery of flashing the updates. I guess I have to take it slowly and start with rooting (without custom recovery).
I don't think you can root without custom recovery. Don't worry about it. If anything goes wrong, which is very very unlikely, you can restore to stock in fastboot.
Sent from my Nexus 5
If you are going to root, I really suggest getting s custom recovery too. Then you can make a nandroid backup and generally undo most problems that may happen by returning to that "snapshot" of the os.
But using fast boot to restore a factory image will fix these too, with stock recovery, but will erase data.

You can root by booting into a custom recovery and then flashing supersu, fastboot boot recovery.img. You don't need to install one.

I had planned on using CF-auto-root, so I didn't need a custom recovery. I had based that on my fear of changing too much, but I also saw this, which I'm probably misunderstanding?
From Chainfire: (I am personally moving away from custom kernels and recoveries, for various reasons).
The more I think I understand, the more confused I get. It seems I'm getting lost in the terminology. To completely understand my options, I need to back up and go through the definitions and CLI commands again. A lot of what you're saying is going over my head. I think I've read too much and some information just isn't sticking.

Don't worry. It's actually very easy. If you know about 2 fastboot commands you'll know just about anything you need to.
fastboot oem unlock, unlocks the bootloader
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img, puts a custom recovery on your phone

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
