Generally what I do is this each time:
1. backup apps with TiBu (I bought pro)
2. clean old sms with sms cleaner (> 14 days => delete)
3. backup sms with sms backup/restore
4. backup nova settings
5. reboot into recovery
6. factory reset/wipe data
7. flash AOKP
8. flash gapps
9. flash inverted MMS zip
10. reboot
11. choose YES to restore phone
12. immediately after I land @ the launcher, open play store and cancel the updates
13. manually install TiBu, restore all user apps (NO system apps)
14. go through and set my ROM control and system settings up again.

Okay, so how do I do #12? I have yet to find a way to open the Play store and cancel updates/restores... #14 is a non-issue, since I just bought AOKP Backup![]()
Today starts 2nd shift, 3pm-11pm. Ugh.

Well folks, I've decided to hold off on flashing b38.
It seems to me that the safest way to do it is a clean install... and while I have my apps & app data and settings & all backed up, I do NOT feel like moving ALL my pictures, ALL my videos, ALL my movies back over from the PC every time an incremental update comes out.
I guess I'll just chill here on b37 until a stable final version comes out and flash it![]()

Chief,
You shouldn't have to move your pictures, videos, movies after a full wipe. I have never had to do this, and I have done a full wipe quite a few times.


Yikes. Yeah, DC traffic isn't as bad as NYC, but it's still pretty bad. Especially if you're coming from the suburbs. I've seen the rush hour traffic coming from VA and I just shake my head at those people. What a way to waste your life.
I take the bus to work, and while some nights I have to wait a bit, it's still pretty good.

My kid was rooting through my phone, and said what is "unicorn porn" which i assume is the boot animation.

Can't tell if you're joking. Is that a real phone?not me, I'm getting the Nexus 7 or whatever it will be called the minute it is released.
So... who is going to dump their nexus for the s3![]()

I'm going to wait to make sure the radio ain't gimped first

Can't tell if you're joking. Is that a real phone?
No, I'm not joking, but it is not a phone. It is the first Nexus tablet. Goog is going to announce it in the coming weeks. I'm locked into the GNex for another year or so, so that is my next Android device.

Excited to get it back and see what the HC upgrade looks like. It bricked before it was officially released.Hi all! Sorry I missed all the fun today. Drove home from visiting family in Virginia and then had to catch up on home happenings and unpack.
j/k. Glad you made it home safe!
