Root metamorph

[Viralmind]

should i do nandroid backups every time before i install a metamorph theme?

can the themes cause issues that would make not doing a nandroid backup a bad idea?

*I already have a "root" nandroid backup to be able to restore or fall back on for a clean install. (root only - no custom ROM installed)

so before installing a metamorph theme, i would:

go to recovery:
--------------
-nandroid backup (with custom ROM already installed, not plain root)
-wipe
-reboot
-install theme from sd card with "metamorph"
-power off
-reboot in recovery again
-then nandroid backup for theme?

is that right? or is wipe not needed?

if thats not right, please explain.

Before you install anything...
- nandroid..
- install your "whatever..."
- check if it works, like you want it..

- if it works, cool
- it does not work - > nandroid restore your state

I sometimes do. It depends on how careful you wanna be. As long as the morph is for your version you will usually be fine.

I just don't want an extremely long list of backups @ 60 something mb a piece.

The nandroid is saved on your SD card. I usually rename w/ rename with rom and whatever extra crap I put on (cyan5053/oc-uv) and move older backups to computer via USB mount
