It seems enough people are interested in it I will go ahead and release it. To Use this backup you must copy it to a folder (either on your sd card or external sd card) to a directory named backup. The open metro back up and choose restore and choose the backup file. You may want to backup your phone settings so you can can go back to the way your phone was. You will also have to goto accounts and add at least your gmail account for the playstore. If your not feeling the 360 theme there is a few more to choose from as well. I am not responsible if somebody manages to damage their phone or does not first do a backup!

Please Note : This is not a rom, not a rom , not a rom! There are no roms (at least not yet). This will however give you a starting point after root, especially if you do not want to deal with debloating and risking soft-bricks yourself. I am not even sure which changes will copy with this backup file. For example will it retain my boot animation? This is just an attempt to offer some "options" to Motion users.
 
It seems dropbox will work fine as long as it dont exceed 20g a day. I do need a tester since restoring my backup added a few apps I had along time ago (not when I backed up). Just want to be sure before I release...
 
Well it would give people an alternative. already debloated and semi tweaked. As simple as just restoring A backup after root.
I personally would have preffered this than doing everything manually, its more of a starting base.
 
Put the file in a directory called backup either on your internal or external SD card. The difference here is we can backup and restore with metro backup, we can only back up with the nandroid.
 
this is in no way shape or form a rom. i understand that we are all wanting a rom but calling this a rom is not fair. this is at best a theme and not even that. while its nice for the op to try to help others. getting ppls hopes up when they see the title and then seeing what it is is disappointing. it should be said in the title that this is not a rom quotes doesnt make the rom statement ok . if the frame work has been changed what changes are there. did he add v6 supercharger for instance or anything that makes are phone better in anyway. i am not trying to be nasty i am just speaking the truth

ps to the op you even went so far as 2 name it please understand how wrong that is please change the title to this thread its very misleading.

this title should be. i made a back up of my phone you can use it if you want your phone like mine.
 
Im in no way trying to cause controversy, hence the rom in quotes as its not really a rom but as requested I changed the title. Like I stated this is just something people can use as a starting point if they so choose. I didnt think many people would be interested in but Im just trying to give us some options since the bootloader unlock is not looking promising and the apk file for custom recovery even if it did work is not a very good option.... I named it null & void b/c hopefully we actually get an unlocked bootloader and this type of stuff becomes void quick....
