Hi all,
I have a Nexus 4 and i have unlocked the boot loader and also rooted the device with all the help guides around. I now wanted to consider using RASPBEANJELLY and TRINITY KERNEL. I have never flashed a Rom (Flashing i can do or learn, so is not a problem) and have several Q's to ask any pro's who have gone through this journey.
CURRENTLY: Stock Rom Unlocked and Rooted
AIM:
1) I wanted to make sure i preserve all my data and not have everything wiped ala factory reset as i do not want to set it all up again if at all possible.
2) I wanted to install RASPBEANJELLY and Trinity Kernel.
My Questions:
1) Do i just install the new Rom/Kernel over Stock or would i need to to a factory reset? and reset all those caches..? (hence rebuild my phone again)
2) Is there anyway of installing the new ROM and Kernel but have all my programs backed up to install or would i need to re-install one by one.
3) Just incase i screw up, if i make a Nandroid Image via TWRP can i just reflash that and expect everything to be "exactly" how it was before.
Lastly, i don't want a zillion features BUT some of the features in RASPBEANJELLY is good and i am hoping to increase battery life.
Thanks for help, pointers advice and pitfalls/tips
