IF I do root, it will be within the next few DAYS! Just a few questions before I do it:
1. I know I hafta download all the things and follow all the steps in THIS POST. Once that is done is my phone ready to use just like I am using it now?
2. How do I not lose all my data for apps and all my settings and what-not? All I am asking is how do I backup all my pics, app data, and all my Nova Launcher settings, etc.?
3. How do I install a "custom ROM"? I want a Jelly Bean 4.2 ROM.
4. What are generally the most used/trusted/best running ROMs?
5. How do I download a different kernel? Because my kernel wakelocks a lot and keeps my phone awake too much! I want a more efficient kernal!
6. Lastly, I do not know a lot at all as a lot of the people on here. BUT I do have my reasons for rooting (I want JB 4.2 and multi-view; better battery life; and even MORE customization).... so do you think I should root with my limited knowledge?
Thanks to all that can help me out!
