A few questions about my at&t HOX

[adamtalife]

1. My device is rooted with the bootloader locked, is nandroid backup only for devices with unlocked bootloaders? When ever I "attempt" a backup it gives me first a green symbol, then a red.

2. Why is it when I try and save a picture sent to me via mms, it doesn't save and asks me to insert an sd card? I have about 6gb of memory still available and obviously, this phone doesn't have an sd slot.

3. Has anyone else experienced text message font re sizing by itself? It doesn't stay at the size I set it at. Any known fixes?

For 1, what recovery tool are you using to make the nandroid?

 

[adamtalife]

Well your question just let's me know I'm not doing something. I'm not using a recovery tool and wasn't aware I needed to. New to this stuff, what do you recommend?

I believe that to install a recovery tool, you may need to have your bootloader unlocked. What's your purpose for making a nandroid? since you are not looking to instal customs ROMs there is no real need.

I have rom toolbox pro and just messing around with that, scrolled over to the interface section and noticed I can change font, status bar icons, notification background. I was able to change the font but nothing else.

I'm not really interested in flashing. I like sense 4, just wanted to be able make minor changes like my wifi icon, battery icon, and notification theme. But I get the impression that's not possible without flashing.

That's correct. You will have to flash those changes. There are other ways but they are far more complicated. If you like your stock look and feel, I would not mess around it. If not, you can try the sense base ROMs like CleanROM.

Yea the only thing holding me back is I heard cleanrom was laggy. But I'll look into it more also. Thanks for your help!

Actually CleanROM is a very good ROM not laggy at all. From what I have heard the developer will be releasing an update soon based on the asian stock sense update with ICS 4.0.4 which brings even more fluidity.

Well, I've been thinking about the idea of flashing cleanROM if it could enhance the multitasking. Now me already being rooted, if I decided to unlock the bootloader, could I use just any method on xda? Really don't want to screw up and brick my phone lol

Yeah, you could use any of them. I would of course read and read until you feel comfortable. You don't want have doubt mid way through the process. IF you have any questions posted here or in the XDA thread.

 

[adamtalife]

What about lag during games, freezing, or crashing?

CleanROM is essentially stock with bloat removed, and some minor tweaks. It IS stock, from a performance perspective, with minor gains due to bloat removal. There are other features too, but if performance is your focus, you can't go wrong going from stock to CleanROM. You are also not going to notice an improvement (in performance).

Unless of course you overclock, which is doable easily with CleanROM... in which case you might notice an improvement in speed.

Thanks for breaking it down. Like I said before, I'm new to this, never flashed before so I'm trying to find out everything I need before I make a decision of wether or not it's worth the risk to me.

As of now I don't have the knowledge or the confidence to unlock and flash. But you guys are being very helpful and I appreciate your input.
