how long does it take?

How long does it take to root forever? And what's the most stable Gingerbread rom?

 

[Klubhead]

Back when I rooted it took about 20 min. or so.. Cm7 is probably your best bet for gingerbread, tho there are quite a few out there

Can you use the Cm7 if you flashed using the unrevoked 3 ? or do you have to use the forever one?

 

[Tonay]

You can use CM7 using unrevoked 3.

Is there a Pure GB Rom with nothing added?

 

[Yourdogsdead]

Yes, it's nothing but AOSP rom. Very nice too

 

[DETERMINOLOGY]

Rooted took me maybe about 5 mins..Also cyanogen 7 is a great rom

 

[rem_kujawa]

I am pretty sure I have the rooting process down with unrevoked 3, that's pretty strait forward. Its after that I know I rom manager to flash roms. But what do I do to back things up right after the root. I hear a lot of apps throw around like Nandroid, and titaium back up.

This ASOP rom is pure just like a Nexus S? And can I get it from the Rom manager?

Well, the nexus S doesn't have as much as Cyanogen does. He added a lot of things to the ROM, but it's still plain vanilla Android. You can get it from Rom Manager.

OK, what's the best backup method after root.

 

[Yourdogsdead]

For individual apps, Titanium backup. I would recommend you buy it so you can do a batch restore.

For the entire ROM (Do this before flashing a new one), NANDROID.

 

[rem_kujawa]

Ok, its just what I should do before I start flashing roms after a root that has me questioning it.

 

[Yourdogsdead]

Install custom recovery (Clockwork or Amon RA)
-Done through ROM Manager

Download ROM of choice. Make sure Google Apps is checked

Install ROM (Download through ROM manager or Install ROM from SD Card)
Make sure that the Backup and Wipe are checked.

 

[rem_kujawa]

So I can use that to back up even the stock EVO Rom? I'm sorry for asking so many questions I just want to be sure. I haven't modded anything since my Palm Pre.

 

[Yourdogsdead]

Yes, It just copies the NAND of the Evo to the SD card. So everything is saved. Including apps.

 

[rem_kujawa]

Cool, thanks for the help

 

[Yourdogsdead]

no problemo

 

[rem_kujawa]

To install clockwork recovery I just tap Flash ClockworkMod recovery? And one last question a when you do a backup whats included? Is it just a Snap shot of your currents setup?

Is this it well except on the EVO the bootloader screen it white. From there I should be able to restore and backup or through the Rom manager App. Then to install roms I just use the app and pick one I like? Is it really this easy?

 

[Yourdogsdead]

Yeah, it will then flash Clockwork
Nandroid backups everything in your NAND. Apps, settings, texts. Basically just like you have your phone now.
You can install ROMs through Clockwork as well, but doing it through ROM Manager is easier
Yes, it is this easy.
