Guide: How To Odin Flash Root or Roms
[TIP]You can save most your apps and app Data if you Flash the Rooted stock file in Odin. Once you are rooted you can download Titanium Backup from the Play store. Back up all user apps + system data. Then go into the internal storage of your device and copy the Titaniumbackup folder to your external SD card.
Once this is done you can swap roms freely and be sure your apps and their data will be there backedup.
To restore them use Titanium back up again but select "Restore missing apps +Data". If you have questions please ask.[/TIP]
