[HTC Amaze 4G] b737:
First and foremost. I BIG Thank You to all the Dev's that give us these awesome tools and ROMS!

I probably should have put this in the Gen section, mods move if needed.

I have sent several hours the last 2 days with a goal in mind. That is to update my Amaze 4g to Jelly Bean, and restore my phone as it is now running JB

I feel that the best option will be AIO, and the 4EXT touch panel...be glad to pay and contirbute to this program and dev.

I believe I have a handle on most things now. But to make sure, I reread the tutorials follow videos etc...then this tutorial seems to direct me to another thread, click on that to ensure I'm not going to screw things up...it will be a dead link. So, back to reading other stuff again.

I finally understand recovery after I saw it mentioned many times. SO, according to the AIO, I'll need to flash a recovery. I couldn't find in my search, do I use the 4EXT contol panel, or the 4EXT free file. Is that what AIO needs. Not sure, did more searching. Still not sure.Then after these steps are complete, do I need to update the kernel? Again, not sure.

Then I come to the point of backing up everything. My goal is to have the new ROM running and then restore everything as it is now runnig ICS.

Is that possible? I'm not sure, as my search didn't find too much useful. I see Backup Pro recommended, will this accomplish my "cloning" if you will of my phone after ROM update....not sure.

Then, in regards to S-OFF. I will use the AIO for that as well. But again, not sure when to use it. Do I do that after the rooting, or before. From what I read, S-OFF will wipe your data. But, I understand it will leave the external SD card alone?

Then I get to the actual Jelly Bean ROM. It seems as though the CM10 seems to be the one to use. So, as i read about it's features; I see that the speakerphone volume doesn't work. Little confused, as to if speakerphone is the actual handset or the speakerphone when selected.

If it's the handset, I don't use BT so I would be DOA. Does this pertain to all the JB ROMS? It looked like there were only 2 actual JB Roms.

My other concern not addressed yet. A mention of the service being dropped on TMOUS with CM10.

So, I have tried to find out my info, but even when I do; it seems to take me to another path of more information. Hence further confusion.

This is not really a question per se, just wanted to show how I followed several paths; and still confused .

I know one of my biggest issues, is not using the search but inputting the correct data to get the answer I'm seeking. Which is why, I was all over the place.

I'm sure some reading this post will be Fire,Ready Aim. That's OK...Life's to short. After 2 days of this, I have to ask myself...is it worth it to me to accomplish this? Answer, Yes. So, I'll keep trying, till I have a comfort level of doing everything right the first time.

I guess, even though you have produced some great "Hand holding" tools, tutorials etc; there are still some "dummies"..me, that can still get confused.

I guess it would be like me putting you into the B737 I fly, even though you have a manual that tells you everything, you'll still have questions.

Thanks for allowing me to vent.
