[General Questions and Answers] mjjcb:
I've been rooting for about 6 months on my Galaxt S3, and I started doing that after recoveries and roms were well established. In about a month, I'll be ordering a LG G3 from Sprint, and all the development is in its infancy. So, now there are things I need to know about that I didn't seem to necessarily need before. I have a few questions.

What is an MD5? It seems like a way to verify the authenticity of a file. Is that right? How am I supposed to use this information when a dev gives the MD5 as he posts a download file? Do I check it against something before I download or after I download but before I install? Where would I find it to compare to the number he gives?

Also, please correct me if I'm wrong: A clean flash is when you wipe data, partition cache, and delvik? And a dirty flash is not doing those wipes and flashing on top? When would a dirty flash be better than a clean?

One more thing. (sorry for so many questions in one post) I've always done the three wipes above before flashing a new rom, but I've been trying out ART from time to time on various roms just to test the effect. When wiping delvik in recovery, will that also wipe ART? Do I even need to be concerned with wiping ART?

That's enough for now; maybe too much. Thanks in advance for any help you can give me.

Need to put twrp or cwm on there.

I found a link for your device to actually give you dual boot of either one here.. Silly concept but if you Google it you can the links to install either on your device.

Once you have that on your device, boot into recovery and make a backup.

---------- Post added at 06:34 AM ---------- Previous post was at 06:26 AM ----------

Download MD5 checker. Md5 is a signature verification.

You are correct on flashing. Dirty flash is generally used when you screw something up and flash the same file over the current one, or when doing nightlies from cm or similar, or if you're doing a mini update of a ROM.

Art/dalvik.... Art is in its infancy. Lollipop will be the first ROM to be exclusively art (to my knowledge), there are some other custom Roms out there that support art but while it's better, it also breaks things like xposed so a lot of us don't mess with it. To my understanding art is apparently superior to dalvik and doesn't require the wipes and such that we do with dalvik and cache.

Recovery Mode Xperia P

I have a rooted Xperia P. When I try to reboot into recovery mode with TWRP, ROM Manager or Quick Boot, and tap reboot into recovery mode button, the phone just restarts normally back to home.

there are roms that will work on some devices and not others. Sprint and Verizon have completely different modems and bootloader.

In your install are you using a stable build or nightly? I have slimkat running perfectly.

Yes, you can launch things from terminal emulator.

For instance, to launch hidden menu on my l3 g3, in terminal emulator I use:

su

am start -a android.intent.action.MAIN -n com.lge.hiddenmenu/com.lge.hiddenmenu.HiddenMenu

I put the "am" line into a file called "hiddenmenu", put it in system/bin, so in TE I only have to type:

su

hiddenmenu

To launch the app.

I'll suggest one. ViperOne. It has more customizations built into it than any other.

It was the first one I tried 5 months ago, and I've never left it except to test drive a couple different ones.

Have a Doubt................

I already made a Nandroid backup for my old Stock ROM using Philz Recovery.... Now i'm on a Custom ROM (I'm not going to change form this;);););););););)) Just to know only i'm asking...

Is there any steps to follow while restoring the backup (like clear cache, flashing the stock rom and then restore the backed up file) or i would simply go to the recovery and then just select the restore option... The thing why i'm asking is, once i reverted back from some other ROM (i simply restored did nothing) so many of the backed apps were missed and so many apps not worked... I had flashed the entire Stock ROM from the beginning and installed all the apps newly.... Consumed a lot of time... So someone please tell me the exact steps in the detailed way to Restore using CWM Recovery or Philz Recovery.....

PLEASE REPLY:D:D:D:confused::confused::confused::confused::confused::(:(:(:(
[General Questions and Answers] Megaflop666:
You should always wipe before putting anything on. On a restore everything gets replaced but I do it anyway. As far as speed, if your backup is on your sd card, it will take a lot longer to restore than if it's on internal memory. That being said, depending on the backup it can easily take 5 minutes or more to restore.

And cwm is a little slow anyway. :-/

[General Questions and Answers] xunholyx:
Use the recovery you did the backup with (cwm).

Pick restore (i think, it's been a while since I've used cwm, i much prefer twrp)

Pick your backup (if you didn't rename it, it will show the date of the backup-probably the earliest one).

The rest should be self explanatory.

Can receiving a lot of e-mail decrease the life expectancy of my phone?

I've been reading into mobile phone technology for quite some time now and have this question that haunts me when I try to sleep.

I receive a lot of e-mail on my mobile phone on a daily basis, and I was wondering if this will affect the life expectancy of the built in ssd. Also, I notice that chrome on a mobile phone is very persistent about open tabs, I recon that the information about the open tabs is also stored on the phones ssd, wouldn't this technically also decrease the number of writes to the ssd?

I'm talking about the MLC ssd that my phone has. Somehow it makes me kind of worried.
