Ok so I installed this rom. When the next version comes out, how hard is it going to be to install? When an OTA update comes out, how hard will it be to install the update, and the rom? I dont get what I have to do once a new android os update comes out, as well as if an apex update is released. Im confused :/
When the next version of Apex comes out:
-Depends on the changes made, a lot of times it just requires the update be installed via recovery and everything is good. If problems arise, it's usually recommended to wipe data/cache
When a new OTA update comes out:
-If you want that update (you probably will), you have to restore back to stock conditions. Easiest way is to restore a nandroid backup that you took before installing apex. You did do that right
None of this is too hard, sometimes it can be time consuming to go back to stock, grab the ota, then re-apply a new version of a rom.
Make sure that you just have backups of stuff. Keep a nandroid backup before any major change you do so that you can roll back if it blows up on you. Use the settings under privacy to allow google to backup your stuff. Then at least your apps will re-download from the market if you have to wipe data.
I can't stress enough how much I've loved using Titanium backup. It can get screwy if you restore system data (not titaniums fault, it's just a bad idea) I use it to backup and restore app data for downloaded apps (angry birds score/stats, etc...)
Just search the forum, you can see a lot of people asking a similar question. Especially when a new rom comes out, and even more so when a new ota comes out. Everyone freaks out for a while, then it calms down. If you've got a backup plan, you'll feel much safer messing with things because you've always got a way back to a stable state.
