If someone can help me clarify a few simple (simple for those who know what they're talking about) things for me regarding Root/ROMs for my Droid Eris, I will greatly appreciate it.
To start, here's the current state of my phone:
> Rooted
> Running Nonsensikal Froyo (CyanogenMod-Nonsensikal-v16.1-Black&Blue)
I did this a while ago and it was easy enough, but I'd like to try running Gingerbread and as I read through thread after thread a few things have me slightly confused. Plus, much of what I read seems to be more directed at the person who is starting from scratch with a stock device, while mine has already been rooted. I don't really need instructions on how to root, I need a better understanding of how to change ROMs. I am not necessarily well versed in the language of Android software development, but I'm generally pretty tech savvy, just to give you an idea of who you're working with.
Basically, here's what I want to do and some of the questions I have:
1) My phone is already rooted and I want to try a new ROM (one of the Gingerbread ROMs). What is the proper procedure for changing to a new ROM?
2) How can I make sure that I don't lose my apps, especially the ones I paid for? Titanium BackUp?
I understand that many of you have spent enormous amounts of time and energy to create exhaustive threads filled with detailed instructions on how to do these types of things, but I am unable to find one that simply explains in a clear step-by-step form how to change between ROMs correctly/safely. If I have overlooked a thread containing this information, please direct me there. Any help will be greatly appreciated. Thank you, in advance.
