I have been learning all about rooting my new GTab and you all have been super helpful - thanks!
I have a few questions to help me understand a little bit better what I am doing, etc.:
1. From some instructions I followed, I have installed CWM and seem to understand it pretty well. Does this basically get "hard saved" onto the device and replace the standard recovery? Seems like even when I wipe the unit, CWM is still there when I enter recovery mode.
2. I followed some other instructions to install Brilliant Corners, and it had me put the update.zip onto the root and upon entering recovery, it installed it. Can I always just save any Rom's zip file into let's say the Android folder, and use CWM to find and install it, or do certain Rom's need to be installed straight from the root like BC did?
3. Can CWM save a backup of any Rom I have currently installed?
4. If I backup a current installed Rom with CWM, does it overwrite the previously saved backup? Or, can I have multiple backups on my unit and just switc back and forth?
5. I wiped my GTab when installing Briallian Corners, and now my backup of the stock 4349 Rom is gone. Can I just download the one from the following link and save it to my Android folder, and install it using CWM just like I would any other Rom?
[RECOVERY] GTab recovery firmware (official Viewsonic 1.2-based versions) - [G-TABLET] - SlateDroid.com
6. Finally, BC seemed to be the most stable for me, but then all of a sudden it has started force closing all apps upon start up and cannot be used. What is the most basic/stable way for me to go?
Thanks!
