- You cannot run Titanium Backup Pro (TBP) without root, that's what it said when I tried to run it, I could be wrong.
Correct ....
You can use TBP in a "LIMITED" way before "root." All I should have stated as .... I install TBP before, rooting, just like I install Rom Manager BEFORE rooting. And I try to get CWM recovery running before rooting, (if there is one available.)
Thanks
- IMO rooting isn't for beginners. I would highly recommend a lot of reading and videos beforehand. There will always be a risk. Rooting it's self voids your warranty.
Correct ....
Yes... Lot of Reading and bunches of videos are primary.
Yep it does "void the warranty" but .... and without a FULL BKUP it is not for "beginners."
But... We "beginners" after doing a FULL BKUP, either via abd commands, before "root," and TBP after "root." should not touch their devices until CWM recovery for their perspective devices are modded. Than as this grand topic, even for us "beginners" is where the fun begins... removing that there "bloat."
- With more popular devices you will find much more development and modding. For example Galaxy and Nexus devices.
Correct ....
As for us who do NOT afford the more "popular devices," we come here, or over at xda or howardforums so we can get the less expensive / "unpopular devices" modded, and "bloat" ware be-gone. We don't like that "bloat-ware, either"
This is because we want our "not so popular devices" running like the "big boys toys." LOL
I'm grabbing a LG F6 before a CWM recovery is perfected fully, and no custom ROMS, made yet. Just a Stock bloated firmware to recover a "soft brick," if I remove to much "stuff.'"
I remember a signature that stated something like.... "we were all beginners at some time!"
Thanks!
