Root PORT : Saber Pac Rom 4.4.4 LG L90

Need advice on dirty flash this ROM vs clean flash this ROM . Am I going to cause problems if I just install the updated ROM over the old one in TWRP or do I really have to start all over with a clean flash? I just hate spending all that time getting the settings back to where I had them. Ive got TB for the apps and data and Nova backup for the icon layout but have to manually redo the phone settings for the ROM itself. Is the any better way to save these settings then restore them after a clean flash or am I overlooking something?

Or is there something like an .ini or .xml file that has all my settings that I can backup manually then replace after the clean ROM install to save me a ton of time and frustration? thanks

Why are you reflashing your ROM? If you already have this ROM installed and it works why reinstall and if you have a different ROM installed you can't dirty flash. If you have this ROM installed and it doesn't work dirty flashing probably won't make it work.

Assuming this is what you were looking for https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.flextrick.settingssaver. Never used it myself and I'm on stock now so can't test but has good reviews. Good luck
