    Root [Sprint/Cricket] Any need to backup "cache" and "recovery" in TWRP?

    When making nandroid backups in TWRP, I usually go with the default (first 3) options that are checked already (I think system, data, and something else).

    Root How to move apps/backup/restore with partition/a2sd

    Does running cheap generic eBay 3.7V battery affect S3?

    Assuming that the battery itself is fine other than running at 3.7V (vs. 3.8V OEM), does that underclock the phone a bit or cause any other instability issues (either stock or rooted)? Thanks.

    Root Before installing Custom ROM questions on recoveries and S-ON

    Finally getting around to joining this forum and rooting my evOG, after I upgraded to Sprint Galaxy S3. I've been reading up on the 2.3.5 rooting guide, and as much else as I can (getting sidetracked reading up on all these cool custom roms :D ), but still not sure about a couple things. So...
