Hi, I'm a noobie flashed my first rom today, I am encouraged by the success and want to try a few other roms, but have some questions first. I am rooted and have an unlocked the bootloader. I currently have twrp 2.5 installed on my phone as well as a rom from this site (unofficial-DST w/mods-unlocked bootloader only). I installed the rom by flashing using the carefully laid out instructions in the op and it worked great. I made a nandroid backup of my phone after the installation and saved it to both the internal and external sd card.
Questions,
1) Can I now just flash custom roms over this using TWRP (after appropriate wiping) or do I have to return to 'stock 4.1.2' before using twrp to load the next rom?
2) having made a nandroid backup of the rom I flashed today, can I now just return the' dst w/mods...' to my phone if I go to a different rom and then want to go back to I tagain or can that rom only be loading by flashing from a pc?
3) in the about screen, there is a 'kernel' shown for the 'dst w/mods...' rom. In the future, if I want to load a rom with a custom Kernel, does this count as a 'kernel' or is there some sort of 'stock' kernel I need to use in it's place? If such a thing is required, can't you point me where I can find it?
4) I have older nandroid backups with stock ICS which worked well for me. If I chose to go back to ICS could I do it by flashing the ics nandroid over a rom such as dst w/mods..., or is that not possibl
Still have a lot to learn, but appreciate all the work done here and the help you guys provide. Thanks in advance!
