Thinking about flashing need info

[tb110895]

I'm really thinking about flashing this ROM but I need some info/help.
what's the best way to backup my home now and how do I restore go back to the stock one. After I go back, will I get regular moto updates or will I have to sbf?
What are some steps I have to follow to flash a rom?

You'll use the bootstrapper to make a system backup and then when you want to receive updates, you'll restore that backup and be good to go. Everything else can be backed up with titanium save for contacts and SMS but Google should handle the former and there are apps for the latter.

So all I need to do is make a backup with bootstrapper and restore it to get my updates? I thought you had to sbf..
are you saying that titanium can't backup contacts or sms? That "save" didn't look like the right word. Also, I heard I have to erase all my data with bootstrap before I flash?

Ya in that instance "save" is like "except"
Titanium will back up all of your apps and data so you can restore them after flashing the rom, because yes you will have to wipe all data. You can use the contacts app to export a name card of all your contacts to your sd card and there's an app called sms backup/restore that will backup your sms

That's it? Its that simple? If there's anything else just post it.
How do I get themes and different add-ons for roms? Do I flash them just like the rom?

So after everything is backed up including your system and apps and such you'll flash the rom as per the instructions in the thread. Then there is an app included with the rom called liberty tool box that you can use to basically one click install themes and add ons

Sweet! I heard liberty is so hard to pass up and it makes the phone so much better.
What if it doesn't install right? Sbf?

if something goes wrong on instal there are to ways to fix it depending on what went wrong. It may be as simple as going in to stock recovery and wiping data again, or it may indeed require an sbf. As long as you follow directions though it should be fine.

Have you ever had to sbf? Is it hard to do?

One other thing, I saw a thread with different status bars for liberty. How would I go about installing them? Just flash them with bootstrap like you would a rom?
