hi all I've got the leedroid ROM on my phone is it possible to flash any ROM just to try them all?

Yes, although most roms will ask you to wipe data before flashing them) so create a titanium backup of all apps (user apps not system!) And a nandroid backup just in case

I wanna experience what JB has to offer, my question is: normally when I have to do a full wipe to go to a new base on a rom e.g going from a 1.29 base to a 2.17, I did a nandroid backup upgraded then restored just the data from the back up it worked fine will that work if I am doing it with an AOSP rom incase I like it? Thanks

Use tb to backup your apps then restore after upgrade
I used to do it your way. However much less app problems with titanium backup.

I am wondering what is the best program to use to do a complete backup of a new Note II before I root it. That way I can return it to stock if I need to.

Download TWRP or CWM (these are custom recoveries) and do a nandroid backup. You need to be rooted first.

Hi, I have a SPH-L710 that's flashed to pageplus. I heard somewhere that flashing an aosp rom would break the pageplus flash, but that touchwiz roms are okay. I wanted to ask and see if anyone knows if it'll actually break the flash or not.

Make a nandroid, flash and see, if it doesn't work restore your nandriod
Does a nandroid backup the files from the flash?
Going to take a leap of faith and just flash it. Ill post back how it goes
The nandroid should back all that up
Yes it works. You can't flash a phone to pageplus on a aosp ROM, but afterwards you can use one

Ive made a backup of the stock ROM. If i restore the back up, do I have back the stock kernel? If not, where can I find it and how to flash?

if your bootloader is unlocked then you do not need to backup stock kernel. when you flash rom zip it will flash kernel too. also nandroid backup does not require you to backup anything else as far as i remember. it backs up everything.
OK thanks. Does anybody had a screenshot of the stock software info? It looked like I was not on stock kernel.

restoring a nandroid backup will restore the kernel you had when you made the backup. If you don't have one with stock kernel and rom look here >>

uninstall it from the app's settings. If you don't have the app install it from Play first then uninstall it
Can't install or uninstall from Play Store

flash this from TWRP http://download.chainfire.eu/452/SuperSU/UPDATE-SuperSU-v2.02.zip
then uninstall it
Ive flashed it, but got a Boot loop. Maybe because I have a newer one installed?

Oh man. Such confusion on this thread. A nandroid backs up your system, data, and boot partitions. The boot partition contains the kernel. You can also choose to backup the cache and android secure partitions, but by default, these aren't backed up.
Restore your stock backup to restore the kernel.

Top get out of the bootloop, and enter recovery, do this:
Hold down the power button and vol up until your phone reboots (around 20 seconds). AS SOON AS THE SCREEN GOES BLACK switch from vol up to vol down. That will put you into fastboot. Choose hboot from there using your power button and navigating with the volume buttons (you don't have to navigate for this one, it's on top). Then you will see an option for recovery. Navigate to that, and flash your stock backup.
