I own an LG Nexus 5 and as such, I am looking to possibly install a Mod due to Google not providing security updates anymore. I have a number of questions that I have researched but I get "mixed" answers. I hope others can shed some light!
1) Once I install a mod, does updates to the mod install "automatically" or is there more to it? 2) I wish to backup the current FULL system prior to this procedure. What is the best way? 3) Do I need root permissions? 4) I have read many articles to the "downside" of rooting a phone. These include applications not being able to run, needing "DRM" permissions, etc. I also have concerns that I will not be able to synch information to my Google account once I have finished. Is this true? I have extensive Linux knowledge and do not need to know the whys, etc. Just these questions and how to best proceed. I do not believe my phone is locked to a provider and I use Ting as a carrier. I really all the advice I can get!
