how to backup before upgrading rom?

so i have a HD+ (don't think this matters) running hybrid, 4/22 10.1 build. there have been some updates to the 10.1 recently, my question is do i need to do anything to back up my current apps/settings before upgrading? will my things still be there after i update?
doesn't seem like it would be, but who knows. thanks

Just flash the new CM zip over the top of the old, all apps will remain.

Do the latest cm10.1 roms i.e 11/5 and 12/5 work with your Hybrid method? Because I thought I read somewhere in your hybrid thread that they wouldn't work

They do not. He used a different ramdisk on those and my ramdisk crashes. I am working on it, but may take a little while.

[Q] updating from CM 10.1 to CM 10.2

ok guys I'm sort of a newbie to this stuff so i would really love it if you guys could help me out! I'm trying to update my CM 10.1 to CM 10.2 so that i can get 4.3 and i found a post about it being possible to do it on a nook, so i downloaded all the stuff i needed just like when i put 10.1 on it and everything seemed to go fine when i was downloading it but when i booted it up none of my gapps are working (and i got the 4.3 apps that i was supposed to get) and it still says that i am running on 4.2.2....
now I'm sure i have done something wrong and it's probably the easiest fix in the world but if there is anyone out there who can tell me how i need to go about doing this update i would be very appreciative thank you very much and i hope you all have a great day!

Are you trying to update CM10.1 that you installed on emmc? If so, you can't. The version of CM10.2 that is available is for SD installs, not emmc. Flashing it to emmc will not work.

No, I don't know. But I'm sure it will be available someday.

CM10.1 to 10.2 upgrade for sdcard builds
After several tries that resulted in one issue or another, I successfully updated my sdcard install from CM10.1 to CM10.2. I think my unsuccessfuly attempts failed because of gapps. One of the links in th CM10.2 thread pointed to a GAPPS 4.3 "Core" zip file that ultimately worked for me. The other gapps 4.3 files usually resulted in the "two cLock app" error and I could never connect to Google service (Play Store and GMail, in particular). My wi-fi indicator on the status bar remained grey, never turning blue. All of my network-dependent apps worked (CNN, XDA, etc.) except for those that depend on Google.
Other issues that seem consistent:
1. Can't see internal storage (emmc); I can't find it anywhere (usual contents of /storage have been apparently moved anyway)
2. Weather Channel app had to be set up from scratch
3. News & Weather app/widget is gone
4. Background image seems to get reset occasionally (from a live wallpaper that I selected); not necessarily limited to CM10.2, but seems to be more prevalent now than with CM10.1
...
999. I'mnot certain if it is related to CM10.2, but the Engadget app has been pretty unstable since the upgrade.
-SUO, now only wants Halo and TabletUI

[Q] CM 10.1.3 RC Question

CM just announced one update to the CM 10.1 branch of code. I tried posting this in the other CM 10.1 thread, but I cannot due to my newbiness. Anyway, does anybody know if 10.1.3 RC1 will get ported to the Nook HD Ovation? Can somebody ask everygreen the awesome guy who has been doing all this stuff? I really havent made the switch to 10.2 and probably wont for quite a while. I currently run 10.1 the last one from 8/13. I wonder of 10.1.3RC has anybody better. Oh well. I hope this makes sense.

I missed the boat on 10.1.3RC1, but RC2 and eventually 10.1.3 stable should be made for our devices too.

Where should we watch for updates about when this is available? Seems all of the chatter over in the dev forum is only about CM10.2.

Would installing this new 10.1 RC from the updated in CM be wise?
Still very new to this. Just got CM put on my Nook this weekend and would hate to have to start fresh again.

I would suggest installing any RC version. They are supposed to be pretty stable and have bug fixes that you'll want (not to say that they won't have bugs of their own).

I think he's asking about updating from the CM menu. I received a notification today that RC 2 was available, will I lose all my apps and data if I update from there?

Thanks for the help!
I updated it with the internal CM updated but it kept hanging on boot and restarting so I just went ahead and did a manual install.
My Nook runs much smoother now! Hopefully it won't keep rebooting and hanging on boot as much as before.

MAG2GA rev6 what is safe for me to install to emmc?

I have been attempting to sort through all the information but, have come to a standstill. I have the MAG2GA rev6 emmc. I have heard that rev 5 is the one to worry about but I wanted to double check.
I am looking to install CM10.2 to EMMC, is this safe?
Is using trim safe?
I have heard mention of a special kernel made by verygreen that incorporates a patch from the nexus 7 is this something I would need?

That patch is now part of CM10.2 stable. No one has reported a brick since he did that. But that does not mean it won't happen.

Certain batches of the Nexus 7 contained the same faulty Samsung eMMC. Google engineers patched it up. Verygreen viewed the fix and implemented it for CM 10.2.
No one has report a brick for months now. Seems to be safe.

Already running CM10.2.1 on Nook HD+ - is an upgrade to latest CM worth it?

I have been running 10.2.1 on a used Nook HD+ for the past couple of years and it really runs well in general although I am having problems looking at Vine videos sometimes. I see a post on upgrading from CM10 to CM11 without burning another SD from scratch at
ttp://forum.xda-developers.com/nook-hd/general/how-to-updating-hd-hd-internal-emmc-to-t2863171
and my question is, have other people been able to do this successfully and is the upgrade to CM11 worth it? Is this the last CM release supported on the Nook HD+ (which as we know is no longer being manufactured)?

CM11 is well worth the upgrade from CM10.x.
FWIW I am been running CM11 nightly build 11/22/15 since it first came out and am very happy with it.

No -- you can find pointers to CM12.1 and CM13 on these XDA HD/HD+ forums.
