I'm planning to flash a new custom ROM and want to end up with the cleanest possible system. What’s your recommended approach for preparation? I’m particularly interested in tried-and-true methods for full backups, creating restore packages, handling partitions, and dealing with potential issues during the flash process. Do you use specific tools or scripts to verify image integrity? How do you handle OTA updates after flashing? Looking forward to your experiences and tips to make the process as smooth as possible.

I always recommend making a full Nandroid backup via TWRP first, verifying the .img files with SHA-256, and saving the partition tables so you can restore quickly in case of an emergency. After flashing, use the custom ROM updater tool for OTA updates while keeping the stock recovery images as a fallback.
