- Boot into CWM Touch Recovery without Flashing it
- Boot or Flash .img Files directly from your PC
- Install a single apk or multiple apk's to your phone

It's all command line, but it's all pretty easy to follow along. If you'd like to give it a shot, you will need to be using Windows, and you can grab it at the source.

After you root your Nexus and a new version of Android becomes avaliable, how easy is it to update your device. I know with my iPad I have to backup all my apps and contacts. Is it the same or does it update and keep everything?
