Question about roms that require full wipe (newbie)

It has been a long time since I have installed roms and when I did in the past my HTC incredible had a sd card so it was easy to get data on/off the device.

I have noticed that several ROM installs for the HTC One m7 require a full wipe which would wipe my restore backups as well. But I wanted to maintain my TWRP backup so I can revert if the ROM doesn't work or if I don't like it's features.

Can I maintain the backup and install or do I have to full wipe ?
Can I pull the backup off and then put it back on. I am sure I could get it off but once I have a bad install not sure how I could put it back on the device.

I have S-Off and Unlocked Bootloader on Verizon device.

How to customize the Boot splash?

Hi Everyone!

Please, can anyone tell me how to change the splash screen?
The splash screen is the starting logo that comes before the boot animation is starting.
I can't find a Boot splash creator like the M7/8/9
My E9+ is rooted and s-off.

Theme / Home Screen Backup

Alright, I couldn't find anything on Google, so I'll give you guys a shot :(

Does anybody know how to back up their home screen icon layout and / or current theme? Is there a way to do it on Titanium Backup?

Any help would be awesome, thanks!

Systemless-root for RemixOS [64bit]

Systemless-root for RemixOS

64bit 2.0.205
This comes in two parts.
1. A modified ramdisk.img
2. A su.img file that needs to be copied to /data/su.img
In order to copy the su.img into position, use ALT&F1 to cp it into position or open/mount data.img using cygwin/Linux

Within su.img there are files that can be modified as if they are system files.
If you want to modify another system file; either copy it into /su/vendor or add the path to /su/systemfiles.txt
Within /su/su.d there are a couple of scripts that are run at boot; feel free to remove/modify.
su.d scripts

Feel free to post what modification you need root to do; and if possible with systemless-root I'll add it to su.img as standard.

Optional
Sticking to the above keeps system.img as OTA-updatable; replacing the ramdisk with the original will let the OTA apply
If you want read-write access to /system and break OTA - you can use the modified initrd.img

Download folder
64bit 2.0.205

32bit already has system root without modifying system - but doesn't have the benefit of altering system files.
If there is a need I will try and create a 32bit version
