Flashing Roms

I have a Samsung galaxy s3, and have just installed Avast Mobile Security with Anti-Theft enabled. My phone is rooted and I flash roms quite frequently, usually doing a factory reset before hand. Do I need to disable anti-theft before I wipe / flash rom, then restore? or will I be fine if I just restored the anti-theft from my backup and go on from there?

Thank you

Which is your ROM?
When you do a factory reset, you will, probably, not need to disable the anti-theft.

The Rom I mainly use is Synergy Rom, which has a nightly update process. So when something “cool” is added or fixed I usually flash using a factory reset then restore my data with Titanium Backup. I wanted to find out the best steps to take for the next time I go to flash.

Well, as far I know, you don’t need to disable the AT before flashing.

Awesome! thank you much for your reply

You wont have to disable it, just be aware that while flashing, a factory reset will require you to fully reinstall it.
