Okay I'm still learning how this emunand works. Icon and theme changes in emunand affect sysnand, right? And it's also normal that exiting system settings in emunand puts me back to sysnand, right?
I just want to make sure this is normal behaviour before I go ahead and update my emunand. I don't want it to somehow update my sysnand because I screwed up.
The system settings says "RX-E" so I should theoretically be good to go right?
Once you create an emuNAND, certain things may act strange, such as some changes you make on one appearing on the other, while other changes don't. It all depends on whether the data is saved to the NAND or the SD card. But at any rate - if your system settings say "RX-E" then yes, you are in emuNAND, and are safe to update. But another guy I was talking to recently made a mistake and backed out of system settings and then updated his sysNAND. Just remember a few things:
1. "RX-E," "GW3D," or "MT-E" depending on your launcher, mean that you are *presently* in emuNAND.
2. If you are updating, enter System Settings, check the version number, and go directly to Other Settings -> System Update, do not pass go, do not collect $200, go directly there.
3. Never ever ever say yes to one of the "A system update is available"/"You must update to run this software" popups that appears on your home menu, or you're liable to update SysNAND. These are sneaky and like to pop up right after you just left System Settings and are thus in sysNAND.
4. No updating from games, either.
When in doubt, back up your sysNAND so you can do a $30 hard mod later on down the line to rescue it in the event that you screw up.
