That is not necessary if you do it in the right way. And by the way, after an update your changes will be lost.
I understand that an update would ruin manual changes, but this was more to try and see if it would work at all - which it didn't for me.
So which would be the right way to do it, since I can't figure out at which point things are broken - or does it not work at all right now? Sorry, confused sheep here
