If i flashed a custom ROM and then Flashed The Aloysious theme over it, is there a way to remove the theme without re-flashing?
NAND restore
what if i didnt do a NAND backup??
W/O wipe just reflash your rom...i think this works heard from another

I have the Lowrider theme right now and was just planning on wiping Cache and Dalvik cache and then just flashing a new theme over it....would this be okay? Also, if I wanted to return to the stock theme on Myns 2.2 RLS 3 then would I just reflash the ROM? Thanks.
Anyone sure if this okay or not?
I dunno, nandroid and try it. The worst that could happen is you'll get a boot loop. I flash the original ROM to remove the theme then flash the new theme over that.
I have flashed a theme over a theme several times without problems, to get rid of a theme just reflash original rom. I have never had to wipe but if you have problems than of course wipe
After playing around with several ROM / kernel combinations I am looking to return to the latest stock Rom. I have the PC36IMG file on my SDcard and will be installing via ClockworkMod recovery. What is the proper procedure to ensure the cleanest possible installation? Im a bit scared of all the options in recovery such as all the format options in the partitions menu. Do I need to format everything? Will any files be carried over? I know I will need to re install Clockwork and SU app just want to make sure everything is as clean as possible. Thanks in advance.
cleanest possible? Flash this in recover. It wipes 100% of every every time.

If you are just changing kernels, choose wipe catch and delv catch.
Changing to a different rom you need to wipe everything.
Thanks for the tip. I am running a custom kernel so I'd be looking to wipe all of those files as well as the ROM. The ROM I am using is just a re packaged RUU, does the RUU completely wipe all data or will I still need to manually wipe?
You should always manually wipe. I never count on something else to do it for me. When I am changing roms I always wipe data/factory reset, cache and davlick, plus I use calkulin's format all tool that the other responder to your question attached to his post. That way you know nothing will be left over. Before you do all that, remember to make a backup of your current configuration just in case something goes wrong. I have been bailed out by nandroid backup a few times.
Also one more thing, there is a Rom on here that is the latest stock already rooted which would make it much easier on you. You could just wipe and flash and still have SU and all other benefits of having root. Just a suggestion.
I found the stock rom thread. It has both odexed and deodexed version. Odexed will probably boot faster, but deodexed can be themed and/or modded. Heres the link: Stock 3.70 EVO Rooted
I reccommend clearing the cache, and then wiping the dalvik to ensure a clean rom. After that, just flash your rom. As always if you are unsure, you can backup your SD card.
Hi, I have installed RCMix HD, now how must I do to install extras?
Thank you.
Just like the ROM. Flashing the .zip files.
and this doesn't cause any damage to the installation, is it right?
No, it does not.

Thanks a lot. And the kernel? is it important to install?
For install extras and kernel, must I even do:
wipe data/factory reset
wipe cache partition
wipe dalvik cache
?
DO NOT WIPE a thing... you'll have to Re-flash everything then.
Just Flash it as normally would. (However it depends on the extras - some people said that for the Power notification extra you need to wipe dalvik if it is NOT Working).
Kernel? If you are not satisfied with the stock RCMixHD kernel, then you can flash others, just as the ROM, no wipe.
and if would I delete extras after installing?
I'd wand delete Customizable personalize button...

Make a NAND backup before you install something.
If you don`t like it, you can go back to the NAND backup.

I have installed it without NAND backup...how can i delete it?
how do I do NAND backup? with ROM Manager?
Nandroid backup can be done via custom recovery (CWM or AMONRA).
Now you can't delete it, just if you do a full wipe and re-flash the whole ROM AFAIK.
Hello i am currently on CM 7.03 and am wanting to change to CM 7.1.0.
Is there any way of updating the software without flashing the new ROM?
Also to update by flashing the new ROM do i just have to wipe cache and reset factory settings then run the zip from CWM?
Thank you for your time.
u only need to wipe cache and dalvik cache (only to be sure) and flash the update..thats all
no factory reset or other wipes are needed
So am i right in thinking that too change between ROMS thats all that you have to do? (obviously having made a nand backup)

yes and u will not lost any setting
Ah that's good. I will still do a back up of all my messages and contacts regardless.
I thought i would lose everything again, considering that the first time that i flashed a ROM i came from stock and rooted with Revolutionary.

you lose everything when u do a factory reset/wipe user data from the recovery
the factory reset/wipe user data is necessary when u change the rom (like going from a sense rom to cm7)
but when u just upgrading (cm7.0.3 to cm7.1) u dont have to factory reset/wipe user data..only wipe cache and dalvik
btw always do a nandroid backup before upgrading
NAND backup, flash the rom, flash the gapps. You might want to clear cache and dalvik-cache too. It shouldn't be necessary to wipe your data.
and what if I also want to flash a new hboot and don't want to lose all my data? can I first update to 7.1 (from 7.0) then do another nandroid backup then flash a new hboot (which require wiping everything, I understand) then restore from nandroid backup? Is that possible or there is another easier way to do it? thanks

That should be possible if you are flashing the CM7 hboot and have not modified any system files as the partitions should still fit after the hboot update. However I recommend you do some more research or back up your data with titanium backup (in case it fails).

nice! thanks!
Installed CM 7.1.0 by just wiping the cache and dalvik and it all worked perfectly.
hello guys, i am using PA rom now, but i want to test another rom, but i have so much apps and so much configurations, is all in titanium backup but every time i install a new rom i must restore data for apps i want, so i was wondering, nandroid backup can restore all my files and even the rom that i was using? and about performance, when i want to go back to PA, is better restore a nandroid backup o clean flash and reinstall all apps?
and about the procedures is like this:
Nandroid of ROM 1
wipe and flash ROM 2
wipe and restore nandroid backup.
my question is about the correct procedure to restore, do i need to wipe data before?
i like to test s much roms but is so bad to take about 3 hours to configure everything when i come back to the i was before.
thanks in advance

Titanium Backup and Carbon(Helium now ) doesn't cause any issue due they restore only /data/data/APP datas
Wipe data is need (ALWAYS) over Rom switching for different Settings and Features, e.g:
AOKP -> PA : Full data wipe ( i prefer add wipe system due nightly script recovery that keep gapps ) + Restore Carbon is right procedure
Pa -> Pa: in theory you need only wipe cache & dalvik
Nandroid is evil, restore nandroid data backup is same of dont do anywipe due nandroid make image of data partitions, and reflash it
Nandroid is usefull only as backup ( data lost or nightly fail or something like this )
I suggest anyway over change rom , delete /sdcard/Android for new system base.
so use a nandroid is valid? no performance loss when using it?
i want to try codex rom but i already setup everything i wanted on PA and i dont want to flash codex, and if i dont like and want to go back to PA i must setup everything again. this is the main reason i don not flash roms to much. i few months ago i never stayed in same rom for a week, but now i am tired to setup the same things again.
so if i make a nandroid of my current rom, flash codex test a few days, and restore nandroid everything will be fine like was before?
