I installed my first rom (MIUI) yesterday and everything went well thanks to alot of reading. I like the way it look but i miss Sense. I did a backup before I flashed it so what is the steps to recover the back up with clockwork??

Go back into recovery > backups> restore > choose the one you want. The names of the backups are based on the date you made the nandroid

Before I do that do I have to wipe anything?

I won't hurt........I always wipe cache and dalvik cache. Your phone will take a few minutes longer to reboot.....that's about the only drawback.

Not necessary, but it wouldn't hurt anything. Calkulin's Format_All.zip wipes Cache, Userdata, Dalvik, System, and a few others that I'm forgetting. If I remember correctly, it's just a script that tells your recovery to wipe all those things. Like I said before, I like to use it if I'm ever changing ROM "brands" (ie going from MIUI to CM7, or From Myn's to CM7, etc.) because the systems are usually significantly different
i believe wiping before doing anything regardless its restoring or flashing a new rom is the way to go with Calkulin's format all and his clear temp. just in case it misses something. but thats just my opinion =)

So guys this is what I need to know
I want to know if the recovery that u use affect the internet of your phone cuz I was using workclokmod and I was running elite3 and the internet speed was pretty good and even the xda app was loading fast just 2 days ago and 2day I flash the ra_ recovery 2.3 and I flash the same Rom but the internet was acting gay and even the xda app was taking 4 ever to load so I want to know if the recovery method affect this or what

Perhaps just crappy signal as of late, but your recovery has no effect on your internet speeds.
Someone correct me if I'm wrong...but I don't believe the recovery you use has any effect on your internet...you could have had a bad flash...but that's all I can come up with...I'm no dev tho

Was it the same rom version and kernel and all that?...no difference?
Sent from my nightly EVO
Try a full wipe, wipe dalvik separately, then re-flash. Also make sure you're using a good kernel for your rom. I recommend netarchy for Sense or Savaged Zen for AOSP

Honestly, I'm not a huge fan of Titanium Backup. But like I said, try doing a complete wipe of everything, wipe dalvik twice (for good measure), and re-flash. Also try just re-downloading your apps instead of using the backup program.
And ffs, sync with your Google account. It will save you a ****load of time

Do I have to clear catch or anything else before restoring Nandroid backup?
Sent from my SPH-D710 using xda premium
Restore, I never have and haven't run into any problems. I'm assuming that everything is getting written over during the restore except basic phone info and the modem. Others may disagree with me. If you want to clean and wipe the various caches before restoring, I don't think it will hurt anything.
The modem does not restore?

I have never wiped when restoring.

No, modem will remain what is currently on the phone even after a restore. you'll have to flash the modem to the one you want.
I never wiped on restore and no issues here.

Wiping cache and dalvik cache never hurts, so it's nice, but not necessary, when restoring a nandroid.
The modem (i.e. baseband or radio) lives outside of the data portions of your phone, therefore this will neither be backed up nor restored via nandroid.

i updated my phone from gingerbread to ice cream sandwich. i did a nandroid backup for the gingerbread. if i decided to go back to gingerbread, i just gotta go into recovery and do a restore? or do i gotta reset wipe factory again and wipe data,cache dalvik?
I flash dark side super wipe before restoring

Before flashing anything even if it's nandroid, it is always best to wipe it clean.

And flash proper radio before restoring, if necessary

The recovery restore doesn't reflash my old radio and kernal? Cuz I'm not even sure what radio it had. So I pretty much need to do all the steps again like I'm flashing a new but use the the restore in place of flashing new rom.

The recovery restores everything (including kernel) but not the radio. I have switched back and forth between ics and gb a few times without ever wiping before a restore and never had a problem. I would argue its not necessary but certainly doesn't hurt.
Why don't we format system when we flash a new rom? I remember doing it with the epic touch..
You might find that updater-script's format /system as part of the install process, so it wouldn't be necessary.
Its recommended when flashing aokp. Don't know about the others

Me too, I wipe everything but the storage, and if I'm flashing from aosp to tw or vice versa will wipe it all a 2nd time just to be safe and make sure it got everything, probably not necessary but I'm a lil ocd about wiping for clean installs :screwy:

Hello all,
So I'm running Scott's CleanROM AT&T SE 1.5. I want to install the latest version of CleanROM ACE onto my phone now.
This was my first custom ROM install, so I've never switched ROMs like this before. My question is do I need to do anything special to flash ACE, or can I just do it through TWRP like I did last time (from stock to CleanROM)?
Any help is appreciated!

You do it through twrp like you did before. You will need to backup anything you don't wanna lose. I use titanium backup to backup my apps, apps data and texts. You will need to clean flash coming from what you are.

Read the OP (Original Post) for the directions on how you should flash the rom. Read read read.
Clean flash means clearing all data of previous rom. You wipe cache, wipe data, and wipe dalvik in recovery.

Yes, read alot. If you are asking these kinds of questions you need to read up more. Search on here. Look on YouTube, there are plenty of videos

Thank you both very much. I'll do some more research and look around.

Download the updated cleanrom to your external sd card
Boot into recovery and do a nand backup
Wipe cache, dalvik cache, and data 3 times each (its easy if you go under "advanced" tab in wipe and it let's you select all 3 to wipe at once, then do that 3 times)
Click on install tab and navigate to the rom zip and flash away.
You shod be in familiar waters now.
