before you flash a new ROM?
where is this done from?
TIA
judging by your question, I guess you don't have ext partition.
Otherwise you would know it can be done through recovery
As said in recovery. Wipe --> Wipe Ext
thats the thing i cant find it in ClockworkMod Recovery
I dont see a Wipe menu
when it starts i see
reboot system now
apply sdcard:update.zip
wipe data/factory reset
wipe cache partition
install zip from sdcard
nandroid
partitions menu
advanced
if i goto advanced i see
reboot recovery
wipe dalvic cache
Wipe Battery Stsas
Reports Error
Key Test
Under Partitions menu
there is a format sd-ext, is it this??????????

After i installed Leedroid 3.0.7, still on ClockWorkRecovery i pressed reboot, and now the phone is hanging on the "Why so serious?" screen from Alpharev by one hour now. I didnt remove the battery because in the topic says to dont remove the batery while the first boot.
What should i do? Help!!
Did you Wipe userdata before flashing?
hi,
gives few details more plz
Yes, i did wipe factory data, ext cache and dalvik cache. Then i installed Radio_32.56.00.32U_5.17.05.08 and then the ROM. And before all that i created the ext3 partition with rom manager, and installed the alignment-ext3.

I would partition your sd-card again following this guide:
http://leedroid.com/bravo-wiki/partitioning-your-sd-card-ready-for-a2sd
After this is finished, wipe all userdata (full wipe) and flash leedroid rom again.
No warranty for any damage!
Only install the alignment ext3 if you HAVE problems, it's painfully mis-documented in the official thread. Same thing happened to me. Do the following:
Format SD card, create correct partitions using gparted or Partition Manager.
Reboot into recovery by pushing Vol Down + Power, Recovery.
Wipe Cache, Data, D-cache.
Flash rom, reboot.
Don't flash the alignment patch.
Should be fine
ya..exactly..repartition the card.then just flash the rom..dont flash ext3 alignment..same prob happenend with me too..don worry!!

Hi!
Recently installed the RunnyMede AIO ROM
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1315961
Problem is I get a lot of force closes, market, htc hub, htc likes, and so on.
Tried fix permission, still force close.
Thank you!
Make a full wipe before installing rom? Boot to recovery and wipe cache + dalvik-cache. Solves most FC-problems.
yes, factory reset/wipe, cache wipe, and dalvik cache wipe before install.
When wiping cache and dalvik cache, it's fine for a while. Then suddenly there is all sorts of force close.
Any idea?
I was having heaps of force closes too, check out my thread here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1362911
so far using a2sd+ instead of XD2SDX seems to have fixed it
Okey, I will try a2sd+.
But when using a2sd+ instead of XD2SDX, i get only very little internal memory, compared to XD2SDx. Only about 12 mb.
How do I solve this?
I used XD2SDX and have had no issues at all.. I am using the ROM as my daily ROM.. that's how stable it has been!
I did the usual stuff factory reset/wipe, cache wipe, and dalvik cache wipe before install.
Very strange.
kkh786 - i notice you are using cm7r2 hboot, thats probably why you are fine.
here is a link to where i read about xd2sdx working better with cm7r2
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=19703711&postcount=6710
going to reflash my hboot and try again, as app2sd+ isnt working very well for me either, eating up the space too quick!
Fair enough. I didn't think the HBOOT would make such an impact.

Seems to be working great so far, installed a few apps, still saying 1.5gb free. Will report back if I have any problems with it.

That's not a FULL wipe, because you did not wipe /system. With factory reset only /data gets wiped. I recommend to wipe everything and flash again.
Tried reflashing with alpharev, but when I get to the third step, the livecd says "waiting for flashing to complete..."
And the phone says "Normal NAND detected. Non-PTV4".
And it just freezes there.
Help Help
Do you think I can cancel the flash, without bricking the phone?

how do I wipe/system?
In recovery, should be in the menu where you wipe /data, cache, etc.

There it is.
everything is still working fantastic for me since flashing cm7r2 hboot.
I flashed mine by just putting the zip file on my sdcard and renaming it to PB99IMG.zip as I had already s-off'd my hboot previously.
when i was trying out the stock hboot roms I always did a full format of
/boot
/cache
/data
/system
/sd-ext
and dalvik cache
I also flashed cm7 r2 hboot, and now all is working fine, excellent!
Hi I had a quick question.
When I flash between cm9 nightlies using cwm touch recovery I'm always in the habit of wiping cache partition and also dalvik cache. However I've noticed that with dalvik cache it always says SD ext partition not found but immediately after it'll say the wipe was completed. I understand the galaxy nexus is all internal memory but cwm actually wiping dalvik cache even with this error?
Thanks in advance for your answers.

Yes, it's still wiping fine. It's just not wiping a certain partition that we don't have and have no need for. You can be sure Dalvik is being wiped because when you reboot it gives you the "android is upgrading" screen. That's the dalvik cache being rebuilt.
As the GNexus "only" has a row of system memory chips, there is no sd-ext. to be harvested, and filed down.
If, however, the GNexus would have an internal SD, it would have have an sd-ext.
But, as I said, as it is the ROM AND the userdata carrier, and is always mounted, and therefor does not need an ext
Hope I could help!
I want to install a 4.3 ROM over my 4.2.2 ROM, in the instructions it wants me to do the following:
1. Wipe Data/Factory Reset + Wipe Cache partition. (I have done this before).
2. Mount System + Storage
Format System
Format Data
Format Cache.
(Haven't done this before)
3. Wipe Dalvik Cache (I have done this before)
So my question is what does step 2 do. I am scared it will wipe all my data like pictures audio files etc. that I want to keep.

its alright to format /system, /data & /cache as long as you don't format the /sdcard, i always format /system /data even when i'm just updating the rom .. ^^
Just use factory reset in your custom recovery. It handles data and cache. You don't need to manually wipe system and you don't have to touch dalvik
