i had facebook problems with 2.1. when i flashed 2.2, i wiped everything. system x3, boot x3, dalvik x3, factory reset x3 in clockwork mod recovery. if you flashed 2.2 without wiping all that, id reccomend that (x3 is times 3) and a fresh install. 2.1 kept telling me to sign in to facebook. may be unrelated. just my experience.
After a little research found out it was an app. There is an app called airpush detector in market that told me what app was sending Airpushes so I just deleted the app and messages stopped

I had not seen the x3 recommendation for reformatting system, boot, and dalvik. I would think reformatting a filesystem more than once should have no additional effect.
in all honesty, im pretty sure that one doesnt do anything additional, but i accustomed myself to it before i understood. at this point, i figure it cant hurt.

It won't hurt but it's silly redundancy. How often do you format your PC when you do a fresh install? Once? Twice? 3 times?
When you format the access to every single file is gone. It can be recovered but that is why secure wipes are done and these are not secure wipes. But from a filesystem perspective, you format once it's no longer there. There won't be remnants sticking around as some have suggested. And on android doing the main wipe data/factory reset handles formatting data/cache/dalvik/datadata.

Thanks for the clarification Tiny!
the next time i update my rom, i will wipe it all just once. should make it a bit faster of a process. thanks for the input tiny.
Yeah... I never understood the whole wipe x 3 thing... Seemed like redundancy to me too. I always do a wipe and reset, wipe dalvik, then format system under mounts and storage in CWM and I have never had an issue flashing a new ROM

I just installed a new kernel and afterwards read about clearing the dalvik cache before installing kernels. Since I never did this should I clear it now, or do I have to clear it and then install the kernel?
clear then install
Is this the same thing as "cleaning" the dalvik cache using Titanium or do you actually have to delete the entire cache folder?

To be on the safe side i do it both in Titanium and then when i am in Clockworkmod, I do it in the advanced section too - by the way if you do not have partition done on your sd card u will see an E: error message. You can ignore that.

Thanks alot .... I did it the way you suggested and am rebooting now. I appreciate the help.
For kernels, you want to delete the cache partition, kernel stuff usually isn't help in the dalvik cache. On Amon_Ra style, it's wipe cache. On CWM I think it's wipe cache partition (Don't know, have not used CWM in a while).

Cleaning in Ti only deletes unneeded files. Do this after you uninstall an app or two. Wiping in Recovery clears it out completely, so you'll have a longer next boot time while it's rebuilt. You only need to wipe it when changing to and from one of King's with HAVS.

So I don't need to wipe when updating Chads incredikernel?
You should always wipe caches when swapping kernels, even it its switching kernels from the same dev. It takes like no time to do so why not? I've forgotten to and usually it makes no difference. Sometimes its just forced closed's until I can restart and do it right.

Question 2
What makes different devices require different kernels?
If I get mt6592 source code from another device can I make it to work with mine
Please help
Whay exactly does a full wipe consist of? Using RA 2.3 recovery.
I usually wipe system, cache, and dalvik that way I keep all my dl app but some wipe data also. U can wipe boot as well.

A full wipe, in preparation to flash a new rom would consist of wiping:
data/factory reset
cache
dalvik cache
boot
system
I always wipe everything 2 or 3 times. I also flash Calkulin's Format All after wiping all of the above. That might be overkill, but it makes me feel better before I flash a rom, lol. You get a completely clean start.

What would happen if i wiped everything and rebooted? not that i wanna try it or anything just curious
My definition of a full wipe using amon RA is EVERYTHING in the wipe menu except the SD card and when I flash a different rom, I wipe everything on that list with the exception of the card itself. Technically speaking, however, the list that k2buckley posted is correct.

If you tried to boot after wiping what I mentioned, you will either hang at the splash screen or it will boot you right to fastboot (not sure really though, as I've never tried, but it wouldn't boot, for sure). Since it wipes system and boot image, there would be nothing installed for you to boot into. Btw, I would avoid trying that lol.

That's crazy. Wiping everything like that is over kill. No need to wipe data as its all the apps that uve downloaded from the market. The only ones really needed are dalvik, cache, boot, and system. And I've only ever had to do it one time then flash a rom and it works everytime plus I have all my data and apps there still

He asked what a FULL wipe was. Not if it was necessary or required. And not wiping data when going from one rom to a different one (not an update of the same rom, but to a totally different rom) has ALWAYS left me with weird issues, such as wake locks, cm Widgets on salvage mod, reboots etc.
Oh well, we all have our own methods and rituals for flashing, lol. I will stick to my methods, and everyone else can use theirs.

I'm guessing u know this but have u ever looked at ur data folder with root exployer or what ever. The app folder might have 5-6 apps in it and the app-private folder holds the apps u dl from market. So wiping it in recovery makes little sense. I've flashed plenty of different roms without wiping data and never had a problem. Plus on an upnote all ihave to do is flash the roms and gapps if needed and restart and that's it. No need to sit there for an hour restoring apps or settings

Not sure if it's just me or the phone. I'm currently running RCMix3d Runny v4.0, which I love, it's great. But I wanted to try AOSP to get a more natural feel. I installed CM7, had problems connecting to network and tons of FC's. Went back to RCMix3d, for a few days, then decided to try MIUI. Looks smooth, nice features. Tried to change some settings (turn on BT, turn on unknown sources install), phone did a Hot boot, once it came up I get constant android.process.acore FCs.
Both times installing AOSP roms I did a format data/cache/dalvik, not just installing over RCMix3d. Even tried doing format x2 on all first.
Anyone else having similar problems, or could it just be something I'm doing wrong?
Thanks

Sorry, what do you mean format system? I'm doing from CWM, wipe data/factory reset, wipe cache partition, wipe Dalvik Cache.
Unless you meet from the boot menu, doing a factory reset (which i'll need to reroot)

No, don't do that. In CWM, go to mounts and storage. You'll see format system, run that. Then wipe data/factory reset in the main CWM screen. Then install your AOSP ROM.

Well, I'm just an idiot. So I did the system format, still had same issues with MIUI.
Noticed that the issues start right after I restore from Titanium backup. Then realized I was hitting Restore System + Apps. Which going from Sense to AOSP, doesn't work so well.
Just reinstalled and only restored Apps. Working fine now.
Thanks for the help!
Sometimes the easiest things are the ones most overlooked!!! (been there done that.....way toooo many times..lol)

Hey everyone,
I recently flashed jedi invasion 5 rom to my tmobile galaxy s3. For some reason I can't seem to open my gallery, it tells me I don't have enough space, however, I have plenty of space in both my internal memory and my 32gb sd card. Any help would be great, thanks
What were the steps you took in flashing the rom, we need a little more info to help you out.
Go into manage applications setting and clear app data for anything that has to do with media storage & gallery in the system apps list, then reboot. That may or may not help.

Sorry about that. So prior to Jedi invasion rom i was rooted with some stock rom. I basically went into clockwork recovery mode, i wiped user data, wiped cache, wiped dalvik, and then i flashed the jedi invasion rom. I have actually redid this process over a few times already, still however the gallery fails to load telling me that there isn't enough space. I have tried formatting my sd card, cleaning out my internal storage, clearing my gallery cache... all of those didn't help fix the issue either. Although, when i downloaded a different gallery from play store, that worked just fine.

It is strange... By wiping system do you mean wipe data/factory reset in recovery mode? Or is there another way you're referring to that does a more, for lack of better words, cleaner wipe?
I can't remember where it is under on CWM I'm a TWRP kinda guy. I think Mounts and Storage, and yes is't where all the system files are (the ones that aren't delete-able without Root Access). Like gallery and such. My guess some bad left overs from the other rom/gallery/camera aren't compatible with the rom/gallery/camera you have now.

You were right, I resolved the issue by fully wiping everything, data, cache, system, and even the internal sd. Thanks again for your help!

I'm looking a automated way to wipe dalvik cache....any ideas
Umm why? The dalvik cache usually does not need to be wiped unless you are removing apps via file browser or terminal. As far as all your other caches (system, apps, etc) there are apps out that will do cleaning automatically.
Sent from my daughter's CLONED Og Evo using xda-developers app
Hmmm, I don't know any automatic way but there are two manual ways that are easy. First is through recovery mode. I use Amon Ra Recovery to do so. Usually the recovery has a section called Wipe. Be careful what you press in here. Second, is through an app called Titanium Backup. Only the pro version can do dalvik cache clean though. I bought it but I think you should stick with the recovery way.
Sent from my PC36100
Titanium Backup is a thought but it only gets rid of unneeded entries and doesn't do a true wipe like going into recovery. I was looking for something I could set up to run automatically once or twice a week. For me, my JB roms just run better if I can keep it wiped and was hoping to set something up to run during the night maybe twice a week.
Sorry than, I don't know any other way...
