What is a true Full wipe

When people say full wipe before changing roms what exactly are the steps. Can we compile a how to here for new folks

In CWR there are 2 wipe options. One of them is effectively a factory reset and the other is a cache wipe. Performing both is a full wipe.

I also wipe dalvik.

^agreed. Wipe dalvik cache under advanced in CWM. This wipes the cache of your dalvik virtual machine.

I wipe my own... ;-)

There is a "wipe all function in the newest 4.0.1.4 recovery made it's the best recovery, I'd give it a shot.

There are two cache wipe options under advanced. They are separated if you want to wipe only one of them. Wiping the entire cache (formatting that volume) should hit the dalvik cache as well.

wipe all zip?

I was wondering if anyone knows of a wipe all flashable zip?

To, like, wipe everything?
If so, what's wrong with the options in recovery?

On my last phone I had a wipe cache and dalvik cache one and a wipe all which is factory data reset, cache, and dalvik cache. It just makes it quicker to flash a rom.

factory reset will wipe /cache and /data
a rom install will wipe dalvik and /system
you dont need a script to run to do all that for you
run factory reset in CWM/TWRP and install rom

What happened to doing a factory reset and then wipe cache and then wipe dalvik cache and then flash rom?

cache wipe is included in the factory reset....watch when you do it, it says
FORMATTING CACHE
just looking at a few of the updater-scripts in some of the roms available right now (it appears some people put it in their script and some dont....love the consistency):
Code:
delete_recursive("/data/dalvik-cache");
delete_recursive("/data/resource-cache");
which is odd considering all the devices I have ever worked on include the dalvik wipe (i have always included a cache wipe as well by default)...it makes for a quicker flash when the user doesnt have to go through 100 steps to install a rom....

using CWM for a CLEAN flash

Hey guys, I'm a little confused on how to use CWM to do a CLEAN install. Say if im using cleanROM and i want to jump into JediX or what ever, do I need to go into Recovery, Wipe data/factory reset, wipe cache and delvik AND format cache, system, preload, sdcard???
Or all have to do is just wipe data/factory reset and wipe delvik and cache?

My method for a ROM switch like that is wipe cache wipe dalvik then factory reset then wipe cache wipe dalvik.Install ROM wipe cache wipe dalvik then fix permissions.Boot phone up don't touch screen or anything let sit for 10-20 minuntes.Then reboot tweak and enjoy.That method has never done me wrong since 2009 .:thumbup:
