Is DARKSIDE.CACHE.WIPE still necessary for Clockworkmod recovery 6.0.x?

I've noticed that my CWM Recovery was version 5.0.x so I updated accordingly to the newest one per http://www.clockworkmod.com/rommanager
Before, I flashed new ROMs, I would run DARKSIDE.CACHE.WIPE because there was some sort of issue with CWM recovery 5.0.x. Is this still the case with the newest CWM recovery?
Regards

For some reason both the new 6.x.x.x touch recovery and regular recovery don't work right? Sometimes I have to restart in recovery like 3 times before one of the options actually works or doesn't hang...Anyone else get this issue? I did flash them via ROM Manager.

Yes. Its cause cwm don't have some scripts than you need for clean up your phone when you flash some rom.

I recomed you try twrp. Its awesome recovery and no need to flash DARKSIDE.CACHE.WIPE cause I think the tw include this scripts to they recovery project, also its too easy to install from goo manager

I would still keep in just in case. Never know when something is going to break.

I never had that prob with cwm6 or sk8ters recovery u may need to redownload the zip again dont use rom manager its not reliable

Check me thread on the proper way to flash. TDJs scripts break CWM 6.0.x.x.

I change to TWRP because CWM 6.X was giving me some sort of problems flashing specially when flashing JB roms that needs to clear cache and the thing that i need to flash darkside stuff before and after, for my is better TWRP.

Not true. They both function exactly the same. Problem is TW roms prefer TWRP and CWM 5.0.2.7 on this phone. Stop spreading bad word about CWM when the true issue is user error. Just because you had issues with it doesn't mean trwp is better. Clockwork mod has been around since android development started. Show respect where respect is due, son.

[Q] First attempt at custom ROM --> [ROM][JB] All Star Rom v6

Happy New Year
First attempt at custom ROM, heard great things about All Star Rom - going straight for the v6! Unless told not to ... LOL
Have a rooted device,with latest TWRP recovery 2.3.3.1-hercules .tar flashed.
Have v6 and All-Star 4.2 custom gapps downloaded.
Copy of instructions for reference sake:
TWRP recovery recommended!
- wipe data
- wipe system
-(Use Darkside Super wipe if still on cwm 5.0.2.7 or below)
- flash rom
- flash All-Star 4.2 gapps
- wipe cache/ dalvik cache.
- reboot and wait 10 mins
- reboot and wait 1 minute
- Grant Superuser permissions for Switchme
- set up device.
- Initiate the CPU sleeper app
- (Highly Recommended) ENJOY!
Booting into TWRP recovery,
I don't specifically have a "wipe data" option, I want to be very thorough here.
Under "Wipe" I have Cache, Dalvik Cache, Factory Reset, ... and System.
Quick answer? Thanks.

Hey, happy new years justaguy705. Nice to see you asking questions again.
To answer your question, the option where you see "Factory Reset" is the exact same as "Wipe data". Cheers!

Unless you have a recovery system already. You will need a computer to install a recovery system such as TWRP 2.3.3.0 to your phone through Odin (PC application).

Yes it is. I rarely use or never use computer now.

Doesn't being rooted means he rooted himself via a recovery, unless he flashed stock rom again. In which it would wipe his recovery.

He may have a custom recovery file, but from what I know to install the latest and recommended TWRP recovery you would need to have a computer to flash it. But you are free to explain to him with your steps to flashing without a computer.

Make sure your phone is off and not connected to a USB cable. Press and hold the "volume up/volume down" keys and then press the power button until you feel a vibrate and the screen turns on. After that you should be in recovery mode and it will say the version you are using. If you have a CWM recovery version greater than 6.0 you should be able to flash a ROM through your phone.

You could use Mobile Odin to flash TWRP or CWM but Mobile Odin doesn't have all the features that regular Odin does.

To flash TWRP on to your phone and you still do not have access to a computer, you can try using the Mobile Odin app on the Play store as android88 had mentioned above (however, the app is around $5.00 if you're willing to purchase it). Otherwise, flashing the recovery system through Odin using a computer is the way to do it.

I'm running the nos and acid on pac with asdk. i tried flashing the crossbreader on top, it was a no go....
update:
was able to install the crossbreeder...reinstall the kernel, then the crossbreeder then nos. works fine now

I'm looking to flash the Nos and Walkman but both OP states to flash with CWM. Anyone tried with TWRP or am I better off just installing CWM and using that instead?

nos doesnt work well with twrp, it reboots the recovery. not sure about walkman. only takes a min to switch from twrp to cwm...and back...just make sure you do a nandroid with cwm before you flash.

Yea, in the zip file the IMG of cwm and twrp are old but I downloaded newest then put both on internal SD. Works gr8t. Make sure that they are separate and if you have to rename the img file
Cwm: name to touch.img ( if its the touch img, idk what to name non touch, I don't use)
Twrp: name as twrp.img
After that should work, that's how I put the latest twrp on my phone.
Edit: I need to learn to check things b4 I speak lol!! I used it to install twrp 2.4.2.0 Sorry about that didn't mean to intentionally mislead anyone. Should still work. Just make sure that when u download either img file u change the name to how I outlined. Phone is almost dead I'll get the latest twrp img from computer. Well post back with results

I loved TWRP when I was on the S3, but on the S4 it appears to be too sensitive. When I try to install a zip file and scroll down the list of folder using my finger it will enter that folder i did not pick.

Great, I'll switch back when that is fixed. Right now I am using the OUDHS CWM based Recovery cause the text is readable. The text in the regular CWM is too tiny to read, I have to use a magnifying glass to read the options

Yes, there is an issue with that since the touch screen is so much more sensitive on the S4, but it will be fixed soon. Team Win is working on it.
