CM7: When I flash each nightly will my apps be in place?

I flashed the CM7 RC2 the other night and just got all my widgets/apps in the place I want them.
Question: If I flash the nightly's through RomManager, will my widgets/apps still be in place or will I have to set everything up again?
Don't wipe anything besides cache and they will stay. Occasionally I will have to redo my widgets.

CACHE AND DALVIK CACHE dalvik cache is actually more important than normal cache sometimes. wipe both then flash nightly.
thanks guys

Return after MIUI

I just sifted through the forum and couldnt find anything so is there a special thing you have to do if you want to return to Sense after CM 7 and MIUI? Or can you just flash a Sense rom?
I remember on the Fascinate we had to ODIN a stock ROM after because of MTD BLM.
No you can just flash. Well you should clear data/cache.
I normally wipe data factory
wipe cache
format system
clear davlik
clear battery
then flash.
Might be to much but thats normally what I do and Ive never had any problems.

I would definitely wipe all those, especially from an AOSP Rom to a Sense Rom
FWIW, I do the same, except I don't bother to wipe battery stats.

Make sure you return to a stock kernel as well (if you changed it). From what I have heard, sense and AOSP kernels are not compatible with each other.

For kernels just wipe cache and delvik cache. Modems I wipe cache and delvik cache, don't know if you really need to tho. But for Roms yes wipe data, cache and delvik cache.

yes it does. agat's tRec under advanced there should be wipe delvik cache, wipe battery stats .... forget after that but if you have agats recovery its there. did you flash agats kernel or do you still need to flash it?
thanks

yes i flashed the kernal no problem with that but i didnt wipe all that stuff out is it still ok
is it safe to wipe out data //reset phone option with the brick issue
so just to understand before add kernals or modem just
wipe cache //// wipe delvik cache and thats its not the battery stuff u said
so just when u add rom is when u wipe everything else
should i redo adding kernal and rom didnt wipe delvik but the kernal reg in the about phone

no you wont have an issue brick my doing a full wipe. Its safe now. For flashing kernels and modems yes just a cache and delvik cache wipe is all that is needed. when you flash a modem tho, go to update profile and update PRL. do both and you will be fine. when you flash a new rom use format all zip. its at the very bottom, repete very bottom of the first post. it wipes everything for you. there are two of them tho. one full wipe, second is a modified wipe. use the full wipe for flashing roms. once you have the format all just keep it on the root of your SD card. so you'll always have it.

CM7 unstability fix..

No I don't have a fix...
So Im using cm7.2 kang and after 3 months of uses its not very stable anymore. As in it will be randomlly laggy and wont do what I tell it to.
Anyway I love CM7.2 so is there a way to make this stable again without a standard wipe and reflash.
Will wiping cache in CWR work? Will formatting system in CWR work?
Sent from my Incredible 2 using xda premium
Formatting the system will wipe the ROM, I would say clear the cache and see if that works.
Sent from my Incredible 2 using xda premium
I would try wiping just the Cache (and Dalvik Cache) from Clockwork. Like EVorhees said, don't wipe the system as you will have to re-flash the Rom.

[Q] "Upgrade android: launching applications" error message

Hi,
after wiping cache and Dalvik cache, *every time I reboot my phone* I keep getting the "Upgrade android: launching applications" error message...
How can I fix this?
Tx a lot.
If you do a normal reboot (ie/ without wiping dalvik and cache) do you still get this?.....I'm guessing probably not.
When you wipe dalvik and cache, you are clearing ALL the data for your installed apps.....the "upgrading android" message you are seeing is an indication that the apps are being re-updated and is a perfectly normal occurrence under these circumstances......not an error......
Please hit thanks if this helped

Unfortunately, as I wrote above, this happens EVERY TIME I reboot my phone, meaning normal reboot (not going into recovery mode and deleting anything, I just did that once!)....
Then some of your apps are not compatible with your rom or you just flashed a wrong .zip or something. I believe just wiping data and reflashing will fix this.

I did not install anything - neither new apps, nor .zip - after wiping cache+dalvik.
I tried wiping cache+dalvik another time, then rebooting normally, but I still get this message every (normal) reboot...
I meant wiping data (losing all your apps and installing them again later.

I think I'd have to agree.....it sounds like you have a problem with one of the apps and/or the ROM you have on your phone......depending on how deep the issue goes, you have two options.....
Option 1.......download "appbak" from the play store, use it to make a list of your installed apps then delete them. When you've done that, wipe cache and dalvik again (lol) and use appbak to do a fresh reinstall of all your apps........
If that doesn't work.......
Option 2.......
Wipe EVERYTHING, including your ROM, SD card, internal storage, cache and dalvik, and do a COMPLETELY "pristine" install.....if that doesn't sort it out, nothing will, and a trip to the service center is probably the only option.......

Well, thanks, but... I prefer keep it in this way rather than flashing again.
I'll wait for next CM9 version at least.
Is there any other method how to solve this?

Wow, cool, I didn't notice it...
that's a good point!
Btw... is there any con with my problem?
I mean, it's annoying, but actually what's the problem (apart waiting 1min more and wasting 0,05% battery maybe) if every reboot it tries the upgrade?

Lol....likewise....the only reason I knew, was that someone made reference to CM 10 in another post.....
And from what I've read, even though it's at initial release.....it's pretty much where CM 9 was when it was at Alpha 7......so defo looking promising.......

Yep, seems pretty interesting, the only thing that leaves me puzzled is that he's using kernel 2.6.35, not 3.x... does this mean he will have to do an entire different CM10 version later on, or will we be able to upgrade from CM10kernel2.6 to CM10kernel3.x?
Moreover, re my problem... If I want to install CM10 and get rid of this problem, I guess I'd do a full wipe... is this procedure correct?
cwm-> wipe data/factory reset
Cwm-> wipe cache
cwm->mount and storage -> format system. Format data. Format cache.
Install cm10alpha1.
Install gapps.
Thanks.
According to Arco, the reason he's sticking with v2.6 is because the camera works with it....on 3.0, it doesn't......yet....
He has said that he might try to integrate 3.0 into the build at a later date....when it's more stable.
In terms of wiping prior to installing '10....
All I've ever done before flashing a new ROM is wipe cache, dalvik and factory wipe/reset. If you want advice about anything more thorough, the best person to comment would be Pepoluan......he can guide you step by step to achieve the "pristine" result you want.....but yes, at the very least, you need to deal with cache, dalvik and factory reset......
In terms of flashing CM 10, follow my guide...

I got this error in two occasion after clean instal new ROM.
What I do is go to CWM, wipe everything, re-flash ROM + Gapps, wipe everything (again), restore app with titanium backup. And everything is smooth...

I heard someone mentioning my name
To get a "Pristine" CM9, the steps are very simple, actually. BUT, you *need* a computer (laptop or desktop, doesn't matter).
1. Create a nandroid backup, just in case
2. Copy all important non-synced files from the internal storage & internal SD into the external SD
3. Backup your external SD into the computer
4. Format your SD. If you plan on using Link2SD, this would be a good time to also repartition it.
5. Copy the CM9 and GApps updatezips to the SD card.
6. Boot into CWM5/6 recovery, and wipe: cache, data, system, internal SD, battery stats.
7. Install the two updatezips (CM9 followed by GApps).
8. Reboot. Follow the initialization procedure.
9. If you want SD-Swapping, as soon as you arrived in the Trebuchet launcher, open Settings and configure SD-swapping.
10. DO NOT EVER restore any backups you made in GB, except messages and call logs. ALWAYS install apps fresh from the Play Store.
With a Pristine install, I *never* had any problems. And my phone's responsive enough I honestly no longer feel even the slightest desire to install any tweaks/mods/'engines'.
