Recover Question

I installed my first rom (MIUI) yesterday and everything went well thanks to alot of reading. I like the way it look but i miss Sense. I did a backup before I flashed it so what is the steps to recover the back up with clockwork??

Go back into recovery > backups> restore > choose the one you want. The names of the backups are based on the date you made the nandroid

Before I do that do I have to wipe anything?

I won't hurt........I always wipe cache and dalvik cache. Your phone will take a few minutes longer to reboot.....that's about the only drawback.

Not necessary, but it wouldn't hurt anything. Calkulin's Format_All.zip wipes Cache, Userdata, Dalvik, System, and a few others that I'm forgetting. If I remember correctly, it's just a script that tells your recovery to wipe all those things. Like I said before, I like to use it if I'm ever changing ROM "brands" (ie going from MIUI to CM7, or From Myn's to CM7, etc.) because the systems are usually significantly different

i believe wiping before doing anything regardless its restoring or flashing a new rom is the way to go with Calkulin's format all and his clear temp. just in case it misses something. but thats just my opinion =)

Yes you can and if you want to be 100% sure just wipe 3x

Don't wipe data after flashing the ROM if you're on Standard, or your phone will not be usable. Wipe cache and dalvik-cache.

Deodex Rom

Well I think I deodexed... i did the steps but i don't know if it works
my doubt comes from
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1863052
the last post on page 1 make by ganesbiyer himself, links us to the StatusBarTogglesWithBatMod-v2-HDPI.zip
that he made...
I install the zip and it and it says complete
but when i reboot, it is not there
Am i supposed to wipe the cache and dalvic like i did after the initial deodex?

I usually wipe cache and dalvik cache, and then flash and fix permissions afterwards.

Random hot boots

Well as a few days after flashing wicked rom, I keep getting random HOT boots, no boot animation, and reboots behave the same as hot boots, no animation, just black screen then its on. I reflashed rom, kernel, but did not wipe yet. I may soon, but ill wait until I get a better answer. Also I did not overclock or undervolt.

Sounds like a kernel issue. Have you tried using an alternate kernel? And always wipe cache and dalvik cache after flashing a kernel

What rom did you have before? You're saying that you didn't wipe the first time you flashed Wicked? Always wipe before reporting issues that nobody else is reporting. More than likely that is your reason.
Did you flash a different kernel? If so, did you wipe both caches before flashing?

I did wipe actually, I mean that I will wipe and reflash if needed, which I have.

Well if so I suggest testing without morphology and then with so you can compare and rule out that as an issue.

Quick Noob Question

So my wife wants me to flash a rom on her still stock phone. ! Every time I flash one on my phone I reset it to factory settings just for the whole new phone feel. But she doesn't want to lose her stuff. Will a new rom mess with any of her things.
Sent from my LG-VM696 using xda premium

If u dirty wipe she wont lose anything. But a clean wipe is recomemded. Also i found after a clean wipe that the ROM feels faster. Gud luck flashing.

What is dirty and clean wipe
Sent from my LG-VM696 using xda premium

It might not make a difference but its a HTC one x.
Sent from my LG-VM696 using xda premium

u can back up all data with titanum back up

A clean wipe is when u wipe : data, cachè, dalvic.
Dirty wipe : only cachè, and dalvic
Trust me it wil differ had tried both on my Gnex and galaxy ace both had superior performance when on clean wipe.
