Basically it does the following:
1) Call erase_image on CACHE, SYSTEM, USERDATA, and BOOT partitions
2) Mount /sd-ext (if it exists) and delete all files from it
3) Delete all files in the /sdcard/.android_secure directory which is where all the froyo apps2sd files live
4) Run e2fsck (file system repair) on the your ext partition
5) Log all output to the /tmp/wipe.log file (if you care)
You will need to power off and reboot back into recovery after running this to install a new rom....as you won't have one on device
If you forget and try to boot normally you will get stuck at splash screen, then you will have to pull battery to power off.

It should be fine, I've been using it on my Desire Z without issue.

It does the same thing "Factory Reset" does in Blah's unofficial CWM Recovery 3.1.0.1: DELETE F***ING EVERYTHING

Lol! Hey you should maybe backup your sdcard to your computer so you don't have to freakout everytime you flash a rom.

Virtuous affinity v1.48 internal memory

I just flash virtuous affinity,my free internal memory is just only left 698mb not 1.05gb...is it mean to be like this or defect? Can someone tell me what is the maximum clockspeed for kernel v10 without freeze issue??
Sent from my HTC Vision using XDA App

...don't know about the internal memory - i'm running virtuous affinity with some apps installed and i have about 800 mb free.
Cpu frequencies: every device is different, so you have to find out, at what stage your phone starts freezing... Do this by temp oc. My phone freezes if i go higher then 1,2 ghz (unity v10) - with a different kernel (i used rcmix kernel) i can go much higher without freezing...
But my experience is that if you oc to much the phone gets laggy

which oc app u using?i was using setcpu on affinity..and it lag so badly,so now im using oc/uv,which oc app u recommand to use with affinity? and wat does the uv tab do??

...my current settings for virtuous affinity are:
1. i do not oc (i did before and used oc/uv beater - uv = under voltage that means less battery usage)
2. i changed my system partition to ext4 for speed improvement
3. to make the rom less laggy i enabled swap
4. to be able to do mulitasking i´m using the supercharger script (option multitasking)

how u change system partition?i wanna make it snappier as well =/

i´m using 4ext recovery v 2.2.7 RC5:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1271775
just download the updater apk and then install the recovery through it...
after install boot into recovery and there is an option to change system & data & cache to ext4
you can do this without installing the rom again

u mean if i change system & data & cache to ext4,i will lose all my data on my phone? And one more thing,since im in affinity i have swap,if i switch to other rom,will i lost my swap partition?do i need to resetup again?

no you will not loose your data... 4ext recovery has the option to change the filesystem without loosing data (it does make a backup of your system & data)
if you switch to another rom you will not loose your swap partition, but you have to reactivate it again using the script... (chmod & sh again) & the kernel needs to support swap

Thx !! seriously ur my life saver XD

no it doesn´t affect your sdcard at all... only if you boot into recovery and choose the oprtion to format your sdcard, you will loose you sdcard content

what do you mean? system, data & cache is not part of the sdcard... its located on your internal storage and if you convert with backup the 4ext recovery does everything by itself
ah yeah one thing: don´t use the normal superwipe anymore, because it changes your system files to ext3 again. look for superwipe+ext4, this one leaves your filesystem ext4

[Q] Bootloop with Alex-V 1.8 (387mb hboot)

I have problems with the Alex-V 1.8 Hybrid-Sense Rom:
I prefer the 387mb hboot-version, but where I can get the hboot-image?
Which partitions should I take for the data2ext? Im the original post is fat+ext4+ext4+swap, but when I'm installing the rom, it shows me that I need fat+ext4+ext3

Thank you, but how i must partitionize my sd-card?
Sent from my HTC Desire using XDA App

for partitioning use Gparted. alternatively use 4ext recovery.

I'm using gparted , i mean do i need fat+ext4+ext4+swap or fat+ext4+ext3 or somthing other
Sent from my HTC Desire using XDA App

You need FAT32 (rest) + EXT4 (size 1 - 2 GB; I recommend 1,5 GB). Did not look it up, but this partition worked for every ROM I used since now (even a DATA2EXT one).

I always use 4ext recovery. gives the option of ext 3/4 and 1st, 2nd and swap partitions

Thanks for your answers!!! The problem was, that /system was too small, so i deleted a few ringtones, now it is working !!!!!

Ext of SD card

Do you have to ext your SD card in order to put apps on to it? I don't really want to partition my SD card tho!!
Sent from my HTC Desire using xda app-developers app

most custom roms require an ext partition to work, read the first post requirements for each rom, I'm assuming you're already rooted?
i don't know why you don't want to partition your sd card though...it's not very difficult. use gparted or 4ext recovery only (NOT minitool partition wizard, rom manager or clockworkmod recovery). search for guides.
you may need to flash a different script to move apps to sd-ext, but again this depends on the rom as many have it built in.

No I would if I had a bigger SD card coz I only have a 2gb one and my parents refuse to buy me a 32gb one so yea......

oh didn't realise the situation. how about 4, 8 or 16gb as compromise? i'm holding off a 32gb myself until they become much cheaper.
or try dgb rom as i think it's designed on purpose without an ext partition. you would need to be s-off with custom hboot to make the most of it.

Yes maybe and I am already running a ROM which is alright for the moment but I really want runny ROM but obviously that needs an ext. I am running hiapk sensefun ROM by djroobs which I am happy with at the moment. I will probably wait until they become cheaper as well
Sent from my HTC Desire using xda app-developers app

Yh ul need a bigger sdcard for runny rom, it needs 1gb ext 4 partition on ur sdcard and the rom itself from what i remember is 500mb (its huge)
Like eddie says, Even if u try get ur parents to buy ya a 4gb sdcard, they cheap enough and 4gb is plenty if u ask me
Sent from my HTC Desire

Thanks guys I will give it a crack or just try and buy it myself. Thing is tho atleast 500 mb of my SD is music and that's not all of the music I want LOL

Yep, I ran Oxygen for a long time with a small 2 gb card and it worked just fine. To be fair 4, 8 are now dead cheap and it will allow you to run the heavier roms that need 1gb ext.

Because they don't make working partitions. Compatibility issues, i think.

More RAM on Desire

Is any chance to add more memory on desire?
I mean in hardware way? Add one chip on board or replacing current module with larger?

No u can't do that.
The closest u could get to having more ram is to make a swap partition on your SD, and use a ROM that supports it.
Sent from my HTC Desire using xda app-developers app

How to enable swap?
I using S2E and when type in terminal free, says swap 0?

U have to partition your SD Card first so u have 1 partition made for swap ( usually 128MB) u can make it in 4ext.

If you are rooted and s-off you can do this to install 4ext recovery. It is much better than clockword mod.
1. Download the apk from here
2. Install it on your phone. Then open the app and choose "Online Install | Upgrade"
3. Click on the newest version, and choose install.
