First, I'm not a troll (ololololol)
My question is simple : Can I change rom only by wiping data and cache ?
I mean, I'm using CM9 yet, and I'd like to go to EQDKP (for full working rom). Do I have to wipe everything, partition sdcard again and do all that kind of stuff, or wiping data and cache are enough ?
I'm using Data2SD on Speed Droid, it may change the way to change rom (as I said, I'm a noob, if it doesn't change anything, please do not pray to send me to hell hahaha)
Thank you, sorry for my newbie situation, and Peace !
If a thread has already been done about this, I'm sorry to create a new one. The XDA app research is a bit... bad

Normally you just need to wipe data system dalvik and bat stats
To give you a good clean install if you don't wipe em you could encounter white HTC frozen screen it some other bugs

Just a data wipe is enough if you are moving to a completely different rom. Most roms wipe system automatically. You wont need to wipe anything if you are just updating

I never wipe battery stats, I've flashed many ROMs and never had a problem. I usually wipe data, cache and system then flash the ROM. But if you think wiping the battery stats help then go for it

Have u factory reset cleared cache and also cleared dalvik?
Sent from my Desire HD using XDA App
Alright..
Firstly, reboot into recovery and wipe full data & the dalvik cache.
Second, flash a rom to which your device fulfills all requirements (eg. not D2EXT, D++)
Third, restart your device after installing the ROM.
Fourth, WAIT!!!!! if it doesnt boot after like 15 minutes then something has gone wrong somewhere.
Just to make things easy to start with, you should try using a rom that doesn't require an ext2/3/4 partition and just uses fat. Unless you are confident you can do that correctly.

how to clear dalvik?
thanks all ,after wipe partition and wipe data factory , worked with me.

Seriously, you should do a little reading tutirials and guides on flashing.
You cannot flash a ROM with a different base on top of another - that's why the bootloops. (E.g. Flashing DHDport on top of Stock Rooted or GB on FROYO won't work without wiping).
Secondly, it is wiped it - ergo FORMATTED it, the ext partition is still there.

I understand that i have to see which radio can work with?

Listen, everybody's here to help each other. It's what we android users do.
A little of "Please", and "thank you very much", "you guys are great"... goes a long way...
As for the radio, the easiest would have been, to upgrade your stock system to Froyo 2.29 before running the ROM.
Stock, before a custom ROM. This would probably avoid any radio problems.
If your phone is working and you have no issues, then you shouldn't worry about it.
Some people, get a little angry, when the same problem happens over and over again, and there are posts to cover these problems.
But, I think most of us, will jump right in, and give a hand to those who ask politely. And give a big thanks, when the issue is fixed.
Oh, and all ROMs are not created to work with Desire...
Hello people!
Have searched the forums and also tried googling but have not found a certain, conclusive answer to my question.
The question is when do we have to wipe the cache and dalvik cache?
I know what to wipe when flashing a new ROM but what about radios, RILs and kernels? What do we have to wipe when flashing the above so as for the phone to run optimally? Before or after flashing them?
Thanks in advance
Developers of the rom will tell if a full wipe is needed , if your updating. If your coming from another rom, you need to perform a full wipe.
No wipe required when flashing radio, Ril and kernel.
If you are going to perform a wipe you do it before you flash anything.

You mean you don't even have to wipe battery stats when flashing a new Radio?
I thought otherwise but I am not certain...
Anyway, thanks for answering
As far as I know you don't need to, the only time bat sat are recommended to be wiped is when flashing a rom and you have battery issues. But others say wiping battery sat doesn't really help with battery..

Ok thanks for the info!
Iam running myn's warm rls5. I want to change my fonts and iam not sure if i need to wipe cache, data and dalvik before i flash this new font. It says to "flash these just like how you flash roms" but it dont say anything about wiping.
just the dalvik and cache, piece of cake.
just a heads up, but some of them will cause bootloops and i haven't figured out how to tell yet. For instance, "fontin" worked on every sense 2.2 but bootloops aosp 2.3. make a backup
So why only the cach and dalvik and not the data. Can anybody tell me what each thing does and why you need to wipe. Thanks!

no you do not have to wipe anything. Just flash and enjoy
Iam confused now. Someone is saying to wipe and the other is saying not too. Is there a forum that explains it.

Theoretically you don't have to wipe anything when flashing a font because all it does is change a few files in the font folder. However, I always wipe cache and dalvik when flashing any mod just to be on the safe side.

And always backup before flashing as said before. If everything is fine after flashing then you can just delete that nandroid if you want to free up memory on your sd. But like stated, it doesn't matter what you are flashing, things may not always go right.

And never wipe data unless you're flashing a rom. Wiping data will wipe all of your apps & such. When flashing themes, kernels, mods, fonts, apps, etc only wipe cache & dalvik cache.
Ok...i understand now. Iam guna backup then wipe cache and delvik before i flash. Thanks to everyone who replied back.

You do not need to wipe anything for fonts, i never have. I flashed font only from this thread below. Flash till you find the one you like...

Did you even care to read the thread a little bit, i read the last 2 pages and it says you don't have to full wipe. Install the Rom over the old with only a cache and dalvik cache wipe !
Spoonfeeding all the way :banghead:
I have rooted my phone via a thread in XDA correctly. Flashed my ROM a few times. I can usually wipe most of the things, dalvik, cache, system whatever that is required before flashing a ROM. But I always have problem wiping my battery stats. It's like when you wipe your cache, the next thing that happens is "Wiping cache.... Wiping cache completed!" (something like that) but when I try to wipe my battery stats. Nothing happens.
Any ideas?
(BTW my battery life is crappy, 2 hours usage time only. Mobile data on + Facebook + WhatsApp.)
