Hi everyone,
Coming from the og evo. Every time I did a factory wipe for a new version of Deck's ROM (fav), I would lose all my apps, data,ect... I flashed lifeless v6 wiped system and both caches in twrp then choose the recommended factory wipe in aroma. However, after reboot, I still have all my stuff. Did I miss something? Thought I would be restoring with titanium after I flashed.
A big thanks to all the devs working hard to make this phone amazin' :highfive:
Weird. It should wipe everything. What recovery are you using?

You need to do a factory wipe as well. The wipe only does
system, cache, dalvik
the second option only does system.

TWRP 3.2 I believe. Everything seems to running great. Apollo works, no fc on anything. I noticed better WiFi reception after flashing. not sure if that was included in the tweaks or not. Still not sure what happened?! Just to be clear, a factory wipe means everything goes? I guess I'll be keeping it dirty

Alright guys so forgive me if this is a double post but I can't seem to find the answer anywhere. I've been looking into Nightly roms and I've found that I really like the concept. However, I've been flashing these Nightlies as if I've been flashing an entirely new Rom. What I mean is I've been doing full titanium backups then boot to cwm and wipe data factory reset and wipe dalvik and finally flash new nightly and reboot. I hate having to wait for titanium to reinstall all my apps and data though. I mean titanium is a neat idea but not as a nightly restorer as it just takes way too long. So I feel like I might be missing something but my general question here is can I get away without doing a full data wipe when moving to a new nightly? And will this ultimately save all of my apps and data? Thanks for any help guys

If its same rom just an update, as in nightlies, u just wipe cache + dalvic. Full wipe not necessary. All ur data will b there. I never fully wipe unless it's a new Rom.

Cool thanks man. I've never wiped a cache before at all though....what's the point?

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.

This is TRUE!

Not sure if it's just me or the phone. I'm currently running RCMix3d Runny v4.0, which I love, it's great. But I wanted to try AOSP to get a more natural feel. I installed CM7, had problems connecting to network and tons of FC's. Went back to RCMix3d, for a few days, then decided to try MIUI. Looks smooth, nice features. Tried to change some settings (turn on BT, turn on unknown sources install), phone did a Hot boot, once it came up I get constant android.process.acore FCs.
Both times installing AOSP roms I did a format data/cache/dalvik, not just installing over RCMix3d. Even tried doing format x2 on all first.
Anyone else having similar problems, or could it just be something I'm doing wrong?
Thanks

Sorry, what do you mean format system? I'm doing from CWM, wipe data/factory reset, wipe cache partition, wipe Dalvik Cache.
Unless you meet from the boot menu, doing a factory reset (which i'll need to reroot)

No, don't do that. In CWM, go to mounts and storage. You'll see format system, run that. Then wipe data/factory reset in the main CWM screen. Then install your AOSP ROM.

Well, I'm just an idiot. So I did the system format, still had same issues with MIUI.
Noticed that the issues start right after I restore from Titanium backup. Then realized I was hitting Restore System + Apps. Which going from Sense to AOSP, doesn't work so well.
Just reinstalled and only restored Apps. Working fine now.
Thanks for the help!
Sometimes the easiest things are the ones most overlooked!!! (been there done that.....way toooo many times..lol)
Glad ya got it going!
I was on here late last night and was looking thru a thread and someone said when you wipe cache and dalvik you should do so several times. I had some issues with my phone the other day. Evidently my phone doesn't like being severely undervolted. Thank God for nandroid. Also system tuner pro was giving me fits to. So I decided to reflash my rom. I had been running faux kernel with the skyrocket mods. So I wiped data/ reset twice then wiped cache and dalvik twice . Flashed rom and fixed permissions twice. My phone is now smoother then its ever been. I'm not using fauxs kernel either. So the moral of the story is next time you flash or wipe. Make sure you do so a few times. Hope everyone had a great new year! !

Yeah I use to only wipe things once, but the past few roms I've been wiping everything 3 times with no problems that I would run into after only wiping once. I've also read a few people saying that after you wipe everything multiple times and flash your rom..flash the rom again directly after...not sure what exactly that does if anything, but a few do it. If anyone knows what exactly that does flashing the rom twice in a row please let me know. Not possible to have too many good habits if your a flashaholik lol.

Is there a superwipe script like there is for the sensation and the amaze it seems to work great. I always get a clean flash and it works great gives you one thing to do before you flash a rom and a clean install.

Ive never wiped cache and dalvik when flashing roms. Maybe I should. Can I do this now after the fact or would this erase all my data?
When exactly do you wipe dalvik and cache? before and after a new rom install?

I guess if your not having any issues then you don't need to worry about. I always wipe dalvik and cache in recovery before a flash a rom or kernel or a theme.

You are lucky if you don't have any problems. You suppose to wipe dalvik and cache partition before flash/install a new rom. Wipe the dalvik and cache partition in recovery shouldn't erase your data, but if you don't have any problems then I guess you're ok.
Lawl. Funny thread.
First off I searched but didnt find it.
Is there a quick and easy way to update nightlies to the newest release.
I am currently using ericwill ROM - CyanogenMod 10 - JB 4.1.1 - UNOFFICIAL.
I have 2012-09-15 and would like to upgrade to 2012-09-18.
Do I need to do a full wipe and flash and then reinstall my apps with titanium backup or is there a simple way given that they are very similar?
also can I restore all the system data as well or is that too risky given that system may have changed a bit?
Thanks in advance.

U can just flash it on top but to get the best results its rly best to whipe... U avoid problems wen u do the whipe.... N as long as ur on the same rom as far as I no n my experience u can restore all system data with no problems but only do that if ur staying with the same rom other then that it's really not recommended... Hope that helps :beer:

thanks guys flashed last night worked out well
I did a darkside superwipe
flashed new rom
rebooted and let sit a while 10 mins
flashed gapps
rebooted and let sit 10 mins
rebooted again and did full sytem and apps restore with titanium backup.
one question should I do the darkside cache wipe as well and if so when should that be done?
I think as if it should be done after flashing the rom. if so after the gapps too?

When flashing a nightly you dont have to wipe! You can just add on top of each other!!! But make sure to WIPE DATA if flashing a new ROM.
To build on the first reply, I backup current nightly with trwp. Wipe all, install new nightly, Flash gapps, restore data from last backup. Wipe cache just in case and reboot. Now if on aokp, use aokp backup to restore settings. No tibu needed, all user apps restored with data

the aokp backup market app? All the reviews below it say it doesn't work with nightlies or other versions.. they say that the app itself has to be updated for every nightly. At least what i got from it.
