If I need to wipe Data, Factory reset, and dalvik cache, are the respective names in TWRP: Factory reset, format data, and dalvik cache? First time using TWRP and only really confused on the data part.
I think they are under the wipe tab. But i don't remember because i use the super wipe.zip. it does it for me. I think MMuzzy has it for download on his thread.

Yeah but what I meant is that the wipe data, is named format data in TWRP right?
No. Wipe cache, davlik, factory reset, and system. Format data format the entire SD card

With the format all zip, do you just nandroid backup, wipe, flash format all zip, then flash new rom?

There's no need to wipe if you are using the format all zip but it won't hurt anything.
Well no need to wipe, since that is what the zip will do, but you can if you want to.
I don't think the format all zip wipes dalvik cache. At least when I flash it, and it shows what its doing, it says formatting data, formatting boot, formatting system, and formatting cache. Never says dalvik, so i'd at least be sure to additionally wipe dalvik cache.

Also, if you have your sd card partitioned, I don't think it wipes sd ext.

Dalvik cache is by default in /data. So when it says formatting data, the dalvik is being wiped as well.
I am trying to install a new Rom in my mobile, and it asks for a FULL WIPE. What is a full wipe? Is it Dalvik+Cache? Dalvik+Cache+SD format?
boot, system, data, cache, dalvic, sd-ext (NOT SDCARD!!!)

You won't delete your backup or anything on your internal memory unless you wipe sdcard.
A full wipe is: wipe cache and dalvik, factory reset, format data and format system.
You will lose all your apps and your settings.

When flashing a new rom I know you want to clear cache, dalvik, factory reset..
is it recommended to wipe system as well or no?
Some roms will wipe system inside the script itself, but you don't know that without actually taking a look inside...I always wipe everything and then flash.
/data (factory reset)
/system
/cache
Dalvik is part of /data, so it will get wiped too.

Hi,
I'm using CMW 6.x and already wipe data/factory reset, wipe cache partition and wipe dalvik cache, but application folder's was not delete.
For example: I use app Pocket Cast to download and listen to podcasts. When I wipe all data by CMW, this folder was not deleted.
So, how can I wipe all data on my android? Wipe all data like a get smartphone for the first time.
Thanks for help and sorry by my english.

You need to format sd card in mounts and storage, but make sure you have a rom installed on the phone as formatting the sd card will delete all zip files too.
