[Q] Clockworkmod Q's

Hey there folks,
I am new to android, and am totally into the custom scene. Problem is, I have some questions regarding Clockworkmod, if someone wouldn't mind answering for me.
When installing a new .zip from the SD card, there are numerous steps you have to perform before actually installing the .zip.
For example this ROM to flash you need to "Wipe Dalvik and Cache"
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1372376
In this ROM you need to "Wipe Data/Dalvik and Cache"
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1382022
So I need to clarify a few things.
When it says "Wipe Data" its > Wipe Data/Factory reset
Wipe Dalvik is > Advanced > Wipe Dalvik Cache
Wipe Cache is > Wipe cache partition
If someone could clarify this for me please, then that would be great.
Regards
Schmee

Yes, you are correct.

Cool, thanks you very much Sir!!!

Full wipe means:
data/factory reset
cache wipe
dalvik cache wipe
wipe system in mounts and storage
wipe cache in mounts and storage
Wiping system is very important as a flash is usually an update to a different and improved system version! ( for instance from KKA to LA4).
When getting into a bootloop pull the battery, reinsert battery and go in recovery mode and wipe data/factory reset and cache and reboot, done

Why would you format or "Wipe" the Cache partition 3 times? Just curious...

i got a bootloop after installing google apps. I've already installed cyanogen but after installing the Google Apps, cynaogenmod does startup and its a black screen.
Can you please help?

[Q] CWM Recovery wipe question

Hi all,
I was having some boot loop issues after installing AOKP 3 (maguro) on my galaxy nexus through CWM. Several users asked if I had wiped my "data cache and galvik cache" before installing, which I hadnt.
The options available in CWM are "Wipe data/factory reset" "Wipe cache partition" and through the advanced menu "Wipe Dalvik Cache"
Should I only be wiping the cache partition and dalvik? or should i also be running the data/factory reset wipe? And if I do the data/factory reset wipe, will I loose my AOKP zip on the sd card?
Thanks in advance

you should choose wipe data/factory reset. it will not delete anything on the sdcard partition.

Wipe data/factory reset, you can wipe the cache partition if you want for good measure but I believe the data wipe does that, then go under advanced and wipe dalvik. You can also format system under mounts and storage. If you do all this it will give you a 100% clean slate to flash a new ROM. It will not wipe your SD card if done through CWM.

Just wanted to say thanks for all the help... AOKP4 running perfect now.

This happens if you hit volume + right after volume - (or the opposite) in the recovery. Try to hit volume + and right after, volume - (or the opposite) when this happens and it will get back to normal.

[Q] Rom updating w/o losing data?

Updating aokp for example, the aokp updater told me about the update but is it the same process as installing for the first time? Will I lose my apps and everything or does it only wipe cache? What step in roms delete everything, format data or factory reset or both?
Cheers.

No wipe needed if updating.I recommend wiping cache and dalvik-cache for good measure tho. And you have to reinstall gapps after the rom as well.
When a wipe is needed you want to select factory reset. Never select wipe/format data as it'll wipe the internal storage too.

Then what about...
If you are already on AOKP and doing an update:
1. Make a nandroid (backup in CWM)
2. Format /system
3. Wipe cache
4. Wipe dalvik
5. Install new ROM zip
6. Install gapps
If you end up with issue or coming from another ROM, do this:
1. Wipe data/factory reset
2. Format /system
3. Wipe cache
4. Wipe dalvik
5. Install new ROM zip
6. Install gapps

Isn't a Format/system wiping the apps? Or does that not affect the apps? By format on my recovery it says formatting the sd card deletes everything (on TWRP).
Cheers.

[Q] Please help with installation CM10.1 - Android 4.2.2 - LegacyXperia Project rom

Hello all,
can you help me with installation this ROM?? Because, i don´t know, how precisely install this rom. I have first time flash kernel, which has in zip? Then go the CWM and
- wipe data/factory reset
- wipe cache partition
- mounts and storage - Format Cach/Data/System
- advanced - wipe dalvik cache
and then install rom, gapps?? It´s all?
Thank you very much.
Martin.

Please READ the installation instructions on the first post.
And no point telling anyone you don't know how to do it, Google is right in front of you.
To answer your question:
- flash the kernel
- boot into CWM
- flash the ROM.zip
- wipe data
Mount and format = wipe
You just repeated the wiping process for data and dalvik
In my experience it is not compulsory to wipe cache and dalvik when installing new ROM.

popthosegaskets: Thank you and i´m sorry.
Last Q. As you write, the last point wipe data = wipe data/factory reset, wipe cache partition and mounts and storage - Format Cach/Data/System?? Sorry for my ignorance.
