Hello everyone!
I´ll bother you with a few quick questions:
I have a stock rooted Motorola Defy+ (MB526) which is laggig way too much.
I wanted to wipe cache and wipe dalvik cache. Is there a stock "Recovery Mode"? Judging from screenshots, i think so. However i can only see the "wipe cache" option. Is the "wipe dalvik cache" option not available in this recovery mode? Can anyone suggest a better way in which i can perform such wipes?
Once again, thanks everyone in advance!

Wipe dalvik cache isn't available in Stock Recovery Mode - I believe stock is only used to root the phone.
You need a custom recovery - search for 2nd-init (v2.3). That will install a bootmenu which is accessible when the notification light turns blue after you boot your device. When you are in bootmenu, select 'Recovery' then 'Custom Recovery' and it'll take you to a version of CWM. From there go to 'Advanced' and you will see 'Wipe Dalvik Cache'
Also from CWM you have the ability to 'Apply .zip files from sdcard' which is how you flash custom ROMs, which could help with your lag issue.
Hope that helps

So I rooted my phone for the dumbest reason...so I could take screen shots lol anyways, it's been freezing up with the texting and stuff. I was wondering if there is anyway to unroot it. Please someone help.
That's a funny reason to root your phone.....anyway, just flash a stock rom. Make sure you wipe first.

What is wiping
Boot into recovery (hold volume down and power at the same time, after white bootloader screen appears, select recovery), now in recovery select wipe data/factory reset, then select wipe cache, then select advanced, then wipe dalvik cache - wiping dalvik is optional in clockworkmod, since it is already wiped in the previous steps (this is the menu and steps for clockworkmod recovery, RA recovery is similar)
Anytime you flash a new rom or kernel, wiping gives you a clean slate helping prevent future issues.

Hi all.
can I please get some confirmation before I mess things up (again)?
I'm currently running on CM7 RC0. I'd like to upgrade to RC1v2. The procedure I think is:
1. Download Latest CM7 ROM and put on SD card.
2. Boot into Custom Recovery.
3. Install the CM7 zip file and then the google apps one.
4. Select "Wipe Cache" then go to Advanced and select "Wipe Dalvik Cache". Reboot.
Is this right, or do I need to go back to the start and reflash the sbf, root, etc etc?

That's unuseful, even more if you do it after installing cm7 + gapps !
I have upgraded to RC1 without wiping anything...
Of course, if you want to avoid doing some mess you'd better wiping cache + dalvik before installing the rom, but it's not really necessary.
oops. Yes I may have got that in the wrong order.
edited sorry
If you first wipe than update over zip you are on the save site

It's also good to do a 'Wipe battery stats', on Recovery->Custom Recovery->Advanced. Battery can get a little messed up upon upgrading.
Check out the FAQs thread by antony.ps, it is very good! -> http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1065798
The instructions for upgrading are in the item 3. They are still for CM7 RC0, but it is just a matter of substituting the files for the newest CM7 + gapps
thanks. I did the update this morning after finding section 3) in the FAQs - I'd looked there yesterday and completely missed them. Will now work on slowing down my scrolling speed so I don't miss important stuff again.
i just want someone to confirm my research. i am running 4.0.2 stock with root, fastboot, cwr, locked bootloader. plan to install aokp and franco
backup (though to be honest since i just got this phone i don't really have anything on it)
1. restart into fastboot
2. unlock bootloader from adb with 'fastboot oem unlock'
3. put rom and gapps zip into /sdcard/
4. restart into cwr
5. wipe cache/system/data/dalvik
6. 'Install zip from sdcard' > select rom/gapps/kernel files
7. reboot
Looks good to me. Good Luck!
If it doesn't boot try flashing just the rom and gapps and boot back in to android.
Then reboot back into CWM wipe cache and dalvik then flash the kernel.

Hi, can you please provide steps for doin' the same above thing using fastboot instead of cmw
before installing a new kernel always wipe dalvik its very important ... you will know you wiped dalvik properly when you boot next because you will get "android upgrading optimizing applications"
A quick question when going from a custom ROM to another ROM do you do a "Wipe data/factory reset" & "Wipe cache partition" before flashing the kernel then flashing the ROM or do you do the exact same process as flashing a custom ROM and kernel from stock?
well i did not understand your questiion fuully. however, let me explain the process to you.
!) download the rom and paste it into your sd card.
2)now, flash the appropriate kernel provided with the rom.
3)now the custom kernel will have cwm recovery installed in it bydefault
4)u need to enter cwm recovery using the voloume keys while the phone is booting
5)once entered, u need to 'wipe data/factory reset' and then, 'wipe catch partition', and then 'wipe dalvic cache'
6)now go to'install zip from recovery'
7)choose your rom and install it.
note: however, i suggest you to make a nandroid backup of your current rom so that incase if anything goes wrong, you can always restore your phone.
I just figured out my own question

What you do is read every word of the installation instructions of whatever it is you're trying to install.
Hello,
I'll just flashed my HTC, and installed Android Revolution HD 71.1 and this included the Harman/Kardon audio.
But now I have a problem, I was trying to hear a different but when I played a song with the standard music app, I didn't hear a thing. Same problem with Google Music.
But when I start YouTube and play a video, there is sound.
Does anyone know the problem or does someone know the solution?
Thanks.

Did you do a clean install (wipe data, Dalvik and cache before flashing the ROM)?

Uhm.. not really. I followed these:
--
How to flash:
Download ROM and place it on your virtual SD card
Boot your phone in recovery mode (vol down + power)
In main menu, select "install zip from sdcard"
Select "choose zip from sdcard" and browse to the location of Android Revolution ROM
You can use data wiping option in AROMA (optionally if coming from earlier version of my ROM, obligatory if coming from stock or other custom ROM)
After flashing process is complete, reboot the device
--
And i did a data wiping.

I always wipe in recovery. AROMA wipes have known to be problematic on past devices.
Try to wipe data, Dalvik and cache (the is the default factory reset in TWRP) and flash again, and see if that helps.

Thanks for your reply's, i did all you said.. but didn't help.
I will try once again but this time without installing the Harman/Kardon software.
https://www.dropbox.com/s/9x3twhxlx797tai/hk_enable_and_adsp_update_v3.zip
Try flashing this in twrp.
Thanks for your help guys. I appreciate it.
Yesterday i reinstalled my ROM without the Harman/Kardon audio, and it works now.
So I will just let it be this way.
This topic can be closed now.

Just in case you did want HK, you need to be s off to guarantee it working.
Or if you are s on, install a sound mod like project era first then HK.
Anyway good to hear you got it sorted
