I've just rooted my phone and now require a ROM which doesn't have sense UI, what one would be my best option?
Thanks
Anything with AOSP in the title
and CM7, cant forget that
The best vanilla Rom I have tried is redux, I found it much quicker than ginger villain.

I just tried to flash gingervillian on my phone but I think I must have made a mistake somewhere as it got to the gingervillian load screen and then just got caught in a loop where it'd just replay the animation of it. I then had to do a restore to sort my phone out.
I did follow the unlockr guide but it doesn't help that the guy is using an Evo instead of a Desire and the menu's are totally different in the Clockworkmod screen.
At one point he says you need to wipe the dalvik cache but I couldn't find this so just wiped the cache. So this might have been the problem? Also do you need to wipe anything else at this point?
You need to wipe everything, what recovery are you using - CWM or AmonRA?
I'm using the CWM recovery.
Dunno then, in AmonRA you choose 'Wipe' and all options are in there. Must be something similar in CWM
I've checked again and I have two wipe menus:
1. Wipe data/ factory reset
(under this I have: Delete all user data)
2. Wipe Cache Partition
(in this I have: Wipe cache)
Hmmm, not as many as AmonRA - find that surprising but probably better to see what someone else says

After you do the first 2 wipe's go to advanced its the last menu and do wipe dalvik cache, after that it should work fine...

What do you mean by after I do the first two wipes?
Do I delete user data, wipe cache and also then wipe dalvik cache.
Thanks.
Yes. A "full wipe" means wiping the User data/cache/dalvik cache. So wipe all three:
1. Wipe data/ factory reset
2. Wipe Cache Partition
3. Wipe dalvik cache
The order does not matter.
Ah OK thanks.
I don't like the sound of having to 'wipe/ delete all user' data though, does this mean I'll lose all my contacts, calender entries, notes etc?
Yes, but if coming from another ROM you HAVE to do it. Do a nandroid backup before flashing a new ROM and backup any other data using Titanium Backup
I'm not coming from another ROM but regardless I'll do the Titanium backup and do the three wipes and try it again.

Well I've done it and unfortunately have been having alot of hassle trying to get it to be stable. These are the two main issues:
1. I can't seem to get psx4droid to work properly. When I go to load a game by selecting its data.bin file the screen goes black for a few seconds and then returns to the select screen, instead of firing up the game. Does psx4droid actually run on gingervillain?
2. Also I have the other extremely annoying issue where if I turn my phone off it will not get any further than the gingervillain splash screen and just freezes on it. The only way passed this is to then go into CWM and wipe all the user data again!
Can anyone help with these two problems?
Use Oxygen 2.0.1 and download ADW Launcher, sounds like what you want, i have flashed just about all the ROM's and i reckon Oxygen is the best, then use UOT Kitchen to make some cool mods and ADW Launcher EX speeds it up alot also.
Plus its very stable and you wont get any boot loops or anything.
Okay, I was on AOKP M4 and I wanted to upgrade to M5.
So I backup everything and make a backup of my ROM. I wipe the phone and caches and flash M5 with the GAPPS, with the latest CWM touch recovery. When my phone reboots I notice I have the same wallpaper as before and when I unlock my phone my pin is still requested and all of my apps and settings stayed exactly the same. I was never asked to sign into my Google account and the start up/set up screen never came up. I checked to see if I even updated and yes I was on M5. Now the ROM isn't very fast or smooth and I get a lot of force closes and things not working properly.
I tried the whole process again with the CWM non-touch recovery, and again my phone did not fully wipe and all my apps and setting remained exactly the same.
I tried it again with the TWRP touch recovery, and again my phone did not fully wipe and everything was the same and my phone remains kind of slow and I'm getting a lot of force closes.
Why is my phone not fully wiping? What can I do to fix this?
I would really appreciate some help!
you need to wipe factory / data.
wiping cache and dalvik doesn't wipe "/system/etc etc etc"
1. Wipe Factory
2. Wipe Data
3. Wipe Dalvik
4. Flash ROM
5. Flash Gapps.
6. Flash Kernel
for full wipe.

Yes, that is what I'm doing. I'm wiping factory/data and I'm still having the same problem
Like with the TWRP recovery, I went to wipe, I hit factory reset, then cache, then dalvik cache and then flashed the ROM and GAPPS and all my apps and settings stayed the same. It was like if I had dirty flashed it. I don't understand what's going on.

***FORMAT /SYSTEM*** (under mount in CWM I believe)

What does that do exactly? Would I have to worry about my media and sd card being wiped?

Okay thank you, I guess this time in TWRP I'll do factory reset, cache, dalvik cache, and system and see if it works out
Okay, so I did factory reset, cache, dalvik cache, and format system.
I flashed M5 and GAPPS, rebooted and everything was still the same. My phone did not fully wipe.
I don't understand what's going. I'm so frustrated right now

I would do a factory reset, if that doesn`t help flash a stock rom and root your phone again. BTW don`t you have a nandroid backup to revert to

I have a nandroid backup, but that doesn't solve the problem of my phone not wiping.
I guess I'll unroot my phone and lock the bootloader and re-do everything to see. I don't understand why my phone isn't wiping correctly.
sometimes cwm just doesnt work with factory wipe. i've used it a few times now and sometimes it works and sometimes it doesnt. i have no idea why. you can try doing a factory wipe from the phone settings>backup and reset. ive only done that twice but it worked both times. if that still doesnt work just go with a fresh flash of google images using fastboot.

Init.d folders can only be wiped with a factory reset afaik, or manualy off course. By locking and unlocking the phone you perform a factory reset anyway, so i would flash a stock rom and start fresh. No chance on left files or scripts. You can do it with GNex Toolkit, option 8. Put the downloaded and not extracted .tgz file here C:\Galaxy Nexus ToolKit\put_google_factory_image_here and flash.
Thanks guys, I'll try that!
Just looking for a noob clarification. I am clear that when you flash a new ROM one should do a super wipe or with TWRP factory reset, system wipe (and I guess internal memory wipe) and afterwards cache wipe and davlik cache wipe, and fix permissions.
But my question is if one is applying a patch, like the agps patch, or some rotation patch, customized keyboard, and the like, does one also need to do all the post-wiping and permission fix? And more precisely, is it safe to install several zips at once, or should one install wipe, let it sit for 10 minutes, and repeat for each patch installation?
Thanks.
Superwipe will clear your ROM, so you probably shouldn't do that after the GPS patch.

No you don't have to do a full wipe for a patch installation ...you only do it for Roms but sometimes there are patches which make you wipe data for specific apps(the one the patch changed )but if the dev didn't say anything you don't wipe

Usually when you go from one ROM to another you want to clear cache, dalvik-cache, clear data (factory reset). This will give you a fresh new slate. While a lot of ROM suggest the same process, you really need to read each of their documentation. then read 3x more. The one time that you don't may be an expensive lesson if you are unlucky. For most patches or radio flashes you don't need to do anything. Again read the documentation and then reread 3x more. Always do a nandroid backup.
for me, everytime i flash something...i would always wipe cache and dalvik. it sometimes remove unwanted errors.

Same here, plus a fix permissions for good measure.
TDJ put out a cache only wipe script as well. If you are using CWM you can use those. No need to on TWRP.

I like Derek's cache wipe because it does cache, dalvik, and fixes permission all in one swipe
Hi you guys. Im have a bit of trouble whit the CWM. Im stuck in a kind of bootloop after updating to latest CM10. It boots up and i can access my homscreen for like 6-7 sec, but then it reboots to bootscreen.
So i thought i have to wipe my data, get it back to factory state. So i do that, wipes cache to. I have even tried the Mount and storage > format /system /cache and /data.
But when i re-install my rom allmy apps, wallpaper and that, are all where i put them. I can even mange to open some of the apps whitin the 6-7 sec window i have before the phone will reboot. The CWM says it done all things right. No error messages at any time ...
Any one whit an idea to get this back on track ?

are you wiping data(factory reset) or are you just wiping your dalvik and cache?

OK do what simms22 has explained. That should work.
But from what I am interpreting is that you are doing cache not wipe. So you go to "wipe data/factory reset" menu and hit/press yes. It should wipe it and done. BTW it might have been in a boot loop because you might of dirty flashed or you didn't wipe cache and dalvik cache. That is very important to remember. Never dirty flash and also wipe cache and dalvik cache.
Also did you play with tweaks and such before this was happening. Like voltage or over clock because that could be the problem too.
Dalvik cache and cache are hash signed by the last rom that was flashed. New rom, new hash sign. No need to wipe caches, just data.

Cwm is notorious for failed wipes.
Definitely upgrade to twrp, and if your phone is so messed up twrp can't wipe it, use the android revolution wipe script.

If you're backed up and don't mind losing EVERYTHING, yes, EVERYTHING in /data, then boot into fastboot mode and run
Code:
fastboot erase userdata
from your computer. (Might need root privileges if running on Linux)
Hi guys. I got it to work finally. I didt some tweaking whit the DPI. Maybe that was the cause of the crash ??
But i went to use the Galaxy Nexus toolkit, first of all to flash the other recovery program. But since it dint work either i flashed it whit sock rom, from the same toolkit at started all over. That did work, but hell of a way to go

Get TWRP Recovery
Wipe System, data, cache, dalvik, factory reset (wont delete anything from Internal sd) and/or... format data (deletes internal and everything but not extSD but I recommend doing this format)
Then fresh install a ROM
This should hopefully fix all problems in the phone..

What recovery mode your using , Use TWRP, while installing rom , make sure you Wipe Cache, Dalvik Cache, and factory reset, and then install the Rom should be able to install it without any issues , Usually you get this error if your not following the OP instructions as mentioned please read the OP in how to install the rom.
