Restored from a backup I made in TWRP of NoWizAOSPMod and updated both PRL and Profile before I did Factory Reset 3x Wiped System 3x Wiped Cache 3x and Wiped Dalvik 3x. Everything is working great in PAC of ICE ROM it's just that the no GPS is a deal breaker for me :/ Any idea if I can fix it so that GPS works?

1. Download Touchwiz based ROM
2. Update the crap out of everything
3. GET A GPS LOCK ON MAPS!!!
4. Reboot and Wipe Erything (system, data, cache) (don't need to 3x wipe)
5. Install 4.3 and Gapps
6. Should work!

flashed SRF 1.1.0 a couple days ago (first time rooting and all -- yeehaw!), so this is a n00b question
i know that for that, i had to data data, cache, and dalvik cache
i've also flashed the Vision kernel, which ... seemed like it didn't require wiping data or cache or dalvik cache
i've also flashed an impaled keyboard tweak and that one seemed to require wiping just cache and dalvik cache, but not data (as i recall)
so... i'm just confused, and wondering... when do i know if i need to wipe data, or just cache/dalvik, or none at all?
i just flashed the AOSP screen lock zip .. didn't see any instructions, so i figure wipe cache and dalvik, but not data (didn't want to lose my texts was my thinking)... and i just made that up. and that seemed to work. but i figure if i knew the rules of thumb, i'd feel better like i knew what i was doing
any clues / insights would be super appreciated!!
The only time u wipe:
1.
Data/Cache/Dalvik
For a rom flash that says on the rom thread wipe wipe wipe
2.
Cache/Dalvik
Is mainly when u flash themes its reccomended
3.
As for kernals and other mods unless it says to wipe then you dont need to...
Nice info so far.
After you have done this a while you can start drawing from your brain through osmosis and you will understand: if it doesn't work the way you want....EXPERIMENT.

the above post is correct, sorta.
anytime u flash something that mods /system its good practice to wipe cache and dalvik cache.
flashing a kernel, u will want to wipe cache/dalvik cache just to be safe. it prevents any sort of incompatibility between kernels.
my 2 cents
Just did a clean install of Anthem v2.1 and everything booted up fine. I went into recovery, wiped data, dalvik, and cache, and installed the latest gingertiny kernel. When I reboot from recovery, I get bootloop. What's wrong?

Thats because you wiped data. You should only wipe dalvik-cache and the cache partition.

Just to add to this. NEVER wipe data after flashing a Sense 3 or Sense 3.5 ROM. Actually even some Sense 2.1 ROMs that is a bad idea.
This is because the way these ROMS are built as the storage in /system cannot hold the whole ROM so they have to build part of it in /data. So wiping data will clear the ROM components as well as the user data. If you have to wipe data, plan to reflash the ROM again. So I say don't wipe data AFTER flashing the ROM unless you plan on reflashing the ROM. You can and will probably need to wipe data before flashing the ROM though.
Is there a reason why Titanium Backup isn't working? When I try to restore the progress bar just doesn't do anything...I had this problem with my Galaxy Tab and I had to change the app processing mode but is there a different issue?

Make sure USB debuggging is on. If it is, I don't know.
I think the problem is that I ran out of internal memory, I have a huge sd card so I think I can solve this problem. Thank you for replying though. I would've posted something on the actual rom page but I don't have enough thumbs up
I'm running TeamNDVRu's CM9 α7 and I want to upgrade to β2. The beta 2 changelog says:
No wipe needed, only go into Manage Apps/All/Camera and wipe camera app data.
Boot.img didnt change from alpha-12/beta-1, no need to fastboot flash if upgrading from those.

Since I'm only on alpha 7 I presume I'll need to flash boot.img again and also delete the camera app. data. as it says. I'm guessing when in recovery I should wipe the Dalvik VM cache and the cache partition as well.
The one thing I'm not sure on is whether or not I'll need to wipe the data (factory reset) as well?
Bump.

There's been a few versions between m8, I would imagine full wipe is best. But you can always try with just wiping Dalvik and the cache partition. If you get any problems then full wipe (factory reset)
I got my Samsung Galaxy S 3 earlier this week and have rooted it and I flashed it with JellyBomb 10.2 I then wiped factory reset, wipe cache, and wipe delvic cache and flashed another rom. I decided I wanted to go back to JBomb 10.2. So I did a wipe factory reset, wipe cache, and wipe delvic cahce and flashed JBomb 10.2 again. Now my camera is not the one it shows in the screen shots. I can't even view the picture without closing the camera and opening the gallery icon. So I wiped the cache and wiped delvic again, and flashed JBomb again. Still the same camera program, which is not what I had the first time I flashed the phone. Any ideas or suggestions?
Thanks...
As the title states, my phone only plays video such as on youtube or the twitch.tv app when the ui is present. So once the video title and play/pause buttons disappear then the video, or stream playback stops.
I'm on the newest version of MOAR, clean flash (wiped dalvik system and cache x3), no system data restored through TiBu but I did restore app and app data. I'm using freeza's optimized kernel with no tweaks currently.
I hope someone can help because I can't watch videos without constantly tapping the screen to keep the video playing but then I can only see about half the video lol. Thank you to anyone who tries to help! And let me know if you need anymore info.

You didn't mention a factory reset in the clean install thus not a clean install. You have all data from previous rom underlying under your flash of MOAR. Clean flash consist of wiping cache, and factory reset. Dalvik wipe is not necessary because when you do factory reset it will wipe dalvik also.

If you did not also do a Factory Reset before you Flashed. Then you did not do a Full Wipe. You can try booting into Recovery, Wipe Dalvik Cache, Wipe Cache, Fix Permissions, and Reboot. If that does not work I would suggest You do a Full Wipe ( System - Data - Dalvik Cache - Cache - Factory Reset ) . Then Flash the Rom. Before Flashing the Rom I would also suggest checking the MD5 Checksum.

As i said in my last post i did do a factory reset, and I did check the md5 checksum as well
Edit: Thanks for reminding me to try clearing caches and fixing permissions, i should've tried that a while ago and all is well again. Thanks for the help guys
