[Q] What is the meaning of full wipe?

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!!!)

[Q] Strange missing free space?

I am using like 4 gigs on my main sd. It says I only have a gig left. I doubt my system is hitting 5 or 6 gigs. I'm using the Avatar rom. I attached a picture of my storage overview. I also formatted cache. Any ideas?

You are most like affected by the emulated storage bug. How to fix:
Have a card reader, and MicroSD to SD adapter
Back up all of you data to your computer
Update to the latest CWM or TWRP
Wipe Data \ Factory Reset
Wipe Cache
Wipe Dalvik Cache
Format /system
Copy a ROM and gapps to the external SD with the card reader
Flash ROM
Flash gapps
Profit!

Lemme get other people's opinions before I get drastic.

Get disk usage from the market. Run that and see what it shows you.

You without a doubt have the emulated storage bug.

Agreed. OP, formatting /system and /data will resolve this issue.

Thanks, I'll give it a try and report back. Can I use the same rom?

Yes sir. Wipe data, wipe cache. Wipe dalvik. Format /system. Format /data. Flash rom. Flash gapps. Reboot. All this is done, of course, assuming you have the rom, gapps and perhaps a band road all on a micro sd card. Cheers

I wiped the data, /system, cleared the cache/dalvik and such. Flashed both and rebooted. It shows 12 gigs total space, 2.13 available. All my files are still there. Are they supposed to be?

No. There's wipe data and format /data in cwm. Did you do both? You need to.
Or are you twrp?

I'll try now. I attempted both. I'll do both and flash again and such.

Fixed! This time, I formated /data, did a user data format, and wiped my /sdcard. It's all good now, thanks!

Well the thing that did it was wiping the /sdcard. I might have accidentally skipped over that, either way. Thanks for the help! I got everything back to the way it used to (with more space of course).

Why is SystemUI crashing?

Switching between Sense Lollipop ROMs after doing a full wipe I get system ui crashes and therefore no notification bar, etc.
Only way back for me is to RUU and start over.

Hi,
make a copy of your private data from the internal storage and then boot into recovery. Goto wipe and select format data.
After them make a fresh installation of LP ROM.

There is a diffrent between wipe data and format data. I had the same issue and it was only gone by format data.

I'll try, but I'm pretty sure that's what I'm doing. I know I said wipe before.
Thanks though. :good:

Data Partition vs Internal Storage Partition...

Advanced Wipe in Recovery provide a list of partitions (e.g. Dalvik, System, Data, Internal Storage, etc.) to wipe.
Can any expert let us know what is the different between wipe out partition Data vs Internal Storage??
Which folders will be gone if wipe out Data partition compare Internal Storage??
Thanks in advanced.

wiping out data will wipe all the apps and their data which is installed in your tom where as wiping Internal storage will wipe all photos, music etc that is saved in your phone's memory

Cant copy files into phone when wiping everything in twrp.

Before when i had my nexus 6p i always wiped everything including internal storage, but when i wipe with my oneplus 5T i can transfer files from my computer to the phone. With bluspark twrp i was just using a usb because of that but in official twrp i cant use usb. Did anyone notice that too and if there is any solution for it ? Thanks

I think you wiped everything in advanced wipe option. After that PC doesn't detect internal storage. There is an option of format data in wipe, do it, restart to twrp, and you are good to go.

I always wipe internal storage as well, but formatting data and rebooting to recovery as mentioned above fixes that issue
