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.

Can anyone confirm the wipe options of newest TWRP ? wipe cache and dalvik cache i know but I am unsure about the "wipe internal storage" and "wipe data" option ? Which option should I choose if i am coming from PA 4.1.2 to 4.2.2 ?
DONT wipe data.. in twrp wiping data will also wipe sdcard.. when flashing roms do a factory reset
Factory reset will delete all the app related data , right ? My contacts, mms , etc will also get deleted ? But the data/media will be intact ?

twrp is alot better than cwm IMO, its faster and it flashes roms better, i am saying this from experiece when i had a s2 i use to have issues with cwm but twrp never let me down..
and most roms wipe system before installing the rom but i wipe it anyway.. this is how i flash ANY rom, even updates of the same rom, and never have issues
1. factory reset
2. wipe system
3. wipe cache
4. wipe dalvik
5. flash rom
6. flash gapps
7. flash AK kernel(optional)
8. reboot
9. wait 10 mins then do another reboot
10. enjoy :good:

Thanks again, for updates for same rom u also factory reset ? That means every time u setup your apps, contact , mms ? That would be painstakingly time consuming .
There are apps that can back up your apps and app data as well as text messages. Its not that time consuming. Some launchers can backup layouts, too, so that cuts down on having to reset your home screens. Contacts can be synced with your Google account, unless I misunderstood the contact comment, so much like your email they are synced when you enter your account details.

This is pretty much the formula I follow.
1) Wipe cache
2) Wipe Dalvik (a little redundant since dalvik resides in /cache)
3) Factory reset
4) Wipe System (like said above, most ROMs wipe /system but I do not anyway)
5) Flash ROM
6) Flash GApps
7) Flash kernel of choice
8) Fix permissions
9) Reboot
10) I immediately install Titanium Backup and batch restore all apps and app data before signing into my Google accounts
11) Reboot back into recovery and fix permissions again
12) Wipe dalvik again so everything is optimized
13) Reboot
14) Set up ROM how you like it.
The other thing I do is copy Nova Launcher into /system/app and get rid of Trebuchet.apk or Launcher2.apk as well as live wallpapers and other things I consider bloat. Nova let's you back up all your configs and settings so I just restore that. I'm usually back up and running in 30 minutes or so, I could pretty much do it in my sleep...

I 100% guarantee you that a factory reset will leave your sd card intact, I do it every day almost. The only way to nuke your internal storage is to wipe data, which nukes /data/media (basically your sd card) and pretty much everything else, or wiping internal storage will also nuke your sd card...

If I remember there are two options in TWRP , one is wipe data and wipe internal storage , so both do the same work , nukes data/media ? So what is the point of keeping both of them ?

Internal storage nukes just the sd card, wiping data nukes all internal storage, sd card, system, etc, if you do that you basically have to flash a stock image with fastboot...

I have never tried the factory reset option with my GNEX, but using it on a Galaxy S or Galaxy Ace definitely erased the entire internal storage. It would als mean the factory reset warning is incorrect. Strange stuff.

If that is the case then I think the nomenclature is pretty confusing and misdirecting ,
factory reset = only app related data and contacts and mms
wipe data = everything including system also
wipe internal storage = data/media.
As far as I know the factory reset option in the rom itself nukes the data/media and app related data also , what in the case for recoveries are different .Wipe data option shouldn't be there in the recovery as it can be pretty dangerous if someone accidentally does it.

If I'm not wrong, wiping data means that u have erased your current ROM, and you need to reinstall a new rom.
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.

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?

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).
I'm going to install a new ROM for the first time, planning to install Wicked.
For installing a ROM, I understand you are free to do it from the internal or external storage - you just need to find the file from the recovery's file manager. No problem.
HOWEVER, instructions for this (and many ROMs I've read about) tell you to do a "full wipe" (data, cache and dalvik).
Does this mean I can't (shouldn't) install from internal storage? Or, what are the consequences of not wiping the data partition? Can it be wiped after somehow loading the ROM file?

A "full" wipe isn't exactly a full wipe. You wipe system, data, and cache. While it's true that your internal SD card is on the /data partition, it is untouched by the wipe data function. As far as consequences to not wiping data... all sorts of problems can crop up if you don't wipe it; especially if you're moving between different ROMs (i.e. going from stock TouchWiz to an AOSP variant) or different versions of Android like 4.2.2 to 4.3, etc. If you're going from, say Wicked V9 to Wicked V10, it shouldn't be a problem to leave data intact because it's still Android 4.3. Wicked V8 to Wicked V9 would likely require a data wipe because it's going from 4.2.2 to 4.3.

Thanks. So the internal sdcard is not wiped by the data wipe? Is it possible to ask for the details of what the data wipe does in exact terms? Sounds like it doesn't do any formatting, so it must do a delete (rm -rf) of certain directories? Any idea which ones and which ones it leaves alone?

It wipes the userdata partition, and others, there's like 30 different partitions. This partition is where your apps and app data is stored. It does not wipe the sdcard partition which is your internal sdcard.

YES. Data is the one you don't want to wipe unless you have a backup of your internal storage pulled to your computer.
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
