I switched on the Onscreen buttons but they aren't showing up... I tried rebooting the phone.
Switching from onscreen to offscreen and vice versa works perfectly on my side. Clear cache, dalvik at recovery. Else factory reset if you are comfortable.

Apart from factory reset any other way?

Wiping cache and dalvik/art cache isn't working

Have everything installed and was wanting to try out different kernals. I know I have to do a cache and dalvik wipe (does this clear my home screen settings and installed apps), but I wasn't sure if a full hard reset is required?

no full hard reset, just wipe cachc and dalvik cache both twice, then flash your kernel of choice.
Correct me if I am wrong, but I am assuming you wipe when switching from Sense roms to AOSP roms. But just it case, it's a good idea to wipe before each flash.
The thing I don't get is, is factory reset wipe includes battery wipe and cache wipe and dalvek cache wipe, or are they all separate?
Do I have to wipe battery stats?
Does the superwipe do the factory reset + cache + dalvik cache wipe?

Correct, but it usually isn't required to wipe between different versions of the same rom. I don't ever wipe before upgrading to a new CM7 Nightly Rom. I will, form time to time, format the cache partition.

I'm not exactly sure, but when I did a factory reset from the bootloader on my semi-bricked phone, it installed a stock rom(i think) and un-rooted the bootloader(s was turned on). I think the factory reset on CWM and 4ext just format all the partitions of the phone.
Do I have to wipe battery stats?

This is only needed if you are going to a different rom. Charge your phone to 100% but keep it in for an extra half hour, then clear battery stats, then run it all the way down without plugging it in until it auto shuts off.

I'm not sure, you might want to check the superwipe thread.
I'm fairly certain superwipe wipes everything except the SD card.

I have learned the hard way that it is never a good idea to run lithium batteries "all the way" down - that is the fastest battery killer I know.
I have researched this extensively online, and from my own experience, you won't catch my battery below 20%
perfectly accurate battery stats are not worth prematurely killing batteries!!

Not exactly.
I have run every superwipe, superwipe+, superwipe+ext4, etc, etc. that I can get my hands on, and nothing seem to erase my custom splash screen (which is a good thing)
apparently superwipe type programs must leave partition 19 alone!

why not just use 4EXT recovery? - it is better than CWM and it gives you a cool handy set of check boxes for whether you want factory reset, wipe cache, wipe dalvik, wipe EFS, wipe battery stats etc. so you can tick as many of those as like!
I've tried installing 2 different ICS roms and it just goes into a continous re-boot after install, I've done the factory reset and wipe cache's, any other ideas?

This is going to sound stupid I'm sure, but what does that wipe do that the other's don't?
Thanks
mods,
you can completely delete this thread if you're not busy, I ended up sticking with the juggernaut rom and phone works great
thanks

Reboot to CWM.
You'll need to full wipe by going to storage & mount
format the following- data, system, and cache.
next go back to the main cwm screen.
wipe factory/data that is on the main CWM screen and wipe cache partition.
afterwards go to advance then wipe delvik cache.
done!
or search for Darkside Super Wipe tool which can be found in the dev section.(pretty much the same thing but in one button)
On a clean wipe I read that wipe data factory reset wipe cache and dalvik I get that, but also go to mounts and storage and format data I don't see that option on Twrp. Is there something similar?

Try to reboot your phone. If it doesn't work, reflash and rewipe everything

The rom you are flashing has special features of being able to customize hardware and software keys.
So go into the phone's settings and find those customize keys/buttons user definable options.
There you will be able to modify what your home button and the two other softkeys in your phone do.
Good Luck!
