Whenever I update nightlies I lose all my settings and get a restore of an old set of apps I had months ago. Like its restoring old data and not restoring other data/settings.

Do you wipe and choose zip?
or no wipe and choose zip? If this ,i have no idea...
Don't wipe... just flash the new nightly. I use titanium backup just in case or in the event I feel like doing a full wipe.

I just updated my aria to the latest 2.2 liberated Rom. I installed it this morning and now just realized it said to wipe data before I installed it. But I didn't. I just plain out installed it. It seems like its running fine. But what do I do? Do I still need to wipe data or something?

If it were me, I would do a backup and wipe it then re-install, but If you are not experiencing any issues, then it does not seem like you need to. If you do encounter any issues, Then definitely do it.
No need to wipe data if you are going from a liberty to liberty, if you went to liberty to cm6 then yes you would need to wipe data..

Don't think too complicated for this, if you don't have problem, then let it be.
To tell you to wipe, is to lower the chance to have problem.
It's just same as upgrading/change of different OS of you PC.
e.g. One maybe painless from XP -> Vista without format, the other maybe turns out blue screen.
I was on.free x10 i cooked my own theme didnt like it and.i went and installed some apps and.stuffs but when i restored freex10 again to take off my theme and let it be replaced whit the stock froyo one well all my apps was kept + the live wallpaper i had set before restoring again any clue ?
Sent from my X10i using XDA Premium App
I am guessing you had the same apps when you backed up before you added the theme..... If so, when you restored FreeX10 vanilla, you did a full restore and restored your settings and apps.
If you want a clean install of Freex10, reinstall custom zip via xRecovery or don't restore apps and data.
I just restored like i always used to and it never happened to me i didnt do an advanced restore :/

You should have done an advanced restore, so you don't restore apps and data.

Ok I can't find anything to answer this question. Therefore I am asking, because I just don't believe this has been asked be4. I am running Revolution HD 6.3.1. My phone(HTC INSPIRE 4G) sometimes just slows down to a halt. It started about a week ago. I have uninstalled a good many apps, and cleared plenty of space. Prior to rooting, and flashing I had this problem and restoring to factory setting fixed this. Ok now that I've explained that, the Rom(as stated above) I'm on has the option to do this. I want to know if I do this if it will "restore back to just flashed condition" although it says factory condition, but Is a flashed ROM. Will it just simply put, brick my device, or reinstall the Rom as if I had just flashed it. Thanks ahead of time.

Ir you factory reset the phone you will get stuck in the splash screen. If you want to go back to stock, the restore a backup from CWM or flash a stock Rom from CWM. Factory reset does not work in custom roms...

Thanks for that response. I'm not interested in stock at all. I just wanted to know if it would work. Root and flashed Roms are always smoother, even if some of them have bumps. Truthfully I'm waiting on a RC Rom from Existz, as I just want a stock android experience

In CWM wipe data and cache and it should be some sort of factory reset.

Hey guys, I am about to flash another custom ROM, and I was wondering, once I backup my app data with Titanium backup, where should I put it so that when I flash another ROM, it doesn't get wiped? Other than on my computer, I was wondering if there was a way to do this without having to transfer all of my data to it
Flashing a ROM doesn't delete data. What does is clearing data or a factory reset. Some Roms you have to. But in the case of Paranoid Android (my favorite, great hybrid tabui switcher and based on cm10) you don't have to.

Factory reset still does not clear the SD card partition, nothing will touch that unless you do it on purpose (or screw up)

Yes what's is the right way

Well... When you make a nand, backup the SD ext for that Rom. You can't keep apps when switching from sense to reloaded since, obviously, sense stuff wont work with aosp. Also, before restoring, wipe SD ext and all that stuff. Not sure if it does anything, but i always do that before banding back to a rom

What i do is,when i install a new rom,i set everything up,no tweaks and themes yet,just the settings and gmail,crap like that,i update my apps and then i nandroid everything,i even do compression,takes up less space,then i start adding tweaks,one by one,then i nand again and delete the old one,i do this procedure,until i have my rom where i want it.
When you do a nand leave the top three or whatever checked, check SD ext., and uncheck android secure. The next time you restore that nand it will be as you left it before you flash.

Backup everything except cache if you want to restore to exactly the same thing you have when you run the backup

Same here. nand a basic setup and a complete setup
If you don't back up .android make sure you have moved all apps to the phone or those apps won't work on restore. I have been told you don't need to wipe before a restore but I always do.

Well i'm not sure who told you that,but if you dont wipe before a restore,theres a possibilties of having issues from the other rom.I recommend a full wipe before anything but mods,updates or Gapps.
I have heard before that the wiping scripts are built into the restore process, though I don't know how true that is. I have never wiped before a restore and have never had the slightest problem no matter what rom I'm going to or from.

I always wipe caches and temp files on a restore. Better safe than sorry, right?
