Hello,
I just want to ask whether I am wiping my phone correctly.
I'm using Amon Recovery image and then to Wipe and press option 1, 2, 3 which is Wipe data/factory reste, Wipe cache, Wipe Dalvik Cache ...
Is that enough to wipe or should I do something else before flashing?
I ask because on my 2.1 32b magic I have happened to have applications from previous flash and i did wipe correctly at least I think.
Thanks
I want to clean and delete all data on my a500, just like when it comes from the store.
My tablet is rooted, do you advice me to wipe it by going to the menu settings, or should i do it in CWM?
In CWM what option do i use?
Thanks!
Learn how to flash a new rom on it. Google xda , find your device and look in android development for your device

Hello there. I usually follow the instructions in the install page for Virtuous Picasso. Just google "How to Install Virtuous Picasso ROM on Acer Iconia A500." It goes over how to install the custom ROM, but the pre-work is very detailed. The only thing missing in there is that you could/should also wipe the battery stats. It's in the Advanced menu under the "Wipe Dalvik Cache" option. I hope this helps.
use CWM, boot into recovery mode, then wipe data/factory reset, wipe cache partition, go to advanced: wipe Dalvik cache, wipe battery status, & don't forget to wipe your behind
Do you need to Wipe Data/Factory reset from CWM when flashing from a custom rom to another?
or can I just wipe cache partition, Dalvik cache & battery stats.
If I do Wipe Data/Factory reset from CWM, does it erase your internal SD card?
that's just the same question i want to ask!
i can't flashing the custom rom from virtuos 1.0.4 to taboonay 1.1, even i allready wipe all data and cache. should i flashing the stock rom first?

Hey guys just a quick question about installing nightly builds on the nook. When Rom Manager asks whether to wipe data/cache and what not, if I select it, will it wipe the internal memory completely? leaving no user files behind? or will it only wipe the system files?
It will wipe everything and it will be a fresh install.

If you update, just wipe cache
It wipes the /data partition but doesn't wipe /sdcard /sd-ext or /met/emmc.

Just wipe Davlik.
if boot is longer than normal after wipe, it's normal!

Note: wipe cache and wipe Dalvik cache are 2 different things.
+ wipe cache is a quick way to clean the current running ROM
+ wipe Dalvik is a completely clean.
After wipe Dalvik, next time it boots, it will take a lot longer time due to the device has to re-compile the whole thing before ROM start running and booting.
I think I need to drop a few lines about wipe cache/Dalvik.
As I posted above, I said it wiped clean.
Apparently, I am NOT 100% correct.
I just updated to nb198, wiped cache (formatting /cache) then wipe Dalvik cache.
After done updating ROM, booting up, I expected everything clean, completely fresh.
It's not the case, I went to Market and all old search history were still shown. Not only with Market but other apps too.
So
a. either wipe cache/Dalvik is NOT completely clean wipe or
b. it was completely clean but somehow, those old cache info, which stored somewhere I don't know, get automatically restored back.
Okay, I did a quick read of the FAQ for CWR, and came across these:
Wipe cache partition
Wipes the cache partition of the device to clear all the data accumulated there over use. This is often used before installing a new ROM, app, kernel or any similar mod via recovery.
Wipe Dalvik Cache
Allows you to wipe the cache for the Dalvik virtual machine (the custom-built Java virtual machine for Android).This is required before most ROM installations and at other occasions too, for fixing some problems.
So, I'm taking this guide on board and will wiping Cache AND Davlik. So that's two steps prior to installing a new CM7 nightly build.

You didn't happen to store them in uSD card? Or perhaps app data/cache are separate from system data/cache...
Will look into it further...

Below is a simple How To video, you can always replay it plus I thought it might be nice to see what you are going to be doing. This is not for the G2 but it will function all the same.
