Huh? Is that a ROM or are you reffering to the wiping method?
Powered by a G2x
super wipe only works on TDJ's DARKSIDE Sense rom (not sure about MIUI), by adding the -wipe flag after the file...
not sure if that's what you're asking?

There you go. FYI, it makes your filesystem Ext3.

Not term savvy. Should I be worried about Ext3?

Back when I used my Cliq I used a super wipe file that I would flash before flashing a new ROM to ensure I did a complete wipe. That's what I'm trying to find.

Many ROMs use an Ext4 filesystem. This superwipe zip will check a file on your sd card and wipe whatever you have marked as "true" and format your filesystem to Ext3. Not a big deal. It can be easily converted. Many Ext4 ROMs do this upon flashing.
This is what you are looking for. Follow the directions in that thread.

Just like Saranhai said and Super wipe also works with TDJ Miui rom.. add -wipe to the end of the file but before .zip at the end

[Q] MT4G Kernels

I searched in the "bible" for some kernels and they all seem incompatible to the Cyanogenmod 7.1.0 release. Anyone know of a kernel that will work with this release... First time Mytouch4g user. I came from the Vibrant world. This phone seems a little more dead than over there.

Its for all GB AOSP ROMS as far as I know. That includes CM7 and Variants as well as MIUI.

Sounds good! Would you say this is better over the kernel that comes with cm7.1.0?
Sent from my HTC Glacier using xda premium
Yes. Its an improved version with a wider range of frequencies and more governors.

Tdj kernels can't be beat. I hope he devs some more in the future for us.

Good to know I'm gonna test it out myself. Thanks fellas

What is the proper way to flash a kernel? Boot into recovery, wipe dalvik, then flash?

I cleared the Davlik cache but do not know how to clear the cache partition. I am running Clockworkmod recovery.

I believe "Wipe cache partition" should be in the main/initial menu of CWM. I have CWM on both my phone and my tablet, and thats where I see it. If you can't find it there, look for Cache, advanced or anything similar. Shouldn't be very big layout changes between versions.

Cache/davlik

Is it safe to just randomly clear the cache and davlik every once on a while? I have a cache cleaner but I updated my gapps and my phone seems to be running differently now. Thinking it could be due to flashing the new zip. Any comments?

yup - no harm in wiping cache/dalvik. i try to do so at least once or twice a week.
Thanks. Appreciate the input!!

What does clearing the cache and dalvik do anyway?
Sent from my Droid Razr M using xda app-developers app
It is kind of like defragmenting a computer. Gets rid of temporary files that are useless and helps the phone to run smoother.
