Quick question,
I keep looking but I cannot find it for the life of me! Would anybody have a link to a script that wipes everything, like data, cache, dalvik etc., all in one? I've seen it somewhere but I can't remember where! It would be very useful!
TIA!

This will make your FS EXT3, but you can always modify it.

I actually prefer mike1986.'s super wipe script. Use it every time I flash a ROM. Here it is - http://goo.gl/hWSCt

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.
title pretty much says it all...
but what recovery do you guys use and like better? which one is more "stable", or works better?
thanks

I personally never liked CWM. Always loved Amon Ra's.
I prefer 4EXT because it has more options.

4ext all the way
And no you can't have 2 different recoveries you could have both apps installed and just flash cwm or 4 ext and then flash the other and switch that way

Cwm. Does what is for and is simple. Less prone to **** **** up. Ext4 is too complicated in my opinion.

4EXT is very useful in 1 thing - it shows the partition sizes and free space. SUPER-useful.
In all the other aspects I don't care what to use, as long as both support the faster TAR backup.
(damn, I haven't been to recovery in ages... since VU 2.37 came out).
4EXT. More functional (switching back and forth on file systems) automatically adds ROM name on backups, and is themeable.
and the paid app is awesome.

I'm using MIUI.us, and its Updater works well with 4ext, while with CMW works only with ROM Manager. I switched to 4ext then.
I tried also the "touch" version, it works for me though I don't use it frequently.
4ext...
I double 4ext.
Yes, it has many features, and it is not necessary to use all of them.
However, some of them are really nice like the native ability to check md5sums, verify if there is storage space etc.
And the touch version- good bye to the volume up/down and power buttons It is something completely different, and makes it fun to flash things.
Flashing cwm/4ext back and forth is not a problem- I accidentally flashed cwm a couple of times via rom manager without noticing, flashed back 4ext.
4ext for the "wipe 'em all" option.
4ext, yes cwmr is polished more, but 4ext though has some new exciting possibilities. Like the touch ability hopefully coming soon.

Funny, I use 4ext because I feel like it's more polished. I've never been a fan of cwm but when I left my g1 I had no other option until now.

backups
so if you had cwmr backups, can you restore them from 4ext, or do you have to flash back cwmr first?
edit: found the answer in another post. thanks.

Hey guys, just curious if any if you know if any roms that done have the lag that causes the flash to not sync with the shutter. I have tried a bunch of rooms but they all seem like they have this problem beside the aosp roms. Any helpwould be greatly appreciated, thankyou

I have never had that issue. Hmm. What do you wipe before you flash a ROM?

It's probably not a wipe issue since it's a known issue on Sense 3.5 ROMs. However, I believe that is the only platform that has that issue. All other ROMs including earlier versions of Sense (like 3.0) don't have that bug.
Alright then. I wonder why I've never run into that. I've used 4 different sense 3.5 ROMs and use my camera everyday.

I wipe the cache and do a factory data. I actually just tried virtuous with sense 3.0 and still had the same issue. Im back on stock now cuz is the only sense ROM I can find without this issue
Sent from my HTC Glacier using XDA App
Unity ROM has that issue, with Sense 3.0.
You need to flash Doubleshot camera to get rid of it.

You should wipe system partition between ROM flashes. It will save lots of issues in the future. That, followed by wipe data/factory reset (on CWM). Alternatively, if you're on 4EXT there is a "format all partitions (except sd card)" option.

Thanks for the link so what would be a good rom to work with this apk? i figure it wont work on any 3.5 sense roms as no ones been able to resolve the problem towards the flash and camera on those roms, if im correct?
Any gb sense ROM. That includes Sense 3.5

Well I just tried mikrunny. Wiped, flash, rebooted and than flashed the doubleshot camera but I'm still getting the flash delay I know I'm just being picky but the only reason I have a mytouch if for the flash when I go out to snap pics, otherwise I have my vibrant for my everyday phone. I just wish I could find a 3.5 ROM that doesn't have this problem, I really dislike stock espresso ROM lol
Sent from my SGH-T959 using XDA App
Well, teejay said its probably not a wipe issue, but as I've said before, this has never been a problem for me. Format system, wipe data/factory reset (in that order), and reflash. Formatting the system partition has saved me many an issue that others have reported.

Alright, so I just installed virtuous unity and loved the ROM but camera did not work with flash so I tried to flash the double shot camera and still same issue I guess my question now, since I can't seem to get my camera to function properly on sense 3.5 or 3.0 roms, what ROM if any would anybody suggest. I want something fast and smooth, any help would be greatly appreciated, thankyou

I don't know why, but I think it's a kernel thing. This happens to me too, until I flash tdj sense kernel and it's fine. Others have reported this helping as well

Hi I have one doubt in upgrade.
If I installed any one ICS build after that how can I upgrade to next build without flash?
Is it possible...
Sent from my MB525 using XDA
Put the new build.zip in your sd, reboot the phone, blue light and stock recovery...
It's pretty intuitive then.
This is also similar to flash...I know this one other method? Becoz every time have to install software

So No NEED TO WIPE data and cache? Am i right?
So no need to install applications again?
Wipe cache and dalvik cache but not data, and u keep your apps.
Hello xda , im currently running cm7 i know really old built. I purchased this nook a year back but its just been sitting in my drawer and dont pay much attention to it. I want to install a different rom but i dont know which one its the most stable one for you guys. Please help with this. Thank you.

I have tried them all and keep coming back to the MiRaGe rom in the development section. It just can't be beat! Try it and see if it's what you are looking for.

Or just try some ICS rom for the latest look and features. But don't expect the speed and the full hardware acceleration that the mature CM7 can provide.

Yes, this is the one. Be sure to wipe data, system and cache before installing rom.
This thread has some great instructions and settings to use with the rom.
