Panorama skips when trying to scroll across. It starts capturing then freezes before it starts capturing again so the picture loses a big section in the panorama. I am currently using Goldeneye rom with KT kernel (most recent versions). Anyone can help?
Read that roms thread to find out if that's a known bug. If not, you're going to be told to reflash. You could start simple by wiping cache and dalvik then reflashing the rom and kernel. If that doesn't correct the issue and you can't live without panorama, you'll likely have to do a full wipe and reflash

I did a search in the GOLDENEYE thread but was unable to find any similar issues. Unfortunately, I cannot post in that thread since I do not have enough posts yet. So far I have tried flashing back to stock kernel, wiping system/data/cache/dalvik then flashing the rom with stock kernel, then wiping again and flashing it with KT kernel. None of these have worked so far. But at least I think that it isn't the kernel that is causing the issue with the camera. Sent a PM to the dev, so hopefully he can provide some insight.

if this is the wrong place for this SORRY IN ADVANCE
ok so after rooting my shift i followed all the steps got the recovery on there and downloaded a ROM and wiped everything and when the rom flashed it said error 7 instalation aborted so i hit reboot system now just to see what would happen because i did wipe everything so i was expecting to be stuck at the boot img..no problem was just playing around but the thing actually booted in a rom that looks 100% stock....what happened
even tho the ROM looks 100% stock it is def not i have adfree and esfile explorer added to app drawer now if its gonna flash the rom anyways why does cw 2.5.1 tell me its a no go with a stauts 7 i have even formatted my card to wipe it 100% and the same thing happens>?
when you "wipe" you're not wiping the rom. The data, cache etc yes. Only a rom install overwrites a prior rom. unless you format the phone.

People that flashed the base steel posted had similiar issues. E.G. if you were on cm6 and wiped, then flashed the base, you'd boot into a fresh cm6. The partitions were setup wrong, I believe.

I just rooted for the first time yesterday so I'm fairly new to all this... is it common practice to wipe cahce/dalvik prior to flashing any ROM?
I've gone back and forth from the stock ROM to another custom Sense ROM without wiping and no issues. Is it only advised if something goes wrong? Also, is there an issue with just going into recovery and wiping cache when NOT flashing a new ROM (just rebooting to the same one I'm using)? Thanks for the help.

Its good practice to always wipe. You may get by without it a few flashes. But eventually you'll be haunted by force closes, boot loops, etc.
Personally when I flash a new rom after the data, cache and dalvik wipes I format my boot, system, data and cache partitions manually via the mounts menu.
From experience, to truly see changes in rom updates or properly enjoy an entirely different one, this eliminates most problems before they ever manifest.

It has been brought to my attention that most Rom devs tell you to wipe before flashing a new rom. Notion Ink suggests that you wipe after flashing their roms.
I would suggest wiping before and after...
Especially if you are having issues and you have flashed a custom rom and have reverted to stock rom by your own choice or by suggestion of Notion Ink.
I am not exactly sure why, but it seems as if wipe doesn't or isn't actually wiping and it causes anomalies within the stock and custom roms afterwards..
Just a suggestion, hope it helps, surely doesn't hurt..

hi...
after i went for a swim with my defy, i had to give it for service and i believed they have replaced some thing in my phone, probably the touch screen which is still showing bit or non responsiveness here and there.
now almost all my apps are crashing/foreclosing... cant play a game or normal apps too... all are foreclosing and recently i have noticed a serious lag in all functions... i tied cm10, wiui, etc... and now back on stock... still same issue...
can anyone suggest anything???
could it be something about the kernel??? but that also should've been rectified once i flashed a fixed stock sbf for 2.2 version.
firmware - 2.2
baseband - epu93_u_00.59.02
kernel - 2.6.32.9-g0671d13
build - jem_3.4.3-36-1
Have you done a Fullwhipe between the Rom Changes?? Have you already flashed another Full Froyo SBF?

i always do a full wipe between ROM...
1. factory reset > cache wipe > dalvik wipe > install zip > wipe cache > wipe battery info...
this is how i normally do between roms...
i have flashed only one full froyo sbf, which is http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1093352
can anyone help???
Please ask all questions in the Q&A section. Thread moved there.
can anyone help me rectify this issue... now not just my apps are foreclosing, phone is rebooting..!
what can be done??? should i flash another kernel or sbf???
anyone faced similar issues before???
Hi, this is a noob question but i was wondering if i wanted to install a new version of purity rom over my existing purity rom, would i have to factory wipe or just davik/cache wipe it? If i just davik/cache wipe would the rom not run as smoothly?
Always do clean flash to avoid issues later on. But technically there is nothing against flashing over a current rom. I just dont recommand it

just flash it right over, without wiping anything. dont forget gapps if needed. when you flash a rom, it automatically wipes the dalvik and cache, so you dont have to do it, or its just a repeated process. updates you never ever have to wipe. when flashing a new/different rom, thats when you have to wipe data/factory reset beforehand.

you have as much of a chance seeing issues after a clean flash as you see during a dirty flash. ive dirty flashed every single item on my n5 since the n5 came out, and on my n4 as well. not a single issue. the only time ive wiped my n4 in a year and a half was for the L preview.
@simms22: that is what my experience was. I always did a clean flash and no 'halp, xy app fc' or 'phone stuck on boot' once like most of the problems here om xda. So yeah @nightryder1, if you want to be a bad ass doing a dirty flash, do so. There is no right or wrong in this case. Just consider, that a 'noob' should aways learn and experience everything properly first before doing some dirty things

well, he is majorly right in one place.. being new, you should, no, have to learn how to do things the right way first. once you learn the proper procedure, and how to fix the little things that could go wrong, then you can worry less about the safety.
but anyways, there is no reason to wipe dalvik nor cache when flashing a rom, as it automatically gets wiped when you flash. the only reason that you would wipe dalvik and cache manually is when doing it without flashing anything, just for a little clean up
I flashed my Moto G4 Play with Lineage OS. Everything was working fine until I unlocked my phone and a linked opened automatically in Chrome. This happens everytime I unlock my phone. I also get other kind of ads. When I press the activity button to see which app is responsible, the ad disappears.
What should I do to fix this?
I was thinking about flashing crDroid but noticed "DO A DATA WIPE " in the instructions. What does this mean? How can one do this? And what are dirty and clean flashes?
Not sure exactly about what is causing your ads, but clean flashing either another rom or the same one should fix it. To answer your question, this is what you wipe in recovery mode before flashing a rom for the first time (usually in TWRP):
data, cache, dalvik, system
This is what is called a clean flash, because you also wipe the data partition (which is where all your apps and their respective data is stored); if you were to do a dirty flash, common for updating roms, this is what you would wipe before flashing:
cache, dalvik, system (I wipe system because old habits die hard, I believe most - if not all - roms do this from the zip already).
So, dirty flashing (the same or a newer/older build of the rom you're in, otherwise you're just asking for trouble) would most likely not fix your issue as it is probably caused by an app you need to get rid of. Either clean flash the same rom, or go for another one. crDroid is nice, I'm using it with the heliox kernel. It has adaway built in so even if your ads issue does come back you might still be able to get rid of it natively.
Hope I helped!

Usually the cause of this kind of ads is some app you installed, and not the rom itself.
I would uninstall apps to find out the culprit.

Turned out to be Adblock Plus. The irony.
I have some torrents downloading on the internal storage. As soon as they are downloaded I will do a clean flash as the problem has resurfaced. Except android device manager, apps like greenify have their administrator access revoked. However, the ads still come.

How do I flash a kernel? Is it safe for a noob like me? Does the kernel have adaway or the ROM? Because if the ROM has adaway I would prefer not to mess with the kernel.
Thanks a lot for explaining what a clean and dirty flash is and how they are different!

Kernel flashing is similar to rom flashing; I think the best way to flash a kernel is to flash it right after clean installing the rom (this is, do all the wipes, flash the rom, the gapps, whatever addon, and the kernel); though I wouldn't call it safe (since none of this potentially is, if you don't pay attention), I wouldn't advise against it. It's part of the whole experience, and kernels can really improve your phone. In this case, adaway's included in the rom, not the kernel. So you should be fine without Heliox. But you should try it someday! Just remember to keep a backup of your data in case anything goes sideways. Good luck!
I took no backup of the kernel (my bad), flashed it after wiping the data and then I installed wiped everything and then I flashed the kernel again, the ROM (crDroid) and gapps. Working like a charm. Thanks!
