How to make clean install?

Every time i see new rom som ppl suggest to make clean insall...
What is the clean insall and how to do it?
Sent from my MB526 using xda app-developers app

Clean install mean wiping data, cache and delvik cache before installing custom roms.
In contrast with update install, which avoid wiping data to keep apps and user data intact (but risk getting bugs or bootloops.)

I do it all but the facility is not clean ... or it downloads the google restore everything?
eg: back my wallpaper, settings etc. and Wifi.

If after clean install you got welcome screen asking gmail account, you're doing it right.
Just uncheck "restore to this phone..." or something like that so it won't redownload unwanted apps you once installed.

But if you mean wiping data didn't remove any apps or settings you got before, I doubt that your CWM is working properly...
You may need to flash a correct stock rom for your device (be aware of bootloader version) and start again from rooting.

Issues after installing the CM 12S update

Hi Guys.
I installed the CM12 on my Yureka following the link http://forum.xda-developers.com/yureka/general/discussion-yu-yureka-cm-12s-lollipop-t3084461
I downloaded the update from the first signed OTA link and followed the instruction to install. Did a factory reset and then wipe cache partition and Every thing went good and I could boot into CM12S.
Now my issues started. I could not install anything from the Play store as when I click on icon for play store, it says App not installed. I installed the rom again from the recovery. Still the same. Another issue that I get is for storage space. I get an error message in CM12 which tells me that I am running out of space and I need to ensure that I have atleast 250 MB of free space available. But when I check my storage in settings, I have more than 12 GB free. I am attaching screenshots for the errors that I am getting, kindly help someone.
By the way I tried installing the latest play store apk but get an error application not installed.

I too have issues with the lollipop update a super annoying one, not beinng able to pick up calls and notbe ing able to end one too. I posted the details here in another thread (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=60169653&postcount=22).
If anybody has a method to roll back or have a AOSP/CM based 64bit ROM, I would love to hear that.

device became slow. hell slow
I updated my uyreka with latest ota update manually. But after installation with proper steps everything is working fine but device is now responding slow. Being more precise..hell slow.
I can install apps can play games but normal operation likenavigation opening apps lags a lot.
Frankly speaking i did not like this update. Wants to roll back.

Mobile became very Slow
After updating lolipop my mobile became very slow and the mobile charging time was increased ( Takes morethan 7 hours for full charging). Applications installed were slowly and wifi problem also. Battery drains very quickly.

For manual updates:
-like we used to do for custom ROMs, need to wipe cache.
-since this is an upgrade from 32 bit to customized 64 bit apk swappings, I think its better to do a factory reset

Troubleshooting
I have resolved some of the issues. You may head over to my thread for them.

Nothing is working. Tried to install the google play services apk provided in the troubleshooting link but could not install. Damn I can't even go back to the 32bit Kit Kat. That was far better than this version of CM12.

did you try clearing out the cache ? cleared the data ?? from the launcher , restart.
then also try wiping cache from the CM recovery . That usually resets everything back to original state that might help.
if not reset the entire phone. If nothing works at all , then flash the ROM again.
---------- Post added at 08:10 AM ---------- Previous post was at 07:42 AM ----------
same answer , clear out all the cache , thats a main reason for most of the problems mentioned here .
clear out the cache , data , and try reseting the phone ..
if nothing works flash the ROM again, immediately after flashing wipe all the caches from the Recovery itself.
This usually 90% of the time works .

Bugs after installation of the new ota update
1>>>>the phone initially starts to lag a lot and even every app tries to behave diferently
2>>>the set gets a lot of heated
3>>>the dialer starts to be uninteractive to toches
4>>>there is a lot of battery drain during the network data usage as well as on wifi
5>>>after factory reseting through the cm recovery the issue was solved for some time and the ui became much responsive but after spendi g some time it tried to retain some of it's previous bugs..

This did not work. I have installed the rom three times and have wiped the cache from the recovery along with the dalvik cache too. Even that does not help.

How to check whether it's 64 bit or 32 bit?
The phone is lagging like hell BTW.

1. somtimes it happens after fresh install.. it should not come back after the initial use.. do you still have the same issue ???
2. thats kind of a common complaint...hopefully they are fixing it..i see that in YU forums also..
3. Yes I also have some ghost touches esp in the dialer... but it has reduced for me ..now it comes once in a day or none at all...
4.Battery drain may be multiple apps running on the background , all taking the background data , I am using data as well as wifi with calls too..
i dont face that much of drain issue ..
Use Advanced task manager , if you are not using G+ , clean manager , and other useless background running apps (even chrome) put in regular kill and increase the frequency. This hopefully will help
5. can you tell me which bugs have come back .. ??

See whats the background apps running. I found G+ , chrome , google app etc running even when i never opened the G+ or chrome.
use autokill so that the battery drain is lessened

yes..it takes time for the cache to rebuild since everything will be wiped when flashing new ROM

HELP! Final Nougat pooched my phone!

I was on the Nougat beta, and I just updated to the new non-beta G930PVPU4BQAA.
Now my phone reboots itself after a minute or less of use. I can get as far as my home screen, but soon after it just restarts.
I tried safe mode, but same thing.
It might be because I had disable some apps with Package Disable, and forgot to re-enable them and/or disable admin on that app ... I seem to remember reading this might cause issues. I also have My Knox installed, if that makes a difference.
I also had some theme installed.
Any way to fix, or do I have to factory reset?

Try booting recovery and clearing cache

Why does music playback glitch out when turning off the screen?

Every time I turn off the screen while music is playing , there is a short (<1s) glitch/skip/interruption in playback.
I've had this happen on both stock kernel and Veno's kernels which I am currently using, so I think we can safely assume it's not ralated to the kernel.
I tried all the usual like cache/dalvik wipe, cold booting, setting Google Music as a system app, using it as a user app and adding it the the list of protected app in Huawei's power manager, even a factory reset but nothing fixes this.
One weird thing is that for a while, this behavior stopped by itself for a few days only to come back a few days later.
Running stock b170, Meticulus TWRP, Magisk rooted, systemless Xposed, Viper4Android (via Magisk, as a system app)
Any ideas? It's bugging me like crazy.

It's from the audio drivers.

Ok, and is there a fix?

All of the sudden and without me doing anything at all, music playback no longer skips when turning off the screen. What the.
Later edit: the glitch is back.

Just a small shameless bump.

I have the same problem.

Setting my music app to not close in the close battery when locked setting under battery. That I have already tried but it's not working. My music still cuts off when I lock my phone. The widget sometimes disappear from the lock screen too.

my phone is rooted and was wondering if any app out there could prevent this annoying problem from happening...

Have you tried another music player?

Still no dark mode in gmail after Android 10 update

Unlocked S10+ received Android 10 update on Dec 25th and almost a week later, no dark mode available in gmail app.
All other google apps have dark mode, s10 set to dark theme.
Have rebooted, force stopped, cleared cache and data, cleared device cache in recovery, enabled force dark mode in developer options, loaded apkmirror latest version, uninstalled update. Nothing adding the theme selection option general settings.
Anyone else have this issue? According to Google all Android 10 devices should have gmail dark mode now.

As a temporary solution you can enable "force Dark Mode" in the Developer settings.

Hm, strange. Try to wipe the cache in the recovery.

Yup, also tried that, no change.

Try the newest version from apkmirror:
https://www.apkmirror.com/apk/googl...644823-release-android-apk-download/download/
The PlayStore is sometimes strange, because it doesn't offer the latest version.

Thanks for all the suggestions. Tried that as well, I'm running that version, Dec 4th release.

Dec 4th? The latest is Nov 21st.
Do you have this setting in the Options?

Yes, same version. Build date is 11.21, but play store shows dec 4th date.
I do not have that option, no theme option.

It is a bit strange, but when I install the Version from APKmirror, it works. I'm showing it in the Video:

My last solution would be to uninstall the Gmail-App via ADB and then reinstall the Version from APKmirror.
But I'm not sure if this is possible, because ADB deletes the App for the current user but it keeps the file in the /system-app folder.
In the worst case, you have to factory reset the phone to use gmail again.
There is also a tutorial on XDA: https://www.xda-developers.com/uninstall-carrier-oem-bloatware-without-root-access/

Try Clear cache and clear data from the app. This worked for me.

I may wait a few weeks. I'm wondering if this is a google server side issue not recognizing my phone is recently upgraded to android 10. Factory resetting for dark gmail is a tall order.

I've tried that already. But may try again.

Disable system wide dark mode and then check your Gmail app you should see the setting. It worked for me

Thanks. I deleted some gmail accounts (had several in my gmail app), cleared cache, force stopped, trigger dark mode systemwide off and on, and now it is working.
