So I went into the recovery console and selected the complete data wipe option. I then reinstalled fresh 1.1 and rebooted.
Then I signed into the phone like I knew I would have to, however after logging in, all my apps are still here!
Google voice recorder is still force closing on me and all the setings have reset.
I thought wiping the data would remove all the apps?
I'm trying to fix the voice recorder crash. I've removed it and reinstalled to no evail.
All of your apps are there because you are using Apps2SD, you'll need to format your SD card agan to get rid of them all.
I don't think I'm using Apps2SD?
I had a stock Sprint Hero, had it for several months, a couple weeks ago I rooted with Fresh Kitchen and installed 1.1. I never moved my apps or did any formating to the SD card.
Now I'm trying to wipe the data and reinstall.
Was Apps2SD installed automatically with Fresh1.1, and my apps moved and my SD Card formmated appropriately without losing my MP3's and audiobooks?
It just doesn't make sense...
Try erasing your SD Card
Backup first ..just in case
Apps2SD is done automatically if your SD card is formated with an EXT partition.
Your SD could have 3 partitions, they wouldn't be formated automatically, you would have to format it from recovery. Apps will be on a different partition than Music/books.
So if it was already partitioned then it would move them over automatically.
It might have been partitioned from when I had my G1.
I can format the extention though, and that will clear the EXT partition right?
I think I'll give that a shot then..

When you do the partition, just put Swap and EXT to 0 mb. This will make whole card FAT again.
Also I think you will have to clear your Delvic and do Data wipe again after you do this because all of the cached apps won't be there any more.
You could also drop it in the loo, that would wipe everything
Seriously though, just erase your SD card or copy its contents to your desktop and try again. Should be good.
Plz help guys: i've got an inspire 4g & was using the 8g card provided with the device but bought i 16g. I don't have my laptop now so i had to save a few files to internal sd, pop the 16g & copy the files to the card, put the 8g back in, copied some more & did it all again. W/O a cpu i didn't know how else to do it. I used CM7, Absolution, MIUI, VU & never formatted or partitioned my card but i want to on this 16g card, i want ext4 but have no clue how to go about it. Should i have done that before i copied all my data from my 8g to 16? Can someone plz do me the favor of helping me out and/or explain what fomatting does & how tr partition. I will transfer my data the slow way again using root explorer if i have to, i just want ext 4 or is it really necessary? Alot of ROMS are going to it even tho it's a little overkill for a phone. Thanks for any help friends :']

geez thats dedication lol! As for going to EXT4, I don't believe it's necessary for all roms, many support both EXT4 and EXT3. I know it used to be a widely covered thing in the changelogs and OPs of ROM threads but lately they've been vanishing. This next bit you must understand is typically what I do before flashing a ROM and I don't believe it touches anything on your SD card but just be cautious if you have anything you really need on the SD card when doing this. I know ARHD's superwipe (found in the ARHD thread) will format everything to EXT4. There is also a full wipe 1.5 (search full wipe 1.5 and you should find the thread) that also formats you to EXT4..Again, be aware this will wipe your phone, I don't think your SD card but will wipe phone and require the flashing of a ROM afterwards. There is probably an easier way to do it but like I said I use the full wipe 1.5 before full wiping and flashing a new rom so my stuff is always EXT 4. hope that helps!
Thank u so much so using the superwipe 1.5 i shouldn't lose anything on my sd card? And i've got a good backup of my ROM if it does wipe my phone so i can just restore my backup, right? But i've also read that partitioning will wipe the sd, is that correct? I've got a junk 1g card i'm tempted to test it out on so i can see what happens in the process. Thank u buddy
Ok, so if do i have to do anything to go to ext4 or will i automatically be using ext4 file system if the ROM I'm flashing is ext4?

The 1.5 full wipe will wipe the entire phone, it's not the end all wipe you should use when full wiping but it will give you the EXT4 formatting that you want. I use the 1.5 full wipe then I wipe data, cache, dalvik cache and battery stats before I flash a new rom. In principle, yeah everything on your SD card should be safe since I typically delete everything but my photos and back-ups off my SD card before wiping and it's all there afterwards so you should be safe in that regard. I don't goof around with partitions though so someone else who is more comfortable it going to have to chime in here.
I've been trying to load custom ROMs on my galaxy mini (GT-S5570) unsuccessfully for three days now. Every single custom ROM I try gets stuck on boot, with only the "android" characters on screen. Two cyanogen ROMs I tried display the cyanogen logo for a split second, then back to the "android" screen.
I'm using CWM 5.0.2.6. I've tried both gingerbread stock ROMs from samsdroid.com (Europe section). Both work perfectly (flashed from odin)
I've cleared data,cache,dalvik before and after each update.zip. Also, the boot really is stuck, I've been waiting 15 to 30 minutes on each.
Everything similar I got so far on various forums was pertaining to not clearing the user data...
Something that may be related: every time after I load a custom ROM, I can no longer use CWM to restore a backup - boot restores, system restores partially until CWM finally spits "Error while restoring /system". However, I have no trouble restoring the same backup after flashing a stock ROM. Looking up the error, I've read something about ext4 partitions, but it was not very detailed, so I'm unsure if it has anything to do with that.
Any pointers seriously appreciated
help, anyone?

4. Never Wipe Data unless youre still flashing updates.zips!! Wiping cache is necesary! But never wipe data please aslong your are flashing packages which are bounded to the rom.
Hope i could help you.

Thanks for your help, Ropb.
Unfortunately, my CWM has no "advanced/format" option. Under the advanced menu, I have the following: "reboot recovery", "wipe dalvik cache", "wipe battery stats", "report error", "key test", "show log", "partition sd card", "fix permissions".
Following you description, here's what I tried:
1- Flash stock rom
2- install CWM
3- Wipe cache (using "wipe cache") ONLY
4- apply cyanogen ROM zip
It still get stucks on android...
Did I understand something wrong, or should I get a CWM version with the advanced format?
Sorry bro,
what i meant was in the section "mount and storage" or something,
there you can finde mount this mount that.
at the bottom u will find : Format this format that.
Make sure, your external SDCARD is out of the device before you format all parts.
Try it, and let me know.
Regards
Tried the manual format for data, cache and sd-ex, and combinations of those, still no luck... pretty much a dead end. I think I'll just use the stock ROM, as much as it saddens me not being able to tweak the interface
Thank you for your help, Ropb

actually even i m facing the same prob.but try booting without sim it will i think..but i dnt noe how to get it working witha sim on
maybe this procedure will fix problems
Recently i have decided to change roms due to slight stability issues (i need a more stable rom for medical reasons), i decided to opt for JediX14, it looks nice, seems to have everything i would like in a rom and from what reviews ive read, seems like a near perfect rom.
However, I have tried repeatedly to install this Rom, using both Team Win and the Clockwork Mod Recoveries. Every time i install the rom, regardless of wether i select to switch the internal memory and SD card or not. When i check the storage, internal memory is always 0.00B
I'm currently working my way through the (nearly 700 pages) of replies from the JediX14 thread.
Using the search option, i've only found solutions for other mobiles.
My SD Card is currently FAT32, 32GB
Here are my exact steps i take, im typing this as i flash again, so i don't miss any important information, right now:
Reboot into recovery.
Factory Reset.
Wipe Internal Storage.
Wipe System.
Wipe Dalvik Cache.
Wipe Cache.
Install JediX14_Full.zip from SD card.
Wipe Dalvik Cache (again).
Fix Permissions.
Boot and leave for quater of an hour or so...
Re-boot.
If i run a restore via TWRP, my internal memory shows as normal (a little over 10 GB free).
How can i fix this?
Any help is very much appreciated, thanks in advance, again, thank you!.
Try to format it from the settings.

Hi there have a i have a sloution look at my video on youtube my channel is namz123uk i have 2 videos check both like comment n subscribe
I have been flashing and playing different roms for awhile now but I have noticed that my phone is running out of space so quickly these days. The internal sd card is full and my external sd card has a little space but that's it, and the phone won't do updates or new downloads due to the internal card being full.
I was wondering, I want to go back to using CM10 again on this Blaze with the latest gapps, but I want to wipe EVERYTHING and start fresh, I have backed things using wondershares mobilego (as well as a manual backup of both sd cards, internal and external).
Can someone give me a good medthod on wiping it all, system, cache, dalvik, internal sd card and external sd card and doing a fresh install of cm10 and gapps.
Thanks in advance
Download the latest cm10 nightly and 4.1.2 gapps from the official cm10 thread to your external SD card.
Boot to cwm and go to mounts, and format:
System
Data
Cache
Emmc
Do all of them several times.
Go to advanced and wipe davlik cache a couple times too.
Then install the cm10 zip followed by the gapps. Wipe cache and davlik one more time. You can format the external SD card any time later, after you verify boot (suggested). You can use a PC or the built in format under settings/storage.

Wouldn't I also need to do format /sdcard several times as well to format the internal sd and then after I am all done I can do the format /sd-ext to format the external sd card? Which if I format the sd-ext it won't hurt anything I did for the install of CM and gapps right?
By the way, thanks for your help I appreciate it
You can format the external a couple times. Sometimes things get left behind, that's why in suggested the multiple wipes. You don't have to worry about SD ext, the partition will get wiped when the external SD card is formated. If you didn't create the partition there's nothing to worry about. I wouldn't format the emmc (internal SD card) after installing a rom as some of it is used.

Thanks again, I did as stated above then booted up, made sure all worked fine then went back into cwm and formatted the sd card (not the sd-ext). I am now putting some music and photos back on the sd card so I have them with me. Latest CM10 Nightly from the 4th seems to freeze a little bit when trying to do things on my Blaze, maybe I just need to reboot it again after I move the stuff over.
Thanks again!
Give it a a little while to settle. If it is still giving you issues try the previous nightly from 7/28.

Part of the internal storage is cached at /cache. It caches a bunch of things, such as mount points and app usage. When you wipe cache and start over, expect things to be slower for a couple days/reboots. Then it'll settle, as was said above
Good tips Romman0. I try to do this every 4 months or so. Blackhole and FSC only make it better, but that's clearing leftovers and realigning empty blocks and messing with the filesystem and a lot of technical junk
