I started using the cm7 nightly's today & i'm getting different answers on which to wipe between nightly's. Cache AND Dalvick or just one of them? Some ppl are saying u only have to wipe cache, i've seen just Dalvick & i've seen both. I'd asssume both but don't want to go thru an extra step if it's unnecessary. Thanks alot guys

It really depends on what changed in the nightly. It never hurts to wipe both, but it is usually the case that the system is smart enough to just rebuild odexes for the things that have changed therefore, I'd just go with the cache. I rarely wipe anything between CM7 flashes even many builds apart, but I live on the edge.

I've never used ROM manager so I can't say, but that sounds like the way to go.
I've had bad luck w/ Rom Mgr soft-bricking my phone. I prefer CWM.
Ok, thanks alot guys! I just wanted to make sure & yea, rom manager just doesn't feel as comfortable to me as doing it manually where can see what's going on & abort & restore if i can see something not going right. Mainly i just wanted to know if it was ok to download the rom from rom manager & then do it manually from there. Thanks again fellas :')

Hey I was just browsing the market and decided to invest in Rom manager (used it religiously on my old Droid 1). Lo and behold we don't even have a cwm listed!
What needs to be done to have some of these roms I see on this board listed in that App?
Thanks and sorry for the noob question. (We need a Q and A board.)

You would want to check all 3 if it is your first flash, that way if something goes wrong you have a backup to restore, and the other two need to check because they are cache for your original rom, not the new one.
It's worth doing the backup of your stock setup.
Wiping the data isn't necessary unless you are a stickler about starting "fresh".
Dalvik cache wipe never hurts.

If you are coming from stock, you need to wipe all. It can cause issues, i have seen it. You get lots of force close, stuff that is removed from stock would still be there, which could also cause problems. Its better to do a full wipe when going from stock to a custom rom, and when switching custom roms.
I think I made a mistake, it reboot into recovery and I guess I was to wipe data and cache then reboot into cyanogen rom, but I did not wipe data and cache, Now it froze on me. What can I do, Did I just brick my phone?
Hi all, just curious if anyone has used both Rev HD & Virtuous Unity custom ROMS & has any feedback or a preference between the 2 before i do a full wipe once again just to immediately wipe again to go back to Virt. Unity. V.U is my fav by far but Rev HD sounds so stable & fast I'm gettin the itch to stray from my V.U. Just gotta have Sense 3.0. Thanks so much guys :')

With the beta they're using a new base, so a full wipe is required. They're asking that you stick with the stock kernel during beta phase so they can track bugs a little better. I'm currently using 12.56.60.25x_26.10.04.03_M with the .0153 radio and getting awesome speeds and quick GPS locks

Well if you backed up first it won't be too difficult. Pull your battery, then put the battery back in and boot to HBoot (Vol+ and PWR), choose Recovery, choose backup and restore, and restore to your backup.
Or make sure you do a full wipe (Factory reset, wipe data, wipe system, wipe cache, wipe dalvik cache) and try flashing the ROM again (but if it's a bad download you'll probably just bootloop again)
Or if you don't have a backup and the ROM still isn't working, then you need to get a different ROM on your SD. You can do this by putting the SD in a card reader, or booting to recovery, going to mounts/storage, and choose Mount USB Storage. Your computer will recognize it, put your ROM on the SD, select "Unmount" from recovery, now flash the new ROM
If you happen to have a PD98IMG.zip on your SD you're gonna need to get that off before any of this will work though, cause Bootloader will just continually try to flash that. Easiest way to do that is pull the SD until you select Recovery from HBoot, then reinsert the SD. Or else you'll need to get a card reader or another device that will read your SD, delete the PD98IMG.zip, reinsert the SD to your device, boot to recovery, flash away
Thanks for all the input. I did have that file so i pulled the card so i could get back into recovery & did a nandroid restore & deleted it. It wad a bad download too. So i downloaded it again from a different link & it came in 2 zips, one 390mb & the other like 10mg so i did a full wipe again & when i flashed it said cant read sd again & failed. Both zips. So restored again & here i am running great but w/o beta. Any suggesions?

Check my last post in your boot loop thread. I replied to you there about the correct download link.
I am running on kj6 asop style Rom. I have flashed universal shot 12 and asop add on. But i can't get the smoothness. Its choppy while scrolling.
Any idea why?
Sent from my SGH-T959V using XDA Premium App
I would suggest first calling it AOSP like its called, not asop. LOL
Then it seems like you haven't wiped data in a while after many rom changes. Wipe data/factory reset. Reflash the rom, and don't flash any addons like icbinb airfluip addon and adrenaline shot. See how it works. If you like it, then stick with it.
Yea i am gonna do that. It was great before i flash the addons. And sorry about the mess up with name lol

Before you reflash anything, try wiping your dalvik cache and let it rebuild. Reboot into CWM > advanced > wipe dalvik cache > reboot phone.
DO NOT touch your phone for the next 10-15 minutes. Let the dalvik cache rebuild.
That might fix your phone's choppiness.

i did this on my infuse gingerbread (rooted) and once downloaded i cannot finish the setup process because email process force close's as soon as its time to use my email. what should i do?
Be sure that you follow the 4 main steps before you flash any ROM or PORT for a good flash:
On CWM (Recovery Mode screen blue or red)
1. Wipe data/factory reset
2. Wipe Cache partition
3. Advanced>Clean dalvik cache
After this steps flash your rom then:
4. Advanced/Fix Permisions.
It works for me all times.
Regards,
How will I flash then if I remove all my data including root. Everything I wipe to factory it goes back to froyo non root. Do I keep recovery for the flashing somehow? And during the whole setup like connecting to Wi-Fi it's clean works goods no lag then email force closes there has to be a reason other than me not wiping to factory.. isn't that the point of these kind of apps.. why download it if I'm gonna spend the next 4hrs trying figure out.... I'm just gonna stop here with root. The rest of it is way!!!!!!! To much lol. You guys have at it tho!!

Why are you using Rom manager? I've only heard of bricks and problems from people using it...just download a Rom you want from xda, then boot into cwm and flash from cwm recovery by following instructions from the roms thread on xda
You may also just wanna try going back to stock through Odin/heimdal to fix your email problems if you don't wanna flash a Rom
Also what is the ics download your referring to? There are multiple ice roms/ports...you need to be as specific as possible on anything and everything...I always say better more than not enough
Also...just to clarify when you are in cwm and you wipe data/factory resetit only wipes your apps and system data...recovery is in the kernel which is not wiped...so if you follow the instructions of the roms op and do all the wipes then you can still flash
Good luck hope you get it all fixed
PS...bigjoe knows what he's doing as do a lot of us here...I don't think most of us,are gonna get confused and quit...as for me I love solving problems and trouble shooting so I know I won't quit

But yeah download a Rom from this site and assuming you have cwm recovery boot into it (hold power plus volume up+down, as soon as it turns off and the Samsung logo pops up release the buttons) then wipe data/factory reset, wipe cache, wipe dalvic cache, then install from sdcard, locate Rom and flash it.
