just a quick question, do you have to wipe your phone (alt+w) everytime theres a new rom update? for example if going from JF ADP 1.5 to JF ADP 1.6, do you need to wipe phone before applying the 1.6 update? or is it only necessary to wipe if your going from different roms for example JF to Haykuro..etc..etc
thanks
anyone have an answer to my question?
I'm curious as well. The impression is that you do not as long as you've wiped when you originally rooted.
I'm sure the safe answer is yes, you should wipe but that's a pain in the a**.
You should wipe IMO.
If you don't wipe and run into esoteric issues most likely you will be asked to do so anyways as it is the only useful troubleshooting tool most of these people have because
1.They don't know any better (no ones fault)
2.They don't have time take a look at your debug logs and then instruct you through some most likely intermediate-advanced commands to fix the issue.
Say you moved into an apartment and it's filled with the last occupants stuff. There's a blood stained sofa, stacks of magazine around the WHOLE apartment and a dirty toothbrush. Are you going to be comfortable sitting on that sofa? Would those magazines get annoying? Would you brush your teeth with the dirty toothbrush?
If you have to walk 10 miles, do you wear your own shoes or the last runner's leather shoes that are two sizes too small? If you can even get the shoes on you, you're gonna be in pain and give up within the first mile.
^_^
My answer is: Always wipe. Let the new OS use his own shoes.
ok i understand where you guys are coming from, but what if its only a small update to say JF ADP 1.6, and you are on JF ADP 1.5, it wouldn't make sense to do a wipe just for a small update. am i wrong here. now if ur going from JF to Haykuro then a wipe is definitely necessary. I read somewhere before, that mentioned you didn't have to wipe if you were staying within the same rom. i guess i just need a better understanding on this.
See the quote in my signature
hahaha! ok so I guess I will wipe before applying any new updates. what about the JFupdater app, it says it applys any updates, i dont believe the app wipes your phone before applying it, so is it best not to use the jfupdater when flashing an update?

My suggestion is generally this: Try it without a wipe. If it works, then great, you keep all your stuff the way you had it. If you run into issues that seem blaringly obvious(home process crashing, many force closes, boot looping, etc) then go back to the recovery image and do a wipe. There aren't any problems I know of caused by not wiping that can't be solved by going back and doing it after the fact.

thanks! thats exactly what i was thinking but wanted to be sure.
now wiping wouldn't mess up any links to the sd card(apps2sd) correct? wiping basically justs wipes the data from the phone....i guess what i mean is would I have to set up apps2sd again?
i'm with marcus, if you can get away with not wiping great, if not oh well wipe. or you could perform a nandroid bakup and then wipe, then after the update just fastboot flash your data.img

You would only need to restore the symlinks (if that's the method you were using).
Hey guys,
I'm running the Octane ROM on my SGS4G, and suddenly both my home and search touch keys stopped functioning. However, they ARE triggering haptic feedback (a vibration in the phone when pressed)
Does anyone know what causes this and what's a common trouble shooting route?
I updated my binary in super user and updated busybox...nothing changed.
Also, I don't know if this is related to the problem but it happened at the same time: text msg notifications are permanently as if the phone is on silent; no sound or vibration. Just a status bar icon.
Thanks in advance to anyone who can help, this phone is my only daily.

Have you rebooted the phone? If so, I'd suggest doing a backup then performing a factory data reset.
Yea I rebooted several times..
could I just wipe the dalvik?
If I only do that, what information is lost on my phone?
Also the update from busy box said it might require I do a package reinstall "without" a factory wipe for the update to take effect... Any suggestions on that?

You could always try wiping caches first. No data loss that way. The Davlik cache will rebuild itself over time.
I'm nto sure about BusyBox, though. Maybe someone else has an idea?
What about the cache partition?
I guess my question is, what exactly are you wiping when you wipe the dalvik and when you wipe the cache partition?
and is it a safe practice for when strange problems like this arise?
Just wiping the cache.completely safe and the first thing to try after a reboot.also I would suggest fixing permissions when clearing the cache

But thank you for going into more detail about it Somairotevoli.
where is it i fix permissions? In super user you mean?
And i just finished doing a full wipe =/
fixed the problem...but just sucks. Im glad i removed the SD card before hand, I think it tried to format it.
Does a factory wipe touch any SD files?

Fix permissions in the advanced option of cwm
And no factory reset does not wipe sd unless you tell it to when you're doing it from your settings menu

ah, gotcha.
Wish I woulda have tried that before wiping.
Another question: After the wipe, I lost all the fonts that were originally there after I first installed Octaine ROM.
I'm thinking I should just reinstall the package, but I'm afraid I cant remember if I had to disable VOODOO lagfix first and whether or not i still have to change the mounting points before i reinstall the rom..

Glad you got it working though sucks you had to wipe everything. To be safe I would disable voodoo though I do not know if it's necessary. Definitely go into CWM and re-check the mounts first before flashing.
Well, unfortunately, after a full wipe... everything worked fine for one day... then suddenly the phone froze and restarted. After reboot, some apps had the android image on their icon and ALL OVER my wallpaper was a skull and cross bones image...cascaded in rows and columns all over the background..
and ofcourse.. my home and search buttons are non-functional once again...
What does this mean??

I'm running the Octane rom too, and have started having problems with all four buttons, but mainly the outside settings and search ones. Other roms do the same for me now, so I don't think it's the problem. I have fully wiped, reformatted, fixed permissions, you name it.
It dosen't seem to matter what happens, they still resist working properly. So are you saying that doing a wipe/reinstall/permission fix did it for you? I can't tell if it's a physical thing or a software thing, but I'm leaning more toward software.

You should probably re download your desired rom, do a full wipe (data, cache, and dalvik) and re flash. this sucks but should work. Did you by chance ever flash a kf series 2.3.3 ROM?

After the wipe did you install a new ROM or stay on Octane? Maybe try wiping & install Raver's KJ6 stock via Odin or CWM. Run stock for a few days and see if the problems persist.

lol I have read that a few times already, looks like you guys are all right!!!
I just flashed mine for the first time a couple days ago as well. And i know just enough to be dangerous. I'm still not sure about the backup process and what each one does.
What does Nandroid Backup do? When should it be done? And when can it be skipped?
What does Titanium Backup do? When should it be done? And when can it be skipped?
For instance, there's a minor update to the ARHD 3.6.9 -> 3.6.10. When i flash this, i assume i should make a Nandroid backup. What about Titanium? What will happen to all my installed apps? Will they be wiped out?
If i install a different ROM all together and don't like it, can i just pull out the Nandroid backup and go back to where i was with the old ROM and all apps still installed?
Also what does Super Wipe do? Does it delete my apps/app data?

Well I wish I could help you but I am not sure if I have all the right answers to your questions, like I said I just flashed my first rom last night and i have not restored anything yet.
Now I understand that a nandroid backup should be done before you flash a new rom if you want to restore that same rom at a later time, for example I did a nadroid backup of my stock rom but if I flash another rom I wont do a nandroid of this miui rom.
I did a titanium back of a few saved games but I have not restored anything yet.
Regarding ARHD rom I can't really tell you anything, maybe someone will help you faster if you post in their rom thread.
SuperWipe from what I have read wipes all your data, cache, dalvik with just one click instead of going one by one but in the end it will make the same effect if you wipe data, cache, dalvik one by one.
Lets wait if someone chimes in and correct me so we both can learn more
A nandroid backup is a bit for bit copy of your current Android set up. It'll back up your rom, applications, application data like text messages, playlists, bookmarks. Everything. If you ever want to go back to it, just restore the backup and you'll be up and running in 3 to 5 minutes.
Titanium backup lets you back up individual applications to be restored at a later time. For example, if I download Opera Mobile and set up all my speed dial bookmarks, I'll perform a titanium back up of the application so that if I change roms at a later time, I can restore the back up of Opera Mobile and not have to re-set anything up.
Hope this clears the air. Neither of which have to be done, mind you, but they are incredibly convenient.
A nandroid backup should be done always before flashing a new rom. even if your updating a rom you should still do a nandroid backup just in case something goes wrong. Sometimes devs forget something in updates and it could mess up your set up so always backup for safe keeping.
Thank you both for clarifying it for us

You may notice diminishing battery life with rom flashes. If this is the case, download Battery Calibration from the market. Charge your phone up to 100% and fire this application up. It'll likely ask for root access upon being started (but it might not). Once you're at 100%, click the giant Battery Calibration button. It may ask for root access a second time, just grant it access and it'll wipe the battery stats file. Then, fully discharge the phone (or atleast within 2 to 5%) and charge it back up to 100%. You should notice an immediate improvement in battery life.

Ok so I have Vahalla Final flashed through Odin as my first ROM on this phone. Everything has been great for a few days and I flashed the lighting tweak today with no issues. Just a little while ago I made a backup and flashed the Linda voices and the Ki3 modem bc I saw where the KJ6 didn't allow long text messages. When I flashed the modem some blue words popped up really zoomed in on another screen then it was done. The phone was laggy so i tried to delete everything and restore like I had done numerous times on old phone.
I did a factory reset then cache then tried to format system. These are all steps i used to successfully take on other phone. It won't let me format the system though. Says: "format_volume failed to mount "/system" error formatting system!"
Where did I go wrong? Am I supposed to do some more wacky things on this phone for a restore? Everything else on it seems to take 20 more steps

CWM versions prior to those in bhndven's Slightly Modified Stock kernels have a problem with mounting/unmouting the /system partition in GB. I believe you can backup and restore user data, but nothing on the /system partition.
Flashing the KI3 modem shouldn't have had an effect like you're describing, though. I can't say I've had an issue like that at all or heard of people having that issue after flashing the modem.

How the hell do i know which modem to use anyways? There's like 10 to choose from
Uh yeah I forget it tries to format system anyways when restoring... and it couldn't. So what do i do? Re-flash the GB starter pack way through Odin?

Hey I still have an issue. I reflashed Vahalla through CWM and it was fine at first all the way through setting everything up like it was before. Ran smooth. I went to the market this morning and checked for updates and Google Search, Maps and Superuser updated. Phone started acting really laggy again. Scrolls really slow, pulls up GO Launcher menu slowly, etc.
It seems to me that the re flash installed over the existing data that was left on the phone since i couldn't format my system.
My new question is, what's the best way to re do everything including formatting the system if I can't format through CWM? If I flash through Odin does that format everything? Or am I better of just going through the whole GB Starter Pack process again?? Or will that even work now since i've already done it?

If you flashed and "it was fine at first all the way through setting everything up"...
try reflashing as you did before. Do fresh installs on as much as you can ONE AT A TIME. And then restore ONE AT A TIME what you can't do fresh installs on. It sounds like one of your backups is not agreeing with the system. Install/Restore ONE AT A TIME and play with phone between each to see if you can determine which backup your system is not agreeing with.
Did that make sense??
EDIT: And make sure to wipe dalvik cache and cache partition before you reflash as is always recommended.

I have never formatted my system nor read anybody wanting/needing to format their system. A factory reset is what people use to clean the gremlins along with wiping dalvik cache and cache partition. Bhundven has recommended flashing the same rom twice in a row I believe to help make sure all installs correctly (I think he was talking about bootloaders when he recommended that).
But a factory reset is what I think you are trying to accomplish with formatting your system.

I use GoLauncher on Vahalla Black with no problems. I think it has to do with your backup... not the app itself.
I wiped caches, did factory reset, tired to format system again with no luck and accidentally restarted before re-flashing Vahalla. Which, I guess I didn't really need to do anyways if it's an App causing the issue. I guess the factory reset would be enough. Smooth again so i will try some fresh reinstalls now.

Ok cool. In another phones forum a system wipe is actually suggested a lot. I think... I did it every time on the G2x before installing any new roms or backups. I wasn't doing it at first but started after someone suggested it. But yeah I think the factoy reset is enough. Seems to be enough so far.

I am a noob too. No worries. Vahalla Black is solid. Backups are tricky. Fresh installs are the way to go.
I've been trying to fix this problem for 2 days now, I tried installing back to stock, reroot and unlocked. I slapped Cleanrom on and it hasn't fixed the issue. I was hoping if the problem could possibly be fixed, or if its a hardware issue i want to know what steps i can take to deal with it. As of right now i cant make any calls without it foreclosing on me.
Thanks
Weird. Tried clearing cache? Did you have this problem when u first got the phone? When did all start?
It was 2 days ago. I tried almost everything, but still a no go. I have pmed some people who have experienced it in the past, but their on 2.20 now, so i might consider it if its going to fix the issue. I rather not though
I'm getting that same problem too, also i can't properly add phone numbers to my phone or sim. This is getting frustrating, hopefully someone can elaborate on this..
Do you have any accounts syncing? Maybe if you delete all the accounts that sync contacts? Maybe try it without a SIM card in?
If you are using CWM and flashed CleanROM (and maybe other ROMs), then that is why you are having this issue. Its a known issue, and it clearly says in the CleanROM top post to not use CWM, and to use TWRP.
Also, this is a double post. Somebody posted a fix in your other thread. Go look at it. Now see why double posts are confusing and annoying?
solution
It happened to me too and now I have a solution.it happened to me when I installed a rom(don't want to mention the name).ok do this
Root ur phone unlock bootloader and install cwm not twrp.now clear cache,data,system everything and install any rom(even stock)using TARP(dont forget to clear everything in twrp also).
It worked seriously for me and believe me.if I helped u please hit thanks button

Root ur phone unlock bootloader and install cwm not twrp.now clear cache,data,system everything and install any rom(even stock)using TARP(dont forget to clear everything in twrp also).

I tried this method, installed CWR over TWRP and installed cleanrom 4.5, then my phone would reboot continuously. Did you experience this?
Are u guys doing FULL wipes as stated above?? Do a full wipe, cache, dalvik, system, factory reset/data. Flash a rom and dont restore anything. Just boot it up and see. Im fairly certain it wont mess up after that.
Did you flash KingCobra then started having this issue? I have the same problem as well right now, there is a FC.zip fix he's made that you can flash but I'm getting an error right now. Its a awesome rom tho!
as i mentioned you need to clear data,cache,system.. in cwm then switch to twrp and install a rom.installing cr4.5 or any latest roms in cwm will cause bootloop
