[Q] Full wipe with dalvik cache etc. on Stock Rom

Hi,
if the upgrade to ICS is available i want to do a full wipe with factory reset before.
How is the best way and in which order is best to do a full system cleansing with stock rom 2.3.6 installed.
First deletion of SD Card an than over the recovery menu resetting the rest?

I'm no expert but why would you delete the sdcard?
Root, install CWM recovery via rom manager. Select if you have 4g or not.
load rom onto root of the sdcard
Wipe data/factory reset
Wipe cache
Wipe dalvik cache
Flash rom
If you want to install a custom kernel instead of the one that comes with your rom of choice
After you flash the rom
Go back and rewipe dalvik
Then flash kernel
Reboot and enjoy

There's no point in wiping the dalvik twice, and instead of wiping the dalvik in CWM I'd use dalvik-wiper.zip by Morfic. Flashable zip, and it actually wipes the dalvik.
The rest is all good to the best of my knowledge.

Full wipe with GB stock rom before upgrade to ICS
Hi,
@polobunny
on the SD memory are two folders named .android_secure and Android where Android specific things are stored in. I have read that for a new and clean system build up would be good to delete this folders before.
@sookieball
I have only the normal stock rom 2.3.6 with stock recovery (no CWM) and want to stay there.
So then I think the best way is to go over the menu and do a reset to the factory settings. Delete the to folders on the SD memory manually and afterwards I will go into the recovery menu and delete the dalvik cache and then apply the ICS update.
Why i want to to this? I have at the moment a lot of useless Apps installed and i want to refresh all and start with a clean system with upgrading to ICS. Thats all.

Wherever you read that you should stop reading there.

If you've installed a custom ROM before it's just like doing that again.
If you haven't, you should read through this page which links to everything you need to know how to do so:http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1209341

Grab the nightly zip and gapps zip
put on desired location (internal or sd card)
wipe data/factory reset
wipe dalvik cache
install nightly then install gapps
And reboot.
If you're upgrading from another nightly -
If all you're upgrading is the rom and the gapps stays the same just wipe dalvik cache and install the new nightly, and then install the gapps. No need to do a data or factory reset unless specified.
If they say otherwise or a new gapps version is posted backup all of your stuff again, then do a factory reset, wipe dalvik cache, install the rom, install the new gapps, and you're good to go.

Try copying the Rom zip file to internal. TWRP is buggy and you could have a corrupted download as well of course. You can also push the zip to sdcard by using the adb push command.

[Q] Noob Q: How to clean flash Gapps?

Hey guys!
I'm currently running latest version of CrDroid ROM and latest version of Gapps. Unfortunately, for whatever reason some apps on it just like to crash repeatedly (main culprit is Snapchat and Google Contact Sync). I was told I should do a clean flash of my Gapps then reinstall it and it should fix it but I think all I've been doing is a dirty flash of it...? All I've been doing is going to TWRP > Wipe > Wipe Date, Cache, Dalvik > Then I reinstall Gapps.
That's not a clean flash is it....? DO I need to root my OPO to clean flash anything?
Thanks for the help :I

Clean flash of Gapps ? You mean clean flash of the whole ROM
Go to TWRP and wipe system, data, cache, dalvik without internal storage to preserve your installation .zips
Then flash the ROM, Gapps and reboot to system :good:

Rom change!

Hello people, I play with the thought of changing my Rom from RR to Arowos!
Is there anything to pay attention to the encryption of RR or the transition from A10 to A11, or it's the normal procedure:
Boot to Recovery -> Wipe Dalvik, Cache and Format Data. -> Reboot Recovery After Wipe and Format. -> Flash This Rom Zip ...
???

Boot to Recovery ->Flash This Rom Zip ->Wipe Dalvik, Cache and Format Data. -> Reboot to System
Encryption doesn't matter if you gonna do Format Data. You might want to go back to stock first to avoid potential issues, though it should be fine if you don't.
Honestly though ArrowOS thread should be your main source of information on this topic.

Thank you!!!
