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:

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
DO A NANDROID - and Keep it safe. (also recommend backing up apps via titanium backup)

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.
I'm currently on cm9 a10 and the games are very lag... I want to downgrade back to cm7/ GB, just wanna ask if the steps are right.
1. Reboot into recovery
2. Do a nandroid backup
3. Wipe Cache,data and dalvik cache
4. Flash cm7.zip
5. Reboot recovery
6. Wipe Cache,data and dalvik cache (just in case)
7. Flash cm7.zip again ( i heard without this step, there will be sync problems)
8. Flash gapps
9. Restore data only
10. Reboot
Right??
Sorry for this kind of questions, still a newbie to android

I haven't done this myself. But did move from CM9 to stock gb ddlf2.
I think you'll need to flash xxkpe along with repartitioning to go back to gb/cm7 from cm9.
Make sure you read more before moving further.
Hi,
Today I successfully rooted my galaxy Tab 2 7 P3100. What I am not sure is when and why we need the
Wipe Data/Factory Reset
Wipe Cache Partition
Wipe Dalvik Cache
I want to understand because I plan to try couple of other ROMs. Should I follow the above procedure every time I flash a ROM or is there a better way where avoiding any of the above is an option.
Regards.
to minimize the conflict that would occur if you use a different rom base
try it without wiping, usually meet force close dialog after booting
all i know is that wiping cache will clear data related to applications, so if you have an app force closing all the time it is sometimes handy to wipe that app's cache from the settings or wiping the entire cache from recovery.
wiping data/factory reset however will remove any app you have installed and all your personal files that you've put on the device.
Basic breakdown,
If going from one base ROM to another base ROM like stock to CM, CM to AOKP, stock to AOKP or anything like that you will need to do ALL 3 wipes.
If going from like a CM10 nightly to a newer nightly you can usually just wipe CACHE and Dalvick
If you flash addons you will usually need to wipe cache and Dalvick
BASICALLY just do what the INSTRUCTIONS for the ROM your flashing SAYS to do.
Wiping Dalvik cache before and after flasing of ROM

First of all a BIG THANK YOU.
Now One more doubt there is this ROM which I want to flash and it says to wipe dalvik cache before and after flasing the ROM. Please confirm only Factory reset will clear the existing ROM and wiping Cache and Dalvik cache wont affect the existing ROM(or internal SD Data)
Thanks again.

OK well flashing any ROM will replace your current ROM, NONE of your files (music, pictures or things like that) are touched by ANY of these wipes, Factory reset wipes out installed apps, wiping cache and dalvik after flashing or hell wipe data/factory reset won't touch the apps "built-in" to the ROM.
remember the ROM is your operating system and your files (music, pictures, and other stuff) are in the internal SD which is a separate partition from the ROOT system folder where the OS files are.
Wipe Data/Factory Reset - wipes all APPS and Google account information and resets all devices settings to default
as for the other 2 read through the answer here http://android.stackexchange.com/questions/25859/why-do-i-need-to-wipe-dalvik-cache it explains what the other wipes are about.
Hope that covers it, basically jumping from one ROM to another the most you can lose is your basic settings and your APPS (which can be redownloaded, if you didn't use an app to back them up first, but you would lose any progress in your games if you don't back them up).
I am a little confused on the terminology. I have done some searching and I came across the same question: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2107425 but it didn't really explain what manual format/system means for TWRP...
For instance, to install Slim Bean 4.2 build 8, it suggests to do a full wipe and then manual format system before flashing the rom.
How would I do this in TWRP? I want to make sure that this is DIFFERENT from format /data right? It is also different from "just" wiping "system" through "Advanced wipe" in TWRP?
Thanks in advance guys!

If you want to flash a new rom you have to go into TWRP
Wipe: Cache + Dalvik Cache + System
Wipe System is the same like formatting system

Thanks! Appreciate it. I was just wondering if formatting system is more of an active process that's different from wipe (eg. writing in zeros).

no its same
wipe = format
You don't need to wipe anything for flashing a newer version of some ROMs such as nighties. A factory is usually recommended to wipe the cache, dalvik cache and userdata to return the ROM to stock. Then when you flash a new ROM it will overwrite your current one.
Format System during SLIM installation
Hi,
Formatting the System is not risk the whole data i have on my device? in the past (as far as i remember,) doing it, deleted all the information i had on the device completely so it was even impossible to recognize it on the PC even all the drivers were well installed.
Looking forward for your advice.

glad I came across this thread, was always wondering about TWRP being so used to ClockWorkMod
does format data also wipe my android os As well?
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!!!
