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!!!

Hello, I'm just trying to gather as much information as I can and be clear about everything before I install a custom ROM. I have already rooted the nexus s.
The ROM I'm interested in is this CyanogenMod 7.
In their installation instructions it says
- Format the system, data & cache partitions of your device.
- Perform a factory reset.
From another guide (AddictiveTips) they just tell us to do the following
- Select wipe factory/data reset.
- Now, wipe cache and dalvick cache.
The xda thread tells us to format system, data, and cache partitions. But the AddictiveTips guide only seem to tell us to format the data & cache partitions.
So my question is, does the system partition automatically get formatted while installing the new ROM, or do you have to manually format it by going to mounts and storage > format system before installing the ROM?
Also, do you guys recommend to format all the required partitions by going to mounts and storage or by selecting wipe factory/data reset and wipe cache from the main menu? Thanks in advance.
...anyone?
Wipe factory/data reset (this will obviously also wipe the caches)
Install zip from SDCard (ROM)
Reboot.

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).
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:

Oh, gotcha! I was just missing one small step haha. Thank you
I am trying to install an Oreo based ROM lineage os 15.1
Currently data partition is ext4
Latest Twrp installed
But still whenever I try to install any Oreo ROM I get encryption unsuccessful message and even after factory reset with yes I get stuck on same thing again and again and if I try to change recovery after installing ROM the phone gets stuck in boot loop can anyone please help to solve this problem
I think this will solve ur issue
Yup I have also the same problem first of all do all these steps I think it resolve your issue:-
1. Go to settings of TWRP and reboot recovery.
2. Now format all the internal storage if u have important files in internal storage skip this step
3. After that go to advanced wipe and select system and data one by one and change its format to ext4.
4. Now advanced wipe everything.
5. Thats all now you can install lineage 15.1
I did the same and its working properly in my phone.
This problem occurs due to change of format of data to f2f so convert it to EXT4 and its fine
when you did advanced wipe to evertything is data, cache, system, etc? i already did this but still saying me that my phone was encrypted and i have to unlock with the pin or my account but i get a loop even if i put the correct user and password.

Bro I already mentioned first of all you have to Factory reset but it will wipe all your data from internal storage so do have a back up for that. Encryption issue can only resolved by factory reset.

Do you Reverted partition to stock partitioning?
Is your recovery an up to date recovery like TWRP 3.2.x,3.5.1, OrangeFox ,SHRP?

First thing is few lineage OS not work on Vendor partition. To over come this use below steps:
Note: Use orange fox recovery for smooth flow
1. Run revert vendor practitioner for exynos 7870.
2. Then reboot to recovery.
3. Goto format option perform format ( This will erase your internal storage data before action this step take a backup)
4. Then navigate to wipe option then wipe Dalivk cache, cache, system, data, internal storage
5. Then install lineage os zip. reboot and enjoy
If you want to install any treble rom in feature better use Universal script. This script make 4096MB system partition, 512MB vendor partition & 57 cache partition
