I want to keep dual boot functionality yet wipe my WebOS account information.
Will performing a secure full erase from within WebOS interfere with the ICS installation? or am I better off running ACMEUninstaller, performing the WebOS wipe, then re-installing ICS?

I had to do a secure full erase, then doctor my TP. Android was still there, but I had to reinstall moboot with Acmeinstaller. After that, I was able to access Android with no problems.

OK, just a quick background:
I have a G1,
running Amon_ra's Recovery Image
CyanogenMod-4.2.13
OK, so I love Amon-Ra's recovery because it makes all the maintenance things very easy. Wiping the Dalvik Cache is a quick task.
Here's my question: When folks on here say they wipe every month of so, or wipe before each new Cyanogen update, do they mean wiping everything? SD card reformat etc? Or do they just wipe certain things?
I had never wiped before 4.2.13, and found each Cyanogen release more sluggish and crashy than the last. Then I wiped, installed 4.2.12, and it ran like a brand new phone. I loved it. But now a couple weeks has passed and my phone is slowing again. I tried wiping the Dalvik Cache but didn't see any real improvement.
So do I need a full wipe to get things back to speedy? It seems like a big pain in the ass to have to reinstall all my apps, reset notification tones, etc every time the phone gets slow. Is this the case, or is the general term "wiping" refering to a lesser operation?
Thanks for any help,
Tony
It is easy to backup the apps with the command 'pull' in adb, then use the command 'push' to push them back and the phone will install them.
I would just bite the bullet and redo your settings. I know there are programs like backup for root users that will redo the settings, but I have had problems with it and would rather reappy the settings myself.
One other option to try first: download "Cachemate" from the market. It's a paid app but so worth the buck.
The app clears all the temp caches - you would be amazed at how much memory is taken up by the caches as apps run. And the apps often don't release those caches even after reboots.

You can also do it manually by going "setings->apps->app management->select the app, then wipe cache" And sure it will take longer, but hey, for me it is one of the joys of using a phone, actually performing those tasks.
As for wiping, in ArmonRA, wipe data, wipe dalvick, wipe ext, then go to sd partion option, and repair ext, then wipe data one last time. That is the proper way to do a full wipe with ArmonRA.
As for wiping at home, I like Charmin Ultra Soft.

LOL! and for the thread, when they say rewipe, they don't mean to reformat your whole sdcard. That would be such a pain. You just gotta wipe the ext, (if you have partitions on your sd card), Cache, and data.
-EDIT-
Oh wait he already said that..
Does anyone have any advice? My system was very stable, then I upgraded my uboot and flashed the 3.1 beta. The beta performed terribly, so I flashed back to the build in the title, and now all these force closes. I did install Pure Messenger and Pulse in the meantime and put up some widgets.
I'm planning to try out Phiremod on eMMC and see how that works out, but if there's a fix for this issue, I'd like to try it out. I have CWM on eMMC, but I'm thinking if I clear caches in there, it will be the caches in my stock OS install on eMMC, correct? Can I point it to the SD install?

Boot into Clockwork. Under Mounts / Storage wipe cache, then go into "advanced" and wipe dalvik cache (will cause your device to lock & need hard reboot). Then boot your machine as normal. Load time will be a little on the long side because your Nook will be rebuilding cache...perfectly normal. This has to be done when going back to the stables from the Beta CM7.

But again, with CWM on eMMC and CM7 on SD, won't that wipe the caches for the stock install on eMMC rather than for CM7?
That method did not work, btw, I'm guessing because it wasn't wiping the caches for the ROM on the card. Any way to do this for a verygreen SD install?

In terminal emulator, su then rm /data/dalvik-cache/*
Just go to settings, applications, manage application, in the all tab, find "media storage" if I remembered correctly, then go in and clear data, reboot then you should be fine.

Hope I'm not counting my chickens before they hatch, but it looks like that did it--thank you!

So far, this did the trick for me! Thank you!
Edit: Giving the HP Touchpad to my mother. I need to remove Moboot, CM9, CWM, and all the linux partitions. I need to restore it back to stock, as she will just use WebOS.
Any good links regarding returning the TP back to stock?
The HP side seems good to go.
As for CM9, just go into Clockworkmod and wipe data and cache. Then re-flash the ROM and gapps. Erase anything else off of the SD card and it's brand new on the Android side.
Thanks. I really did enjoy the WebOS. It is slower than Android, but had some really nice touches.
Change of plan. Going to give the TP to moms. I need to return it to stock WebOS 3.0.5 only and delete Android. I found an old video, but that was for CM7. Any recent links to deleting CM9 and restoring the TP back to stock?
You should only have to run ACMEUninstaller then do a WebOS Doctor to get everything back to factory settings
ACMEUninstaller removes all the Android partitions so if you dont do it before the Doctor that space will be unusable.

Thanks. I used the ACMEUninstaller then did a secure full erase of the WebOS. Is there any reason I should use WebOS doctor?
WebOS Doctor sets everything back to factory settings however now that I think about it you might not need to do that im pretty sure there is an option somewhere in WebOS to do a full wipe
I just flashed jcsullins schizoid 4.2.2 (version 2.11, the latest) and everything went fine, I made a backup, I was on 4.1.2 jc sullins cm. I wiped the cache and the dalvik cache and everything works great except for the sd card, it does not recognize it. The icons for the apps that were on the sd card now say app is not installed, should I wipe the system data and the caches?
Reflash schizoid?
at this point I am thinking of flashing another rom using the pc since the tp will not let me d/l anything, I had default location set to sd card, do not know how to change it.
thank you

That is where i got the rom (schizoid 2.11) that I flashed and ended up with no access to the sd card. I performed a restore on my nandroid backup and so have access again. Was going to try the evervolv rom or the 0808 test build by jcsullins, what do you think?
Also should i only wipe the cache/dalvik cache or do a wipe of the system also, want to be able to restore backup if I do not care for the newer rom and not sure if I will be able to if I do a system wipe

No advice on the ROM, pick whatever makes you happy, but I've had no one else report issues with the sdcard on Schizoid. Doing a system wipe will not prevent you from restoring a nandroid backup.

Hello,
I managed to root and install CM on my kindle fire. I also flashed Gapps to try something but I no longer want it. So, I used flashfire and reflashed CM and also chose "wipe" with system data and third party apps selected, but gaaps are still there when i reboot.
Anyone have any ideas to remove gaaps?

Wiping the system partition should have been sufficient. Assume you moved wipe action to the top of the FlashFire operations queue.
You can accomplish a more comprehensive wipe by placing the CM 12.1 zip on a removable SD card then wiping system, 3rd party apps, internal storage and dalvik. Be sure to queue up a ROM flash immediately following the wipe operation; otherwise you will end up with an 'empty' system and be forced to reload FireOS from the stock recovery menu.
