hi guys
want to confirm sumthin..
1. there is a function under setting--privacy--restore data factory in my note
im running rocket rom v19 which came originally when i bought this 2nd hand set.. there is also rooted,cwm,jkay inside..
so the question is.. what will happen if i do the factory reset from here?
will my rooted(super user),cwm,jkay gone or erase?
will it go back to stock rom?
2. there is full wipe option in cwm.. izzit wipe all the rom file oso? what will happen when i do full wipe without flashing any rom?
is there any option in cwm to remove all data/account only? ( i mean to make it like super virgin yet still with the same rom with rooted,cwm and jkay)
hope you guys can help on this.. i want to remove all the previous owner data..
You can factory reset from clockwork....its all good just backup what you don't want to lose.
Btw you won't lose root....just do the reset from clockwork.....i have had issues doing it from inside the Rom.
One last thing make sure you keep a zip of the Rom onboard so if you run into bootloops after the reset you can just reinstall the Rom and be brand new.....you could also do that instead of the reset if you wanted also.

full wipe from CWM will restore your note to default settings
default as in a clean install of:
- current installed rom (Rocket v19)
- Root
- jKay
- CWM
- no apps
So, better you back up using TiBu first whatever you need to restore after defaulting

Let's say i have gignerDX5 installed and want to update to v6. Do I have to backup all my apps and data (sms, phonebook) again?
Simple answer is no, you can just upgrade and it will keep all user data.
You should however make a backup in Xrecovery just in case something goes wrong, if all goes well then either move the backup to PC for later or just delete.
I updated from Froyobread to GingerDX and still kept my data and apps.
I make somethimes fullfactory in Xrecovery,if I switched to new room.It´s not bat to make back up in Xrec.of old room.It´s your game,wher you have back up.I use Titanum backup pro and my acount for phonebook and calendar.I do´nt need anything else for change the room.
Hi...
I have a question, and I didn't wanna create new thread, cuz its related to title
When I flash a new rom, its recommended to do a Full Wipe... Do I have to do that before or after flashing a Rom?
You don't need to do a full wipe when you update GingerDX. Just install it and reboot. I didn't have any bugs by not making a full wipe.

If you're coming from 2.1 to DX do a wipe, I tried first time yesterday installing rom and got stuck on cyanogen mod boot screen. Did a wipe, reinstaled and worked.
So do wipe if coming from other rom

You can flash one of the one click odin without BOOTLOader from this thread ...........
boot into recovery...wipe data/factory reset
that will remove all user data, all accounts on the phone, all user apps, just like you fresh flashed the rom....

Hello. I've got mu SGS for about an year. I recently installed an ICSSGS ROM on it and I enjoy it but it's kind of sluggish. Also a "low space remaining" notification appears and I don't know how to get rid of it.
I want to ask you how I can clear the internal 6 GB on my phone and make it run smoother(can I just delete everything or are there some system files?), how I can install the Semaphore kernel and a good ICS ROM for a smooth experience and some games.
Thanks in advance!

I think you would just go to Settings - Backup & reset, select Factory data reset.
This will put your phone back into the "brand new" state when it first came out of the factory.
You'll lose all your apps, data and custom settings that you've been using.
Best thing to do now is to flash a new ICS like Slim Ics, Dark knight 5.5 or TWICS (i've tried these and they are very good roms). You can download one of these rom into .zip archive, put it into your device and flash via recovery. After that, you can flash a kernel of your choice in the same way (if it is in .zip format) or through Odin if it is in .Tar format
Factory reset means wiping all data and apps except system apps and data.that will clean your phone from all apps u installed after flashing the last rom(of cause u wipe everything when installing a new rom) this will get rid of any lag or sluggishness u are experiencing.
But first try wipe cache and dalvik in cwm.
Next download "easy cache cleaner" from play store and clean your cache.this normally solves the problem
Ps. I know the adds are annoying,but it's one of best free cleaners. To get rid of the adds download "droidwall" and check the apps that need internet/data connection and apply.it's like a firewall only the apps u allow permission have internet/data connection
Hey guys,
Sorry if this seems really noobish, but I seem be to kinda lost in all of this ROM'ing goodness.
I have read up on installing custom roms and plan on doing so but I have a couple of questions first before I take that last step (already unlocked and rooted on my One) - note: I have read through the guides but I still seem a little confused as to what exactly changes.
I notice that all tuts mention that you will lose all data on your phone. Does this include installed apps or are we just talking system files needed for the new rom? I have my phone setup already and have my apps backing up with Helium (Carbon) but this is something I seem to be a little confused with
Secondly, using something like CWM (Premium), can I update my ROM quickly and easily without losing any data?
I know that unlocking my bootloader will not get me OTA's so I am looking forward to using many of the awesome ROMs here on the site!
1) When you flash a rom, you need to do a full wipe in aroma.
Full wipe will erase all but not the sd, so your app in home, your background, your account will be erased.
2) You can upgrade your rom with CWM if is the same rom and the base isn't different.
If the base is different you have to do a full wipe.
One more
How likely is base to change for a ROM package? And if I have to flash that new ROM package instead of doing the update through CWM, am I back at square one again with my apps and data or is it just updating what it needs to?
Thanks again for the help!
Then:
Now, all the rom is based on 1.29.401.13.
When it will change (it depens from htc) and you will flash the latest update of rom, you have to do a full wipe, and you will lose all file, settings and other.
Instead, if you have to flash an update like: you're on 2.5 to 2.6, you can flash the rom with only dalvik cache and cache wipe.
But it depens, you always have to read in thread rom
I guess its not so big of a deal considering I can backup most of my apps using Helium and the rest of the apps can just be redownloaded if I keep a list. Configurations should be backed up anyways.
Thanks for the help!
If you're rooted and you will restore your app after a full wipe, i advise you titanium backup.
With this you can do a flashable zip with all your apps and data
Thanks!
I will take a look at Titanium backup and see what it can do! It would only make sense that someone would invent a way to backup all your apps and data (no matter what) to be able to restore them after a ROM update that wipes the phone completely!
Titanium backup can do this
However, only data app, not system app.
If you backupping system app too, you can have issue with new update of rom
Hi,
I am currently running C-RoM Mix v20 on my GTI9000, but v22 has already been released, so I am now wondering how I should go about updating.
If I download the new version and install it to my phone, will I have to reset and clear everything first, or can I just run it over the old version and keep all my installed apps and settings? Do I have to backup everything (for example with Titanium) and restore it manually after installing the new version?
And what is the best Kernel to use with this rom? I am currently using Semaphore (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1786220).
Backup all your user apps using TB or equivalent. A nandroid backup of your existing Rom is also recommended (if you like).
You can dirty flash the Rom but if you experienced FCs after flashing, you must reflash the Rom with full wipe + format system.
Mackay is one of the recommended kernels for installation.

for better performance, use default kernel given, dev isnt that stupid to give his end user something bad at least.
to make any inconvenience occur, wiping all cache n resetting is da best thing, if ur juz wanna update or switching to any 4.x.x, backup any app u wanted with titanium backup and juz restore it with data. there will be no problem
ok, thanks for your replies, backing up it is then
