I'm using Slim ICS 3.2 but I want a clean install, I've gone through so many Roms so I don't want any other file conflicts.

Alternatively transfer essentials to computer from your internal sd card>>>factory reset and wipe internal sd card>>>Attach to computer and only transfer back your nandroid backup (you still need this incase something goes wrong) and the rom zip...
Go to recovery wipe data/factory reset>>>wipe cache>>>wipe dalvik>>>mounts and storage>>>format system+cache+datadata+data (I dont wipe boot and you need sdcard)>>>Flash rom
That should give you a very clean install
Cleaner if you clear up your exsd if you have one

First dl. Your rom to sd (don't move it from your download section, this is your internal SD)
Just follow the steps, 3 posts up,but as he said DO NOT WIPE SD-CARD, doesn't matter if u wipe boot nothing bad will happen.remember to also wipe dalvik cache.
After wipe, install your rom and essentials(needed on slim rom) then let it boot.if u restore apps with titanium b. Then only restore app, not app+data otherwise u might have some apps fc
Hope it helped

You have deleted all your pictures music etc on your SD card. Including the rom that you were meant to or have already flashed. Also you may have deleted your backups and possibly your nandroid.
If you haven't flashed flashed yet ensure you make a nandroid backup and transfer the rom you wish to flash onto your sd card.

My phone is now unrooted so I can't use Titanium Backup
I want to ask first is the internal USB storage will be deleted if I downloaded new firmware ??
if yes , how to back up my data to the computer ??
I finished a lot of stages in many games and I want to back their data (only stages data , I can download the game again no problem) to the computer or to the USB Storage if it won't be deleted if I downloaded new firmware
No New firmware won't delete Internal storage, even you flash Wipe ROM

that will delete, internal memory means internal sd card. Data on internal sd won't delete. Settings save in system rom, that will delete if u flash wipe rom, but nothing will delete if u flash nonwipe rom

Games Data will be stored in SD card so after flashing new ROM (if it is Wipe ROM) you have to install the game from Market.
@Ranjan
He is asking about level of games, which remains in ROM, that will be deleted(in case of ROM is wipe), Reinstalling won't restore level.

Hey guys, after having my phone for coming up on 2 years, my Internal SD has been filled with tons of garbage apps that I've tried, uninstalled, and a bunch of other stuff. I was wondering - what is the best procedure for formatting this to clean it up a little? If I copy my Titanium Backup folder to my PC (some savegames i want on there ) am I pretty much safe to just format it? Is there anything I should know?
Can anybody offer me any information on this

I also need to knw, if its safe to format Internal SD.
Since im on ICS, i have noticed many of my Games (Gameloft) are not working properly and continuously crashing, previously i was on GB, I think its because of the data stored(game data) or any thing else in there. Agn, is it safe to format Internal SD, that is approx 6gb. ?
If Yes, then what items are to be made backup?
You can format your internal sd card no problem. Personally I like to copy everything off the internal sd card onto my pc first. Once this data is safe I delete it off the phone. Restart in recovery, format the internal sd card & do a factory reset, clear cache and dalvick cache.
Now phone is like new...

Even formatting on a computer should not affect System partition. Not unless if you are using ADB commands to specifically format the internal SD. That's a LOT of extra effort.

I haven't tried this, but I'm assuming Snapper's correct on this subject. The PC will only mount the /sdcard partition, which you should be able to wipe without losing any of your /system data.

So I have had this problem for a long long time....searched Google endlessly for the solution but in vain....
The thing is none of the a2sd scripts are working on any roms I flash...
I have tried s2e,link2sd,dta2sd,amarullz sd2ext....
And for your info I have a class 4 4gig card with 1gb ext3 partition...
So now lets see the problems I have...
1.S2E
Every thing is fine for a week or so after installing it...then suddenly I get reboot when installing a new app..after reboot "voila" none of my apps are accessible even though they are present in extra partition ...
2.Link2sd
Everything is fine say for around 15days after installing it...then the system suddenly becomes "read only" and not able to link any app or dalvik cache to SD ext..
3.Amarullz script ...
After few hours it messed up my su app and was not able to use any root apps...
4.Dt a2sd..
Same problem as s2e..good for few days and then suddenly starts rebooting and not able to install any apps...
Guys I use mostly cm mods..had prob with all of them ..
Also used it with emnon...
Please guys help me on this...

If I were you, I would re-format the card back to 100% FAT32, then use rom manager to create an ext4 partition, then try s2e again. It's the easiest, most reliable way imo, as I suspect it might be the ext3 format that's giving you problems

Ok but if I reformat it to ext4....and flash a new rom(by wiping data) then cwm will again turn the partition into ext3 while formatting the SD card...right?
And rom manager doesn't support our device ...

CWM won't repartition your sd card by flashing or restoring a rom. CWM will format /system part on nand before flash or restore, but your ext should just be restored upon a nandroid restore and untouched upon nandroid restore. AFAIK anyways.
Rom mgr wont work to flash roms, but is ok for partitioning and a couple other things

Hi guys,
Sorry for the question. I have my moms note. I am good at flashing but I cant seem what went wrong here. I was on official ICS.
I upgraded to leaked Jellybean, all worked wonders, I was on LS7 with Philz kernel. But then I lost root, I read there was a fix for that but then I discovered the problem I need hel with.
I CANT COPY ANYTHING TO INTERNAL OR EXTERNAL STORAGE!!! I tried everything. Wipes, reflash, fix permissions, etc., even format the sd card. But I can´t copy anything....I have checked if they are mounted and no problem. Camera can write to sd. Cant even open Gallery because it says INSUFFICIENT MEMORY. But the phone and card are empty!!!
This had never happened to me....Can anyone help me?
Owww....I so sad...
Just tried with another sd card andd couldnt flash philz new kerenl....signature error....
Im on JB installed via Odin.
Tried installi rocket rom form stock recovery..... starts, android appears and reappears and then it boots back in recovery....
I had the same problem (not enough storage) with Rocketrom and Philz Kernel. I switched to Hydracore V7 and Utackas Paranoidandroid with a full wipe and had no problem ever since. Don't know what caused the problem.

when you flashed the rom again, did you do proper wipes? If not very much concerned about data and apps, the try
make sure you have the rom in your sd card
boot into cwm philz recovery
mounts and storage
format /system
format /data
format /cache
format/preload
then go ahead and install the rom again. restes
Use es file explorer, go to sd card, tap menu then settings then file settings and select show hidden in files, you should now see a folder called. Trash100 it will be full of all your deleted items, although your sd is empty the files are still there just hidden
Delete that folder and reboot. Same applies to external sd too.

Welll apps weren`t a problem since my moms uses almost none LOL.
I went all the way back to 2.3.6, upgraded to 4.0.4 via KIES, rooted with stock recovery, nandroid backup here. Up to here everything working. Went to flash JB and could only flash TWM build. All still worked. I wanted to flash rocket rom but i still get same error of "Installation aborted".
Actual setup is working, without Snote (cant flash fix) and without airview (ditto).
Still missing to try to flash via Mobile Odin.

To no avail I have sought a definitive order of operations for the housekeeping tasks to perform post ROM install. Specifically, at what point should one move apps to the external micro SD card and at what point should one get into the Buildpropeditor to change the SD0 to SD1 for the swap SD procedure?
Here is my usual order of operations on the bunch of ROM installs that I have done.
I make a nandroid of my current ROM (using TWRP).
I make a Titanium backup of all my apps and data, saved to my microSD card.
I make a Titanium backup update.zip (I am still not totally sure what the heck this is but I do it each time and then restore it for good measure -- somebody educate me).
Since I use LauncherPro, I make a backup of my LauncherPro settings, also to my microSD card.
I install the new ROM and GAPPs and update.zip to my microSD card.
I reboot to recovery using TWRP.
I wipe cache, dalvik, factory reset and system wipe. I do those wipes a couple more times for good measure.
I boot into recovery.
I flash the ROM.
I flash the GAPPS
I flash the update.zip
I go to ADVANCED
I fix permissions
I reboot.
I lot into my Google account.
Google starts downloading all my apps.
When that is done, I restore my Titanium backups. I restore missing apps and data and system apps and data, and all the restorable things listed under the restore category.
I reboot.
Now, at this point, what comes next? Do I move all my apps to the microSD card and then go into buildprop and swap the SD?
What is the order of operations for the whole ROM flashing process? Are the steps I showed correct? And how about the very end? When to move the apps to the microSD card and when to swap the SD card in buildprop?
Once first boot is done and after google restores my apps, then before I open or setup any apps i edit build.prop 0 to 1,reboot then set all my settings

Hmm. I just found out that if I flash the new rom and GAPPS, move all the apps to the microsd card, and then do the buildprop change from 0 to 1, all my apps disappear.
So is it conclusively true that one must make the buildprop change from 0 to 1 before moving each app to the external microsd card?
I don't move apps

Why don't you move apps to your microSD card? The popular wisdom seems to be that you want to keep the very limited internal memory as free as possible. Is that a misconception? I have always been curious about this.
I don't move them simply because I have never needed to, once the 18 apps I use are installed and build.prop is edited and rebooted the folders appear on my sd card, so I'm guessing that the app data is stored on the SD card, i have never came close to running out of space, i average 500mb + free on internal storage

Is it necessary to boot back into recovery after flashing and first boot and log-in? Is it possible in TWRP to set up three consecutive flashes, first the rom flash then the gapps flash then the update.zip flash? Or is it necessary to flash the rom and gaps, reboot and log in and then reboot to recovery to flash the update.zip?
Yes you have to reboot, if. Not it gives a failed and tells you to boot ROM first. And if you have an update zip you are happy with, then twrp really is only needed to keep up with updates and such for your update zip.
