I have partitioned my SD and i have install all apps in the new partion with S2E.
I must now wipe my phone.
I have make a backup with titanium.
Can i wipe my phone and recover the apps with backup?
Yes, but they won't be restored to the partition, you'll have to move them again with s2e.

The wipe also clears the partition if that's what you mean.

It doesn't touch your sd card. It wipes the data off your phone.
you should format both, and back up the media you want. cuz the app wont work after wipe
I just started using a2sd and haven't learned too much about it, so I'm wondering if I was to do a wipe (ALT+W in recovery) would I still have all my apps intact?
Your apps should be saved in your ext partition on your sd card, so yes, if you wipe the phone, your apps will still be there when you reboot. You will probably have to reinstall them, but they will already be on the sd card.

Yes sir, that is the whole point of it. the only way you will lose your apps is to wipe your ext2/3/4 partition. some of your paid/protected apps will have to be re-installed after wipe but shouldn't be a big problem.
alright thanks for quick response guys
I am using MIUI 5.31 at the moment.
However it was known to be there'll be some update today after.
Is there any way to back-up and restore on the new version of ROM?
I have backuped all the systems and applications using the back-up menu.
Do I simply get new 5.32 and restore using the backup i created just now?
And to install a new version, from my old version 5.31, do I have to do
format /system
format /cache
format /data
and then install from SD card?
(or do I have to go back to Froyo? hopefully not )
And final question! Everytime I update the ROM, do i have to re-calibrate the battery? (Make battery full and wipe-out the battery status)
Thanks in advance! have a good day
um im newbie too so don't trust me too much
for updating existing rom.. do not require back-up and stuff..
u just /format system and cache and install the new Rom using CWM
it does not wipe out anything everything stays same except the rom version
hope this helps
Oh yeah and I wanted to ask question for calibration thing so.. if anyone have answer plz post XD
what does format /datadata do exactly? that in comparison with format /data

Thanks! Now I have some ideas how to do it. I will try your way first. But don't we need to format / data aswell?
I'm also getting confused between format /data and format /datadata. ><

If you want to do a completely clean install, format cache, system, data and datadata. If you want to keep your apps etc, format system and cache. Hope that clears things up

^^ yeah thats the best way, u dont need to format /data everytime, only when you feel like a clean install.
as for battery calibration, this is not needed for upgrades. usually a battery calibration is required when a full firmware is flashed with ODIN.
And MIUI backup will allow you to restore backups on older / newer versions of MIUI, but as mentioned above, you dont need to backup unless you are going to format /data and /datadata - where apps are stored

wow! thanks for the answers guys. It really helped me out to understand it more!!
I'll try out the new rom now. Thanks again!
Hi,
I've noticed that even after I move apps to sd-card partition ,the apps data is still saved on the internal memory.
can I move the data to the sd-card ?
That's normal. Even link2sd leaves data in internal memory.

wiped completely and wiped dalvik too.
link2sd does create a link .
why shouldn't I wipe dalvik ?
*link2sd links only app,dex,libs to the partition. I wanted to know if there's a way to link the app's data too

Link2sd cannot link the app's data.
Other apps like s2e for cyanogenmod roms can, but s2e isn't compatible with link2sd.
Also there is an option in titanium backup to move the app's data to sd card. I don't know if this option causes conflicts with link2sd.

Thnx!
2 questions:
1. moving the app's data to partition would slow it significantly?
2.would I need to format my parition to use s2e, or just uninstall link2sd?
I'm on CM7 and the system is mounted rw. This allows me to link data to system and use otherwise dead space. Also doesn't slow anything down. I done this using root explorer.

I want nothing left on my phone before installing new rom, will wiping data cache and dalvik be enough? or should i do internal storage to?
again, i want nothing left. clean as it gets.

Just click wipe on TWRP and slide the bar. Then install.
I wipe dalvik, cache, system and internal. Probably overkill, but doing so seems to cause the least problems. I backup my contacts to a vcf file to sd card and flash.

Just add your contacts to Google and you wont need to backup it anymore..
I believe in redundancy when backing up.
