Right now I'm using CM 6.1.1 on my Nexus One. When I flashed CM for the first time I wiped my SD card right after I installed the ROM, so I really don't remember too much about what happened to my apps or anything like that. So, my question is, if I want to install CM 7, can I just wipe my phone with ROM manager right before installing it, and then not wipe my SD card afterwards? Will the apps, pictures, ect., that is on my SD card right now magically appear untouched on CM 7? I guess I'm just not sure how the SD card contents will be affected when flashing ROMs, and I'm not sure if after you flash a new ROM, the ROM can use all of the stuff that's on your SD card just like the ROM you had before did.. Does that kinda make sense? I feel dumb for asking all this. Also, when I save a backup of my ROM, the backup will just be a copy of all of my phone's internal memory and the operating system, right? And when I wipe my phone and install a new ROM, the new ROM just replaces all of my phone's old contents? So if I ever flashed my original ROM again, it'd bring back all of my phone's contents, system memory, operating system, apps installed on the phone, ect?
Thanks for taking the time to read my long, poorly written batch of questions Help would be very very appreciated!
SD card isn't touched when flashing ROMs.
You can restore your backup and it'll be all like it was.
If you use DT A2SD - things start being more complicated.

Yes, you can leave your SD contents as is, they won't be touched.
Will the apps, pictures, ect., that is on my SD card right now magically appear untouched on CM 7?

Pictures, Music, Videos etc that are stored on the SD card will remain untouched by flashing a new ROM, however apps are a different story. Basically you've got two main types of Apps on SD cards. The first is froyos implementation which is basically used to free up space on the phone memory but will not survive a wipe or flashing a new ROM. The alternative is Dark Tremors A2SD which uses a dedicated partition on your SD card (Created through recovery) to store apps by tricking the system into thinking the folder on your SD card is actually on internal memory. Once a new ROM is installed over the current (Which obviously must use DT A2SD also) these apps should be available again with their settings etc remaining.
I guess I'm just not sure how the SD card contents will be affected when flashing ROMs, and I'm not sure if after you flash a new ROM, the ROM can use all of the stuff that's on your SD card just like the ROM you had before did

Again, all data/media remains but apps require A2SD or its variants.
Also, when I save a backup of my ROM, the backup will just be a copy of all of my phone's internal memory and the operating system, right?

When you backup/nandroid you take a screenshot of sorts of your system. By default I think most recovery images save the boot, system, data and cache partitions when a backup is being made. Certain recoveries offer to backup other partitions such as sd-ext (Where A2SD stores the apps). Backups are designated by folders with a time stamp, I personally rename these to reflect the contents e.g. MM.v.20 tells me this is MicroMods v.20 of his GB ROM. Obviously yours will differ but I find this keeps things organised. Basically think of nandroid as the Android equivalent of Acronis true image or Norton Ghost for the PC. It lets you create any number of backups which will restore your device to the exact state at the moment of backup.
And when I wipe my phone and install a new ROM, the new ROM just replaces all of my phone's old contents?

A newly flashed ROM will basically restore your device to factory settings but on the new ROM. Once you've signed in to your Google account certain settings and content will be automatically downloaded e.g. Calendar appointments, Contacts. Other settings will not be restored e.g. Display brightness, alarms.
So if I ever flashed my original ROM again, it'd bring back all of my phone's contents, system memory, operating system, apps installed on the phone, ect?

Nope, again it would return to the factory settings. However you can restore nandroid backups you have made of your original ROM which would return the system exactly to its previous state.
Basically if you're on a stock ROM it won't have A2SD. If you wish to use A2SD from now on then find a ROM which uses it, partition your SD card appropriately (Plenty of guides around) and you'll have minimal problems moving from ROM to ROM. As for Nandroid you'll find that most ROM devs recommend wiping all data from the phone (Not SD card) before flashing their ROM. Otherwise files or settings from other ROMs can cause some undesired effects on your current one.
Good luck and get reading the Nexus wiki, it's very helpful for these types of questions
Note: For some reason I vaguely remember someone noting that Froyos A2SD can be used to move apps to another ROM or at least the base app itself (If not the individual setup/settings) but I can't seem to find any info after a quick Google and it never interested me enough to look into it further. Perhaps someone can clear this up?

I dont think thats true.. suppose it's formatted during a wipe.. titanium backup serves the purpose like a charm.. (with all the settings for the apps and the resumes for the games)

I have a similar question to the OP. I use a 1GB EXT through DT's A2SD. If I wanted to flash a new ROM would the following be my step-checklist?
1 - Nand backup (just in case)
2 - Backup apps with Titanium
3 - wipe system data & cache
4 - flash new rom
5 - restore apps?
I'm just wondering what the procedure is to keep the apps in A2SD on a new flash without re-setting up.

yeah that would be fine..
btw 1: if you upgrading a cm nightly, you need not wipe system n cache..
2: if you do a titanium backup before, then you can finish all the steps in the recovery in one go..
n I dint quite get what you are asking. but from what I know, apps 2 sd folder (ie android.secure) is erased in a wipe.. that isnt changing
Sent from my Nexus One
shreyas - thanks for your help.
I understand the A2SD (EXT) partition onthe sd will be wiped, but I'm assuming I would have to do nothing to get the new rom to see the ext and use it?
That's really my question. Would recovering my apps from Titanium push them back on the A2SD location or would I need to install A2SD again?
i don't think so..
I suppose that the pro version must support the direct a2sd.. but give it a try.. if it dosent work then you have do manually..

hello, i am new to xda.. so please forgive me if i stated a wrong question or in the wrong section or even repeat the question as i couldnt get a fully satisfying solution searching the forum. i cant post directly in the developer section as i dont yet have access to it...so i posted in the QnA section.
so i have xperia x8 with stock kernel and i have flashed a custom rom PrimeHD v6.0 after reading thoroughly all the requirements and procedures.

and then i had installed a tweak for cm7 roms: jimdemdroid

now the thing is i want to upgrade the present custom rom ie v6.0 to v7.0
but i am kind of unsure how to do it correctly.. i mean i know how to do it through the recovery.. but my questions are:
1. do i have to again factory reset/full wipe the phone again??..
2. do i have to clear all caches.. like the dalvik cache etc.. [i read it somewhere you have to delete all the caches]
3. will the applications INSTALLED on my external storage be affected if at all i require a full wipe?
4. since i have flashed jimdemdroid tweak, do i have to do full wipe in this case?.. ie if otherwise the wipe isnt required or so..
5. a detailed step by step instruction would be very appreciated!!
some off the topic questions..[just didnt want to open a new thread for these]
1. do i actually need the jimdemdroid tweak [even the lite version] on primehd mod.. as i dont see much difference except the bravia engine.. no to mention the dsp manager doesnt work now due to xloud drivers..
2. i had selected the install location in the cyanogenmod application settings to external. ie the apps shud now go to the sdcard.. but my internal storage now also gets filled.. and also in the normal application settings->manage applications-> i still find a 'move to sd card' button active.. if i already have installed the apps in the external storage [which also gets filled obviously] then that option shudnt be there.. or faded w/e..
i was on 6.0 (stock kernel) and i upgraded to 7.0 today
everything is working perfectly for me, even the wifi wich doesn't work on custom kernels work perfect.
if you ask me, i would remove jimdemdroid, because there is no big difference with or without it
i didn't wiped anything, and i used titanium backup for backuping everything (messages, contacts, bookmarks, calendars, apps) just in case
install and reboot only..
no need full wipe
The new update it will wipe your current system,with any changes made by you..e.x this tweak,but not your data
So
if you want it you must install it again(the tweak package..)
we clear the dalvik when we have incompatibles with apps
And also if we have force close with a app we delete in data/data /the file of this and reinstall it

Answer to your questions :
1. A full wipe is always recommended to avoid any type of possible bugs/errors.
2. Once you do a full wipe , clearing dalvik cache etc is NOT required
3. android.secure (applications on SD card) is formatted
4. Full wipe after flashing the tweak is not required. However if you face some problems/errors , do a full wipe
5. Just gave you the answers
Off topic answers :
1. PrimeHD is already stable enough. As such the tweak is not required.
2. When an application is moved to SD card , only some part is shifted to the SD card. The whole application is NOT transferred to the SD card. Did you try to click on the "Move to SD card" option. Probably your app wasn't even installed to the SD card in the first place.
thank you all for your replies..
ok so i get it like this
1. download primehdv7.0 files and move it to sdcard
2. reboot into cwm recovery
3. do a full wipe [optional- just to eliminate bugs by mere chance- though it will remove my messages contacts on internal storage and apps on external storage]
4. install zip from sdcard
5. reboot and done!
please confirm the above thing.. thank you.. and yes one more thing... if i dont do a full wipe.. do i require to remove caches and stats .. if yes.. then please mention all of them..
and @mayank77 for the offtopic answer.. i get it about the partial move of apps to sd... but i also read about the permanent solution to move complete app to sd.. ie via sdk manager following steps to setInstallLocation to 2 (external) via cmd using adb
but recently i tried this method on my friends mobile which is android 2.2 galaxy fit and it doesnt seems to work.. i rechecked the install location by pm getinstalllocation and it says there external.. but then too the internal storage was getting filled... now i suspected this method also as a partial moving to sd.. but no.. the whole app was installed in the phone memory.. any suggestions to that??
as I exp if you use other rom i always wipe my system ,,,and I use flash player after wards,, note if you dont know how to use flash tool pls do soo before performing wiping system on your cwm
@rezzen25 : flash player or flash tool??..
and i need a confirmation if the flashtool has to be used for sure.. as from the previous replies.. i dont think that we are to use flashtool..
personal satisfaction for doing safe measures is a different thing though.. and this isnt a new rom i am adding.. its an upgrade to the same rom..

First of all welcome to xda yeah for the clean installation of romm what u need to do is
1 WIPEdata/factory reset
2 wipe cache partion
3 in advance option wipe dalvik cache and wipe battery stats
this are the steps for clean installation
but i do not insists on upgrading the rom always do a clean installation
and for moving app2sd there is brilliant app called link2sd on the google play store it moves the complete app and dalvik cache too but for that u need to partion your sd card to ext3 or ext4 based on the app i am using ext4 partion
and partion can be done via two methods in built recovery or by the help of pc app windows miniwizard partion tool search for partion tutuorial on xda
good luck and if ur trying to unlock ur bootloader if aware of reading the stickies in the general section

flashtool is used in the case of soft bricking or flashing the kernels not for flashing roms
instead do a clean install rather then upgrade my openion though
@ankitxperia : thanks a lot ... i exactly needed this reply.. i think i will do a clean install whatsoever
about link2sd.. yeah i will look for partitioning guide and give that a try... i read it somewhere that link2sd does all the job... but i was quite reluctant to try partitioning as i got to read and stuff.. but now... i will definitely read and do the partition..
and yes.. please tell if you have tried the sdk manager thing to install your apps to sd card directly.. as i said it didnt seem to work.. if you have tried it ie setinstalllocation to external.. please confirm that it works .. thank you..
O my fg...
Dude install and reboot for v7
Full wipe if the dev say it..

PrimeHD v 8.0 has released. It's OK. I using now...
Hello, I have a Samsung Galaxy S Fascinate (SGH-T959D) that came with Android 2.2.
I rooted my phone and installed Ice Cream Sandwich with the Semaphore kernal. When I did this all my old information & apps were gone and I got to set everything up like when getting a new phone.
I saw that there was an update out for the Semaphore kernal and did a factory reset before I updated not knowing that you can update the kernal and keep all the old info on the phone. Now, I have all of my apps information and folders on the internal memory (no apps installed yet) and would like to know what folders can be deleted and if there is a way to make it like a new phone so I get to set everything up again like new?
I have alot of apps and folders that I don't want to use any more or files that are bogging down the memory.
TL;DR: Is there a way to make my rooted phone format it's internal memory to be like stock so I get to set everything up from scratch?
while not really necessary you can format the internal sd card. I do this quite often but like to copy the entire internal sd card info onto a folder on my pc first.
if you do a factory rest, wipe cache, wipe dalvik cache & format internal sd-card phone will be like new...
Thanks, I'll give this a try.

then i realize xsp is not rooted so I rooted again with Towelroot n installed recoveries.
everything goes fine for some day n problem occurred again. :crying:

You should start all over again and use an external mini SD for your backups and media files.
Backup to external SD card from recovery rather than backing up to your internal memory.
Backup files are known to be large files.

No, just wipe everything on your internal SD card.
Wipe /cache, /data... etc.
Format /system
And then start over again like you've just bought your phone.
You must have a load of bloatware since I cannot image an internal SD card being full with only installing a few apps.

If you restore a nandroid backup from recovery it will not solve your problem!
There are always folders with files in them that remain on your internal memory.
Restart all over (format) and when you're installing big apps like games or so, move them to your external SD card.
If not, you will be confronted with the same problem over and over again.
Simple logic if you ask me...

You possibly have one or more nandroid backups in your internal memory.
Check folder clockworkmod\backup.
There might be some folders in there. Delete any backups (complete folder) which aren't needed.
To avoid running out of memory again, backup to external SD card from now on.

Don't make a nandroid backup. Just make backup of apk's then make a backup of contacts manually in vcf format and all other things you need. Then partition your SD card and then use App2SD and make your internal memory grow more in space don't follow anyone's else crap suggestions.

Telling people not to use a nandroid backup is what I call a "crap" suggestion!
I can name millions of reasons why it is always good to have a full nandroid backup.

Who keeps grudge that I know
And as far as it is about making a nandroid backup then keep in mind that Nandroid Backup makes backup of compelete device as it is in what so ever state it is. He download apps over and over again so it's better to backup apk's rather than a nandroid backup And yeah you help me growing up if you know XD
I just have a quick question. I have a Samsung Galaxy Exhibit T599n and running Beanstalk 4.4+ rom. I am having a few issues with the rom after a few month, such as random reboots, issues with PC connection (Phone only runs in Charge only mode, and phone does not pop up the option to use charge only, camera, or media mass storage modes when I connect to PC) and also no longer connects to Kies.
My question is, if I re-flash the SAME version of the rom that I have installed (I have the most recent version) over the current version I have installed, will I lose my apps and settings? Just want to know what to prepare for if I reflash. Should I do that and get to keep my apps and settings? Or is a factory reset necessary to fix my errors?
Do a factory reset that should do it .. if not it might be hardware problem.
EDIT: You can use Titanium Backup if you have root acess to backup all your apps.

Excellent, thank you.
One other question, I had a problem with this last time I did a factory reset. I have my SD card partitioned to install my apps on there (Phone only came with 1GB internal, and would only hold a couple apps) so my SD card is 32GB, with 8GB partitioned to install my apps on. I remember having trouble with them last time I tried to flash a new rom and ended up having to reinstall Beanstalk from scratch and completely wipe the app partition as well.
Ok soo if i understood , you rom that you gona flash on your 32 gb sd card and flash from that also you can get app link2sd i think its called which let you transfer apps to sd card, correct me if i am wrong.
Code:
I already have it set up that way. I have the rom installed, I have the 2nd partition on my SD card, and have the apps linked to it with Link2SD. But, I last time I tried backing up roms that were installed on that partition, I have a bounty of issues. When I went to reinstall the apps, the files were still on that 2nd partition, there were dormant files left over everywhere, so when I'd try to restore the apps from backup, I got a plethora of errors and the rom began crashing. Just wondering if there's any way to backup and use roms that are installed on that 2nd partition using Link2SD?

I see, well since you have only 1 gb of internal storage for use i dont think i can help you with that.. because backup itself take a lot of space and not sure if you can make it to backup on your 2nd partition.
Or you can try transfer your backup files to your PC/laptop and delete everything then ty doing it and transfer back to phone after.
