Hello everyone.
I have a question for all of you... how cand i reset the phone just as if it would be new? Every time i flash a new rom the phone remembers the wifi passwords, the kill processes i made before and much more.
I want to make the phone lighter, to make it run fast without lags and fc. I changed the pit file (4Gb), but the phone runs slow...
Deactivate this in Google account settings... Do not sync app / personal settings.
from the recovery delete cache, dalvik cache and data partition... also internal sd card. after rebooting disable account restore and account sync

I am using Vaniljeclair Release 11 on a Sprint HTC Touch, on the SD Card via Haret. My system isn't very stable, so I must occasionally reinstall the system. I recently reinstalled and reloaded my data partition from a backup. As a result, my GMail cache is now out of sync. There are plenty of pages which detail how to clear the cache, but they appear to be inappropriate for my system, as the expected entries do not exist in "Manage Applications."
How does one clear the cache and re-sync without those entries? Do I need to delete something with Astro?
Thanks,

my experiences in situations like this, you need to get rid of your backup and do a full clean boot. you can use astro to backup your apps, but as far as data, i have never been able to use a data restore- best suggestion- store as much on mmc as you can that way there is not that much to restore- just use astro to fine the file and open it again---
hope it helps
How I can backup aps with astro?

from astro, hit power button (to bring up sub menu) tap tools and that will give you the app manager/backup option.
I have CM7.2 and clockworkmod recovery. I've noticed recently that I'll snyc my facebook contacts, set my keyboard under settings, etc. If I reboot, all of that is gone. I have to uninstall facebook app and re-install to resync everything, I have to go into settings and re select my keyboards.
When I first flashed CM7 I did a full data wipe and rest, cleared cache, etc. I use Titanium Backup for scheduled backups if that matters. I don't actually know if other things are getting reset as well wen I reboot, but those are the obvious things I notice.
I would really like to avoid having to wipe this all and start from scratch.
Thanks in advance
Are you using something like s2e / apps2se? If so you may need to have Facebook data saving in internal memory rather than on the SD card.
That's about all I can think of, but hopefully it helps.

Yes, I do use apps2sd and have facebook saved to SD. I'll change that and see if it helps.
This actually doesn't make a lot of sense to me. And unfortunately, FB takes up around 12 MG on my phone, so I was trying to keep it on my SD. After I reboot, if I go into FB, it's set to don't sync contacts, even though I had previously set it to sync all contacts. I figured once the SD card is remounted, the synced info would come back.
Also, still not sure why my keyboards are all unchecked after reboot. Am I required to have Android Keyboard installed?

Unfortunately, that is the way it is if you move Facebook or Twitter app to SD and after reboot you will have to enter username and password again. My understanding is because of security concern.
You have your keyboard installed to the sdcard as well which is why you have to select it again on reboot.

Today i saw the 2nd version of cm7 rc is released with fixes.
i downloaded and installed with wiping all and formatting system...
but when i installed rom, i saw some settings still keeping on rom.
such as my wifi pass or some contacts etc..
i surprised and decided to install stock rom with flash tool, and after that install cm7
but still same thing happens.
when i wipe cache wipe data factory reset and format system, why this happens?
The reason why some contacts were not deleted could be because they were saved to your sim card. Which is not changed during a format/wipe.
As for your wifi pass, host machine could have recognized ur mac address and added you to the safe list or the settings may have been saved on ur SD card because some setting are saved under .android and .android-secure
but there are no contacts in my sim card.
and i formatted my microsd (.android and .android-secure deleted)
Isn't it because of Google Sync ?
Sent from my LG-P970 using xda premium
maybe contacts. but wireless pass?
Did you miss the dalvik cache wipe maybe? To me it looks, like you forgot something
i didnt forget but it says "E: no dalvik cache on sd-ext" like this
that's because arcee didnt removed all of the un used options...i think

In Definitions -> Privacy (I have this in portuguese so I don't know the right terms)
In the first option "make a copy" or something, there refers also backing up wifi passwords... Did you had this checked?
thanks
谢谢你们的和做
Is for backup to the google account , you can disable it in settings, privacy.

I followed this guide http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1561816 and it didnt not work. The problem now is that my phone (Incredible S) booted in the previous rom version and it was like everything was deleted!! The problem is that my SD card is still full of the same data that I had before!! so my questions are:
1) Since all my data is there, why does it not show up in my application menu or my gallery (pictures/videos/music etc etc??)
2) where are my contacts stored in INTERNAL memory, so I can just copy paste the contacts file? (note: I have no gmail sync account)
Thanks

When you Wipe Data in recovery mode, that is the same as a system reset and it removes all of your apps and internal data. Hopefully you made a nandroid backup in recovery mode before you stated this process, right? If so, just restore the backp. If not, then you have lost your contacts. Live and learn.
Hi all.
My GT-I9000 had been working fine with Cyanogen mod 9. Until about a week ago, the phone gave low memory warning in the notification bar. The notification persisted despite having uninstalled several unused apps. And finally the day came that apps keeps crashing until the point that apps would refuse to launch. So I thought I'll simply need to reboot the phone to refresh the memory, but what happened was I was forever stuck in Cyanogen mod 9 boot animation and could only get away with a battery pull. I'm definitely sure that I still have plenty of space left for apps/data/media. I would be much appreciated if some one could point out the cause and how to solve it. My phone could still enter Clock Work Recovery and despite having tried reflash Cyanogen mod 9 from CWM menu, that didn't solve the problem, neither did clear dalvik cache.
Yhaa it's annoying

I think it's because of the datadata partition is ful, and instead of deleting apps you can just move them to sd.
For now you have tow options, 1. delete all user data factory reset, wwich will delete all apps including data.
2. delete menual some apps from /data/app, you can do so with aroma file manager using costum kenels.
e.g. semaphore

Thank you. I will later try one of your solutions later.
But first, some questions. Since you said the data/data partition can be fulled. Does that mean I've reached my limit of app installation? Indeed I don't have that many apps.
Factory reset seems to be a simple solution. But since I have no chance to make data backup with titanium. Does my apps data be backup by google backup service?

Just bit the bullet and did a factory reset. I re installed the app one by one. Their data is backed up by either google backup service or their corresponding cloud service. Good as new and happy again.

You can try with a wipe cache+dalvik in recovery mode, if it doesn't work, try with a wipe data+cache+dalvik or reflash the ROM

Tnx for the reply. Yep, I've tried reflashed the rom (as mentioned in the original post) and that didn't help. The most important thing is now I'm back to normal again. This time I'll try to move any big apps (sygic...) to external SD card. Luckily the apps I use have their backup taken care of by cloud service.
