Hello,
I managed to root and install CM on my kindle fire. I also flashed Gapps to try something but I no longer want it. So, I used flashfire and reflashed CM and also chose "wipe" with system data and third party apps selected, but gaaps are still there when i reboot.
Anyone have any ideas to remove gaaps?

Wiping the system partition should have been sufficient. Assume you moved wipe action to the top of the FlashFire operations queue.
You can accomplish a more comprehensive wipe by placing the CM 12.1 zip on a removable SD card then wiping system, 3rd party apps, internal storage and dalvik. Be sure to queue up a ROM flash immediately following the wipe operation; otherwise you will end up with an 'empty' system and be forced to reload FireOS from the stock recovery menu.

Hi,
I am having major Force Close issues on multiple applications. I've posted my logcat here: http://pastebin.com/m51550315
I've tried doing a system wipe, installing the Android 1.6 Recovery image, installing the latest cyanogenmod MOD, wiping Dalvik cache and running fix_permissions but I get the same problems. When I follow these steps I am missing all of the Google apps and when I try to install them I get error messages saying that they can't be installed.
Is there anywhere else besides Dalvik cache that retains settings that will throw my phone off? It seems like even after doing the system wipe and Dalvik-cache clear there is something causing problems.
I have a Rogers G1 but followed Haykuro's root guide to change my radio image so that I don't need a custom kernel.
what exactly is the dalvik cache

A place where the system writes things about your apps. Every app you've ever had installed gets it's own little file in the dalvik-cache, wiping the dalvik-cache tends to fix issues with apps.
But wiping my Dalvik cache didn't solve the problem which is why I want to know if there is another cache that needs to be cleared or a better way to wipe previous data.
You could try to wipe the /data/data/

Sweet! Knew someone would know better then me!
Back under my rock I go...
I tried deleting /data/data, /data/dalvik-cache, reinstalling the 1.6 recovery, the latest Cyanogen ROM and then running fix_permissions but I'm still getting errors. I even get an error trying to open settings: "Sorry! The process android.process.acore has stopped unexpectedly. Please try again."
Is there anything else I should try clearing?
With everything you try, your ext partition is untouched. There is something left in there messing you up. Reformat your sd card. Then flash the HTC recovery, then Cyanogen, and you should be set.
BACKUP anything you want to keep on the sdcard first.
How do I know if my sd card has an ext partition? I haven't used apps2sd. When I get home from work I'm going to try a new sd card.
I tried a new sd card but that didn't have any effect. I cleared my dalvik cache and wiped /data/data and then updated my Cyanongenmod from 4.2.11.1 to 4.2.12.2 and the Force Close problems were solved.
I have some new problems now:
When I try to install apps I get the message "(application name) could not be installed on this phone"
I can't receive calls
My screen doesn't lock when I press the End Call button
My Home button doesn't return me to the Home screen
I'm guessing there is still something stored during updates. Any ideas?

I think you can probably fix this by flashing the HTC recovery image the CM 4.2.12.2 (probably do not need to wipe, but it would not hurt).

I've tried that and it didn't help. I've tried wiping, not wiping, using the defanged image, using the HTC recovery and I'm always missing the google apps.
Hi all, i installed the FroyoMOD 2.6.0 and its all good.
When i install one of the few next versions, i cant do a clean install.
After each installation, i still have all my apps and settings
Even after the three wipes.
Also when i try factory reset, still nothing.
The only thing i get after wipes or factory reset is to sign to my google account.
Any idea what can i do to get a pure clean install for the 2.7.0?

Do you have an ext2 partition? Because I have one and I'm wondering if, even after a wipe, all of my apps are still there because of my ext2 partition.
Yeap, ext2.
Tx, Shahar.
Sent from my SGT using my hands.
I'm really wondering if because our apps are moved to the sd-card, if that is what is making all of our apps get reinstalled on the first boot of a new ROM.. It would mean I don't even need to restore from TB, it's doing it already
Try re-flashing the 2.2.1 sbf with vulnerable recovery, then achieving root, then updating to froyo mod. If you need help refer to this thread (only the beginning after you achieve root then apply the custom rom) or if mine is too difficult to comprehend, there is anotehr guide in this forum. : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=932196 good luck
Using apps2ext means AOR cannot wipe your your app data and dalvik-cache because it looks for these on the phone, not on the EXT partition of your card.
So, before you flash a new ROM, manually delete the /app, /app-private and /dalvik-cache folders in /system/sd (or /sd-ext where applicable) to wipe these files off.
You can use Root Explorer or any similar app to do so.
Or if you use Linux, just mount the EXT partition and delete the files within.
Does anyone have any advice? My system was very stable, then I upgraded my uboot and flashed the 3.1 beta. The beta performed terribly, so I flashed back to the build in the title, and now all these force closes. I did install Pure Messenger and Pulse in the meantime and put up some widgets.
I'm planning to try out Phiremod on eMMC and see how that works out, but if there's a fix for this issue, I'd like to try it out. I have CWM on eMMC, but I'm thinking if I clear caches in there, it will be the caches in my stock OS install on eMMC, correct? Can I point it to the SD install?

Boot into Clockwork. Under Mounts / Storage wipe cache, then go into "advanced" and wipe dalvik cache (will cause your device to lock & need hard reboot). Then boot your machine as normal. Load time will be a little on the long side because your Nook will be rebuilding cache...perfectly normal. This has to be done when going back to the stables from the Beta CM7.

But again, with CWM on eMMC and CM7 on SD, won't that wipe the caches for the stock install on eMMC rather than for CM7?
That method did not work, btw, I'm guessing because it wasn't wiping the caches for the ROM on the card. Any way to do this for a verygreen SD install?

In terminal emulator, su then rm /data/dalvik-cache/*
Just go to settings, applications, manage application, in the all tab, find "media storage" if I remembered correctly, then go in and clear data, reboot then you should be fine.

I tried to set my nook+ up via the hybrid installation here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2300132. I used all the most recent files found on that page.
However, although I did install the gapps zip by downloading it with the stock nook, then selecting it at the cwm recovery(on the sd), I still dont have google apps. It says the file has been installed, but no apps or play store can be found on cm 10. Even worse, I cant boot back into the stock BN rom. I can go to cwm recovery and select the stock rom and/or make it default for boot up, but no matter what the device ALWAYS boots back into cm 10. Ideally, Id like to be able to have google apps running cyanogenmod, but feel like thats pretty much a pipe dream for now. I need basic step by step instructions(I'm a noob) to just undo everything and go back to running the stock nook rom, which with access to the google play store is way better than cm 10 without it. What do I do

Update I found the thread on system restore and downloaded the barnes and noble stock file. Booted up from the sd with cwm. Selected install zip from internal sdcard and the barnes and noble file. Directly after, I selected wipe data/ factory reset. After that, reboot system now. New nook firmware loads to 99% then gets stuck. Pros, WHAT DO I DO NOW? I can still boot into cwm recovery via the sd card, but the only options remaining are wipe cache partition, mounts and storage, and install zip from sdcard (because I did the hybrid installation, I dont have a rom on the card). Since I wiped data/factory reset (but not the cache partition) would the best thing be to take the sd card out and try to return it to B&N?

The problem is you used the CWM from the hybrid SD to flash the stock ROM. Then you factory reset using the same CWM. That factory reset does not wipe the stock, it wipes the hybrid.
You need to go to my HD/HD+ CWM thread linked in my signature and make a new bootable CWM SD per my item 1a. Then things are done to internal memory instead of hybrid. Then flash my plain stock zip from item 6, followed by a factory reset. That should fix your stock.

Hi,
from MIUI 8.2.0 global stable I have sucessfully installed CM 13.
Before the installation progress and after flashed TWRP3020 on the first window from TWRP, I have choosed to maintain a specific place "read only". I was insure, so I decided to do so.
Then I wiped the system with TWRP. I choose Dalvik, System, Data and Cache. Just in internal storage I didnt mark to wipe.
I have installed CM13 and Gapps. Everything goes fine. But the Theme-Designer (where to choose themes) allways fail to start. In another Mi5 pro (2 pieces here) I have made all the same like in this one, and the Theme-Designer starts normal.
So I find, that in my storage, there are many old files from MIUI. They are not deleted and I understand why. Because I didnt mark in TWRP to wipe the internal storage.
So I gone to the settings in CM to reset to factory settings and made it. After starting the phone I saw, that all the folders are still there.
Now I am affraid, that something in the storage makes the Theme-Designer crash. I dont have another explication.
And after the installation I made today a update OTA to the newest version of CM (08.09.16) and the problem continues.
Is there a possibility to make a real clean install, wiping all the storage without to buy a USB-Stick to put there the install files for CM13 and Gapps? Or not?
Or ist there another way, to wipe the data storage? If I would make this with TWRP, I think that CM wouldnt start, because the folder "Download" would also be deleted. Or is there another folder, that is protected, to put the files there?
And I also had problems with bluetooth with MIUI with my Volvo. And with CM13 the problem continues. Maybe it has to do with some old files from MIUI, that are still in the system.
Can someone help?
No idea? Or a good link?
After I have installed CM 13 and Gapps, what happens if I go in TWRP and choose to wipe internal storage? Do I have after that a clean install without traces of the old OS or is all gone and I cant boot?
You can go back to TWRP and wipe internal storage, you'll still be able to boot into the ROM.
