nothing at all
The non wipe version of a rom doesn't delete anything on your phone ...no data, no phone numbers, no messages ...nothing

Nothing ????? even the apps.......???
The system Apps are overwritten... the system data is untouched...
for example dependening on the stock ROM version you have flashed... a system app (e.g. browser or calendar)... might have a newer/older/same version than the previous rom...
but the browser bookmarks or the calender entries wont be lost...
this apply's to non-wipe ROM....
clear as mud??
As I said befor:
"nothing at all"
As for apps it will replace the system ones but those you have installed from the market etc will remain as is.

First of all sorry for my bad language
I've a Lg 2x (Aka Optimus Dual) temasek's UNOFFICIAL BUILD, now i saw an update from temasek. I'm asking how i can install the new room file as a simple update without losing any app/contact etc.
Well if it's possible what's the correct way to do an update of a custom Rom ?
Very thanks,
Sorry for the question but i've googled and nothing, also searched here but nothing
if its a update of the same build jus erase cache and dalvik cache and install the rom. then ur data remains untouched. but if the rom is different u need to full wipe. data will be lost. but u can sync contacts to gmail and retrieve back any time.

What does errase cache and dalvik cache do? Does the settings stay the same or do you have to set them again when you update? If it delets settings...can you update without errasing cache?
Nope...clearing cache and dalvik cache only wipes unimportant info...your settings will be there as long as you don't press factory reset...

exactly. but look for the requirements for the update. sometimes even updates may require data wipe if the dev states it.

All the above is good and true. I'd like to add that I always make a ROM backup with ROM Manager before I update my ROM. That way, if something should go wrong, I can get back to where I was before the update.

Dude you could just install Titanium Backup from the play store and back up all the apps and data you want to. And yeah, your device needs to be rooted. Cheers.
Well wanted to ask that after about 2-3 months of usage of my phone..trying out stuff..installing and deleting stuff..trynng out few roms/kernels, does the performance of the phone get affected ?
back to my original question, should i just perform a full wipe and reinstall rom and kernel? will i see any performance difference..just like after many months, we format our pc system and reinstall windows..
thanks

I find that if ur switching to a new base, ie 4.0.3 > 4.0.4 or uve been flashing lots of different roms etc doing all the wipes ensures a smooth install. So if u wipe data/factory reset, wipe cache, wipe dalvik cache and format system in CWM u get rid of any leftover files, previous kernel tweaks etc u know ur good to go. As long as u backup ur launcher setup, sms (Using sms backup and restore), apps + data plus wifi access points in TB pro ur phone should be pretty much back to normal, only annoying thing is sorting out all the settings and the time it all takes

Doing a full wipe always helps, and for backup and restore app i would recommend Go Backup. True, it has less options than Titanium, but it does back up sms, contacts, apps and more. All in 1 app and it's free. Give it a try
If your not moving to a diff ROM then I would rec just using cache cleaner from the play store. Keeps the fone running sweet!

When we reboot into cwm recovery to install our selected roms, do i need to wipe the data and cache AFTER or BEFORE i install the roms / gapps that i want to? Need help here !
- One more, those who are experience like me when i installed (cm10 port by Psyke) noticed that music app does scan SD card, but then no songs are shown when the app launches, thus leaving it to be blank / left only symbols at on top of the screen . Is really music doesnt work yet for the beta release? thanks for any response

If it's the next version of the current Rom you have, then wiping /data and /cache partitions is not nessesary. If it is an entirely different Rom then you should do a wipe as the phone won't boot properly.
As for your second query, a temporary solution is to use a different media played. I had the same problem with the initial cm10 builds for the galaxy s3.

Data cache partition
Erm ok. But wiping cache partition doesnt really wiping my items in SD card right ? and u said if other roms need to wipe the datas and caches but i need to do it BEFORE or AFTER i install the rom? i mean before we install i need to press the wipe data n cache OR after i install wipe data n cache?

Wiping /data and /cache doesn't wipe your sdcard content. It only wipes your installed apps and its data.
Doing a wipe before and after doesn't matter. But generally we do it after flashing a ROM.

You can restore the backup with out data wiping since cwm recovery wipes /data and /cache before restoring a backup.

Hey guys,
I have had some issues with my current ROM. I want to change the ROM. I am looking to switch to OMEGA.
How would I do this, I currently have AROMA rom. Should I do a factory reset the just reboot into recovery mode and install that way? Or will just installing the ROM from zip work? Or if I do a factory reset do I need to root it again with Odin, or will I not need to root it?
Also for wiping the phone should I wipe my SD card? Or no?
Thank you I searched and found half answers for most of this.
You have to format /system partition and /data partition in order to get a clean ROM, otherwise you may run into some unforeseeable problems.
Don't have to wipe sdcard
Most ROM except stock are pre-rooted.

Ok just to double check what your saying.
I should do a wipe using the built in android factory reset.
Then just install the ROM using the recovery boot.
I will not have to use ODIN or any other soft ware. Just factory reset and install rom.
AW: [Q] Switching ROM and wiping
I'd factory reset in recovery, wipe cache and dalvik, format system and then flash the new ROM from your external sdcard
Please report if that way worked for you
But be sure to backup your apps with titanium backup

He's talking about wiping in recovery.
Dalvik, is kinda Java virtual machine on android, it does concerns you...
About ROM, I suggest you try them out all, and then you will find your Mr.Right, or Ms.Right

Nobody can tell you which rom is better .. All roms are amazing because of the work put into them try them out one by one.. you're not going to lose anything..
Ok cool. I installed OMEGA and I like that rom. I did a factory reset and wiped the Dalvik cache and cache. Will look around a bit more but so far so good....
however same issue with the phone. But now when the call ends it says process com.android.phone has stopped. Then i hit ok and phone is ok. It doesn't automatically restart then go really slow.
No idea about this, I searched however couldn't find a answer. Lots of phones and versions of android had this issue.
Any ideas would be great guys.

You need to go into mounts and storage in recovery and format system and data before you flash, as already explained

Is that different from what I did?
I booted into recovery. Did a factory reset. Wiped Cache and the Dalvik Cache. Then I installed the rom, did I do this wrong?

why not you backup your current rom first then try to flash a new rom without wipe data. if you not facing any issue on the new rom, then it's ok.
if you facing any issue, you must flash again the new rom with wipe all data. if you not happy with both, then you restore back what you are backup before.:fingers-crossed:

Yes I did. I factory reset. wiped cache and dalvik as well as formatting in the advanced options. I currently have Omega 44.2 installed. But I had the iphone app crashing with AROMA 30.1 and 30.4
Is there away to uninstall the phone app and then re install that cleanly?
I did this and still have the phone crashing issue.
Settings/apps/all/phone/wipe app data, likewise do same with contacts, reboot, see if that solves it

There is no white data. only buttons available are force stop and clear data. If I press clear data it says all data will be deleted permanently including all files, settings accounts, databases. I assumed the files were the actual app.
I went to settings. Applciation manager and chose Phone.
......hit clear data then, do that for phone and contacts storage, the data bases get rebuilt the only thing you will have to set up again is which contacts to display and any ringtone options etc you may have chosen

So,
As title states... if I flash JB through ODIN, will the phone reset? meaning all apps, docs, pics etc are gone?

Flashing a JB firmware via Odin will usually NOT wipe ur data. But if you upgrade from ICS to JB without a factory reset (or full wipe), you are bound to face issues like crashes, freezes, lagginess, instability and poor battery life. So, a factory reset is recommended before or after flashing JB. You can backup all ur apps, contacts, calendar entries, messages, bookmarks, notes, call log etc before flashing. Your files, photos, videos etc will be safe.

Yeah.. problem is I can't open any app cause I get the "app has unexpectedly stopped"... So I can't backup anything.. I've searched for a solution but it seems like the only option is to factory reset
When going from ICS to JB is best to TB all your stuff, go for wipes and and put in the new one. Then you can TV all your stuff back (titanium back that is)

Download Go Backup and do backup of all your phone Stuffs after that do Factory reset. You can also do Wipe Cache from recovery mode.
Good luck
