would like to have another app that does almost the same as Titanium Backup. Does anyone know if there is one?
eg removing the system apps and cleans Dalvik cache etc.

i just want to know if there are some app like TB pro but FREE...
If I uninstall an app without clearing the app's cache, will Android automatically delete the cache too when it uninstalls the app?
Or is it best to manually delete the cache before uninstalling an app?
No, the app cache will persist until you clear it manually (doing a full wipe, wiping the cache or deleting app data when you uninstall it).
Sorry, forgot to ask, doing a cache wipe through CWM, will it delete my progress made in games?

No. The cache is different from the app data.
you must clear cashe manually and no save games wont go away
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?

Factory reset wipe data, but not system, you need to format system and data

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

Today I received a msg for the disponibility of an update for BlissPop-v4.0.3-i9300-NIGHTLY-20151008-0524 already installed on my I9300.
How can I flash it?
Thanks in advance
Go to recovery wipe cache & dalvik cache. Install new version. Reboot...
But clean install is best.
