Hey guys,
So my Skwiftkey was acting up so I decided to clear cache in "manage apps". Instead of hitting "clear cache" I hit "clear data".
Now my keyboard doesn't show up anymore, I get that annoying message and also my phone isn't reading my SD card anymore :/
Appreciate any help
(I have CM10.1 installed)
Because SwiftKey go to settings > language & input > default
And set SwiftKey again (maybe activate, too.
For all the other prob try a reboot first.
If same problem go to recovery and wipe dalvik cache and cache one.

The problem seems to be that the phone outright doesn't read the SD card at all, doesn't even pick it up (however it can on ClockworkRecovery).
So I can't even backup my stuff to an SD card before I wipe cache or data and do another install.
Any ideas guys?

No, wiping cache and wiping dalvik cache won't delete the data or apps (only factory reset or format * would do)
So u can try this.
If u r able to access sd card in recovery and u have the zip from rom there, u can reflash Rom once (without wipe)
Just try this things and only if nothing works and no other idea comes, do a factory reset (not earlier)

Tried wiping dalvik and cache. Tried installing from sd card. Still didn't work!
And I can't wipe data because I need to backup my contacts and messages but I can't do that because my phone can't read my SD card and literally every backup app requires that I have an SD card inserted :/
Any other ideas guys? I could re do everything but I would need a backup, and without a backup I'm stuck with a useless phone

Something strange is happening to me. I always have installed 2.2 roms on my X10 mini pro with the same precedure: formating cache, wipe status and fotmating Dalvik cache and never had a problem; but now, with Gingerbread based roms, even doing the same, always appear my old installed apps and the roms don't work properly. I can't avoid this and I've installed roms even from the original stock rom and I can't solve it, i also tried to format the SD Card, and same...
Strange? Any solutions?
Thanks in advance!!
Weird.. never experienced that issue before. I've noticed gingerbread gives you a list of apps when you set up your google account. You can tick boxes and it will install the apps without having to bother with market - however, the 'modern' version of market doesn't like it and is sllllooooooowww.
If the phone/sd card is wiped I don't know how it keeps them. I can only think you could try to move the apps to sd and then format it, then reinstall the rom.

I've tried to move the apps to the SDcard, and still the same. Maybe if I don't tick the Google option about Security Copy it won't happen?
Even if I'm not logged in Google, when I've just installed the rom and the android symbol appears (Touch the android to continue), appears my previous installed app IMO+ and Advance task killer; and when I get the apps list, several of them still there, but withot data, only the apps.
Agree: New market sucks...
Thanks for the help bro!
Here it is what I do always I stall a new rom:
1º.- Recovery mode (Clockwork recovery)
2º.- Wipe data/factory reset.
3º.- Wipe Cache partition.
4º.- Wipe Dalvik Cache.
5º.- Install the rom from the SD card..
6º.- Wipe Data/Factory reset.
7º.- Wipe Cache partition.
8º.- Wipe Dalvik Cache.
And... tachaaaaaaaaaaaaan!! The previous installed apps still there, but no their DATA...
I experienced your same issue. Maybe CWR wipe does not wipe porperly.
I solved this way: extracted SD from mini and formated from PC.
Thanks, i'll try wiping with Xrecovery and if it doesn't work i'll format the sd in PC.
Thanks a lot!

Still using Xrec? Most ROM's now use CWM, D4rKn3sSyS recently released a dual recovery (xrec and cwm, depending on which button you press), it somewhere on page 1 at the time of writing. (sorry, im too lazy to go copy its link =P)

Yes, I know and I always use CWM, but when I wipe the apps don't dissappear, so I tried Xrecovery and a different version of CWM, but still the same.
My SD Card has a EXT partition for Link2SD from 2.1 Stock rom; maybe...?!
My SD had EXT partition too. When I formatted it from PC I deleted that partition. New custom ROMs don't need any more to have a different partition to install applications on SD.

Could well be that. Probably worth repartitioning the sd card on the pc.

Yes, I know, but I kept it just in case I got back to Stock Roms.
Thanks!! I'll try, but I'm sure that's the problem.
So soon I will be getting a Galaxy S III and I plan on selling my S II, I will be doing a Wipe/Factory reset however the internal SD card storage is always left untouch I wanted to have this wiped and clean back to the way it was when I first got it.
In the storage section of the phone they have an option that says Format USB mass storage, will doing this restore/recreate the folders and the layout of the phone to the way it was factory stock when I first got it as well as the obvious formatting it will do?. I don't want to do a format and its completely blank with no folders period.
Thanks.
OK. This is what I would do if I were selling mine; first go into CWRecovery and format cache, data, system, & internal sd card. Then flash stock rom in Odin, then use jig to reset flash counter if you like. Done.
That will give you a stock phone with nothing else on it.

Thanks but that doesn't actually answer my question, the rest of it I do know though and do so every time I flash new international firmwares. Need to know about the SDcard and what you get when you format, what folders if any?
Press volume up+ power + home key. Then clear cache, clear dalvik cache, Then factory reset. That's all it will be new but if you flashed many roms you should use a USB jig to Reset counter

Simply dialing a wipe code will do that for you, no hassle.
but tht does leave some files behind ,dosnt it...well i once formatted phone,int sd,ext sd an my phone was raw an dint even boot cause it had no os or any files , then i flashd the stock rom an it was ,"like outa the box"
but i always keep efs folder bckup ,on pc,ext hd cause its always safe...
dialing wipe code do data/cache wipe plus wipe of internal sdcard to factory defaults
Front to Back or Back to Front & Toilet Paper or Wet Wipes? Just Kidding!
When wiping via Factory Reset in TWRP what is the best way to insure everything is getting fully wiped except our external SD card. After I did a factory reset there was still everything on the internal sd card. Do any of you use the superwipe.zip?
What Procedures do you follow when switching Roms?

Factory reset wipes /data and /cache
after Factory reset, wipe System and you should be good to go on a new or fresh installation from zip. i dont think wiping boot is necessary but you can. so do
Factory Reset
System
Boot
Dalvik-cache is in /data so you dont have to wipe that.

This is the best, and also the quickest way.
Thanks for the help... I just don't understand why I have the following on my phone.
Sdcard - I understand that this is internal.
Sdcard2
Sd-ext.
Both the sdcard2 and Sd-ext have the same files on them, it has my music, some apk files, and my flash zip files. Now my poweramp player shows duplicate albums for all of my music stored on my external sd.
Any ideas

Sd-ext is or was the best way to move apps to the sd card. But with the new OS it isn't required if the app is made right

I factory reset twice, wipe dalvik twice and wipe system twice. I don't wipe cache since the factory reset does it.
Now that it was clarified dalvik is wiped with the factory reset I'll probably stop doing that. I just wish it clarified it since it specifically indicates the cache was wiped.

Hello
I recently rooted and flashed LiquidSmooth onto my SG3 I747M and i would like to get rid of all the junk on my internal harddrive. I was wondering what the procedure would be to wipe my internal harddrive (So i do not have any random folders or old app files) on TWRP without losing my custom rom and root. Would i have to save the backup (just incase), custom rom and root on my sd card and just install it right after I wipe my harddrive?
Any help with this would be greatly appreciated
Thank you!
Wipe cache and go to /system/app and /data/app and delete unwanted apps. That should be enough.

boot into twrp, go to the wipe menu, and wipe everysingle thing. Then reflash your rom. That will wipe everything, and reinstall liquid smooth.
Doing this wont brick your phone or make you lose root.

Thank you! This is exactly what i was looking for. What would i be wiping though? Obviously Cache, Dalvik and Factory Reset but do i have to wipe System, Internal storage and format data? (What does format data do)?

yeah wipe everything including system, and internal storage. format data formats the data partition of the phone, which is also necessary.
The only thing you dont have to wipe is your external sd card (if you even have one). Press thanks if i helped.
I'm sorry for such a stooped question.. but if I did a factory reset from settings on jb 4.1.2 will it wipe my internal storage ??
If yes how to format only the system without touching internal storage ?
No.It will not format internal sd card.It will only delete all apps,accounts and resets your settings.

Hmm, i think it's like this.
If you factory reset from settings, yes the phone will be like the day you bought it.
Although if you "Wipe data/factory set" from Recovery mode, it will only wipe the system storage (where all apps are located) and not touch your internal storage.
So if you want to wipe everything but your internal storage, do it from Recovery mode. If you do this and reboot, you will once again be asked to sign in with your google account etc etc..
Also if you do wipe data/factory set from recovery mode, be sure to wipe cache and dalvik cache, just to be sure you dont have anything left.
Factory reset in phone settings will also do the trick not wipe sd just data. No need to go to cwm :thumbup: as op put
Wait wait wait.
Doesn't wipe from settings totally wipe the phone? i mean internal storage (where all apps are) and internal sd card (where files and photos etc are stored)????????????????

No.Internal sd card is not deleted in settings as well as in recovery.
You have to format it manually if you want.

So if you choose "wipe data" instead of "format data" all your videos will be kept as well?? Or is it only for photos contacts and messages?? So are videos in your capture gallery saved after the "wipe data" or not??
