if i WIPE DALVIK, BATTERY AND CACHE it delete my games or prosses in the games i have?
ty for helpers
NO they will not be deleted. Wiping dalvik, cache or battery stats doesn't effect you applications.
what it means flash/boot ?
i had seen on some rom posted that before installing wipe/ boot !!
what does wipe/ boot means, i had wiped all cache, battert, dalvik..

Wiping only dalvik, cache and boot stats won't delete any app or app data from the phone....Wiping Data is the one which does that
Wiping of data is needed to uninstall any installed apps before doing a fresh/clean install of a new ROM
Otherwise it's most probable that the new ROM gets installed wrongly (except cm7 nightlies)
So before flashing new ROM do-
Data wipe,Dalvik, cache, battery stats wipe

Press thanks button if I helped you
I have TWRP 2.2.1 installed, unlocked bootloader and rooted, I want to install a new ROM but I want to do a full wipe as per the installation instruction.
In the Wipe Menu I see 6 different options. Which ones do I wipe for it to be a full wipe?
Cache (I can probably wipe this)
Dalvik cache (I can probably wipe this)
Facory Reset
System
Exernal Storage (I probably don't need to wipe this)
Internal Storage
Thanks,
Richard
A full wipe is factory reset.

Not true, A factory reset wipes data, and cache. A true full wipe is System, data, and cache. When doing this I usually click on factory reset twice and then system twice

And I'd throw "System" in there for good measure.
Thanks guys. Worked like a charm.
There is a mod you can flash that does the same thing called superwipe
Sorry to bump this, but factory reset WILL NOT erase media on phone, right?
No, it will not. ONLY a SD card erase will wipe the media.

I use swm6180_superwipe between flashes. Not sure that it's necessarily any better than using the wipe option in TWRP, but here's a link. https://db.tt/lAVSMRwY
I wish I could remember what thread it was from so I could link you to it directly, but it you find it make sure you thank swm6180.
sorry to resurrect this yet again but dose swm6180_superwipe still work? i used to use one on my galaxy s2x but that one no longer works i have been told.
full wipe!" i must to select all ? :dalvik , data, internal storage, cache, usb otg )? and " system " no correct?
I assume the advantage of using the full wipe zip is how fast it works. What else is recommended to wipe before flashing a new rom. What I have been doing is flashing the wipe zip, then formatting system, cache, and data, then wiping dalvik cache. Is all that necessary? Should I also be doing a full wipe/ factory reset? Thanks in advance.

I believe the zip you are referring to is Bills fullwipe zip. It wipes everything needed to flash a rom except dalvik cache. So, flash the zip, wipe dalvik, flash your rom.

Yes, sorry, its Th3Bill's zip, but I got it on Joker's site. So its normal for it to wipe superfast, like in a few seconds? What about formatting system, data, and cache, is that not needed either?

Nope, that's the three it wipes. And yes a few seconds is normal. Only thing you might wanna wipe is dalvik.
But, I mean there is the full wipe/factory reset, and then under mounts u can manually format each one. What is the difference between formatting and wiping?

For our usage, not much difference.. But technically, wiping referrs to 'deleting' everything there. Deleting makes something disappear, but doesn't make it nonexistent. It just tells the system that this space can be used for other things now. Until the the given sectors where the data resided are used to write something else, the deleted items technically still exist. Formatting, on the other hand, goes through every sector and writes over it with 'blank' data, securely making the data unrecoverable (for the most part).
How can you relate this to your phone? Well, if you are installing a new rom, wiping the data is sufficient. If you are getting rid of your phone for whatever reason, formatting is suggested.
Ok, thank u for the clear explanation.
So many answers but what is now an real Full Wipe?
As per my knowledge,
Full Wipe means, cleaning the old ROM information in the mobile.
If you want to know the process for Full wipe, you can check it here.

Just reboot into recovery (custom kernel not stock recovery) and use the Wipe data/factory reset option. You can also do extra wipes like described above if yo wish but in most cases just the wipe data/factory reset will suffice.
Hello
is it true that after a new system update you should wipe the cache partition?
Thanks

It is not necessary to wipe cache partition and dalvik cache but I recommend you to wipe those cause The updated system is not totally optimized and the consequences will be some freezing and lag when you open apps. So The best choice would be wiping cache and data partition. And let the phone like new. A backup is necessary when you wipe data.
