if you're already on 1.6.1 no need to wipe

oh is it

tats good

That's right, just remember to do the cache and dalvik cache wipes while you're still in the CWM recovery after flashing the updater. Just a best practices advice from all our testing! ;-)

Oh yeah, the first boot after wiping the cache and dalvik cache can take a while, so don't panic... it'll resume it's normal "speedy" boot times after that first boot... it just needs time to rebuild the cache and the dalvik cache on the first boot...

if update from 1.6.1 to 1.6.3 after flash need to wipe cache n dalvik cache??then the data will lost or not??

Download 1.6.3 updater version (Not the full version), then there is no need to wipe

I use switchpro widget which is similar to default power widget except it allows up to 8 selections

When you flash with the Overcome v1.6.3 Updater and not the Overcome v1.6.3 Full Install file, you would be performing an "upgrade" with your data intact. So, what I advised was, while you're still in CWM Recovery (as the Overcome v1.6.3 Updater can only be flashed in the CWM recovery...) you might as well wipe the Cache & Dalvik Cache (and those two only!)

Wiping Cache and Dalvik Cache will not wipe the data in your Tab. It'll clean up all the cached operating data that apps use during its day to day use. To use an analogy, it's like cleaning up your Temp Folders and the files that Windows caches in the "Prefetch" folder to speed up your boot/app use. It does not wipe user data. Of course, it'll take a while for the system to start up during the first boot, as the system needs to rebuild these caches, but it's building up again from the new system files and all the applications residing within.

It's just considered best practices, and have been found to eliminate some small problems and cruft that has been building up over time. It's not a REQUIREMENT, but do you notice that whenever there's a problem/issue on the XDA thread after a (upgrade) flash , the first thing we'd ask users to do, would be to wipe these caches, to see if the issues/problems persist? (If it's a full install, of course, the first question would be, "did you follow the guide?" ;-))

Added on April 27, 2011, 9:10 amYup, normally I'd do that too.. if there's an upgrade, I'd usually just do an upgrade. Saves time and the "lecehness" of backing up data, and restoring them, etc... But make sure it's from the same base, like a 1.6.0 or 1.6.1 to 1.6.3 upgrade, and not from a different base like 1.4.5 to 1.6.3. That would require a full wipe (and it's always recommended to follow the instructions from the guides found in the first post of the Overcome thread in XDA)

But once in a while, I'd always just do a restock and clean up my system, just like when you're using a Windows PC... after a while, most power users would just reformat their PC's and reinstall Windows from scratch again -- cleans out old rubbish accumulated, and starts a system clean and minty fresh again... ;-)

Just follow the guides there, and you should be fine...

Oh BTW, while the upgrades are constantly tested before release, sometimes a bug crops up that slips through the cracks of testing as well (seeing as we don't have a huge team to test... ) like the 1.6.2 update, it's always a good idea to sometimes do a nandroid backup (which is the backup tool you can find in the CWM recovery) before an upgrade. Just to be safe, and in case you need to revert back.

However, I know some don't do it, as the nandroid process can take a while... and sometimes in the rush to test things, I usually don't do it too, when it comes to an upgrade. It's an advice... but again, you need to know what you're doing to ignore conventional wisdom! ;-)

Exactly . Always always do a nandroid backup. It just takes 10mins. It could be a lifesaver

Hi Guys,

Where can get the lowest price with telco package?

update to 1.6.3..hehehe

guys i tried flash with odin and now it show a screen with phone and computer connected... wat should i do? i tried reflash but no luck...

Go to celcom. 12 months contract with 1gb internet allocation for just rm1118 at rm88 per month. Digi have this as well for rm1199 at rm68 per month for 12 months.

With celcom you will get to enjoy its superior 3G/HSDPA coverage.

Power off your phone, and power it back on. Power it back on by Press power+volume button down at the same time. When you see the computer--!-- sign release the buttons.

You are now in download mode, although you can't see the little android with the shovel. Connect it to a pc with an odin 1.7 open and you will be able to reflash it.

ya thanks ya i flash with only modem bin and successfully reboot...
but i tried to install overcome again and still it failed...
so i repeat the step and go back to normal...
which part i've wrong? i got my phone rooted, with bootloader updated from the one at xda..
