THanks bro for your explanation. I think I get the idea now..
So, my situation is I'm on Wanamlite 11.5 now... very happy with this shy of some buggy things which is related to me not formatting the system cause what I did when I moved on to Wanam11.5 from CRRv6 was,
- Wipe Data/Factory Reset
- Wipe Cache
- Wipe Dalvik
- Install Wanamlite11.5 from internal SD card.
So, I'm afraid that (stupidly careless) misstep of NOT formatting system could be the cause of some minor bugs here and there. So, let's say I wanna install Wanamlite 11.5 again without having to set up everything again and install all the apps again is:
- Wipe System
- Wipe Cache
- Wipe Dalvik
- Install Wanamlite 11.5 from internal SD card.
Or should i do the factory reset again? I actually don't mind doing it... but if skipping this step would save me time from setting everything up again of course would be much welcomed... should I still wipe data/factory reset?
You should do a proper 'wipe' before installing a full-wipe ROM..
Go to clockwork mode recovery. Volume up, power button, and home button all pressed together for a couple of seconds
Go to mounts and storage and select it.
Go to format / system and select it. Scroll down to format system and select yes.
Go to format / data and select it Scroll down to format data and select yes.
Go to format / cache and select it. Scroll down to format cache and select yes.
That's it no need to format or wipe anything else, when you install the rom it will clear the dalvik, cache, and batt stats, just go back and install the rom from the internal or external sd card.
