[LG Optimus 2x] dr4go:
[CWM-APP] full_wipe && easy_upgrade_wipe ZIPs [EXT2,3&4], last updated [2014-06-23]

Hello everybody! :)

I got inspired by mero01, who made similar tools for my previous mobile phone, the HTC Desire HD.

Imho a new version of an Android ROM should NEVER ever do a full wipe. Personally I prefer to wipe on my own AND to _personally_ have the option which file system is going to be used.

That's why I've created my own zip files, which do either a FULL_wipe or an easy_upgrade_wipe.

These zip files could work on multiple phones, but they are only tested and confirmed to be working on the LG Optimus 2x (P990). Just for the sake I've also implemented a check inside of them if that's the phone, which the wipe(s) are performed on.

**** !NONE WILL FORMAT YOUR SDCARD! ****

6. done :)
7. Don't reboot, flash any rom you want
8. Flash it
9. Reboot and have fun! ;)

FULL_WIPES

This patch comes in two versions (EXT3 and EXT4) and needs to be applied prior to the flash of any ROM. It will WIPE your device and format all partitions either in EXT3 or EXT4.

Wipes performed:

* SYSTEM

* DATA

* CACHE (always EXT3)

* Cleaned temporary SDCARD data ("/sdcard/.data/navigator/Data/Temporary")

EASY_UPGRADE_WIPES

These patches also come in the previous two versions (EXT3 and EXT4) and there is an additonal lite variation, which won't wipe your dalvik cache. Use the easy upgrade wipes if you DON'T want to remove your data (especially useful for ROM upgrades)!

Wipes performed:

* SYSTEM

* CACHE (always EXT3)

* non lite versions: Wipes the dalvik cache on DATA

* Cleaned temporary SDCARD data ("/sdcard/.data/navigator/Data/Temporary")

NO_JOURNAL

This won't do any wipes, but will remove the JOURNAL(S) on your file systems.

If it gets applied to EXT3 partitions it clearly results in EXT2 partitions.

You will get the fastest possible EXT* file systems if it is applied to the EXT4 partitions.

It can also be applied on already existing file systems, although I'd suggest to use a clean file system. Make a backup if you still want to perform it, because it can be dangerous!

Wipes performed:

* NONE
