First of all, what is a Wipe?

A Wipe is a cleanup, which in some cases involves erasing all the contents of a file, partition, folder or whatever.

Wipes Listing:

Wipe data / factory reset:

Erases all our information and leaves the cell as factory or if you put any other rom leaves it with the newly installed rom.

It’s recommended when we want to change rom (clean install) or if we broke something in the OS as it returns everything to original state.

Caution:

Make a Backup!

Wipe cache:

The cache is a memory that stores some settings of all apps, including the operating system, kernel, and games ... to access more quickly to these files later.

It’s recommended when we flash any zip. Recommended!

It doesn’t hurt!

Wipe Dalvik-Cache:

Dalvik is another cache. So it’s recommended when we flash any zip and

it doesn’t hurt!

Wipe SD: Ext Partition:

It recreates the partition table so just use it when the HOW TO say or if you move from different versions of ROMs.

ADVANCED

Wipe Battery stats:

Displays the amount of battery charge remaining, when you are full, low remaining alerts… these values may be altered causing malfunction of alerts.

It’s recommended when we change ROM, Kernel or a patch.

Extreme situation

Wipe rotate settings:

Saves the accelerometer, altimeter and other sensors. This cleaning restores their values again.

It’s recommended when we change ROM, Kernel or a patch.

It doesn’t hurt!

[XDA-University] tarryl:
something I was unclear about so I did a bit of searching
[XDA-University] THeLogiC:
Just a suggestion that Google admitted that wiping battery stats doesn't do any good to anything and in latest version of cwm, that option has been removed tooo.
[XDA-University] SferaDev:
It doesn't hurt just is not recommended a usual activation of the wipe. As you are hiding info to the system. Edited!
[XDA-University] pandaball:
Wiping battery stats removes the batterystats.bin file, which contains low level info about which process did what for how long. Does nothing related to actually keeping track of the battery level, that stuff is in the kernel through fuel gauges and the like. See https://plus.google.com/u/0/105051985738280261832/posts/FV3LVtdVxPT
[XDA-University] aa84:
what about /system

it does not get formatted when performing "wipe data/factory reset", and some devs recommend formatting it. The rom installation may do it automatically.

Right! That's a wiki! Thank you for your feedback and for reading!

Hi,

I have One X with Original HTC Car Charger.

I have Mazda 3 also.

When I Charge the phone in the car, i have lower quality of radio sound.

Some static low noise.

When i'm far from reception of RF, i lose signal, if i disconnect the charger i get another 20 minutes of FM radio.

Anything I can do about it ?
[HTC One X] BenPope:
Try moving the phone further from the radio or changing the orientation of the phone. Or is it literally only when charging?
[HTC One X] Chura:
Only, And honestly i can see why.

but i wonder just how to solve it ...

I haven't seen Ubuntu in a while.. I'll see what you have here in January. I don't have a daily driver SK4g anymore with a sim in it, but I'll give it a peek...

Ya I got my backup laptop dual booted Ubuntu 11.10 & Windows 7. Its running a weak 1.5ghz AMD E1 processor and 2 GB of ram. I'm not even 100% if my backup laptop could handle a full compile without it crashing. My broken laptop has 8gb RAM and a 1.8ghz AMD E2 Processor (2.3ghz turbo boost) and I got a complete build environment set up on it. I can't wait to get it back :-/
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] RicAndroid:
Hell....I have a laptop running dual boot of Windows xp and MacPup 529. NO WAY it'll be able to compile. It'll gasp and ask me, "WTF do you want from me???" :rolleyes:

Question...would the Epic 4G have the Samsuck drivers? I saw a CM 7 release and was just wondering.
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] SammaelAkuma:
I know how you feel. :( My PC just got a generous upgrade for its age. Went from 256MB of RAM to 768MB to 1.5GB. Still stuck on a Celeron at 2.93ghz. And only have 40gb HDD to work with. I can't run much at once. Still lags even with the 1.5GB of RAM. But, eh, can't complain. Computer only cost me $40. Neighbor sold it to me since she didn't use it.

But, anyways, hope this compiles well for you when you get your compile environment back and running. And best of luck.
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] ged92781:
Here are a few questions from a non-dev: what drivers are causing problems for getting CM7 running properly on the Sidekick?

Also, how powerful of a PC spec-wise do you need to compile a build of Android?
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] mjsell2:
Ged....from my trolling and the little playing I have done....1) screen. 2)keyboard, 3)jump button, 4) reiserfs. I'm sure there are more issues, but that is where most of the devs have gotten stuck. I tried working on a cm9 build, but couldn't get anywhere with it because of work and family...and I mean nowhere as it I decompressed the base and started looking at it before I got tied up.
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] RicAndroid:
ged, xda actually released a YouTube video explaining what is needed to compile.....the link is not posting for some reason. Damn you, Sidekick... ugh.

ANYWAY.... you would need at least 4 gigs of RAM and Ubuntu. You also need to be familiar with the terminal commands and have tons of hard drive space available.

EDIT: Here it is.........Compile Android

I have enough HD space but not enough memory. :(
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] Tsloble:
Hey guys, I haven't been much help around here.. and I'm not sure today will change that. If the compile process is easy enough to learn and I can run ubuntu through virtualmachine then I will be more than happy to do this process for you. My computers run 8 & 9 GB ram and have over 500 GB hdd space to play around with.

I have never used ubuntu, thus never used terminal, and have obviously never compiled but I am pretty sharp at following directions and have a pretty good technical discernment. Let me know if you need me

To be honest I don't even know what a device tree is haha but if its something that will move along development I'll dedicate some time to it

A device tree is a device specific set of code that is scaled back or up depending on the device and is used for AOSP Development to get AOSP/CM/PA booting correctly. That is the untechie definition :P

Partition your hard drive and boot straight into Linux. At best, you will only be able to devote half your machine's resources to the VM. You don't want to waste resources or deal with the hassle of configuring a VM.

Just map it to a search key.

In fact, you should probably map your "Multitasker" key to search on your Sidekick. That way, when the screen is closed, you can press and hold the search key to launch apps--such as a voice search. It still works as a shortcut key when keyboard is open. Get Prehome and double tap home to see recent apps.

my system specs are amd 6 core 1055t overclocked to 3.5ghz with 8 gigs 1600mhz corsair dominator ram, im downloading ubuntu 12.10 desktop to run in virtual, i also had 1.5 TB storage, would that be enough to get started playing with compiling? ive been wanting to try for awhile, just need to grab a few things all im going to try my hand at rom building, i know nothing about it but hey, gotta start somewhere right?
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] Exit_Only:
That is more then enough to compile.
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] RicAndroid:
Nice, dude. Good luck. I'm going to get a new desktop soon. It's going to be minus the optical drive since I already have an external DVD writer. Like a netbook.

We can try and work as a team here and get this going! Mind you, I have zero experience with compiling. I was determined to learn how to use Android kitchen and I did it.
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] Exit_Only:
I can't believe I've only gotten one thanks for this device tree. Does anyone realize how much work and time goes into something like this? This is probably why no devs are developing for this community. I'm not asking for any donations just a thanks button hit by grateful xda members.

Well these are the same people who ask "Why doesn't the sidekick have any aosp ROMs like cm6 or cm7?" I'll keep the device tree posted for another week then I will be removing it. I will not be compiling anything for this community due to the lack of thankfulness. Its really sad I don't even have the motivation to even help this community out any further.
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] shadowscott:
I appreciate everything you guys do, from re-uploading links and doing this device tree. The issue is that there are limited people even on these forums anymore. And the amount of thanks and credit you will get is lower just due to that.

Plus, most users who do install custom ROMs aren't going to be the ones meddling with device trees or downloading multiple versions of kernels and whatnot.

That's just my theory

(don't let what I said hinder the fact that I DO appreciate all you guys are doing)
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] orange808:
Must be the holidays... everybody is bickering about how little they are appreciated. :)

Speaking of appreciation, when is xda going to add a Relay forum? CM9 is already getting traction. Needs a forum.

Anybody compiled and booted this yet? I have a sneaky feeling I am the only one that even plans on checking it out at all.
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] RicAndroid:
I may just break down and spend the extra cash for a Relay....it is $199.99 with my partial discount here in PR.The Sidekick 4G forums have too much drama and lack of support by the users. I should say...there are a few users here that are cool.

Just buy the Nexus 4 from Google.
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] nxd:
Posts here tend to build up thanks over time.

Does it have some ongoing cost to you to leave the device tree in place? Punishing people for not thanking you sufficiently is unseemly. Let your contribution yield results as is, or move it farther along, and you will get incrementally more.
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] Exit_Only:
If my time and effort isn't appreciated within this community then why waste my time? I've done other projects for other communities and I got over 270+ thanks for one project in 2 months . Sense I don't want donations I expect users to at least take 2-5 secs to hit the thanks button. If they can't do that then this project was a waste of time.
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] ged92781:
I appreciate all that the devs, past and present, have done to make the SK4G a better device. It's simply awesome compared to how it was originally released by T-Mobile and Samsung.
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] djh:
This is ridiculous... How old are you? 'They don't thanks me, so I'll delete my device tree!'. Looks pretty immature to me. Anyway, most of people here are just simple users of SK4G. They don't know Linux, they can't compile, they don't know what IS a device tree. So why thanks? I'm sure there could be thanks and donations for finished CM7 ROM, but for that...

[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] nxd:
Perhaps it could have been. But I tend to think solid results come from solid motivations.

That being said, if anyone still has a copy of the archive, bear in mind the android device tree is under open source license, and thus everyone else has the right to use and build upon that work.
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] Exit_Only:
Actually you would be very very wrong. Parts of the device tree fall under apache licensing. The kernel source is the only GPL part of my device tree. However if someone has this archived then they have my 100% blessing to use this as they see fit.
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] nxd:
I'm confused... are you asserting that the Apache license is not an open source license?
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] Exit_Only:
Read up on the full definition of apache for yourself
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] nxd:
Oh, I have... to my reading the Apache license itself is clearly a F/OSS license. Hence my confusion.

Did you choose to release your device tree modifications under a different license? Which, if so?

I know it seems fussy, but it's worth being clear about licensing.
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] Exit_Only:
How do I explain this. The kernel is the only part of android that BY LAW has to be released. And any said modifications of any of part of the Linux base. Google CHOOSES to make android open source. No where in apache licensing does it say you have too. Now in the spirit of openness of which android is based on (thank you Google) I gave my blessing on this device tree for anyone to use. Without any strings attached.

Hi guys,

Should i upgrade the radio to latest (or another???).

Why?

Tapatalked with my HTC Desire

Yes, you should. Many Devs recommend it.

You need the 5.17.05.23 radio.

I could only find one with the old edify script, so can't flash it :(

Where I can find the latest radio with new recovery script?

Or should I flash the img it via fast boot? Which is better?

I am on data++ hboot, do I need to revert to stock?

Edit: found on http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=687464

that I need to flash with fast boot because I have 5MB cache, so the zip with edify script is enough, I just extract the img.

[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jmcclue:
U can flash it in recovery as a zip file but only using an older version of clockworkmod recovery 2.5.0.7

installing rom without uninstalling anti-theft program

Let me start telling that i forgot to uninstall an anti theft program before flashing` cm-10.1-20121228-UNOFFICIAL-gio.zip`.

So i had my phone rooted with a program from the android marked,

II had installed ` signed_cwm-5.0.2.7-flashablezip-ext4+rfs.zip` .

I had installed rom manager from android marked as in xda- guide .

installing went ok,but after manualy rebooting the phone it stayed with a blue circling logo on the screen...

has that anything to do with the uninstalled anti theft program?

thanks for some advice.

So has anyone stumbled upon a way to add non B&N Apps's etc to Recent Drawer ? Since it sits there anyway I thought I might get a bit broader use from it.
[Nook HD, HD+ General] HiddenG:
Unfortunately as for me, no. However, I have downloaded an app known as "TaskSwitcher" and I use that as a way to multi-task on the Nook HD+. Also it can close apps by just holding the icon down, so it's an effective switcher and manager.

Although it would be great to use B&N's recent app drawer, I think they've just modified it too much. Perhaps we can eventually modify it ourselves and get other apps to display.
[Nook HD, HD+ General] roustabout:
Take a look at Recent Plus, too. Haven't used Task Switcher, but RP shows both Android and BN apps, and actually works better for resuming a Flipboard session than the BN app drawer does - the BN app drawer takes me back to the top of the news, where Recent Plus drops me back to the article I was reading.
[Nook HD, HD+ General] lkmiller:
Since its gimped as a Recent Drawer, I actually changed it to the Reading Now button. Clicking on it let's me choose either the BN stock reader or another reader I've installed (Mantano) to open the last book I was reading. Go to Settings > Applications > Home and unchecked Show my Recent Drawer.

I've been using CM10 on my Milestone for a month and it's really not fun. I have partitioned my sdcard with swap, I know it doesn't speed anything up, but keeps the phone alive with lots of apps running.

It often takes a few seconds before anything happens (starting apps, pressing menu, pressing home...), and then everything is still mostly slow and lagging. You often have to kill background applications (press hold home, clear list) or else the phone is going to stall on you. Answering calls takes 3+ rings before your phone wakes up and you are able to pick it up.

If you are curious, try for a week, but I don't really recommend it.

Do a full nandroid backup and give CM9 and/or 10 a try. Of course it is designed to run on newer phone, but it performs well on the milestones with swap and Lightning Launcher and very stable.
