Format it or repartition it. Repartitioning will wipe all the data on it.

This method works very well for me: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=4543184#post4543184

If you don't want to do that, try this: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=534714

You'll end up with clean formats and new partitions.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] LucidREM:
No Format Needed

no need to partition nor format the card .. useless suggestion based on your question .. option one you can use my script:

# lucid -c

or simply type all the codes yourself:

# rm -r /system/sd/app

# rm -r /system/sd/app-private

# rm -r /system/sd/data

# rm -r /system/sd/dalvik-cache

this is also assuming you have wiped the phone (ALT+W) or otherwise broken the symlink to the card and simply wish to start over with stock apps .. should you encounter any error messages similar to STALE NFS then you need to repair the second partition in order to delete .. this is normally associated with the /data section only

[Q],[UTIL] Best way to export complete system settings?

I'm a frequent rom flasher and I've been thinking that nandroid is great for immediate fixes but what I'd really like is a way to export all the current system settings and installed programs, including version numbers. If I had this in a .csv file, then each time before I flashed a new rom I could save the file so that I could track problems and programs instead of trying to guess which one is going to end up crashing the phone this time.

I did a general search of xda-dev and specifically the Dream forums but didn't come up with anything. I know various programs pull all this information for display but haven't found one that would export it all to a file. Or maybe someone has written a script already that does this?

Thanks,

Terry

Hey, I recently added the Chimera theme for my Cyanogen 4.0.4 (I'd highly recommend people checking it out - awesome theme and allows you to have up to 10 home screens, you can choose how many from the menu: http://alldroid.org/viewtopic.php?f=44&t=44). The only problem is that it came with a hideous lock screen background that I want to change or at least revert back to the normal lock screen (the screen you get immediately after you wake up the phone - it normally has the time, the network you're with and the words "press menu to unlock").

Does anyone know if there's anyway of flashing a new lock screen background to the phone, or is it going to require the whole theme to be recooked?

Cheers.

Got a question for all the android users out there:

I'm determined to use only wifi instead of 3g. This is a little difficult because have come across many wireless spots that require an initial signing in through a web browser before I'm online. Its not a problem if I want to surf the net, but it becomes annoying when all I want is to sync email.

Is there an application out there that automatically does an http request, sends my login/passwords, or agrees to some user-agreement.

Two places where this is useful - for me, it'd be at the university where I work at. Every time I turn on/off the phone, I have to sign on. Another place would be when I'm visiting places like starbucks, panera bread. I'd love to just turn on my phone, and wifi automagically logs in.

An expansion would be to automatically start VPN when one is at a particular hotspot.

Does android have an app like this?

[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alpha22:
Wipe your ext3 partition. Go to recovery screen, then console and type:

mount -o rw /dev/block/mmcblk0p2 /system/sd
rm -rf /system/sd/*
reboot recovery

Then wipe and reflash your rom and see how it goes.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] EvanPatrickSmith:
It might be because you didn't reboot after flashing the recovery image. I accidentally applied 4.1.99 without rebooting, but you have to reboot to refresh the radio. Also, 4.1.99 is based on Donut, so you must have 4.1.11.1 to apply 4.1.99 without a wipe. Just wipe, who cares... the market shows all of your recent downloads anyway, so even though all you applications get wiped out, its sooo simple to re install them. Takes about 2 minutes.
