[Guest rheumatoid]

There are several options in clockwork. What do I need to do out of the following to give me the best chance of not having any problems.

cache/data

davlik cache

factory reset

sorry but I can't find an exact answer by searching

Wipe everything, you can wipe battery stats too.

thanks, any need to reboot after doing this before installing the new rom or can I just go ahead after wiping?

[Guest mickey megabyte]

you shouldn't need to reboot between the wiping steps.

at least, i never have and things seem to work ok.

for best chance of having no problems: wipe everything (i.e cache/data and davlik cache and factory reset) also wiping battery stats will mean your new rom won't take as long to 'learn' your battery to give accurate readings. also to for best results: install new rom on a full charge

thanks but do I then need to reboot into clockwork before applying the rom or can I just go ahead after wiping?

wipe data and factory reset wipe cache wipe dalvik cache and battery stats if you want then install rom no need to reboot until rom has installed

[Guest hugobosslives]

no, don't reboot (i've never done this so i dunno what you'd get, but after wiping everthing, you'd have a pretty empty phone)

just wipe, then hit 'install zip from sdcard' then choose the rom (download one from here and then, after its installed, hit reboot. (NB first reboot will take ages)
