Question about re - flashing the same rom

[coogrrr94]

I am using myns warm 2.2 rls 5. The first time I flashed it I did a cache and dalvic-cache wipe. On the myns thread on xda he suggests doing a data wipe also for "optimal performance."

If I want to go back and do the data wipe as well can I just wipe the cache, dalvik-cache, and data and re-flash the same rom I am currently using or would I need to restore a nandroid backup of a different rom first and then re-flash myns again.

Hope I was clear.

If you wipe data you'll erase your user settings.

If your'e not running great, just make a backup of your apps with titanium, go back in to recovery and erase the partitions you want, then re install and restore your apps

If its the same rom you should be fine but if you want to play it on the safe side flash back to stock first.

Reflashing it the way you said is perfectly fine.

Haven't delved into partitions yet, which partitions would I erase?

I will try this way first since I am most comfortable with it, I always have a backup to fall back on.

You can do it from rom manager, you can go to install myn's rom then when it's ready to reboot it'll ask you to wipe data and cache, you can just check yes.

Like I said though get a back up of your user apps b/c when data is wiped it will erase them.

If you want to do it from recovery reboot in to recovery and go to partitions and then you'll have a list of partitions and the option to format them.

Thanks for the info, and yes I downloaded titanium so I have been backing up my files with that.

Everything worked fine, had a couple widgets that weren't working at first and I couldn't change the wallpaper, but a reboot fixed those issues.

Since re-flashing, after wiping the cache, dalvik-cache and data this time, the battery life has been much better.
