What the things in the Recovery mean

**Andrew Ruffolo** · 04-23-2010, 01:14 AM

So I decided to create a nice picture on what the things in the recovery mean, for the newbies

Here you go:

Sorry, forgot to add what the wipe function does:

That has 5 options in it:
the first three:
Wipe Data/Factory reset- wipes everything in settings/rom
Wipe Dalvik Cache- wipes all app data still there
Wipe SD:EXT- clears off your apps2sd partition

the other two, really aren't needed much, you can reset the g-sensor at anytime with a rom installed in the settings menu.

I was just thinking this how did you know

I made it earlier... shockingly it took longer to convert the file to what I needed
It started off as a .odg, then to .pdf, but was too big, so i took a screen capture and pasted into paint and saved it as a .jpg... way too much work for something so simple. I refuse to edit the wipe mistake.

I wouldn't edit after all that. Look now your the Expert-800 posts

Thats why I created it

My sleep schedule is all messed up.. I ran a 5k last night a midnight for funding of our rec center for school, then had breakfast afterwards. I'm really not the slightest bit tired.

Can you explain the partition menu, you dont have to include an image. I specifically looking for how to create the ext partition.

Also how do you get to nadroid+ext?
