Question about CleanROM

[MustangDan74]

In the directions Scott says:

"Wipe all data / Factory reset - Do not restore anything from back up."

I assume that is just for phone settings, apps can still be reloaded from my Titanium Backup, right?

Thanks-Dan

After I "wipe all data/factory reset", I also "wipe cache" and "wipe dalvik cache", then I just reinstall all apps from scratch. The only things I restore are my contacts and music when I sync with google. Everything on the external micro sd card is safe unless you wipe or format that too.

I've restored apps using Titanium without much issue. Occasionally TB would hang on an install, but that was it.

Scott would tell you almost all problems people have are from 2 things. Dirty flashing (not wiping) and restoring apps. Maybe you don't have problems like some people, or maybe you do, waste a bunch of time trying to fix non-issues, and have to do a clean install anyway.

I go clean everytime.

When you wipe all data and factory reset there is no need to wipe cache and dalvik cache, correct?

As a rule of thumb, it's always best to wipe absolutely everything when installing any ROM.

Basically that rule/guideline is put in place so that Scott doesn't have to deal with issues you drag from ROM to ROM and then blaming his latest ROM.

Well, not sure what happened but when I installed the ROM and then started setting everything up, I seem to have apps that didnt back up data. Not a huge deal, just have to redo some things.
