2. Clean_Wipe: This contains multiple layers of delete of old systems files, data files, cache files, dalvik files and any other left overs from a previous ROM. Hopefully flashing this before you flash a ROM will wipe all traces of previous ROM to give you a clean slate. This will not erase your SDcard or microSD card.
DO NOT FLASH THIS unless you are ready to flash a ROM or have a ROM on your SDcard. If you tried to reboot without flashing a ROM, all you will see is a pretty bright white Samsung logo.
Ideally this will eliminate the need to jumping around in CWM trying to manually erase everything.

Thanks Q, you're a great help to the community. That clean wipe reminds me with Dark Side's Super Wipe for the Skyrocket!!

So, wipe data, wipe cache partition, wipe delvik cache, format data, format system, data & cache = Qkster's Clean Wipe?

Thanks man.

Clean wipes..delete all old stuff. And another script to repeat just in case...I didnt format but I think it should suffice and saves time if you wantes to install new.
I just fot tired of doing the same thing in cwm..one time alnost format the sdcard..I figured a script would be safer...and saves the wear on the buttons.
Thnx, Arty.

Thank you Qkster!

I will be flashing the new build of Zeus and will use the wipe script first.

Thank you for your hard work.

Any time. Gl.

edit: the simplest way for me to use the wipe script:
Have a folder on the SDCARD: /A A ROM (so when you are in cwm, flash from sd, this folder is on top - no need to toggle around)
Put wipe script and other ROMs or utils in it.
Rename wipe script to "A cwm wipe" or whatever..just so you know and it will be the first file in that folder
When you're ready to flash it, it is the first to show up...saves some time from toggling around)

I used the wipe script for the first time while I was test driving saurom. Didn't have any issues. The clean wipe was perfect. Thank you again Qkster!

4. Wifi_Fix: After flashing some ROMs, some people have wifi issues. Dropping etc. I have suspected that it is due to left over from previous ROMs or problems with multiple writes during cache build. I'm not sure. I have not had this happened to me over some many attempts to borked it. I wrote this up as an attempt to delete the broken configuration and force a new file generation.
I tried it on mine and it does just that. However, not being broken before, I can't tell if if will fix your borked wifi connection. The current best fix is reseting your router or changing the DHCP time - which in essense, forces your phone to produce a new configuration. This may save you a walk to your router log in and changing the DHCP.
edit: (3/28/2012) This may not fix more long standing wifi issues some users are having. It may fix the log on/drop off scenario.

The wifi fix only kind of fixed my issues. For some reason my phone almost on the minute every minute will reset the wifi connection... before the fix it would cycle the process a hand full of times then eventually just show the wifi signal but not use it... if that makes sense (would show the bars but they would stay grayed out).

After I applied the fix it still resets every minute but appears to successfully reconnect every time.

thanks man! i've been looking for something like this for a looong time, it will be very useful

Thanks. I guess there is no harm in trying it again.
If not, you may need to wipe the phone with wipe script, and flash the rom again.
I had hoped the script would save someone the hassle of reflashing the whole rom.
the other tried and true method is to change the value of dchp on the router.

I have been debating on wiping and flashing but as an on call field tech my windows for being with out a phone are very limited. I did flash your script two more times last night and it didn't appear to help then. However, I did just get home and its been connected for over 10 minutes w/o a drop that I have noticed.

Only other things I can think that I changed was I had two identical APNs in an effort to try and get rid of one I did a reset to default which I now can't edit. I also turned on use wireless networks under location and security because I was getting a constant location doesn't exist error throughout the day. I guess maybe google just has to know where and what I am doing every minute and since this was off it would just kill my wifi so it could send the info over data?

Dunno if it would have had anything to do with it but I did spend a lot of time with the wifi on while working today. Analyzing wifi networks but not connecting to any.

I will be trying your script on another phone eventually. He says he has the drop problem on multiple networks. I really only connect mine at home not much anywhere else lately.

I have a DHCP reservation set up in the router for my phone. Do you think this could be an issue as it never expires? I did this a few days ago after the issue had been going on for a few days.

THANKS FOR ALL YOUR HELP!!!

I hope this wasn't too much useless input.

I don't think APN is an issue.
Many users have good luck with changing the dhcp value.
While that works, I still think that somewhere in the flash process, something doesn't quite work correctly.
Apparently my thoughts re: forcing a new file config generation has not quite hit the right target.
Back to the drawing board, I guess.

I thinking having wifi is a must. I suggest either changing dhcp or wipe, wipe, wipe and reflash the rom.

Thanks for trying it.
I thought that by replacing all stock apps and setting the correct permissions will solve the BT issue on vb3.5.
Apparently it has not.
For very consistent working BT, flashing the stock kernel will have a stable working BT.
If you are using Entropy's kernel on vb3.5, occasionally after a long charge, the lidroid toggle becomes less responsive.
Usually a reboot fixes this problem.
Leaving the BT on at all times is also another work around while using entropy's kernel.
It may be a combination of kernel, rom and toggles or some sort of deep sleep on the phone that causes this problem.

fix: 1. try leaving bt on at all times. 2. reboot after a long charge if bt toggle is not working. 3. use stock kernel. 4. Use a different bt. 5. (sad for me to say) but use a different rom.

Can't you just fix it for us? Jeez...

You fix everything else!

Is it possible to make a script which can do clean wipes and install the ROM's ZIP in one go. RoM & Clean wipes can be placed in same folder. (it will save our button)

or may be some thing like following can be made:

Clean wipes + Install for Vagabond.zip
Clean wipes+ Install for Aeon.zip

etc. etc.

I think Emancipation has a script like that. Correct me if Im wrong.

Hi, Nits.

What are talking about is slightly more complicated.

In the edify (updater-script), there is an "install_zip" command.

This command will allow you to launch the rom or a zip you wanted in recovery.
However, it will depend on where you store the rom you want.

For example:
You may have Aeon in /sdcard/ROM or /sdcard/A ROM or /sdcard/bigfau/Aeon.
Another user may have it as /sdcard/My Flash Addiction/ etc
I'm not certain how to make this simple script locate the rom you want to launch it.

I can make it launch "update.zip" standard. But it will be up to you to copy and name the rom as "update.zip" on /sdcard/

I believe the "install_zip" was originally design to only launch "update.zip" in recovery.

That's why you will still need to nagivate the cwm to locate the rom you want.

Solution:
You can edit the cwm-wipe script and add a line at the bottom to:
install_zip("/sdcard/location of rom/rom name/");

Or you can make two version of the ROM you want. 1 without wipe and the other with wipe. You just need to incorporate the wipe script into the ROm's edify. And run each version as you see fit.

Thanks Qk
I will be working on that customized scripts. It will be very handy to me. ( i am waiting to see touch support in cwm recovery ). :thumbup:
