[Q] Factory Reset Dumb question

---

Ok here it is, treat me gently as I'm no expert. I have currently running ICS 4.03 LPD + CF-Root. I first flashed 2.3.6, then jumped to Lp8 and now LPd and never have wiped my phone. I have a lot of unused apps and was thinking in doing it.

Question: Will I loose Root? or apps like CWM and such? What about the info in my external SD card? Anything else i must take into consideration?

thks in advance

User installed apps in /data, yes. System apps or other apps in /system, no.

You will not lose root or cwm manager as that is in the system apps. You will lose all the apps you have downloaded though. But if you have Titanium Backup, My Backup pro or Rom Toolbox, you can backup all your apps and reinstall them once you have rebooted.

[EDIT] Also wipe delvik cache when you do a data/factory reset.

Twlauncher Error

Ok I finally wiped the device and rebooted fine. ICS asked my name my gmail account etc, it then started downloading all apps but if i try to go to pass the unlock screen i get "unfortunatelly twlauncher stopped working". wow. i went over recover and deleted cache and rebooted, still the same. What should i do?
thanks

I can't get to the dialer...

Cwm format data system internal storage dalvik.
Flash using Odin.

Went ahead and restored a backup from cwm recover. Should i try again and wipe with the code you gave?

If your backup has issues you can try.
