[Tool][Aroma]:Mega Wipe:Super Wipe:Factory Reset:Simple Wipe::For Flashaholics

[chrismast]

I am going to set up my galaxy from scratch as I did a dirty flash from ics to jb.

As I am not yet 100% into the partition layout etc. As I have been with my desire I got one question:

When I resetup my desire I always formatted and wiped anything to have a clean slate. Which error version would I use for this case? Mega wipe? If so will it also impact the essential parts of the phone, e.g. efs folder?

Thanks for your help in advance!

EFS partition is not touched in any of the wipes..it is a seperate mount point..if you use MegaWipe it will format your /system partition and anything mounted on that mount point....as your SDcard0(internal Sdcard) also uses the same mount point ...it will be formatted as well..so MegaWipe will give you a clean slate but at some cost...

For general use superwipe is fine...

Please help me understand if this feature formats the internal SD card or not because it did so. Maybe I was caught off-guard.

2> SuperWipe: This is a simple factory reset and you can use it to move from one ROM to another without bothering about framework conflicts.
It deletes the Data and Cache partitions of your internal memory.

No it should not..only megawipe formats the data on Internal Sdcard

Zoot1, I have a working implementation of this for all of them without wiping the internal SD. Do you want me to PM it to you? I can also combine all three into one aroma installer?

The problem is wiping /data also wipes /data/media/ which is the internal SD card.

PM sent. The magic happens in the wipe.sh script

I have noticed a lot of random files on my internal sdcard that were not being removed whenever i did a full wipe and reflash of a rom. I also noticed that while on Dark ParanoidAndroid and Siyah Kernel, my home screens would lag for the first 5 seconds of swiping around and become smoother overtime.

I have used megawipe, removed a lot of clutter from my phone and also noticed a lot of things running more smoothly, thanks a lot zoot1!

Ok I am confused. What is difference between Megawipe and use of factory reset code *2767*3855# since this code also delete data and format internal SD completely.

Factory reset will not clear your system partition but mega wipe will.. So after you have used megawipe you will have a blank system partition with no os to boot.. Factory reset is like my superwipe..
