Flashing my first Custom ROM

uscjunkie · #1 (**permalink**) 02-04-2011, 04:18 PM

Ok I have rooted the phone.....made several Nandroid Backups (paranoia)....downloaded the rom I want and now about to flash. The part that I am confused about is the data/dalvik/cache wipe. What do each of these do? These aren't gonna erase anything off of the SD card will it? Is there anything that I haven't thought of before I install my first custom rom?

Thanks
