Hi everyone,
When upgrading from CM7.0 stable to CM7.02, do I have to do a full wipe and install or can I just install on top of it and keep all my apps and what not?
Thanks
You don't need to wipe at all. Just flash the rom over the top of the old one.
Some people wipe cache and dalvik cache between flashes others think its a waste of time.
The only thing I would suggest is to flash manually through CWM rather than ROM manager.

Alright guys so forgive me if this is a double post but I can't seem to find the answer anywhere. I've been looking into Nightly roms and I've found that I really like the concept. However, I've been flashing these Nightlies as if I've been flashing an entirely new Rom. What I mean is I've been doing full titanium backups then boot to cwm and wipe data factory reset and wipe dalvik and finally flash new nightly and reboot. I hate having to wait for titanium to reinstall all my apps and data though. I mean titanium is a neat idea but not as a nightly restorer as it just takes way too long. So I feel like I might be missing something but my general question here is can I get away without doing a full data wipe when moving to a new nightly? And will this ultimately save all of my apps and data? Thanks for any help guys

If its same rom just an update, as in nightlies, u just wipe cache + dalvic. Full wipe not necessary. All ur data will b there. I never fully wipe unless it's a new Rom.

Cool thanks man. I've never wiped a cache before at all though....what's the point?

Hello people!
Have searched the forums and also tried googling but have not found a certain, conclusive answer to my question.
The question is when do we have to wipe the cache and dalvik cache?
I know what to wipe when flashing a new ROM but what about radios, RILs and kernels? What do we have to wipe when flashing the above so as for the phone to run optimally? Before or after flashing them?
Thanks in advance
Developers of the rom will tell if a full wipe is needed , if your updating. If your coming from another rom, you need to perform a full wipe.
No wipe required when flashing radio, Ril and kernel.
If you are going to perform a wipe you do it before you flash anything.

You mean you don't even have to wipe battery stats when flashing a new Radio?
I thought otherwise but I am not certain...
Anyway, thanks for answering
As far as I know you don't need to, the only time bat sat are recommended to be wiped is when flashing a rom and you have battery issues. But others say wiping battery sat doesn't really help with battery..

Ok thanks for the info!
What do I need to do to upgrade to the latest version of SGBS? Can i just install it over itself, or do I need to wipe dalvik cache and data etc.?
As most times when upgrading to a.new version of a Rom you got installed already, wipe dalvik and normal cache and then flash update.
If problems occur, only then full wipe. But should not be necessary at upgrading

Ah thanks and this won't wipe apps or messages will it?
You should backup your apps ,contacts and messages for safe .
I have CM10.1 installed, the M Snapshot build 20130121 and I want to flash the newest M Snapshot 20130304 onto my phone. Do I have to clear the cache and everything and then restore all of my apps via TiBackup or can I just go ahead and flash this new rom and go? I've looked in the search and nothing really helped with this...

You can clean flash. (Wipe cache, dalvik, factory reset and wipe system)
Most people dirty flash (wipe cache and dalvik)
Dirty flashing can potentially cause some small or large issues but not always. If dirty flashing leads to issues do not report anything without doing a full wipe and a fresh install.
Make sure you also download the latest gapps that came out after the first stable cm10.1 it's made specifically for 4.2.2

Since you're simply just flashing an update (not changing roms), you can flash the cm10.1 in recovery, wipe cache, dalvik cache and reboot. This will not erase any apps or data. Always consider making a backup before flashing if you don't have an up-to-date one on your device. Cheers

Whenever you flash a rom, flash the appropriate gapps too
Hey guys so I'm pretty new to rooting and flashing roms and yesterday I flashed the Liquidsmooth rom onto my phone now there is an update and its not like CM where you can update through settings I was wondering how you would go about updating a rom. Thanks in advance.
Download it from the main thread, or maybe with goomanager, and flash it in recovery

Are you supposed to factory restore or wipe cache? Do you just flash on top of previous rom?
Depends if the dev states a full wipe is needed.. If not then just wipe system, cache & dalvik, and flash

Thanks for the info you wouldn't happen to know if the Liquidsmooth rom requires cache or total wipe would you?
Just do a system wipe, if you have issues do a full wipe
