I'm currently running cm7 rc3. Do I need to wipe cache and data if I'm upgrading to cm7 rc4?

I did a flash over, didn't wipe anything. No problems as of yet.

Its usually a good idea to at least wipe cache and dalvik. Shouldn't have to worry about data unless you are having problems.

Wipe cache and advanced>dalvik. Then apply the CM.zip, then GApps,zip if you use those, and then any custom kernel that you use.
Doing a backup beforehand is always recommended

Same thing here, no problems yet.
Rule of thumb is to just wipe the cache/dalvik if your updating to the same ROM, just a new update. It's really only when your cross-flashing a different ROM where you need to do a wipe data/factory reset.
Having never used CM7, I'm not totally sure how the builds work. If I want to use the nightlies, or flash the next beta when it is released, do i need to wipe the phone each time? I'm hoping it's like roms i've used in the past on my fascinate that required at most clearing the dalvik.

It's answered on the last page of the cm7 nightlys thread.

no wipe
for the nightly and rc%, each build can replace the old with no wiping or data loss.
OK, I know that you are supposed to wipe every time you flash a new rom. I am on CM9 Stable. I want to update to CM9.1. I think i need to wipe. But considering CM9.1 is an "update" I might not. So If I don't, then it'll save me so much time. But if I need to then OK. I don't want to have to wipe even though I didn't have to. So do I have to wipe when flashing to CM9.1 even though I'm on CM9?

No need to wipe, coming from Cm9 you're good to flash away. You will want to wipe cache/dalvik though afterwards if you get a boot loop.

I used twrp, factory reset, wipe system, wipe dalvik, wipe cache, flash 9.1, flash gapps. Prosper.
Hey guys, I just bought my Galaxy S III, I'm coming from the S II.
On the S II, there would be an installation process that I remembered by heart after flashing several times:
Open CWM
Backup
Install Darkside SuperWipe
Flash ROM
Flash gapps
Install Darkside Cachewipe
Reboot
Wait 10 min
Reboot.
While I've been on the S III forums for the past 2 days I haven't seen any of the devs have an installation guide, I figured I might have to wipe dalvik, wipe data or something but haven't tried just yet. Maybe I could just flash ROM over it.
If there's a process can someone please tell me.
Thank you, greatly appreciated.

Superwipe , wipe cache and cache/dalvik install ROM and then gapps if your installing a jb 4.1.1 ROM then I would wipe everything again and then fix permissions and reboot, wait 10 min and reboot again
Please correct me if I missed a step

So does SuperWipe work for every phone?
My .zip file for SuperWipe says SGH-T989_Darkside_superwipe.zip
I would not use the super wipe script from The s2 I believe there is one floating around for ours but I do not use it ... I also recommend u use twrp recovery instead of clockworkmod

This is what I did 2 days ago to install AOKP JB Build 3 and its been working like a charm
Reboot recovery
Wipe data factory reset
Wipe cache
Wipe dalvik cache
Flash rom
Let the phone sit for 5 mins then reboot
Haven't had any SOD or RR, should I stick to what I did?

yeah my bad...i also flashed gapps..i forgot to put that in there..
So, should I just stick to what I did previously?
I depends what u are looking for in a ROM..... if u like stock aosp then aokp is probably the most stable but there are tons of features on touchwiz ROMs that have me going back and forth... so its all preference really if u like stock jellybean
Then u are good where u are

Yes but the superwipe does the same thing and it was built for lazy people. I always say "what ever floats your boat". :good:
No I don't have a fix...
So Im using cm7.2 kang and after 3 months of uses its not very stable anymore. As in it will be randomlly laggy and wont do what I tell it to.
Anyway I love CM7.2 so is there a way to make this stable again without a standard wipe and reflash.
Will wiping cache in CWR work? Will formatting system in CWR work?
Sent from my Incredible 2 using xda premium
Formatting the system will wipe the ROM, I would say clear the cache and see if that works.
Sent from my Incredible 2 using xda premium
I would try wiping just the Cache (and Dalvik Cache) from Clockwork. Like EVorhees said, don't wipe the system as you will have to re-flash the Rom.
