How do i remove CM7 and put a new rom?
As the title says. I want to put a new rom CM9, So im here asking for help.
This is what i was going to do.
1:Wipe Dalvik Cache, Cache, and System.
2:Restore Stock.
3:Flash CM9
Is this correct, or way off?

I flashed the CM7 RC2 the other night and just got all my widgets/apps in the place I want them.
Question: If I flash the nightly's through RomManager, will my widgets/apps still be in place or will I have to set everything up again?
Don't wipe anything besides cache and they will stay. Occasionally I will have to redo my widgets.

CACHE AND DALVIK CACHE dalvik cache is actually more important than normal cache sometimes. wipe both then flash nightly.
thanks guys
I flashed AOKP milestone 5, I was coming from M4. I backed up SMS, pics, music and synced to Google for contacts in anticipation that when I wipe/reset I'd lose everything...
Flashed m5 and gapps after wiping and when I rebooted Android started to upgrade them it said something about apps and went configuring apps 1/138 and so on until it was done.
I was booted back into exactly what I had before same settings, apps, music. I went to about screen and I'm on M5 and 4.04
Did something go wrong ? Should I of had to get all my stuff back? Did I do a dirty flash somehow?
Thanks for any help.

Sounds like you didn't wipe it properly if it is working good no need to now but if you have problems then you should wipe and reflash.

Did you wipe all 3 areas? And how many times did you wipe?

Should I have done something else? Why did it install fine but I had everything still.
Like music pics contacts sms

Any extra input on this? Shall I reflash, I've been going for a few hours now and haven't noticed any problems but I want to be on the safe side

Check the Android revolution thread for the super wipe zip. Flash that then re flash m5.

You are good. It was rebuilding dalvik cache from you wipe before the installation.
So any reason that when I wiped, it well, didn't wipe? I only did data/factory reset in the recovery menu.

You didn't wipe cache and Dalvik cache.
Factory/data wipe formats cache & data.
I wiped, cache, dalvik cache and data/factory reset then flashed AOKP M5 and Gapps again. When i got rebooted, its the same thing.. all my music is there, pics,sms, contacts, apps.
Why wont the phone let me wipe and install a rom fresh?
Is it because im already coming for aokp m4?
It is something to do with Clockwork mod?
Please help.
Try that super wipe lite zip mention earlier or go into the mounts section and format data, cache and system. Then wipe dalvik. Flash rom & gapps again.

i had this problem before when doing factory reset from cwm. i just use fastboot to flash stock 4.0.4 then use cwm to flash aokp.
1) wipe data/factory reset
2) wipe /system (if you don't wipe this partition it leaves settings and files from the previous rom that could prove problematic)
3) wipe dalvik
4) flash rom
5) flash gapps
if installing a kernel after wards
6) wipe dalvik (again)
7) flash kernel
The music and pics should matter unless your wiping the sd card in recovery the SMS should have been gone after a wipe though

Yeah the SMS is still there.. idk what to do its not like the phone doesn't work or anything but its weird that I can't wipe and start clean I'll prolly have to unroot/ lock the boot loader and start all over. If anyone else has any input, please share

I think it was a ROM bug because I flashed another ROM and everything went back to normal. Thanks guys tho!

Wipe cache and dalvik cache then flash the build 5 zip

Wiping data is optional. Wiping cache and dalvik is recommended.

Thank you for your answer
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
