I flashed the XenonHD rom a few days ago. Now there is already an update, do i need to do a full wipe? I would have posted in the Xenon thread but i was not allowed.
If its just a small update, a cache/dalvik wipe and flash is usually good. Backup first just in case there are issues.

Most updates no. Just cache and dalvik cache. However read the op instructions to see if full wipe is needed and if you experience weird issues do a clean install and see if issues still exist before reporting bugs.

You're going to want to wipe dalvik and cache (as you always should when Flashing something). Possibly even battery stats if you want to play it safe
Treat kernels just like you do roms I don't want you to be paranoid

Don't wipe data
Do wipe cache
I never wipe battery stats, but I suppose you could.

Exactly...
Just make sure to ONLY wipe cache and dalvik cache. This will ensure that the kernel is flashed correctly with no traces of the previous kernel. Again, like said previously, treat flashing kernels as you do flashing ROMs. It's easy, and if anything goes wrong (rarely ever happens, unless you use a kernel not designed for the EVO, LoL) then it can always be undone by reflashing
Good luck and enjoy! You'll be fine br0
For completeness....(? it's Christmas)
Due to some possible wipe (recovery) issues:
Wipe cache , twice.
Wipe Dalvick , twice.
IIRC
Thanks all for your help. I looked at a couple of different kernels, which one do yall think is the best mainly for the battery anyway?

I'm running SBC-net 4.2.2. And it runs great for me. Good battery and is smooth.
Do you have a link that I can download that kernel?

First off I searched but didnt find it.
Is there a quick and easy way to update nightlies to the newest release.
I am currently using ericwill ROM - CyanogenMod 10 - JB 4.1.1 - UNOFFICIAL.
I have 2012-09-15 and would like to upgrade to 2012-09-18.
Do I need to do a full wipe and flash and then reinstall my apps with titanium backup or is there a simple way given that they are very similar?
also can I restore all the system data as well or is that too risky given that system may have changed a bit?
Thanks in advance.

U can just flash it on top but to get the best results its rly best to whipe... U avoid problems wen u do the whipe.... N as long as ur on the same rom as far as I no n my experience u can restore all system data with no problems but only do that if ur staying with the same rom other then that it's really not recommended... Hope that helps :beer:

I did a darkside superwipe
flashed new rom
rebooted and let sit a while 10 mins
flashed gapps
rebooted and let sit 10 mins
rebooted again and did full sytem and apps restore with titanium backup.
one question should I do the darkside cache wipe as well and if so when should that be done?
I think as if it should be done after flashing the rom. if so after the gapps too?

When flashing a nightly you dont have to wipe! You can just add on top of each other!!! But make sure to WIPE DATA if flashing a new ROM.
To build on the first reply, I backup current nightly with trwp. Wipe all, install new nightly, Flash gapps, restore data from last backup. Wipe cache just in case and reboot. Now if on aokp, use aokp backup to restore settings. No tibu needed, all user apps restored with data

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.

Some ROMs require to flash kernel in that case after the last dalvik wipe flash kernel then wipe cache and dalvik.

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
Sent from my SGH-I747 using xda app-developers app
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

Hey there guys, new to Samsung devices (solid LG user here). Wifey got this phone and I'm trying to flash JB (it's in ICS coming from GB). As the title says, whatever custom JB rom out there for this phone won't work! I don't know, maybe I just missed something or what, but I followed, read every instructions there is (I don't have any problems flashing any roms on my LG's...)
Why can't I flash any JB roms? While I can flash any custom ICS roms on this phone..anything I missed? Need to be enlightened. Thank you in advance. Btw, I like to try Chameleon OS
You'll prolly have to give more info like the steps your taking to flash them. What recovery are you using if any.

Oh sorry. Forgot to mention those. As of lately, I wanted to try Chameleon OS. the steps I did:
* factory reset
* full wipe (format /system & /cache)
* flash latest Chameleon OS nightly
* wipe davlik
* reboot, waited for 15 mins
I did this on all JB roms I tried...but none of them works. Btw, I'm on TWRP 2.5
Thanks for the reply.

You're missing gapps after flashing ROM
If a ROM is aosp based you need gapps...there's a link for the latest 4.2.2 gapps in the chameleon thread or you can search for it on goo.im
Once you Dow load gapps and ROM do the following
Reboot into twrp recovery
Click on wipe
Click advance wipe
Check the first 4 (dalvik, data, system, cache)
Swipe to wipe
Flash ROM
Flash gapps
You can wipe dalvik/cache again after (I don't since the caches haven't been built yet for the newly flashed ROM)
Reboot
Wait 10 mins after seeing the welcome screen (don't touch anything)
Reboot device again and setup :thumbup::beer:
EDIT: my fault..not flashing the gapps won't make you hang on boot but still try my method to flash and let me know if it worked.

No it was caused by not wiping properly on twrp. You need to make sure all 4 partitions are being wiped that's why my steps said click advance wipe and check the first 4.
