Hey guys, I'm on PA right now. What I want to know is how to update the rom? I always end up with a broken rom. Please tell me how to do it?
Wipe cache or dalvik cache or both?
Do I need to flash gapps again or no?

Of you need to install gapps when you flashed that ROM, you need to do it again

Dirty flashing is fine. I did it with no problem.
Just make sure you nandroid backup first and when you do have problems, just clean flash.

Gapps update

Hello,
I am using Cynogenmod 10 and I recently downloaded the newest Gapps to update my existing ones. My question is:
Can I just flash the newest Gapps? If not, what would the process be?
Thank you very much!

I believe you just have to delete cache and wipe dalvik and install the new gapps.
Make sure Gapps is for JB 4.1.2 and not 4.2.1. CM10 is still on 4.1.2. unless you are running the unofficial 10.1 rom.
Edit** 10.1 Nightlies are now rolling out. So flash 4.2 Gapps if you are planning on running it

[Q] Problem with kernel and booting up.

Hello. So I tried to install a Franco kernel and it didn´t go well. Now my GNex won´t boot-up. It have happaned before with franco kernel. Then I reinstalled ROM and had to wipe all data. So my question: is there any way to get my device to bootup without reseting. Fortunately I have made Titanium backup so everything isn´t lost.
What ROM and which Kernel version?

Its a AOKP rom and I don´t know the exact kernel because I downloaded it with the franco.kernel app. The app said it´s the latest and stable version. ( I have tried to install different kernels with Nexus Root Toolkit.)
Be aware that 4.2.2 kernels are not compatible with 4.2.1 or lower ROMs.
The latest franco APP 8.8.4 will install a 4.2.2 kernel.
If you did that, you have to re flash other compatible kernel .

there should be a boot.img inside the zip file for the rom you are on. pull that and flash it in fastboot.

[Q] If I update using CyanogenMod Updater, is my Flo wiped?

Hi,
I have a Nexus 7 running CyanogenMod 11 with the 20131209 Nightly. If I use the CyanogenMod updates feature in my device settings to update to the latest nightly (or stable when it comes out), is my data wiped?
Thanks,
Orange

No, data are only wiped if you update from a ROM XXX to an other ROM YYY. For example, you have to wipe data if you have CM10.2 and want to upgrade to CM11 or SlimKat, but data wont be and don't need to be wiped from CM11 to an other CM11 !
