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?

Formatting the system will wipe the ROM, I would say clear the cache and see if that works.

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.

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'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.
I am on cm9 alpha 4 and i want to upgrade to alpha 5. I flash into cwm,wipe cache and dalvik cache and then flash like always. Correct?
Read the install instructions on cm9 epic.blogspot... the developers say do not wipe anything if just updating between alpha versions... just flash alpha 5 and newest gapps version

There is some conflicting advice on the CM9 pages. Bottom line, it doesn't hurt to wipe cache and dalvik, I always do, but developers say it is not necessary when upgrading from one alpha to the next.
Happy Flashing!
i've gone both ways between many of the alphas, and never had an issue with no wipe updates, or wiping the caches..

Just like everyone suggested...no need for wiping anything. Just a flash to 5 will do just fine.
No need to wipe between Alphas but the CM Devs have also stated that wiping all data does get rid of factors such as apps force-closing (if any) its your personal preference. The world won't end if you don't wipe, I personally do.

I've done around 15+ updates between nightlies on CM7 and between alphas on CM9 without wiping any data and never had any problems for what its worth. Part of the beauty of the CM platform IMO.
some roms ask that you wipe system as well as the normal things. ALl i see thats close to that is format system. is this what theyre talking about? i just wanna make sure before i do it in case it messes up my phone.
What recovery are you using? There should be options to wipe data/cache.

latest cwm
is that the same thing as wiping system cause it said to ipe data and cache then the dev seemed to make an effort to mention to wipe system too. heres the rom.

its cm9 kang
Format removes the partition, wiping all data, and creates a fresh system partition in it's place. I always choose format all(except sdcard) when switching ROMs that use a different base: I.e. GB to ICS, AOSP to SENSE, or even different sense versions(2.x to 3.0 or 3.5). If any doubt, just do a full wipe of cache and dalvik, then format all and you'll be safe.

alright good deal thanks for the help
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.
