So my wife wants me to flash a rom on her still stock phone. ! Every time I flash one on my phone I reset it to factory settings just for the whole new phone feel. But she doesn't want to lose her stuff. Will a new rom mess with any of her things.

If u dirty wipe she wont lose anything. But a clean wipe is recomemded. Also i found after a clean wipe that the ROM feels faster. Gud luck flashing.

u can back up all data with titanum back up
A clean wipe is when u wipe : data, cachè, dalvic.
Dirty wipe : only cachè, and dalvic
Trust me it wil differ had tried both on my Gnex and galaxy ace both had superior performance when on clean wipe.

You can flash the latest release on top, just be sure to wipe cache and dalvik.

No but make sure you do your backup in case something goes wrong!
wipe cache and dalvik in recovery before flashing.
It won't wipe anything. But its a good idea to nandroid backup before flashing just in case something breaks.
Am I doing or not doing something, cause I don't really feel like this Rom that fast at all.I mean help me out here maybe I have a setting bit set right or something? And for what ever reason my battery is worse on this Rom.Sprint s3.and yes I do factory reset and wipe dalvik and cache before new installs always!
Try another rom.. Do a full wipe before you install new rom....

Everything worked great but the bluetooth
Blazer had one of the best battery life in my opinion....

Thanks
Michael.
Just flash em through Rom manager. It will have wipe dalvik cache ticked. I always run Cachemate and fast reboot after.

Before and After don't hurt

Don't wipe anything for a modem flash. Totally unnecessary.
Do I have to perform a factory reset before flashing a Rom if I'm coming from stock?

Yes... Btw, whatever rom u flash.... Its writen there in every op....
not necessary
^^why??:what::screwy::sly:
its when you changing the rom not when you updating it
R: Flashing a rom
Just factory reset every time, it's better this way
Just do factory reset. Its better to avoid unexpected behavior of new ROM u installed.

Hello there,
I can't help but notice a increased battery drainage after flashing viper 3.7.7 and I think it is caused by com.htc.launcher?
I didn't do a full wipe when going from 3.7.5 to 3.7.7 by OTA. Maybe reflashing full Rom will help? Open for suggestions

Wipe cache
Wipe system
Factory reset right?
I don't have the right tools atm to flash and copy the zip again so I will try to do this later!

Wipe dalvik cache
Format cache,data,system in the mounts and storage too to be sure
Wiped all but would not boot up again.. very weird. Restored nandroid and will wipe and flash 3.7.7 full Rom when I get home see if that helps

So many things effect battery life, there isn't a be all end all fix.
You will have to try Rom/kernel combos.
