you can use a backup software or simply DONT do a wipe data/factory reset..
just wipe cache and install the update..
I'll work fine.. I did the same and it works fine for me so far..:victory:

everytime i try to go from 10.1 to 10.2, my extrnal usb card isnt mounted..i can see it in device storage but not in any file managers

I did'nt do factory reset for last 2 updates. I did'nt experience any problem. You can wipe the cache and install the update as says tharas.

[Q] How to upgrade ROM and keep installed apps?

Since CM and Virtuous updates itself once every 2 weeks or so, I don't want to keep on reinstalling everything over and over and over again.
Is there a way to keep all my settings on all my apps AND have my ROM upgraded from CM 6.0 to 6.1?
Yes you can keep everything if you're upgrading from CM 6 to CM 6.1. When you flash from recovery, all you'll want to do is to wipe cache... you don't need to wipe the phone unless the upgrade is causing you trouble. When switching roms entirely, you may need to wipe the phone.
But I flash the nightlies all the time, and wiping the cache is sufficient.
If you are switching roms, use titanium backup. The batch operation definitely makes restoring apps and data quicker.
Same is true for virtuous. Only need wipe for major changes. If i remember right its major.minor.bugfix i forget the last one but anyway only wipe on the major updates.

1. How do I wipe cache only?
I rebooted into recovery and i saw several wipe options but didn't know which one i had to wipe.
2. I was actually already at 6.1 RV3. Is there any point at all in upgrading to RV4? Or can I wait until it's at like 6.2 or something.

I cant answer number 1. Id guess if there is an option for wipe cache then select that. To answer number 2. RC4 will be more stable then RC3 or more features at least. If you dont want to help test these then i would wait until the official stable release. Fyi 6.1 has been released you should install that one.

Big problem with Cyanogen 7.1 and 7.2

Every morning, I must go to the Parameters menu and choose my provider's network because Android "forget" it during the night. If I don't do that, I can't use my 3G connection, but I can make and receive calls.
This bug is on the 7.1 and 7.2 ROMs
Please help !
Did you tried reading the rom thread?
I'm using 7.2 and it's all fine here.
Yes.
It happen even with the 7.1, a stable ROM.
And this problem doesn't appear with others ROMs

update-cm-7.2.0-RC1-ace-signed.zip --> http://get.cm/get/2db
I found all links under ' http://download.cyanogenmod.com/?device=ace&type= ' as ghalyoum already mentioned

The One Carrying the number 260 its the latest nightly friend while the other is The release candidate. i suggest you go with the RC cz nightlies are experimental and may have problems.Hope That I Helped You Bro
Ok it works.
Instead of doing "full wipe", I did "format all partitions (except sdcard)"
After that, I have installed the ROM 7.1 and it works.

[Q] ROM with Settings Profiles besides CM9?

I am currently using CM9 on my GNex because it has a built-in Profiles management application in Settings.
Is this feature exclusive to CM? Do other ROMs have this feature? I have tried various market apps to replicate this functionality, but none of them seem to work the way the CM9 one does.
I thought I had seen someone using AOKP and it had this in his Settings, but when I tried to Flash that ROM, I got a ton of errors on reboot and didn't find Profiles in the Settings section either.
Also, as I am relatively new to Android (this is my first Android device), should I do a complete wipe data before installing a totally different ROM to avoid process errors? I am using Clockwork Mod recovery to flash ROMs and just performing the default "wipe Dalvik cache" before installing a new ROM. So far, the only ROM I am able to install/update is CM9. AOKP and Codename Android just gave me a ton of process errors after booting and were just unusable. As such, i am currently stuck using CM9, but have really bad wifi performance with it.
TIA!

Yes. Yes Yes Yes Yes. ALWAYS do a full data wipe when moving from one ROM to another ROM. You can sometimes get away with not wiping if you are simply upgrading to a newer version of the same ROM, but anytime that you run into issues after installing a new ROM please do make sure that you wiped data before posting/complaining about issues.
Thank you for your clarification. The next time I try a completely different ROM I will do a full data wipe. I assume flashing new Nightlies of the ROM I am already running doesn't require a full data wipe?
But can you or anyone else tell me if AOKP or any other ROMs have the "Profiles" feature in Settings, like CM9 does? Or is this exclusive to the CM9 ROM?
Thanks again.

I haven't seen it anywhere else, though AOKP does offer a Quiet Hours option.
THANK YOU!
Using your suggestion to do a wipe data when flashing a rom, I downloaded the latest CM9 nightly, and just installed it wiping both the data and cache.
After my initial setup and installing the speedtest app, my ping is back to normal at ~25ms and 15mb down and 2 up!
Do you always (or recommend) wipe the data even if you are just updating the current ROM?
Hopefully one of my other apps wasn't the cause of this issue, but I'll soon find out once I have re-installed everything.
Thanks again.

The ROM developer will usually state in the changelog / release notes if a wipe is required/recommended for an upgrade. Rule of thumb though:
1) Updating ROM to newer version, same Android release (ex: 4.0.3 -> 4.0.3) ==> No wipe
2) Updating ROM to newer version, different Android release (ex: 4.0.3 -> 4.0.4) ==> WIPE
3) Changing from one ROM to another ROM (CM9 -> AOKP) ==> WIPE
Interesting. After reinstalling my apps one by one, I've been running speedtest and found that Airsync/Doubletwist is the cause of my slowness. Uninstalling and rebooting fixes the speed/ping issue right away. Glad I bought this app. Not.

Updating Cyanogenmod without losing settings

I've been flashing the nightly cyaongenmod 10.1 builds on my i747m using cwm.
Is there a way to prevent losing all the settings and apps that I have? For example, if I don't clear data/cache will this cause bad things to happen?
Or is there another way to do this?

Get titanium backup and do a full backup of your apps/data. When you restore, dont restore any system app but you can restore the rest.
And to avoid problems, always clear cache/dalvik.

All you need to do is download the new nightly that you wanna flash, boot into recovery, flash the nightly. If you have any other files that you wanna flash like a kernel, flash them after the nightly. Clear cache & dalvik cache & reboot. You won't lose any apps or settings doing it this way. This is how I update every day. Now if you wanna do a clean install every single time you update, that's another story. The way I just explained to you will work just fine. There is no need in wiping EVERYTHING for every update.

It's not only about wiping everything (Clean flash), having a backup is always good and *needed* imo. Never know when something will go wrong, could be as simple as a corrupted download.
So just to confirm, if I download the latest nightly, boot into cwm, clear cache and dalvik, but don't delete user data, then flash ROM and gapps, it will have all my settings and apps already setup?

Thanks. I didn't think about mentioning that. It's kind of a given to me to keep a good nandroid. Some people may not know though. Thanks for adding that.

I have a touchwiz nandroid and a cm10 nandroid on my SD card and my computer.
Will I have to flash gapps again or will that already be there?

Gotta flash the Gapps everytime you flash a ROM. (Their respective one)

You will only have to flash Gapps the first time. If you update like I told you, you will not have to flash them.

Does it apply to stable updates and upgrades also and not only for nightly?
Can I use the same method for updating CM11s to CM12 whenever they release...?
Titanium Backup
Will the Titanium Backup * root be the correct one, or the Titanium Pro?

[Q] nightly rom from cm 10.1

I have a Galaxy s3 rooted So I was ble to flash the newest nightly cb 10.1 before the one that came out today. I want to try out the one that came out today however I am confused about something. I know i have to flash the rom and delete data and cache during recovery mode and what not. What step do i need to take so that when i do flash thi snew rom i dont have to manually re install all my apps and configure my phones layout again?/
You can try dirty flashing by just clearing cache and dalvike cache after you flash the new nightly. This method won't affect any of your apps or settings. If you get any weird bugs from dirty flashing, try clean flashing (which wipes pretty much everything) before reporting any bugs. If you have to clean flash then you can backup your apps with Titanium Backup.
