when I flash a new rom I format system, wipe cache, and wipe dalvik. my question is does that completely wipe your entire phone? if not, how would you go about doing it? or is it not necessary? would flashing the stock kdz and then start over with the root and cwm installation be the best way?

Can I flash from rem ics to mortify v2 final or do I have to go back to stock then flash the rom? Noob question
Wipe data, cache, and dalvik and flash away.
Odining back to stock is only necessary when going from MTD to BML.
I walk on toilet paper cuz I'm the s###!
Yes You can
Download the Rom first
Wipe data, wipe cache, wipe dalvik cache
Flash via CWM
Rooted n7100 with cwm installed. Am contemplating on trying some custom roms, but installing new roms usually require wiping data. If I wipe data does it also wipe the nandroid backup I created in the internal sd? Thanks.

No, it doesn`t mate, only mostly user data. When installing a different rom wipe cache and dalvik cache, wipe data and format system. When upgrading to a newer version of the same rom usualy only wipe cache and dalvik cache unless it is a major upgrade.
Thank you very much.
Can someone tell me the best order to do the wipe cache and the other stuff before restoring stock rom backup via cwm?
First of all,flash the right kernel for stock via fastboot... I suggest titanium kiss then:-
Recovery>wipe data/factory reset>restore backup which u want to do...
no need to wipe cache and dalvik?
Wipe data/factory reset will do all...
In my case, I always wipe data/cache/dalvik cache before install new Custom ROM.
Then, Do i have to wipe cache/dalvik cache before install new kernel?(not DATA)
its a good idea to wipe cache
you dont have to, but you might run into problems if you dont.
Hi,
is there a way to wipe dalvik cache without root (maybe via adb) ? I always wiped cache+dalvik after flashing a rom or update on my Nexus 4. Is that still neccessary with android 6?
I am using the stock rom without any modifications. I usually install updates with fastboot+factory image.
You can wipe cache in stock recovery
Yeah but you can not wipe dalvik cache in stock recovery. I tried to wipe Dalvik cache with TWRP (via fastboot boot TRWP. img) but I only get the response that wiping failed.
