Hey guys, I'm currently using Revolution OS (MIUI 10 based ROM).
I'm planning on flashing Havoc OS.
I know I have to wipe
- Dalvik / ART Cache
- System
- Cache
- Data
Should I also wipe "Vendor" or not ?
Just do wipes (don´t format data) and no need to wipe vendor.

Do I need to reflash gapps when updating to the new nightlies? And should I be wiping either of the caches for best results?
Edit: nvm, flashed the new one and wiped dalvik after. Everything working beautifully.

Going from a nightly to a newer nightly of the same version (i.e. a CM10.1 nightly to a newer CM10.1 nightly), you should not need to wipe your system partition, but it never hurts if you are not in a hurry. You may want to wipe cache and Dalvik cache, as it may help to optimize the new versions of apps.
You would need to wipe your system partition when changing ROM (i.e. CM10 to stock) or changing from one version of a ROM to another version of the same ROM (i.e. CM10 to CM10.1).
Wiping cache and Dalvik cache do not uninstall apps -- so no, if you only wipe cache and Dalvik cache, you would not need to reinstall Google Apps.
But wiping system will format your system partition, deleting all system apps and user apps. This means that once you have reflashed a new ROM, if you had formated your system partition, you will need to reflash Gapps also. And reinstall all your other apps.
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.
I tend to have troubles with roms when i flash them by how the instruction says. For example I only do a factory data reset for cm10.2 then install. I have problems with it after 6 hours, people say it's smooth and amazing so how do I do a clean install?
Wipe data/factory reset
Wipe cache partitions
Wipe dalvik cache
Format system
After that install rom.

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.
How do i install xiaomi.eu when coming from an AOSP custom rom?
I was using Paranoid Android Quartz 4 (AOSP) for a good while now but it i want to go to xiaomi.eu because of the better battery management and other features.
I wanna know what's the right procedure to flash the rom. I am going to include the rom and custom kernel plus magisk on top.
Im confused as to which to wipe and/or format. Like which to do first and such before flashing the rom, kernel and magisk.
I'm using OrangeFox recovery because TWRP doesnt work on mine. Phone is ginkgo.
Thanks for the response
Wipe dalvik, cache, system, vendor, data. Flash rom, magisk. Reboot. If you face bootloop (most probably) then format data partition. You'll be okay.

Should i format data partition before flashing rom or should i do it after i face bootloop?
Thanks for replying
Format after flashing ROM. Formatting before flashing will wipe out internal storage.
