I guess, Rc dosen't get updated as quickly as nightlies, so if i were to flash back to nightly do i need to wipe anything?
Or can i just flash and go
Not really - unless it is not needed for some new major changes in the update

Latest morfic will not work with cm7 stable you need older kernel.
May i suggest flashing latest cm7 kang, its very stable and newest additions, and you can flash latest morfic kernel.
Go to development section look for baldwinguy77 thread and get latest cm7 nightly kang, wipe, flash then wipe cache/dalvik and flash morfic latest.

That's what they are, the bot to upload the nightlies to CMs site has been down since mid november, probably because he is working on CM9. But the kang just adds the latest nightly features, was just updated a few days ago too.

Hi All... Familiar with the basics of rooting/ROMs... I've upgraded my GB 3.2.4 Xoom 4G to the EOS ICS 4.0.3 Nightly #25 a couple of nights ago, and DANG.... impressive stuff! I'm absolutely loving it!
I had a quick question on what the preferred way is of keeping up-to-date with these nightlies? Is it acceptable to just apply a new nightly upgrade from CWM directly ontop of the ROM itself? Do I have to do any wiping of cache beforehand? Also, I was reading you have to reapply the GApps 10.3 afterwards? Can that be done at the same time (one after the other) in CWM?
Does this have any effect on apps that are installed, or email accounts that are already configured?
Thanks much in advance!

You normally wouldn't need to wipe, unless they have a new version of gapps which you would have to flash.

Thank you... just to followup... so if a new nightly comes out, I can just apply it through recovery without doing anything else... but if a new version of gapps comes out, then I have to go through the process of backing up my stuff with titanium backup, go into recovery, wipe data/cache/factory reset, install the nightly and the new gapps, then restore my apps? Sounds painful just for gapps... why doesn't it play nice by just overinstalling it ontop of an older version?
I was wondering how I could update my cyanogenmod 10.1 build 16 to 17 without wiping my phone. Any help is greatly appreciated
AW: Updating Cyanogenmod
You could try only wiping cache and Dalvik cache, that mostly works
ok will that delete all of my apps? and then do i just flash the new build to my phone?
AW: Updating Cyanogenmod
No, your apps and settings will all still be there. Yes, afterwards flash the new version as normal and don't forget to flash the new boot.img if you're s-on.
ok i will do thanks for the help
But do not complain about problems, it isn't called dirty flash for no reason...
A clean full wipe flash is always safer if you want to avoid problems, especially when there are new minor Android releases or greater CM changes
I currently have Gummy's 2/9 Nightly running on my S3. Is there an easy way to update to the most recent nightly build? Or is a clean installation the only way?
Clean flash is always recommended, but you can dirty flash too. Worst comes to worst, things go wrong and you end up clean flashing anyway. Just make sure you back up anything important first.
If I would like to update to latest nightly of CM12.1 do I have clean wipe or simply flash the latest zip?

i can only answer this surely if you tell us which rom/ version you currently using .... but if you allready on CM12.1 update this way:
(dirty install):
backup current rom (in case of problems)
in recovery install the new update
wipe cache + dalvic-cache
now, if you get any issues or FC's etc... you will need a clean install (fatcory reset / data wipe)
remeber this rom is still under development so sometimes a clean install in fact is needed...
