Hello to all,
I am using Oxygen's ROM 3.0.0 and i want to update to the latest one. Should i flash the update through recovery? If yes, what should i wipe?
Also by flashing the update through recovery my apps etc will be erased?
Thanks in advance!
Just wipe cache and dalvik, and install new zip. Your apps will be there intact.

I have flashed "update-cm-9-20120226-NIGHTLY-crespo-signed.zip" from the official site of cyanogenmod and its works great. Now they have update on that. Could you please answer for my queries...
1.When I update to the new version, do I need to wipe data, cache....etc..?
2.Do I need to flash gapps again....?
3.When I flash the update, the applications installed will be wiped...?
Thanks

Hey, i was just wondering how you updated the cm9 latest nightly build update
Did you use is through Recovery?
A lot of Androids r similar as far as updating. If its just an update, usually u just need wipe cache and dalvik. If its a entirely different build then u will need to do a Clean Wipe. If after reboot u find no Gapps u can always just boot into recovery again and flash Gapps. Some guides will recommend doing a factory reset which will clear user data.

Thank you I tried that and it worked.
I can't wipe dalvik cache in clockwork recovery when I up my rom for Sonny Erickson ARC S.It's allways said: wiping failed.Somebody help me please?
which version you have installed the recovery?
you have already installed a custom rom?
Surely it is software default that you can't wipe it out...

I've installed so many recovery(stock,ICS,advantage...)but does't worked.Thanks for help but I had this problem to correct.I flash stock FIRMWARE (.062) and worked so great.
Noob question...Do I need to do a factory, cache and dalvik wipe if all I have done so far is root and unlock. I have also done the CWM recovery, nandroid backup and Titatium backup. Still running the stock ROM. I did update to VRALHE.
Thanks in adavance for any help.

Yes, boot into CWM and wipe data/factory reset, cache, and dalvik. Then flash the ROM

Hi, I have installed Paranoid Android 4.4 for Xperia L. Now, the developer has released a new build 4.41. My question is, should I wipe data and cache when upgrading or should I just flash the zip? Should I also flash GAPPS?
If a data wipe isn't necessary, what happens to the apps and data in my inbuilt memory when I flash the zip?
Hope I'm clear. Thanks in advance!
Hello there =) if it's only an update, wiping cache and dalvik is all you need. Then flash the update. No need to flash GApps.

You should make a titanium backup first! Make sure to backup contacts! Then, wipe cache & dalvik! Then, flash ROM! Then, flash GAPPS! Then restore backup!
i apologize in advance for being a noob. i uninstalled theme provider 2.0 (no backup). is there any way i can reinstall it without having to re flash the entire ROM?
Just flash rom and clear dalvik cache. And cache in recovery
