Noob question regarding ROM update. - Samsung Infuse 4G

I'm currently running CM10.1 Unofficial. In order to update to latest version, do I just install in CWM like installing a new ROM? Will I lose anything?

Depends on what has changed in the ROM...if you don't know or are on an older version I'd recommend wiping data/dalvik cache maybe even format your system. It won't hurt

I'll just be updating from 1-14.

A simple cache wipe (maybe dalvik wipe) is all you need if your simply updating.

+1 ^ , and don't forget the gapps.
If you run into issues by only doing the cache wipes, reflash with a full wipe

Similar question, if I clear cache will I lose all the text logs and Bluetooth settings and all sort of tiny settings?

Yup its must else it wil get stuck at boot screen
if you are updating from previous version to newer one wipes are not needed but if you get a bootloop then just boot into recovery and wipe data
No need to wipe

When installing a kernel

When u install a kernel after installation do u need to wipe cache and then dalvik cache before rebooting?
Sent from my SCH-I535 using xda app-developers app
i always wipe cache and dalvik before flashing.
Oh so do u have to after flashing as well

No

Cache

Why do I have 70 mb of cache on xda

That is because of all the photos and many other things that are loaded up when you are viewing threads. Clearing it shouldn't do any harm.

But the cache saves to my device and takes up memory?

Would wiping cache in recovery get rid of this

That would clear the cache for your whole rom including your apps. Just go to the selected app in settings and press the button clear cache.

Home.apk not working after replacing

Like the title, I replaced my old Home.apk by the new one. Unfortunately, It didn't work. So I went to CWM and flash another Home.apk that worked before. But when I booted up, Home.apk lost. I went to /system/app it still there, but can't install. Anyone can fix this? I already Fix Permission but didn't work

I think that you don't have a patched services.jar also know as "SUPER USER MOD"
Download here flash with CWM
