Hi guys,
I want to install CM11 on my Nexus 5 that is running CM12.
Does it needs wipe my phone before? Or does it wipes my phone?

You will need to wipe your data, as it is likely to crash all over the place if you simply flash an older version of Android over a newer one.

I got my HTC Sensation 4G last week rooted it and installed Android Revolution HD 3.0.4.
Today I noticed that there is a new version 3.1.0 and I am wondering if there any way to upgrade the rom without losing any installed apps or data.
Thanks and have a nice day.
just check ARHD's thread and see if the latest one needs a full wipe. if so, you'll lose all ur data; if not, just wipe the cache and dalvik cache, then go on flashing it, reboot, done.
If it's a small update then you could just flash it.
It is kinda small but the question is if I have to install all the apps again.
If you just flash it over an existing install then no, you only need to do a fix-permissions if you get crashes and errors. If you wipe then install then yes you will need to reinstall all your downloaded apps.

Hi,
If you are installing new ROM with the same base(ie 3.0.4 to 3.1.1)
Then you will not lose any settings or apps.
You will lose any mods(battery %,crt etc.)
Just go to recovery and wipe cache partition and dalvik(advanced)
and you are good to go.

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.

make a nandroid first from recovery just in case
then flash it without wipe and see how it goes
OK, newbie here.
I've had my TF300T for around 2 years (or maybe its just one )
Anyway, I finally broke down and unlocked, rooted and applied the latest Omni ROM to my system without issue.
So far I like it just fine but would like to explore other ROM's as well.
Being a newbie I'm sure if this is some simple question.
Can I just flash my system with a CyanogenMod ROM without doing anything else?
I am using TWRP which seems rather easy to use.
Forgive the newbie question as I'm still learning all the parts and pieces of all this.
Cheers
Did you install the kitkat version of OmniRom? If so, then you can install the KitKat version of Cyanogenmod without a problem. The TWRP version for Jellybean is different than the KitKat version.

I shouldn't think it would be a problem, especially if you do a clean wipe first. I know there's a lot of discussion and debate about when you can dirty flash or when you should clean flash, but I like to play it safe so I always clean wipe if I'm switching roms JMHO.
Yeah, I installed the kitkat version of OmniRom so I was thinking it would be OK to install CyanogenMod after doing a wipe first.
Thanks!

Yeah, you shouldn't ever dirty flash anyways though unless you are just updating nightlies. From ROM to ROM dirty flashing is a no-no and could result in FCs or bootloop unless you wipe data.

Can you define clean flash?
Other than Dalvic Cache and Cache what other things need to be wiped to constitute a clean flash?

Hi everyone,
I have a question about upgrading to 5.0. I know that ART is now the standard run time, but I don't know if that changes anything with how ROMs are flashed now. Usually, you have to wipe DALVIK, among other things, before you flash a ROM so that you can get it to work properly. Unless I'm misunderstanding, DALVIK should no longer be present, so, how does that affect how TWRP works?

wiping "dalvik" or "art" before flashing a rom is pointless. it will automatically get wiped when you flash the rom. and it has nothing to do with how twrp works.
