Hi,
Is it possible to upgrade/update the nightly build without reinstalling the apps or losing data?
I would like to apologise in advance if this question has been asked and answered already.
Thanks in advance.

Yes. When updating to a newer build of the same ROM I always wipe cache and dalvik. Some ROMs (Avatar) also recommend wiping system as well. If you wipe system you will have to reinstall gapps. But as long as you do not wipe data all your apps, texts, etc. will still be there.

It worked - but needed some additional tweaking

Quick update:
I followed the method indicated by kwyrt. The update worked fine, but I had some problems with my 3G (I am a GSM user). Also Google Play Store force closed everytime I tried to access it.
I redid the update process, but this time, I also installed the latest Gapps (gapps-jb-20130301-signed.zip) and the gsm patch (signed_gsm_patch.zip) along with the latest nightly. I also wiped the cache and dalvik (5 times for good measure). Happy to report all is well with my D4 now and it is updated to the latest nightly build.

Hey what's up guys.
I'm on the latest CM7.2 nightly/kang from here (temasek's kang, posted on CM7 official thread). Just randomly I noticed that the Market started to FC. It does not happen when I open it but it starts to happen when I click to view certain apps. I noticed this after the market asked me to 'accept' the terms again, which was weird. I tried wiping cache / dalvik, I also reflashed gingerbread gapps and the latest update of the rom. I even tried to fix permissions from recovery and still not luck. Any help would be much appreciated on how to possibly fix this again. Thank you!
Logcat coming soon.
Someone knows maybe why most of my apps don't work after installing an update? I get instant crash, I tried to fix permissions via Rom Manager but still same problem, and I did post this on their topic but no one helps.

Try starting over. Wipe data, cache, dalvick cache. If you are re installing apps using titanium backup, try just reinstalling app only. DON'T RE-INSTALL ANY SYSTEM APPS AS THIS IS WHAT MESSES THINGS UP!
Fixing permissions will help too.
Hey guys,
The other day I flashed an experimental CM10.1 nightly along with the most recent stable gapps for 10.1. Everything seems to be working OK, but the Play Store doesn't load at all. I've tried various things, including different WiFi networks, but nothing works. I can load web pages in both Chrome and the stock browser, so I think it's a gapps problem.
Any ideas? Does anyone know which gapps I should flash?

What exactly happens? Does Google Play open at all?
You can try flashing: http://goo.im/gapps/gapps-jb-20130301-signed.zip. Make sure to wipe cache and dalvik cache beforehand in recovery.
If that doesn't work, try heading to Settings>Apps>Google Play Services>Uninstall Updates, and Settings>Apps>Google Play Store>Uninstall Updates.
Good luck.

Yes, it opens, but immediately says "No Connection."

That's the zip I used originally. I didn't wipe the caches the first time, so I guess I'll try reflashing it.

I'll do that and post back with the results. Thanks for the help.

I was able to alleviate the no connection bug by flashing the gapps package posted above after clearing cache and dalvik cache.

I just cleared the caches and reflashed and it works perfectly.
Thanks again!

im getting problems connecting to servers on updates. clean wipe and rollbacks did nothing. working off the newest nightly released through goo. thinking i might have to do full wipe in order to restore, and not sure if that will even fix the problem. any tips?

first of all check your hosts file
At first I wasn't able to open the Play store at all. Reflashed with Gapps, cleared caches. Now I can open the store, but any time I try to update apps I get the error:
"Update for __________ could not be downloaded due to an error. (Error retrieving information from server. [RPC:S-5:AEC-0])"
Any ideas?
EDIT: removing my gmail account and then setting it up again along with clearing the data for google play and services seems to have done the trick.
hi sorry if this is a bit of a noob question, but im currently using one of the 4.3.0 CyanogenMod 10.2 nightly updates which is great, but I am wondering when there is a newer nightly update with a few more bug fixes to install this, can i simply using clockworkmod install the newer version from install from sdcard or.... should i do i need to do a full installation. i.e. do a full data wipe, wipe cache and then install the new version from zip.
just if i can i would like to save my data and just get the bug fixes, but if not so be it dont want to brick my phone, lol

They put today update. The root aces is fixed since last night update. But I still got problems with the browser..
Oh I'm not having any problems with the browser, I find my applications disappear out of folders and the folders themselves disappear off of the home screen but everything else works fine.

actually fixed this problem by replacing the trebuchet browser with nova launcher which works perfectly on my 4.3 rom
Hello,
I installed CM11 on my galaxy s gti9000. All went fine but I get some errors. I tried one nightly build and I constantly got this error: " Unfortunately media manager has stopped." Now with the latest build Download manager isn't working, neither does the gallery. I get a similar error. I can disable those apps but I'll not be able to download apps from google play store. I'm certain that I did something wrong as I'm a newbie in this stuff. Any help?
Hi,
from which version you have installed cm11 ??? Did you wiping cache and data-partition??? Please give us more infos, what you have done ...

I think it was from 2.3 as the tutorial said. It was like a month ago so I'm not sure... Is there anyway I can downgrade to a good version and then install CM11 again? If yes, what version do you recommend me?

Actually, downgrade doesn't seem to be necessary in your case. I would on your place first try to install ROM again as "clean installation" and it should work well.
download latest CM11 nigtly ROM
download Gapps from the opening post
paste the files on the root folder of either internal or external SD card of your i9000
reboot to recovery mode
wipe data/factory reset
wipe cache
wipe dalvik cache (under "advanced")
install zip CM11
install Gapps
reboot
enjoy
Any news about your CM11-Installation??? Does it work now with clean-install-tutorial ???

Hello, sorry for late response. I did a clean install as suggested with the 29 december nightly rom and everything works great now. Before the install, I was getting another error, something with android.process.media has stopped working and I deleted every media file on my internal sdcard because I had lots it (few hundreds I think). I don't know which solution worked but everything works fine now. Thx for the support.

No problem, thanks and great to hear that your CM11 now works as desgined :good:
The media-process sometimes makes problems, you can clean data and a few time later it will start again searching for media files ...this should work ...
