You don't have to wipe your data if you are migrating from CM-based ROM to CM-based ROM.
And, it's encouraged to wipe dalvik and cache.
Good luck. :laugh:

Updating Nova HD

i've got a problem, i dunno how to update NOVA, at least not without flashing a newer version.
Is there another way without having to lose everything, cause its kinda annoying.
I tried update me, but that says there isnt a newer version (i've got 1.0.3 and want 1.1) so that doesnt work. I personally dont know any other way except flashing.
First of all, make a NANDROID BACKUP before doing anything stupid
UpdateMe App doesn't work for all custom Rom...if i'm right, it only works for CM7...
Second, you can update to version 1.1.0 by flashing it over v1.0.3 :good:
Just be sure to Wipe Cache, Dalvik-Cache and Battery Stats.
You DON'T need to Wipe System/Data.
Hope that help.
Helps a lot, thanks.
I'll try it, Jason Bourne saves the day again xD

Yes, u may have flashed a wrong gapps, but its not needed in this rom. Its already included!

mybe you must try to wipe ur data-cache partition-dalvik cache-battery stats then reinstall the rom.
maybe you should read the forum rules first!!! This is the general section. For these queries, why dont u see the q & a forum???

99.9999% chance that you forgot to wipe data.

I think you should flash an italian 2.3.6, format your sd (I know it sounds pointless but sometimes it helps) and then go ahead with cwm again.
