Yeah, they're now team nyx. Apparently I can just like flash a from without clearing cache or formatting system or anything. Will this method clear everything on my phone? I'm really curious and don't want to lose anything. Thanks.
Just do a wipe cache and wipe dalvik and then install the rom, you won't lose anything.
Also, on safer side to nadroid backup first.

Pay attention because many people have bootloops. I think we'd have to wait for a new update..

Follow the THREAD there you will find all your answers from people who are flashing the ROM.
FYI every flash of a new ROM has a risk of loosing all data. That is why the DEV's say BACKUP before flashing
On their site, it says if flashing from ANY ROM, then you can just flash without cleaning or formatting anything. Have a look on their site. Team Nyx.

Hi...I recently switched from a CM9 Nightly to Jscullins CM10 using ClockwordMod...
When ever I try to turn off the screen by clicking the power button OR when the screen automatically turns of by it self....It reboots
How do i fix this?
Did you use acmeuninstaller 3 to upgrade?

No...i flashed from CM9 to CM10 using CWM
That's why you are having problems.
You should /must use acmeuninstaller 3 to increase your partition size, once you have done that you could run a cm9 recovery and then flash cm10 over it plus of course the correct gapps. It is also possible just to run acmeuninstaller 3 on its own but that's not something I've tried.
Have a read of this thread it's well written has video if you want and links to everything you could possibly need.

I dont want to lose any apps, any app data, any pictures, any videos, any music, and ant settings
Would that be possible while using ACMEUNINSTALLER3?
Thanks for all your Help!
Do you have or did you make a backup before installing cm10?
Edit where I have said acmeuninstaller 3 it should read acmeinstaller3

Sadly...no. Most of the important stuff is in the "SD card" and in system...cm10 shows that i have only a gig of apps in "system". I can move move everything to "Sd card", would i still be able to use acmeinstaller3 without losing ANYTHING
You can try just running acmeinstaller3, but I am unsure of what the result will be.
Good luck

You need to reboot into the recovery and flash the GApps (Google Apps) which should have all the sync and play store files to work

hmm, I think I'd start from scratch, not sure where you went wrong or if my idea would have worked.
Flash stock android (an FTF) and re-root this will definitely fix things up

Many times developers don't specifically state that you must wipe data, but the fact that not doing so generally gives rise to so many errors, that I'm surprised people still "dirty flash" and complain about errors.
On the other hand, if clearing data for the play store/google framework/etc. didn't work as @matt4321 suggested, and you are still can't access the play store after flashing an FTF (and having wiped /data, obviously), then it's most likely a problem with the GAPPS that come with your FTF/ROM that you flashed (unlikely), or a problem with your internet connection.
If you have any .apk file you wish to install, and you have ADB installed on your computer, just enable USB debugging in developer settings, connect USB cable, connect to your phone through ADB (adb -d shell) and type:
Code:
cd /storage/sdcard0 (or sdcard1, or wherever your .apk file is located)
pm install name-of-your-apk.apk
Something which can also be done with a terminal emulator, which I doubt you have since you don't have access to the Play Store.
Unbelievable
i did all those things, lost all the data, everything i did with that phone so far and now i solved it by simply setting time manually and forgetting and reconnecting to my wifi, i want to sincerely thank you all for you help, namely matt4321, for keeping my hopes up, i'll try towelroot again
i mean, would you believe it? something as simple as reconnecting my own wifi
Why is that exactly? I tried decrypting with wugfresh nexus toolkit and it bootlooped my nexus 6, could I flash CM 12 on the nexus 6 w/o decryption?
wrong section
1. Don't use a toolkit to root/flash anything on your nexus. Learn the ropes and use fastboot, there is no reason to use some toolkit. if you dont understand what the commands are doing there is no reason to be using a nexus or flashing custom software.
2. The only reason anyone states that is because if you encrypt you have to wipe userdata aka your internal storage to decrypt, its only to save time
3. This best belongs in the QandA sections, not original development.
Good luck with your nexus.

As @Circaflex said, don't use a toolkit. Follow this thread > http://forum.xda-developers.com/nexus-6/development/disable-forced-encryption-gain-root-t2946715
As a side note, if you use a toolkit and it bootloops you, before going nuts, try fastboot erase cache. That should solve your problem but yes, you are always better off to avoid the toolkits and do it through fastboot yourself.
You can flash a ROM if you're encrypted or decrypted. It makes no difference, the only difference would be what kernel you're using.
If the kernel is encrypted then it will only run encrypted. If it's encryptable then it can be either or and it'll leave your current encryption or decryption the same.

Hello Friends,
I am using Samsung Galaxy SIII (GT-I9300) with Android 4.3. I have rooted my device via Kingoroot. I want to try many Xposed modules but the thing is that I am scared that I will brick my device or cause it to bootloop. Since many users have complained about the same so I am reluctant to try it. What precautions should I take before installing Xposed? And say if I go into bootloop, then how to recover from it and will it delete all the data from the phone?
Thanks

Quite easy: make a nandroid backup first. The easiest way would be through custom recovery. After you have made the backup, you can install Xposed.
For information about how to recover from bootloops, check the S III section here on XDA. There you will most likely also find further information about installing Xposed.
By the way, Kingroot isn't the best app to root your device in my opinion. If possible, I would recommend to switch to SuperSU instead.
You can have your answers in your device's forum... It's where you should start... You have to read before doing anything you're not familiar with... Look for how to return to stock, custom recovey/nandroid backup....

Use this guide to switch from KingRoot to SuperSU. Alternatively, you can use this guide.
The webpage you linked seems to be infected with malicious software. Could you remove it from your post so that others won't click it?
Making a nandroid backup is rather simple: boot into recovery (TWRP is recommended) and click on backup. Then select everything and confirm. Wait until it is finished and you are done. Please make yourself familiar with TWRP and backups before flashing anything.
