I'm currently running lineage-14.1 and there is a newer build available, can I do a dirty flash(wiping cache & dalvik cache alone)
Yes
But if you face problem regarding anything which was working previously, you have to wipe data and cache and reinstall everything

I'm running Albino's CM11 build from 03/04 and I was wondering:
Can I flash nightly without wipe data (Maybe cache and Dalvik)
Can I jump updates and Go directly to today's one or need to flash one by one?
Thanks

If you are updating from the same rom base then yes you can just wipe cache and dalvik, however issues that are reported will not be observed because you did not do the full wipe data. It is always recommended (but not mandatory) to wipe /data
I'm currently on cm11 nightly (04/04/14) and I want to update to the snapshot one, What do I have to wipe to install this? Do I have to reflash gapps, kernel??
I already know that for Nightlies, I only need to wipe cache and dalvik, but is it the same for M builds? Thanks.
Since is not a nightlie just clean flash (wipe cache, dalvik, data[factory set] ) to install.
M builds are more stable then nightlies
ROM's based on original firmware and CM 11 work fine. Doom/Zombie/etc kernels work fine.
But SlimKAT, any official 4.1 or 4.2, Vanir or any other ROM causes hot reboot when opening camera for second time.
First time everything is OK, I can use e.g. PAC ROM for several days, but if I close the camera and open it again (without rebooting) it causes hot reboot. Always.
But CM11 is rock stable so is any original 4.3 and higher.
Any help with that?
Thanx!
slimKAT weekly 5.6's camera works without any problems .bro.

Have you done a fresh installation ?
In CWM perform wipe data/factory reset and in mounts and storage section format system.
In TWRP choose advanced in wipe section and wipe dalvik cache, cache, system and data.
or please check your gapps which may cause the problem.
always use the gapps from here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2397942

Yes, always fresh.
Point is, even flashed TFT ver 4.1 and 4.2 have same issues. Only 4.3 and 4.4 work OK :-/
Those are the GAPPS I always use ... Don't know. I'll try replacing camera libraries with version that work and see how that goes ...
Stupid Noob question... Once a Custom ROM (CM or SlimLP) has been installed..
- What is the easiest way to keep it upgraded?
- Are there OTA upgrades for them?
- Or only flashing a newer ROM version is the only option? If this is the only way, what is the best way to preserve the apps and settings?
The easiest and safest way to keep the ROM updated (from what I know, anyway) is to download the newest version of the ROM and clean flash it (erase system, dalvik, and cache). I don't think there's OTAs for this version, as none of the ROMs here are official. When you flash a newer the ROM, all your data will be saved, unless you wipe internal storage.

That's not a clean flash, that's called a "dirty" flash.
User data and settings are retained by doing a dirty flash but if you experience any bugs or problems after a dirty flash, then backup your apps, user data, settings & do a clean flash instead. Backup using Titanium Backup or your choice from the multitude of backup apps.
Dirty flash = wipe cache, dalvik cache and system.
Normal clean flash = wipe dalvik cache, cache, data and system. Always do this if you come from stock or another rom.

Think it'll depend what you restore from Titanium as to how clean it remains afterwards.

so if you already have installed SlimLP and want to upgrade and not lose your stuff, do a "Dirty flash"?
Yes.
But if you see any problems after a dirty flash, refrain from posting about the problem. First do a clean flash then check if the problem still exists.
thanks for the info all!
I'm about to flash eu rom through twrp but there is a slight confusion about wiping before flashing. I've seen someone on youtube that he wipes out cache, dalvik cache, system, data & vendor partition then he flashes eu rom. Moreover a person I know he also follows same method but in xda and eu community I found that they suggest to wipe only cache,dalvik & system & some prefer cache, dalvik, system and data only. So I'm confused which wipe should I do before flashing eu rom. Thanks in advance
Doesn’t really matter if you just do the Data, Dalvik and Cache wipe. System and Vendor would be overwritten nevertheless. Wiping Vendor is not needed at all. This device uses system as a root so wiping system should be avoided at most. However, you could still do a system wipe but i really dont see a need unless specifically stated by the rom Dev.
