flash the new build and then wipe cache and dalvik cache
If you are not wiping data and don't do a factory reset before flashing new rom, than it's dirty flashing.

Can i wipe the cache and dalvik cache before flashing the build?
IDK... How it effects the flashing.
I personally do it both the time(before and after flashing).

I always wipe cache/dalvik cache, battery settings and rotate setting before flashing a new kernel. I have heard people suggesting it is good to wipe all the above after flashing the new kernel as well. Is there a reason for doing this? Is it really helping anything?
There is no reason to wipe anything while doing a kernel upgrade.
I disagree.
It's always advisable to wipe at least dalvik-cache when changing kernels.
Indeed, the preferred, no loss, logical and recommended thing to do is always wipe cache and dalvik-cache when you upgrade /boot/ or /system/.
Any new rom, kernel or radio - wipe cache and dalvik-cache. It costs you nothing and eliminates most issues people experience.
I've just changed my rom, Kang-o-rama, to force wipe cache and dalvik-cache because not enough people follow simple instructions.
Just wondering... If i wipe cache will i lose all my data and settings/preferences? Especially data in my apps like messaging...etc?
Because i plan to try this out before updating to FRF85B, ive heard claims that wiping cache helps improve speed though some stated otherwise.

Thanks, maybe i'll try that out before i flash to FRF85B and see if theres any difference.
Agree.
Wipe dalvik-cache
Wipe Dalvik but leave the other. I have had Batterylife dropping horribly after wiping my cache. But i reflashed my radio and all was back to normal. So not a Kernel issue.
But i would leave cache alone no matter what and wipe it if you experience any boot problems.
Thanks
Thanks for asking this questions. I was going to ask the same one but I just came here and read the answer already. Sweet..
I want to flash franco kernel with TWRP.
Is it advisable or necessary to wipe dalvik AFTER flashing the kernel? Would it do any harm if I didn't wipe dalvik after flashing?

You should always wipe caches to be safe, they may contain unexpected data. If you don't wipe and your device operates correctly then no problem.
I've always been flashing franco kernel with FKU. Next time I want to flash with TWRP, just to see how it goes. Thanks for your reply, I'll wipe dalvik after flashing then.
Hey guys
i want to know i need to wipe anything before or after flashing kernel or rom " Custom" - " Official " Roms ?
Clearing data and cache would ensure you have clean installation.
Yes, you should clear data/cache before you flash a new rom.
For kernels (data wipe/reset is not necessary) there's jbroid script, flash it before you install a new kernel.

It all depends though. If you change ROMs and they are pretty different you really should wipe data, cache, and dalvik. That's what every OP says on ROMs. Just read the OP.
Hi all .. First thx for the Amazing Forum
Well I installed the AOKP rom on my galaxy mini everey things went right until rebooting the system
the phone stay repeating the bootanimation without turning ON
Plz Help Me I'm n**b
Go to cwm, wipe cache and dalvik, reboot. If it doesn't help reflash ROM or restore backup.

I tried to wipe cache and dalvik .. didn't work
i'll try to flash it to android 2.3.6 by odin & reinstall the aokp rom
thx for reply

Err... you don't need to flash stock ROM again... just do a clean install of aokp... or any other ROM if it gives you trouble

Not sure about this particular case, but I'll tell you my approach is to *always* do a full wipe + format partitions and internal sdcard before flashing *any* ROM. This way I'm sure there's nothing old left (app data, config etc.). Using this approach I've been running many ROMs without most of the bugs users report (using XXLSA now), I think it's worth the time to reinstall and reconfig everything. If you don't need to keep old data and config:
1) Wipe data & cache
2) Wipe dalvik cache
3) Format /system & /preload
4) Format internal sdcard (make sure you save anything you need before)
5) Flash ROM
6) Wipe cache again
7) Wipe dalvik cache again
8) Reboot
(Not sure if 6 and 7 are needed, but I prefer to be a bit paranoid in this case.)

I think it depends on which custom rom u r currently on & which one you are gonna flash..for ex: flashing Ultimate v5 XXLSA over Alliance v1 XXLS7 may not work..

I agree with you. If you perform a full wipe before to install a new rom, the probabilities of occur in some rom's issue (like FC or just a "simple" weird lag) are low. Tested personally.
It always better/advised to perform a full wipe.
In the end, you could do a nandroid backup of your last used rom, wipe everything, install the new rom, and then try to restore the data partition only. If you get some errors or general issue, you can easily full wipe everything again, and reinstall the new rom again... at least, you tried

What does the OP states? Flashing ROMs is STILL a dangerous business.
Read the OP for the ROM you are installing

leaks always require full wipe for it to function properly.
I recently started using the Miui 4.2.2 version by deepss1 , and I noticed that gapps wasn't there but had a chinese alternate play-store.
Will it be okay if I just flashed a normal 4.2.2 gapps zip for it instead?
Hey
Normal 4.2.2 gapps will be fine.
Make sure u boot once after flashing miui 4.2.2 and then flash gapps 4.2.2...

In CWM recovery: wipe all (data, cache, dalvik cache), install ZIP of Gapps for 4.2x and reboot.
Wiping cache might spare you a bootloop experience. It could work fine also without wiping but wiping can't do any harm

I always do a full wipe before installing a new rom anyway
And as for Miui, it rocks! Not a day goes by without me checking for new updates
Same for me ,but with CM 10.2 :good::laugh::laugh:
