Meaning with cache-Dalvik wipe only.
THANKS!
Depends on the nightly! I flashed over 140 with zero issues, but if you have an older nightly you may want to wipe. Just Titanium Backup everything.
Seriously, OP?
Take a Nandroid backup and TRY IT YOURSELF.
Someone please lock this thread.
Yea forums getting noob-tubed today.

hi, i am requesting for the kernel from the CM6 liberty froyo rom. Please help! thnx in advance!
please i flashed a oc kernel in android development and now wifi is broken and so is wifi hot spot please help!i didnt do a nandroid backup
I'm assuming your running a cm6 froyo rom. If so just flash the rom again from attn1 with a full wipe. Its going to suck losing all yet sh*t but atleast you'll get yet wifi back. In another forum script will be coming out with a new kernal soon.
damnit....
I never did a wipe after installing the OC kernel, just wiped Cache partition and Dalvik then reflashed whatever version of CM6 I was using, I haven't had any problems that I have noticed.
Just reflash the rom ad wipe the cache. You wont lose anything.

i did just that thanks everybody for your help!
I am currently running CM7 stable and loving the snappiness of it. I have not performed a data wipe/factory reset since switching from CM6 to CM7 at the beginning of February. I have just been flashing each new nightly over the previous one. My question is what benefit would I get from doing a wipe? And if I do a wipe, I know I can use Titanium Backup for my apps, but how can I back up all of my CM7 settings? Thanks for the help!

Mybackup root backs up settings,SMS,mms,contacts,call log,apps&data.all pretty good too.I still use titanium for apps and some system settings don't always restore.ringtones for example.but it gets the majority right.

The only time I do a full wipe is if I have problems after flashing a new nightly. I'd say I get away with flashing over 90% of my nightlies with just a cache/dalvik wipe.

I flashed Cyanogen Mod 9 (.zip, mtd) and I didn't like it, too many bugs.
I may revisit it. I reflashed the cleanGB MTD and it crashes. I noticed before flashing it appears CM9 modified my CWM's graphics and such.. I now notice that cleanGB has a lot of stability issues, such as crashes.. What must I do to restore sanity?

This ^^^^^^^^^^^^^ and don't forget to have repartitioned checked and include the victoryxxxx.pit file AND you should consider downloadng apps fresh from the market rather than chance restoring corrupted data.
I flash from cm9 to other MTD roms all the time.... maybe this is why im experiencing some lag issues. I may try this as well.
Did you do a full wipe? I go back and forth weekly between CleanGB and CM9 Alpha5 without any issues. I have a nandroid saved of each, and restore when it's time to switch out again.
That's smart. I went to a concert the other day, not realizing all my video recordings would have artifacts and stuff from CM9. Could have really used a cleangb nandroid!
Hey all,
couple of quick questions, would very much appreciate an answer.
I'm using MB525, green lens, CyanogenMod-7.1.0-jordan-Quarx, 2.6.32.9-gbc356f0 kernel and would very much like to update to 7.2.0, since it's almost been a year since I flashed the 7.1 and the defy is starting to lag a bit. The question is, do I just flash the zip from recovery and wipe it clean? I don't need to keep anything, except my contacts and I'm planning to use Titanium Backup for that (right?). Will I be able to roll back to the stock ROM? Because I've still got 1 year of warranty left on the device. Other than that, did any of you experience any serious failings of the 7.2.0? Thanks a million.
Install the froyo kernel builds for green lens. cm72 is very fast and stable, no major issues at all.
Download the zip and install through cwm, before that do full wipe. factory reset and wipe dalvik cache. For Contracts why don't you sync them with Google account and is pretty easy, otherwise you can just use export function to sdcard from settings of contacts application, and later you can import back.
Titanium backup is for application backup, not for contacts.
You can always come back to stick froyo for warranty purposes by fishing full sbf of your region. Never ever flash full sbf of higher revisions,2.3+ versions, so you keep downgradability.
Enjoy fishing!

Awesome, thanks! I figured I'll go with euroskanks ROM, "update-cm-7.2.0-RC1-jordan-KANG-signed.03222012-0221.zip", since it might have several fixes that the original RC does not (amirite?). Gonna head out for couple of hours and then go on with the whole ordeal, and report back in case any other noobs come wandering in. Thanks again.

woah, what a help you are! rrrrrrrr
HOLY **** it's flying. Didn't even have a chance to overclock it yet (1Gz as before), still at 800hz, however, it's so so snappy I could not be happier. I am not a very reliable source, though, since I only kept my contacts from the previous install, but that is just because I like it fresh, meaning, I didn't have a heart to uninstall the application I haven't been using for a while and now they're gone. Aaaaand got drunk in the meantime, which is how it's supposed to go down, I think! thanks all y'all, hugs n kisses
Okay, I have not flashed in about a year since I got my knox-ridden Note 3 and I am ready to get back into the game. I have busted knox and installed CWM touch and have a couple of questions
Do you still have to do a full wipe on all roms first time out?
Is there a way to quickly reinstall all of your programs that is reliable (cwm backup, titanium etc)
If yes to last what should i not restore does anything cause problems
Are there any tips
What is the most stable full featured rom (I know everyone has a favorite)

Full wipe is advisable yes, but I've dirty flashed plenty of times previously.
Yeah you can use titanium backup to restore apps just don't do it for system apps
Make sure you make an EFS backup, use the script i n the dev section and avoid play store efs backup apps as they brick Samsung devices.
Cwm touch is great, however it's not supported anymore (philz has stopped development and cwm is outdated) switch over to TWRP.
To summerise.
Flash twrp (don't need root FYI) then flash your ROMs as and when you need/want.

There is a couple of S5 ports for the Note 3, not 100% on the features (S-Pen) but people seem to like them.
you can also try MultiX v2.2. it is fully odexed and has aroma installer for many customisation. For me, it's very stable, good battery life, great support and it's one of the fastest TW rom i have used so far
