You only want to do a full wipe if you are flashing the rom first. If you are just replacing the kernel all you need to do is wipe both caches, flash and reboot.

A full wipe means a full data wipe through recovery (factory reset), wipe cache and dahlvik's cache

okay so i just flash the rom over the kernel and then re-flash the kernel?
yes. Full wipe then flash the rom. Reboot. To flash the kernel after, wipe cache and davlik then flash kernel. you might have known this already but thought id throw it out there.

Quick question, using rom manager do I have to wipe all data and cache when flashing from rc3 to rc4?
And how would u all rate nightly? And which nightly version? As I see a lot in rom manager? If I chose nightly would. I have to wipe all data also coming from rc3?
Thanks
You wont have to wipe data between ant cm7 versions. Just cache.

Do a full wipe and format cache and dalvik cache also
Then reflash miui and that should work

I did on recovery because it doesn't work on rom manager
Happened to me a couple releases back. Agreed with joemoss, I re-wiped data, cache & dalvik, reflashed, everything was fine.

What is the cleanest way to upgrade for Smoothest Rom? I've read its just cleaning cache and dalvic but for others I also read factory resetting makes it so its completely cleaned before upgrading?
So which way is the "cleanest" way to upgrade?
I just wiped both caches and then upgraded to smoothest 5.1. Is this gonna cause problems later?
Please help

Whenever I flash a new rom I always:
Wipe both caches and then Factory Reset
Then I flash the new ROM, it's always a safer bet too.

I do the same and it always works.
The absolute cleanest way to upgrade will always be to format system and data as well as cache before flashing. When you're just updating top a new version of the same ROM, though, that usually isn't necessary.
