[Q] Updating paranoidandroud rom guide

I know there's a lot of info on this subject, but im still confused about a few things related to simply updating to a new version of same rom.
some says i have to wipe all, clear cache and dalvik cache every time, others talk about dirty updating which i guess is without wipe, but do i still need to clear cache and dalvik, or just dalvik cache?, and do i have to flash gapps every time i just upgrade same rom?
like going from 2.50 > the latest 2.52, what i did was:
1. downloaded both pa_grouper-2.52-27OCT2012-190304.zip, and gapps-jb-20121011-signed.zip and put them in root of my nexus 7
2. went to goomanager and clicked "flash ROMs", where i selected my grouper-2.52-27OCT2012-190304.zip, clicked "Order and flash selected" and on next screen checkmarked "Wipe cache/dalvik cache partition"
3. clicked flash, and waited..
4. did same procedure (step 2 and 3) with the gapps-jb-20121011-signed.zip and now im not sure if that all i needed to do, or if there's something i don't have to do next time there a minor update.. or can i skip wipe cache?, or skip flashing gapps (unless there's a newer version of gapps)?
thanks for any answers

but i still wonder if it's needed to wipe cache/dalvik because it seems to remove some login info fx. in gmail, wallpaper and such, and if it's not needed, then i might as well not do that

If you dont wipe them, it can cause troubles.
Also, it shouldnt affect anything, doesnt for me
Edit: Gapps must be flashed everytime for PA. Forgot to mention that

Found this thread by searching.
I have a question. When you upgrade the ROM, and do all the steps listed above, does this also save the installed apps on the device?

Yes. Flashing the rom, then gapps, wiping cache and dalvik doesnt wipe any apps or apps data

OnePLus Two OTA update pending as rooted

OnePLus Two OTA update pending as rooted
Update Pending: oneplus2oxygen_14_1511091726 system update ready to install
Current Build Number: Build number: ONE A2003_14_150919
Oxygen Version: 2.1.0
Model: ONE A2003
Purchased on amazon three months back and unlocked and rooted.
I have been reading numerous threads but so much scared and confused as to how to get this update which is flashing from last 6 weeks I guess.
Pls could someone explain step by step how to manually update this OTA WITHOUT wiping data pls. Also how to root again after this update.
For first time rooting I followed some YouTube video but not finding any video for above activity.
Kindly help as I have really tried my best but cannot find a way.

Just download the incremental or full stock firmware OS then put it in your devices internal storage.
GO to TWRP (Since for sure you have a custom rom hence your rooted device) and install the firmware then clear dalvich cache and cache
REBOOT, then you're good to go

Thank you for your kind reply. However Full stock firmware OS means for current build or new build post OTA.
Also I never installed any custom ROM i believe just unlocked and rooted.
What is dalvik cache and why clear it?
Pls help.

On next power on, your mobile will create dalvik cache again(when you flash a new rom, you are changing apps, so need to recreate dalvik cache, use google to know what it is).
Now is available FULL 2.1.2 Rom, so you can go to TWRP and:
1.- Wipe cache, dalvik cache and system.
2.- Flash Full 2.1.2 Rom.
3.- Flash supersu if it was or want to be root.
OTA: 2.1.2(no full rom)
1.- Wipe cache, dalvik cache and system.
2.- Flash Full 2.1.1 Rom.
3.- Flash OTA 2.1.2
4.- Wipe cache, dalvik cache
5.- Flash supersu if it was or want to be root.
Regards.

Thanks for your rpely but its too technical and summarized.
Request someone to pls explain step by step.
Pls dont ignore my thread. Kindly senior members guide me.

Pls request senior folks and gurus to help me Pls.

hey buddy,
You should know what error code 7 means. It means that the data (present in the phone) is incompatible with the ROM you're trying to install.
What should you do ?
Try wiping up the data and cache and dalvik cache then install the ROM
Try wiping up system along with data and cache and dalvik cache, then install the ROM

Try with latest TWRP and backup your current rom
1) download pie rom and save it to your SD Card or OTG Pendrive
2) if you are from stock rom, possibly its partition is ecrypted, you need to wipe data partition first
3) wipe the system, data, cache, dalvic cache, vendor,
4) flash the rom and gapps and wipe dalvic cache, cache again
5) reboot to system
