I presently have the opengl version of CM9 and I have read around here that the non-opengl is more stable.
My big question is: can I switch freely between CM9 opengl and non-opengl without wiping data, cache, etc. or do I have to wipe everything? Can I just download the non-opengl from goomanager and just flash it?

Switch back and forth as much as you want. Just let goo manager do it's thing.

Alright, I know. It's here somewhere, but Google, and the search here aren't cutting it. I am on the old cm7(Emmc) with the old kernel, and I want to update to a newer nightly build. How do I go about doing it? I am afraid to flash a new nightly because of the kernel. Does it flash with the new build? I am running smooth now, but wanna try out the working USB. Thanks......

Just do a nandroid, flash the latest nightly, clear the caches. you are good to go. the nightly contains the new uboot and kernel.
Make sure you also flash the latest 6/13 gapps after you flash the latest nightly.
Im also going to update from nightly 87, .29 kernel and 1.1 uboot. I want to install nightly 117 or 118. I know the new uboot gets flash automatically. So just to clarify steps. First install nightly then kernel 6/30, gapps. Clean cache, wipe dalvik. Correct?
What about updating Clockwork Recovery? I've seen some people talking about it -- is it actually necessary?

Use Rom Manager to update clockwork to the latest. Can also use it for flashing nightlies... or RC1.
if you wish to check out usb hosting, you'll need to flash dal's new kernel 6/30 and his awesome app nook color tweaks

I apologize for the noob question.
I have cm7 stable for my defy and am very pleased w/ it. I am waiting for cm9 stable, but was curious if the very last nightl build of cm7 would be better than the stable mod (since it's the newest version)
I'm wondering if the latest cm7 nightly ( cm_jordan_full-63.zip ) is as stable/more stable than the cm7 stable release. also, can i install the nightly build over my current cm7 stable? or do i have to wipe all my data and start fresh?
thanks,
I hope i'm not repeating some other thread, but i couldn't find this specific answers around.

"Stable" is a subjective question, but no you don't have to wipe your data; just wipe cache (not data) install zip from sd, choose the new nightly, install it, then "advanced", "wipe dalvik cache" wipe and reboot. You should still have all your apps and everything still but be on the new version.
If you don't like 63 or whichever you tried, no big deal, wipe cache again, reinstall previous version (or if you made a backup just restore it) the same way and you'll be back on that version.
So it's not *that* risky, just make sure to use the CWM recovery for everything, not "stock" (I've done that by mistake and had to reflash sbf, re root, install 2nd init etc all over again).
hope this helps one noob to another.
@jpchopper:
thanks,
when you say don't use "stock" instead of cwm what do you mean? is there a stock way to flash the rom? i thought when booting to recovery it automatically goes to cwm?
wiui
Hi, thanks again for all the help. i've been using the latest cm7.2 nightly and all's good (except my earpiece died, and i'm waiting for my k850i earpiece off ebay.)
Anyways, I was curious about trying wiui (non ics) and wondered since Miui is based from cm7 originally, can i flash the zip the same way as i did when i replaced cm7.1 stable to a nightly, or to 7.2 nightly? or iswiui too different and would i need ot do a complete wipe to install wiui fresh?
thanks,
Yesterday, I installed CM9-NIGHTLY-120406 in my Defy classic, I had chinese rom froyo. Now I'm having lots of issues with CM9 (blocks, usb not working, etc.)and I was wondering if I can install CM7 now.
Yes usually you can, do full wipe, wipe dalvik Cache and install cm7 ;-)

1. My defy has stock froyo and I flashed it to cm7. Now I'd like to try cm9 or cm10, do I need to flash sbf or sth?
2. I saw in cm10's thread in which it gives gapps. If I flash cm9, can I use the gapps it provided in the cm10 thread?
3. My current cm7 is quite buggy and slow, cm9 and cm10 should be better?
Thanks.

Just wipe your data, cache and dalvik cache.
Install the CM10 ROM, then flash the updates.
Wipe cache and dalvik cache.
You are done! No need to do anything else. You are safe.
And Quarx CM10 is awesome!
You can use it daily.. and with the battery fix.. it will be too good.
Thank if I was helpful.
Cheers

Hi,
I flashed PA 3.95 yesterday but I can't see some of the options that I saw on youtube.
Maybe I need to install something else or it just not in PA?
If I won't find the others options I'll flash other ROM so I want suggestions for a stable feature packed and fast ROM.
Thanks in advenced

What options? Most of the customisation options for PA can be found in the Hybrid settings where you can customise almost everything.

The buttons are there if you want to thank us..
I would suggest Slimbean 4.3 or wait for Carbon rom. Both are good.
Why not CM10.2 if you want a stable ROM?

If you are on 4.2.2 factory reset first otherwise skip this step.
rest is alright.. also flash the latest bootloader and radio from PA thread first post.. z20i is the latest bootloader and .84 is the latest radio.
very imp after flashing and wiping is done before rebooting FLASH SUPERSU V1.51 so that you wont have any root issues.. Done.
