No need to start a second thread for this... I'll say it again, have you wiped data in between ROMs? Or what are you doing after installing the ROM if you've wiped it?

Make sure to wipe everything before installing a new ROM, then run fix permissions (advanced options in CWM recovery) from either your recovery or from ROM Manager. After reinstalling all your apps and settings, make sure to fix permissions again.
Wipe system before you install your ROM, in addition to wiping cache, dalvik, data. If you do it right it will work

Typically unnecessary, as it its generally wiped during the install process.

I like to be sure, and I haven't had any problems installing ROMs on my N7, and I've flashed pretty much every one there is, kernels too. There have been ROMs that liked to be flashed 3 times for no real reason, so I say its good practice to manually format partitions, caches etc yourself, even if it's supposed to be done on install. If I do it manually, I know that it has been done

Hey guys, I am about to flash another custom ROM, and I was wondering, once I backup my app data with Titanium backup, where should I put it so that when I flash another ROM, it doesn't get wiped? Other than on my computer, I was wondering if there was a way to do this without having to transfer all of my data to it
Flashing a ROM doesn't delete data. What does is clearing data or a factory reset. Some Roms you have to. But in the case of Paranoid Android (my favorite, great hybrid tabui switcher and based on cm10) you don't have to.

Factory reset still does not clear the SD card partition, nothing will touch that unless you do it on purpose (or screw up)

My first ROM on my N7 is paranoid android of course. I have the build from September 9 and the latest is now available (goomanager informs me). After I down load this zip, all I have to do is flash this new file in order to be up to date?
Thanks

All you have to do is reboot into recovery, wipe cache, wipe dalvik cache, flash the ROM, flash gapps, then reboot. Always wipe caches and re-flash gapps when you flash an update to a ROM.

So if I'm understanding you correctly, after I wipe the caches... reinstall the rom and then put the latest version of gapps? (Just like you did to get the rom working in the first place?)
Thanks

Yes. I don't know if you did this before you installed paranoid android, but it's a good idea to do do a full wipe/factory reset when you switch ROMs.
Once you're on a particular ROM, you only need to wipe caches before you flash the update and gapps.
Sorry if that was confusing

My pleasure. Watch out though. Flashing ROMs can get very addictive.
Have fun, Doctor!

So I have my N7 rooted, installed with cwm, and when I try to install CM10 Nightly's I always get the problem of sitting at the same boot screen and never making it past that... Is there any problems?
Other Information: I reset to stock a couple of times due to this problem....

Do you wipe data and cache before trying to boot CM10 for the first time?
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda premium
Well I've used CM10 before M1 was announced, and then it worked, but now it doesn't. (After M1 Release)
Should I try flashing through CMD in Windows instead? I tried it through Recovery Mode before and it gave me the same result...
Kind of at loss here because I really wanted to try the M1 releases but they won't flash properly...
Sry almost forgot about your question....
I did do a data wipe and same for cache, and even tried Dalvik, but I'll give it another shot as I haven't done them all at once yet.
I'll post the results....

Long story short...
I wiped all three options (Wide Data, Wide Cache, Wipe Dalvik Cache) and it worked
I feel stupid (and a lot like a noob...)

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.

You could probably use adb to side load a ROM and gapps, here's a example of how to http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2317986

For future reference, select factory reset, not wipe data.

Isnt factory reset, just wiping cache and dalvik? If yea, then dirty install isnt the best, depends on rom that im moving from.

factory reset wipes /cache, and /data (without wiping /data/media <--thats where all your pictures and rom zips are stored)
factory reset is needed when moving between completely different ROMs (you can get away with dirty flashes between SOME roms, but its rare)
Oh yea yea, I didn't wipe the internal, something went wrong and the file was deleted, but gapps was there and all my data was there, anyways fixed and got the new nexus 7, enjoying it, much faster and better!
