Quick Noobie question:
If you have an older version of custom rom, do you have to wipe everything and install a newer version.
I currently have malladus 1.1.8 and I am trying to download 1.2.
Do I still have to factory reset and do all the shabang?
Thank you guys so much in advance

I'm sorry,
I had to ask this newbie question.
I see newer versions OS ROM are constantly coming out.
I am currently using myHero ROM.
So, is there OS updater which I can use or
do i have to wipe old one and install new one manually?
THank you.
myHero came out with patches for every release he made so far so it could be updated without wipe. But when changing rom you have to wipe before flashing.
I was hoping to VERIFY the STEPS before flashing my 2.1 custom ROM to my T-Mobile G1. I have Cyanogen mod 4.2.2. kernel cm42 and am already Rooted. No need for the details on how to execute was just hoping for a quick re assuring overview on the next few steps to a custom 2.1 ROM. Thanks so much..
(Nandroid), Wipe, Flash this, then this. The first link I posted was Firarat's modded CM5T5, which is the same as CM5T5 except thing moved to different partitions so that it fits on non-danger SPL, and the google apps addon. That's all you have to do lol.
Thanks so much Brother ! Greatly appreciated....
hi to everyone,
i would like to know if there's a custom rom that can be installed (the first time); after that, when some updates occur, i can update the rome with a small zip and not to reflash all the phone to get the new version? there is such a rom that has this feature?
for example, i have a stock deodexed rotted stock FRG83 (taken from development section) and i would like to know if there's an update i can install only the update instead of reflashing all the rom (even if i don't do a wipe)?
sorry for my english
thanks in advance
one and only ... stock rom
If your are flashing a "small zip" why not just flash the whole ROM? If you are upgrading to a newer version of the ROM you currently use, you only need to wipe cache and dalvik. All your apps and settings should remain intact. In and out, done in less than 10 minutes.
THANKS... so simple
Hi I currently use the custom ROM Renovate 2.1, and want to update to 3.0, which was just released on 22nd July.
So if I just want to update a custom ROM, do I still have to backup all apps with Titanium Backup, and do a factory reset with TWRP before flashing the updated custom ROM? Or can I skip these steps?

So I just did a dirty flash anyway, and it seems I didn't lose anything, but I just noticed that Xposed Framework is now gone.
Do I lose anything besides Xposed Framework after dirty flashing a new version of a ROM?
By the way, do people usually dirty flash when updating a custom ROM? Is it safe to dirty flash when installing a new version of a ROM?
Usually its specific to the ROM that you're trying to flash. However, as a reference, if there aren't any major features added, it's probably safe to dirty flash it. They'll hopefully indicate if you should wipe in the instructions, though.
Currently running the latest/last Euphoria rom on my n4, prior to that it was factory OTA'd up to 5.1 so the radio is bang up to date I would imagine.
For nostalgic reasons, I want to flash Mahdi rom. Is it as simple as flashing the rom on twrp, or will I need to flash via adb the the newest 4,4.4 radio too? I don't want to run into wifi/signal issues down the road.
Thanks.
I recommend flashing TWRP and then the ROM. If you run into an issue, then start changing bootloadesr and modems.
