Update rom

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?)

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!

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

Thanks mates, fixed it by wugfresh

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!

Help a noob out

I updated my pa 3.69 to 3.94 without factory reset and rooting it again. Should it be a problem if I didn't install the new radio and bootloader because I tried to install it and it failed.

Sorry, I meant to say try TWRP. I have never had any issues using TWRP.

Will try that. Thanks

No problem here with latest TWRP and stock Rom.
Cwm has some issues though.

Thanks, it worked
TWRP works fine.. thanks..
One more quick question, if I install TARDIS mod patch, will it affect when I move to another kernel on the same ROM?

Kernel patches need to be re-applied each time you change the kernel.
