Hello,
I'm currently running CM11 and I flashed custom dialer in TWRP and I can not restore back to stock dialer. Each time I flash nightly dialer stays the same. I assume I need clean flash of CM11 to overwrite it. But how do I do that? Just flashing currently nightly just upgrades what is there already, so how do I start from scratch?
All the nightlies I've seen are full roms. Wipe system, data, and the caches.

I have ParanoidAndroid 3.15 installed along with Trinity kernel.
I want to update it to ParanoidAndrodid 3.60.
Do I need to wipe everything and then proceed flashing the ROM, gapps and the kernel or I just wipe cache and then flash the updated ROM?
-sorry if i made some mistakes. English is not my primary language.

Did you try it? I'm pretty paranoid about my Nexus 4, I don't want to brick it.

That's how you update any ROM. If you want to do a clean install then do a factory reset flash ROM gapps and kernel reboot. Kernel is optional

if youre updating a rom, a dirty flash is fine(without wiping anything), just flash the updated rom, gapps, kernel, and any other mods you use. when installing a rom, your cache/dalvik automatically get wiped, so no need to do it during a dirty flash. if you are installing a new rom, then you have to wipe data(factory reset).
So I was running CM10.1 nightlies with Franco Kernel and decided to make the jump to CM10.2. The ROM and gApps flash went just fine, but like a dummy, I flashed the version of Franco kernel that I'd been using before, which I guess is not compatible with 4.3. The phone seemed to be softbricked and would just hang at the Cyanogen boot animation. I can get into recovery and I've tried to reflash both CM10.1 and CM10.2 - both hang at the boot animation. I can go back to my stock backup just fine, but then when I try to flash CM again (either version), I have the same hanging problem. Does CM store like a memory of the kernel that you have flashed and try to revert to that? Why can't I flash CM again once I've gone back to stock (and the stock kernel)? Would reflashing the stock image fresh (rather than using a TWRP backup) change anything? I'm pretty inexperienced with this and would appreciated any help. Thanks in advance!

Just to be sure how much juice was left while you were flashing CM rom?? Reading your problem I would suggest you to do a fresh Stock image installation and then try flashing CM 10.2.
Have you tried restoring your NANDROID backup, if you made one??

I have restored the NANDROID backup successfully, but unfortunately I was lazy and only have the backup from when I first got the phone.
I backed everything up with Titanium Backup right before I tried to flash CM10.2. If I do a complete stock reflash, do I lose all the data I backed up with TB? I do have some app data that I would really like to keep if possible.
One other resort I thought of was flashing a different custom ROM (Paranoid Android maybe?) and then restoring my TB backup. Would there be any reason that I shouldn't be able to reflash CM after I've restored the stock NANDROID?

Try this.
As you are able to go in recovery,
Wipe cache , dalvik cache, system, data install PA 3.97 flash pa_gapps then supersu v1.51(for root,also enable app+adb from developer option)
wipe cache and dalvck again and reboot..
P.S : Charge your battery first to 80% minimum and flash the rom.
If the above doesn't help,
Backup all you valuable data into pc, backup app+data through TB move it to pc and flash the factory image through fastboot.

I ended up flashing the stock image and completely wiping all data. I then tried to install CM10.2 again and it still hung at the CM boot animation for about 15 minutes. It shouldn't take that long to flash, right?

Did you use the Franco.Kernel for the JSS build?

I am sure this is a stupid question, but I've looked and not found a definitive answer so I'll try here.
I have a LG G2 (AT&T) which I have rooted/clockwork/CM11. I did most of it when I had a failed OTA send me into a bootloop. (I had rooted the stock and removed some bloat which it didn't care for). I love CM11 however, there are some issues with the M5 build that I think are solved in the nightlies.
My questions are as follows:
(1) If I start flashing nightlies am I going to loose everything on my phone?
(1a) If so? How do people handle nightly flashes and always having a phone that needs setup?
(1b) If not, how do I flash the CM rom? I assume through recovery like I did before.
(2) Is there an easier way to backup and restore my setup to my phone?
(2a) I have titanium backup, and I have backed up all system and apps. However, I am not sure if restoring that will mess things up after flashing.
So basically, I'm looking to find out how people use the nightly builds and still have a mostly functioning phone on a day to day basis?
Thank you!
Before flashing a nightly for the first time:
You will need to wipe cache, dalvik cache, and data (user data--not internal storage).
Updating to the newest nightly:
You will only need to wipe cache and dalvik before flashing the new nightly. You will not lose your setup or apps. CM has its own OTA app that will automatically install new nightlies via your custom recovery (CWM or TWRP)

Thanks! I'm new to CM, and the thought of wiping my phone every evening was kind of scary.

Yeah once you're on nightlies, it's not a big deal. But after your FIRST flash of the nightlie, also be sure to flash the correct GApps package, which includes apps like the Google Play Store.
Did something change within the framework?
I did not wipe date...I flashed new radio, bootloader, wiped and flashed cache, flashed boot, system, and vendor.
My phone booted up fine, but all exsisting apps all force close.
Did I do something wrong?
I was coming from a custom rom (pure nexus) and flashing the stock images...maybe thats where the hiccup is?
for now I am just restoring my backup.
Waiting for someone to come up with a flashable stock 6.0.1 ROM, hopefully, so I can keep my apps/settings and do a dirty flash.

That was definitely the problem. If you don't wipe data and flash the stock ROM over the top you'll encounter issues.
Hello everyone. What if I update cm12.1 by reverting to stock rom and flashing newer cm12.1 build? Would it make device and install cleaner? Or it is unnecesary and reverting back to stock is as clean as wiping everything? I feel kinda dirty while flashing cm12.1 updates by nikolaa one on top of another.
Then go wash your self.
It won't be any cleaner. Every time you install the rom you wipe needed partitions. When you install kernel you didn't need to wipe anything. From time to time (once in 3~6 months) even staying on same Android version it's recommend to wipe & apps (data partition).
Thanks for your answer
