Will i be able to install Omni ROM by:
-Booting into recovery
-Wiping data/factory reset
-Wiping cache
-Wiping dalvic cache (under advanced)
-Choosing install Rom from sd card
-Locating Rom and flashing it ?
Without any problems?
Running CM11 4.4.2, which came with the Cyanogenmod installer.
Yes of course it will work. You can skip wiping cache and dalvik.
Wiping data/factory reset is everything except /system which flashing any ROM will overwrite.

It will also not wipe internal storage, which I assume OP will want to keep.

Hey guys just a quick question about installing nightly builds on the nook. When Rom Manager asks whether to wipe data/cache and what not, if I select it, will it wipe the internal memory completely? leaving no user files behind? or will it only wipe the system files?
It will wipe everything and it will be a fresh install.

If you update, just wipe cache
It wipes the /data partition but doesn't wipe /sdcard /sd-ext or /met/emmc.

Just wipe Davlik.
if boot is longer than normal after wipe, it's normal!

Note: wipe cache and wipe Dalvik cache are 2 different things.
+ wipe cache is a quick way to clean the current running ROM
+ wipe Dalvik is a completely clean.
After wipe Dalvik, next time it boots, it will take a lot longer time due to the device has to re-compile the whole thing before ROM start running and booting.
I think I need to drop a few lines about wipe cache/Dalvik.
As I posted above, I said it wiped clean.
Apparently, I am NOT 100% correct.
I just updated to nb198, wiped cache (formatting /cache) then wipe Dalvik cache.
After done updating ROM, booting up, I expected everything clean, completely fresh.
It's not the case, I went to Market and all old search history were still shown. Not only with Market but other apps too.
So
a. either wipe cache/Dalvik is NOT completely clean wipe or
b. it was completely clean but somehow, those old cache info, which stored somewhere I don't know, get automatically restored back.
Okay, I did a quick read of the FAQ for CWR, and came across these:
Wipe cache partition
Wipes the cache partition of the device to clear all the data accumulated there over use. This is often used before installing a new ROM, app, kernel or any similar mod via recovery.
Wipe Dalvik Cache
Allows you to wipe the cache for the Dalvik virtual machine (the custom-built Java virtual machine for Android).This is required before most ROM installations and at other occasions too, for fixing some problems.
So, I'm taking this guide on board and will wiping Cache AND Davlik. So that's two steps prior to installing a new CM7 nightly build.

You didn't happen to store them in uSD card? Or perhaps app data/cache are separate from system data/cache...
Will look into it further...
Hi everybody! I have got a question, can I do only wipe cache & wipe dalvik cache when I pass from White rabbit(CM7 modified) to CM9?? Just to not installing all apps
Full wipe is recommended.
Definitely full wipe needed or else you will encounter some issues

Questions go in the Q&A section
As u are shifting major versions of CM u need to do a factory reset too.
1.Wipe data
2.Factory Reset(U ll loose everything. Except the SD card content)
3.Wipe Cache partition
Then flash the ROM.
It is recommanded in Defy update guide for CyanogenMod.
I usually clean flash everything but in order to do it on this device you wipe the system data, cache, delvik cache. does that wipe the internal storage as well so i would end up with nothing on my tablet to flash? im only asking due to if im not home near a computer to use that wipe and flash rom program and i thought i remember reading somewhere if you wipe system data the tablet is completely empty.
If it does wipe it completely from doing that in the recovery system, can i at least dirty flash to different roms without severe issues?

Do not wipe internal storage. Just do a factory reset, wipe cache, wipe dalvik.
thank you. i wasnt sure. when i started rooting this. i thought i saw somewhere that said if you do system data or factory reset wipe, it wipes the internal storage. i was try the the prime rom. im on smoothrom and its awesome but i want something new.

Hi, I'm on PA 3.99 rom and I'd like to install Purity Rom, but it's required a full wipe. My recovery is TWRP, so for a full wipe I need to wipe cache, dalvink cache, system and factory, right? Internal and External card isn't necessary, right? Because It will erase the Purity zip in my memory and I won't be able to installed. If possible I'd like a clear response, so I'd finally understand what to do exactly with no more worries.

That's correct, cache, dalvik cache, data and system. Your external sd and internal sd should be untouched.

A factory reset in recovery wipes /cache and /data ... the dalvik cache resides on the data partition and is thusly wiped also.
You could wipe /system to be "thorough" ... but the Rom zip.should have a format /system line in the updater script.
I only ever do a factory reset between roms.
Thank you very much, it's what I wanted to hear! (Never understood if wipe factory was even wipe data ahah XD)

Oh ok!! Now I get it! Really appreciate everyone answer! (Sorry for my English, lately I haven't been using it very much!)
Hi there
I seem to have a problem flashing 4.3 roms, actually any rom that isn't stock in general.
Right now I am running syzmel's 20E with 1.3ghz overclock version 3.09.
Back to the problem: this is the steps I take to upgrade to any rom: 1. Download (slimbean, vanir asop) 2. flash v20D (unmodded) 3. Root it using Framaroot 4. Install CWM using L7CWM.zip (extracted, then clicked on flash bootloader, flash recovery, and then booted into recovery) 5. Boot into CWM 6. Click on factory reset and reset 7. Go into mounts and storage and format /system 8. Go to advanced and wipe dalvik cache. 9. Flash either 4.3 version slimbean or Vanir ASOP (tell me which is better) 9. Flash gapps (Slimbean: Slim AIO minimal Gapps, Vanir: 4.3 minimal Gapps which is found in the Vanir ASOP page) 10. Factory reset again 11. Wipe dalvik 12. Reboot
Now as soon as I reboot, either it stays rebooting, or boots once and when you reboot it stays at the boot loading page (slimbean logo, or android logo) (In other words, once you go black, you never go back. Not being racist, just saying once it blacks out it doesn't work no more). So i retry. And then I give up and stick on v20E.
So please suggestions?

Are you sure it wipes made correctly?
Danm, yes I'm sure.
Why you dont format cache and data & data/media ?
Did you try boot without gapps... Sometimes bad gapps cause a lot of problems

When you factory reset it clears cache automatically. I'll try without Gapps.
wipe data,wipe cache wipe dalvic cache

How do you factory reset? Factory Reset is NOT only wipe data

Factory reset in CWM clears cache automatically.
