If I wipe system in Safestrap does it just return that stock or ROM slot to the base ROM? Or does it uninstall the ROM too?
I'm running Jasmine ROM 2.0 and I wanted to run it clean. Can I just just wipe system once and the ROM will stay or do I have to flash the ROM again? I guess my question is, what exactly does wiping the system in safestrap do? Thanks.

It removes the current ROM so that you can do a clean install.

Before flashing any rom including Omega you should do a full wipe in recovery for best results.
Omega rom does NOT delete everything from your device, none of the custom roms do that.
Good luck and be sure to wipe before flashing...................

If you wipe it all then all is gone from internal sd.
But you have to full wipe for good result..
You should root the stock rom and backup all user apps with TITANIUM BACKUP and then wipe and flash Omega rom.
After flash you just inatall TITANIUM BACKUP again and restore all from backup...

I'm using Philz Touch Recovery to flash new ROMs, I wipe data/factory reset, cache and dalvik and then install new ROM, any other steps I should do before flashing new ROM? I want it to clean everything related to old ROM

The steps I mentioned above will be more than enough for a fresh install? I don't want old files to conflict with new ROM

Factory reset, dalvik cache + data wipe will be enough to install fine with no conflicts
Sorry if this is a noob question, but currently my phone is running on the alliance rom for t-mobile (here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2748569). When updating to the current version, is it necessary or advisable to do the whole factory reset, wipe dalvik and cache shenanigans, or can I just install the rom by flashing it over the current install?

Ususaly i wipe the cache and dalvik cache and then flash the new rom.
I have the batman rom installed on my g95ff now since my stock rom got boot looped when i tried to flash a boot logo that was a size too big.When that happened i flashed the stock firmware with odin aswell as stock recovery and it let me clear my cache/factory reset my phone to fix it.Sadly i lost my bootlogo and boot animation collection i had stored but i had most of my important apps backed up with titanium,so to make up for the lost data i rerooted with twrp,installed the batman rom and restored my apps back.The rom is really neat since i can customize more ui things such as the status bar aswell as my nav bar color which couldnt be done on the stock rom.So now that im familiar with installing roms,would i be able to try other ones simply by reflashing the stock firmware over the batman rom and reinstalling twrp?
So you're asking how you can try other custom ROMs?
You don't need to flash the stock ROM and flash TWRP every time you want to try a new custom ROM. It's MUCH easier than that.
You just need to backup your apps as normal with Titanium Backup, then boot into TWRP. From the Wipe menu, wipe system, data, cache, and dalvik-cache.
Then just flash the new ROM zip file as normal in TWRP, and you're done.

So as long as you wipe your phone you can install custom roms over anough anoughter custom rom.Sounds simple enough then.

Yep, the "System" partition is where the ROM is installed. When you wipe that, you're essentially wiping the ROM from your phone.
Can anyone provide me a guide of what wipes I must do to return to the ROM stock from a Custom ROM? Both AOSP ROM and MIUI based ROM, thanks in advance

Just download the full recovery rom from here https://xiaomifirmwareupdater.com/miui/ and make a clean flash (wipe cache, dalvik art/cache, system and data). I recommend to use orangefox recovery and to make a backup of your files before making the clean flash. If you get a compatibility error just delete the compatibility.zip file from the rom zip. If you get a password request when boot to system make a format data.
