Follow the instructions for that rom is all you do dont make up your own instructions .
Usually wipe of cache and dalvik is recommend by rom instructions .

ok, also i must every update make a wipe cache partition, advanced / wipe dalvik cache, wipe data / factory reset and set my homescreen apps every time new?

No just follow the makers instructions for that rom .
If they say factory reset thats what you do otherwise no.

but the maker have not an UPDATE instruction... only an install instruction with a fullwipe...
i use this rom http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1457061
Thats a non Samsung based custom rom i suggest you search for MIU post/forum .
Found via the stickies .

In that case, if you do an update, do a wipe cache/Dalvik before & after update (this is what I do when I update Galnet Miui, unless it's a new stable release. I do a clean install for these). Obviously if you have problems/FC's, then perhaps do a full wipe. It really does depend on the rom as JJE has said. The maker may not have a specific update instruction, but did it ever occur to you to ask the creator of the rom either in the thread, by PM, or by carrier pigeon note ?
Initiative, tho a beautiful thing, seems to have become less and less common on here of late. Everyone's looking for 'the easy route'.

Hey all so after I update my firmware to XWKK5 do I have to wipe everything while in recovery mode is it really necessary?
What do you want to achieve with deleting all from recovery?
If you've upgraded, then the phone is in the version upgraded. If you delete all from recovery, you have to reinstall the entire ROM or the phone wont boot...
Thought I had to Wipe Data / factory reset and Wipe Cache Partition?

Instructions are to be followed .
Custom roms usually ask for wipe but not stock roms .

You don't need to do that if you are upgrading from a Stock ROM. If you chose the wipe version of ROM for flashing then it'll automatically wipe you device. If you use non-wipe it'll upgrade and everything remains same.
Wipe is only recommended when you are switchin from Custom to Stock or vice-versa else after a version downgrade say KK5 to KJ3.
Hope it helped.
Hi, I'm new here and recently got hold of the Samsung Galaxy Ace and was thinking about installing this custom ROM (RazrUIV3) :
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1478807
I have tried to understand the stickied thread at the top in regards to using ODIN to do so but I really have no idea what the thread means. I have however found a helpful youtube video to help me, but I would like to verify whether is it ok to do so:

I see he followed most of the instructions on the page but only wiped the data and factory reset, what is this davlik cache? Thanks for taking time to read my question and apologies if my English is poor.

Sorry I couldn't watch the video because my bandwidth is very limited. I suggest you look at GadgetCheck's videos on flashing the SGAce. No offence to the aforementioned video uploader, though, I just think that GadgetCheck is really reliable and clear on his steps.

The Dalvik Cache is... to simplify just a special type of cache used by most .apk files.
Thanks for the help. I will have a look at Gadgets video. Is the ODIN method in the stickied thread the only way to install a rom? Or can it just be down via CWM?

Both are corrects, but with differences:
ODIN it's for flashing stock roms, and CMW it's for installing custom roms, over the already installed stock so, basically, you've to follow this steps:
1.- Flash any stock rom you want with odin and wipe (cache and partition)
2.- Copy in to your sdcard the CWM and the custom rom (from massive storage mode).*
3.- Run in recovery mode and install the new cwm. Reboot.*
4.- Run in recovery mode (again) and install your custom rom.
5.- Wipe (cache and partition) and reboot.
Now you're running your new custom rom.
* Thats only if the custom rom you want to install need it
I hope helped you
for razrui u need cwm 4 not 5

Quick question, what is the correct and easiest way to clear the Dalvik cache on stock? I updated to ICS from GB and want to clean the Dalvik.
Thanks.

Just flash one of Chainfires CF-Root kernels through ODIN and boot into clockwork recovery then run the Clear Dalvik option. Job done.
But of course you no longer have stock as you have changed the kernel .
Update would have wiped it anyway .

JJ is correct, if it was an official update through kies then don't worry about it. I would only bother about Dalvik if you start to get flash happy with custom ROMS.
cheers guys, i guess if it wiped during the flash then no worries
I couldn´t find an specific answer for my question... just want to know if i flash a new ROM with CWM ( using wipe data/factory reset; wipe dalvik cache and finally mounts and storage and then select format system ) I loose ALL voltage settings I changed with Voltage Control.
Thanks,
Answer is probably as you have flashed a new kernel .
jje
Probably ? I´m sorry, how can I fully reset voltage then if wiping all data doesn´t work?

This isn't what you said above.
You need to be more clear. What is your question, exactly?
Are you asking HOW to fully reset voltages? (what looks like your first post, unless I'm misunderstanding) Or are you asking IF your voltages get reset if you flash a new ROM and do a full wipe? (which looks like your second post, unless I'm misunderstanding)

As JJEgan said above, probably, yes. If you do a full wipe.
After flashing vanilla root box for the i9300 and the gapps I get this before I anything on the phone. "unfortunately, the process android.process.acore has stopped". comes up. It give me to option to report or ok.what should I do?
hey man,
you should just go to Manage Applications and and clear the data+cache contacts and contact storage.
be sure that you have backup for your contacts or make sure their stored at your gmail.
GL !
after flashing rom and gapss .. you must wipe data/factory reset and then reboot.
Hi man,
It's not true...even at the official thread of the vanilla
CheerS
You only need to wipe when switching Rom or upgrade to another Android version
You should however wipe whenever you get unexplainable problems
You have to clear cache and dalvick after flashing gapps
yes, but before flashing another rom, not after

Nope, check the installation instructions for Vanilla Rootbox, it says to clear cache/dalvick after flashing gapps. The same goes for any other ROM.
i was answering for the who said you need to wipe after flashing ROM not gapps.
and for the gapps enough to wipe only the dalvik and you don't need to factory reset the device. The same goes for any other ROM.

Some ROMs do recommend doing a full wipe before installing the ROM and after flashing gapps. Cyanogenmod recommends it for those who are flashing it for the first time
