Exactly what you said. Format the phone and wipe cache. But make sure to make a nandroid backup.

I know a while back when i installed cm7 on my vibrant i had to do a lot of steps with clrad and flashing kernels one at a time... if i install with "rom manager" do i need to do any other step? does it change the kernel and everything for me already???
I realize you have only 30 posts, but you really need to read more...
that is true u do need to read more but Rom manager PRemium is really easy to install cm7. Flash clockwork-pick vibrantmtd and then 3x NOT 2x. Then go to download and pick cm7 and then download latest nightlie. If its ur first cm7 nightlie choose all three, wipe data, wipe dalvic and backup rom but on ur second nightlie all u neeed to do is wipe dalvik and backup rom. Dont forget to select install gapps

If ur restoring backup then no need to wipe anything! Just restore will overwrite everything!

Just flash it like any other rom... i.e.
Wipe all - Factory Reset
Format System
Wipe DALVIK Cache
Wipe Battery Stat
FLASH ROM
And yeah, u can flash back to ur cm7 any time.
Make sure that the new rom ur flashing doesn't require u to also flash a different kernel or radio.

go with taitai9616 and dj suggestion for best result
as i was searching the android dev section, i saw a 2.2 rom that caught my eye. its the Blue 2.2 Frankenstein-Fishmanmod Final. however im running Bionix 1.3.1 on a Bali kernel, can i just flash it over my rom? or i have to odin back to stock rom, then flash the new frankie-fishmanmod rom? i want to stay with 2.2's is i have given up on gb roms already.
You can just flash it. Odin to stock is cleaner

thanks man! however, i still want to retain my files and applications. what can i do aside from going back to stock? and still cleaning up the phone. is there any other way? TIA.
Use Titanium Backup to back up your files.
i already did the back-up. can i proceed to flashing?

yup! after you have backed up all your apps and what not. in CWM i suggest you make a backup there too just in case you have a bad flash or just to have as a back up.
after that just flash like you normally would and then reinstall titanium backup and restore your apps! have fun!
thanks a lot sir. downloading.... ^_^
what would be the things that i have to wipe? still the same as any other rom?
1. factory reset
2. wipe data/cache
3. flash the file
4. cache partition
5. wipe dalvic

also try to backup your text messages with any app from market if you still need your sms
You can back up your texts and APNs in Titanium too.
hi friends..
i have sony lww rooted and a flashed custom rom serenity v3 and vegeyance 1.31 kernel.
now i want to try another custom rom but i have some confusion..
should i have to follow all procedure again while flashing another custom rom
i mean i don't want to loose my data and contacts again i have backup but i don't want to do it again
so if i want to flash another custom rom should i have to follow all procedure like..
-flash a kernel
- do a full wipe/factory reset
- wipe cache
- go to mount & storage>format system
- go to advance-wipe dalvik cache
- flash the rom
i know flashing kernel and flashing rom is always important and without it i cant install any custom rom
but i hate the steps to follow between these two steps.....
so friends plz tell me is this compulsory to follow all steps or is there any short way...
thanx to all in advance.....

If you are on an ics kernel, no need to flash a kernel again. If you want to flash CM, then you have to follow all the instructions. While switching between roms, wipe everything except the /data partition. Then install your new custom rom. There is no guarantee that the rom will boot. It is recommended to wipe everything but no harm in trying. It is much safer to backup contacts by going to contacts and export to sd card. For messages you can use Sms backup and restore on market. Use titanium backup for apps. Done!

I would not recommend to format /system. Otherwise you may get a getprop error. The updater-script should wipe /system automatically
Only wipe it if it's recommend in the thread of the rom :good:
follow this procedure bro...
1.Backup
So you dont want to lose data...then first backup your contacts,export it to memory card,
then backup messages using sms backup and restore,u can find that on the play store...
dont forget to make a nandroid backup..
2.Gather info about current device status and the rom u want to flash
then check whether the rom you want to flash requires a different kernel other than the one on your device right now...
if the android versions differ,definitely kernel has to be changed otherwise you can get stuck in a bootloop...
visit the rom thread,check whether there are some bugs associated with your device,download the fixes required if any...
here you might find links to the supported kernels,instructions on installing the rom i.e wipe cache,data,dalvik cache,system etc etc...
download the rom,copy it to your sdcard along with the fixes if any...
3.Start flashing
First flash the kernel...then enter recovery
wipe the partitions that were mentioned on the thread...
then select your rom and flash it..,then enter recovery again if u want to flash the fixes...
4.Restoring..
install titanium backup first,restore all your apps from the nandroid backup,then you can restore the contacts and messages...
you are done
i know its a long procedure,u can get really frustrated until you hit on a stable rom and kernel...but i dont think there is any shortcut to this..
Sometimes the updater-script in your new rom may have been set to delete data,system,cache,dalvik cache. So if u don't want them to delete u have to edit the updater-script.
