Nope, you can wipe cache/dalvik and flash 1.0.
And the rom wipes the caches upon flash so you don't even really need to do that, but its a good habit to get into.

If you look on the mean rom thread, the developer of that rom has an installation posted for how to install each update. It also helps to ask questions in that thread, because you get a lot of users of that rom to answer questions like this, and it is a good community. I hope I have helped.
Figure this will be a good place to ask my question. how to i backup my launcher/layout if i want to wipe before flashing?

Little off topic but... I know you can use 'MyBackup Root' to backup your homescreens. Not something I make a habit of doing but it does work. You'll have to re add your widgets but it will restore most everything else.

You can back it up in titanium backup. It is a free app in the play store. Just back up [DESKTOP] HTC sense. If you are using a third party launcher then back up the app in titanium back up.

If you're flashing mean rom on top, all you need to do is dirty flash (no wiping) and all your apps, setup and even launcher/layout will be the same

if i may ask, why should i not make a habit of this. i just don't want to re-configure all of my launcher settings/layout.

You don't have to.just don't wipe and flash over itself. You won't lose anything

I know there are tutorials on how to do this stuff, but I don't understand some steps, can someone list the steps like every one of them for me including backup which is really important to me, and also what to do after I flash the rom

Could have asked on whichever tutorial thread you've read, as it would be easier than having to rehash the same thing on a new thread.
Root your phone, install xRecovery, install rom with xRecovery, use rom.
Ya I know that but it doesn't tell me about backing it up and restoring after a flash

Your contacts should be backed up anyway, your apps can be done with Titanium Backup or AppBrain, and anything on your SD is unaffected anyway so you don't need to back it before, but should have one anyway.

No worries.
Hi: I've been enjoying using the CyanogenMod for a couple of months now and love it. Thanks to all who created it and continue to improve it.
I simply want to upgrade to the latest stable version. Here's what I "think" I need to do. I would greatly appreciate it if someone could verify the same.
1) put zipped flash onto root of SD Card
2) Backup phone using Titanium Backup
3) Power off phone and choose "recovery" shut-down option
4) Choose zipped flash from sdcard
5) Wait for flash to complete
The other options on the reboot menu include among other things: Wipe, Mounts, Other. I've read in other post that it's a good idea to wipe dalvick-cache. Should I do so - and am I missing anything else?
If there's already a thread out there that walks one through these steps, I was unable to find it - but would appreciate being pointed to the same.
Thanks in advance for your help.

Since you are just upgrading from earlier cm7 rom, you just need to wipe cache and dalvik cache, nothing else

Unless you are updating from a previous version of CM, you should always do a full wipe. Take backups of your sms, contacts, etc.

If you are goin' from froyo or other ROM you have to wipe ALL. It means Data (format system)/Cache/Dalvik Cache/BattStats . If you are goin' from earlier CM7 then wipe Cache/Dalvik cache/battstats.
Thanks dude!

Hi all,
As the title says really it only shows 16 roms and i'm not sure they're all roms.

Don't use ROM Manager with SGS2, it's not compatible.

You got lucky. It's known to brick devices and bootloop them. Its up to you though if you use it or not.
As far as recommending you a rom, I would say root box, but just know posting a 'what is the best____" is against the rules, just for future reference.

Never use Rom manager. The safest way is the old fashioned, Cwm way!
Sent from my Galaxy S2 GT i9100
The way I would do it is to D/L the ROM from XDA put it on the root of my SD card, boot in to recovery mode, back up the current rom, clear cache, clear dalvik cache, wipe data, find the rom and install, reboot.
Sound ok?

Hi all,
I've been using a nightly build of CM10 for a while now, one of the ones with the memory leak. I'd like to keep on top of the most recent nightly builds on a regular basis, but I hate the process of having to re install all my apps again, losing app data and adding all the sync accounts etc etc.
I was just wondering what process people used for updating to the most recent nightly, if there are any easy ways of doing a simple backup for everything, then just restoring it after the update.
Any information would be appreciated.
Cheers.

I disagree completely, wipe once, if at all.
Twice is completely unnecessary.
Before or after doesn't matter a sh*t as long as you do it before you boot the ROM.
(I've often not wiped anything and its been fine although I'll give best practice advice here.)
Actually with nightlies I don't wipe anything, ever, unless specifically instructed to do so by the dev (new code base or whatever)

No need in wiping anything. There's a script included in the installation for that.

I am trying to find this out in the script..i dont know from where did you get it..there is no dalvik/cache wipe in the script..
So I've been reading through the forums in search of this answer but I've been unable to find a definite one. I want to try epinters cm10 but if I don't like it, is it safe to flash back neutrinos cm7 using CWM recovery? Will I brick my phone by doing this?
Thanks!

The answer to your question is yes. But the best way to return is by restoring the nandroid backup you will create before trying CM10 (or any other ROM). No brick fears unless you try to flash an sbf (which you should never do).

Thank you so much for the quick response.
Before I flashed cm7, I made a back up of my stock. Same applies if I wanted to flash back to stock using the nandroid backup, correct? Sorry, I just want to clarify completely before doing anything.
Thanks again!

You only have to backup your current rom if you think you might want to go back.
Always backup before installing new roms, or making any major changes, or even when you have your current rom set up perfectly. Using rom manager makes it easier because you can name them whatever you want. You can never have too many backups!

For all the lazy kids out there, always create a Nandroid before going to any new ROM.
It's only one extra step, and it beats flashing with a SBF and "hoping" for the best...
