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.

Is it safe to assume deep sleep is a non issue here, and TK's kernel is compatible?
I'm currently on Cyanogen 7, can I go straight to this rom without doing the Odin thing?

As this is an mtd rom, you should be fine flashing this over CM7 in recovery. You may be able to get away with just wiping cache/dalvik, but you may need to wipe data, unsure about that. Probably best to wipe all 3.
Great job on this build. This rom is ridiculously fast and I usually replace Launcher2 with any new rom install, but this version is so smooth I may just keep it.

ALWAYS wipe data! People who only want to wipe cache and dalvik are just lazy IMO, and are only asking for problems. Just my $0.02

I definitely agree with you usually I wipe data. I notice less issues when I wipe data. I know people just don't want to reinstall their apps but if you got a backup with titanium it takes like five minutes to reinstall apps.

About to jump on this!... Quick question. Was on MIUI them CM7 and went back to ComROm... Do I flash this ROM with CWM 3 or should I Odin CWM4 (CM7 recovery)??

It comes with its on kernel. Just odin JT's fixed CWR for CM7 and flash away.
Is there any speed bumps so far?
I read OP and I can read its fully functional before anyone says it.

if you don't have it down to quickly rebuild your phone from scratch, what have you been doing all this time flashing roms? titanium backup all apps and app settings and restore after you set the phone back up, takes 10 minutes!
Is the glitch kernal compatible with this?

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.

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.

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.

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

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?

Start from the basics back up your apps and reinstall the Rom and kernel.
Maybe it's a app you have installed that's causing the problem, so install them one at a time if the above options fails

and if you suggest a full wipe so would you recommend pac rom or what other rom??
