2. Is part of flashing a new rom to always do a wipe of data and dalvik cache? Is that just a standard part of flashing roms?

3. What does the nand backup do? Is that something I should plan to restore vs a rom restore?

4. I have two nand backups (from the guides steps), do I want to keep both nand backup or can I delete one (how do I delete the older one)?

5. What does the Nand backup restore actually do?

Thanks,
Rich

Is that right?

Can you rename nands on the SD card?
1. Depends on the chef, but most do not include it. That being said- OMJ just released v1.4 in two DL's-just the ROM and the ROM + Radio. So if you already upgraded dont sweat it. Besides I can't imagine a chef DOWNgrading a radio so you would most likely only UPgrade if the radio was included.
2.Wiping is personal choice. The bigger the change from one ROM version to the next the more likely a wipe is needed. However even with a small upgrade from let's say v1.0 to v1.01 if you dont wipe you have a higher chance of something getting messed up. I always wipe, just safer IMO.
3.Answered in previous post but I'll address it below
4.I'd always keep the last two nands in case the most current one didnt save correctly but that's just me being paranoid.
5.See #3

Never apologize Dude, we're all friends here, happy to help.
I make a nand before jumping to a new ROM, any ROM. Whether its a different chef or not. That way if I dont like the new ROM or something goes wrong I can easily get my old ROM back.
In your example of OMJ vs Fresh. If you liked Fresh you would NOT restore your Nand because you'd be back on OMJ. You'd have to set up Fresh as you like it with the backups from something like Titanium backup that I mentioned in my earlier post.
If you didnt like Fresh THEN you could restore you Nand and be back on OMJ.
That clear things up? PM me if it does not.

Yes, you can rename Nands to your liking.

OK, fingers tired now
