As a rule of thumb, it's a good idea to wipe or reset your phone prior to flashing a custom ROM. It's also a good idea to save all your files and data to your phone's external SD or to your desktop as well before the wipe. After you do that, then flash that custom ROM. If you choose to flash the custom ROM without doing a wipe (called "dirty flash"), you might encounter bugs in your everyday usage.
