Should a factory reset be done after 4.2.2? If so that steps should be done to do it?

Everything seems good I just wasn't sure. Which way would be best if things start going wrong?

If you are not rooted, i would start by finding an app thay may be causing the problem then if you cant and want to reset you can just do it from settings>security (I think, i dont have my Gnex anymore so i dont remember where its at)

It's built off Linux so it just works. It's not like trying to upgrade from Vista to Windows 7 were you should for sure do a wipe. I used to wipe all the time years ago for updates, but found myself taking hours just to put everything back. Then once I was ROM'in I could just update and it worked perfect. Also I keep my wife's Razr MAXX stock and she's done her own updates. She can hardly turn on the device.
