Could someone please explain the difference between the two & the pros and cons of one over the other..?
Thanks!

Many roms require that you do a full wipe before you install them. This is because there is some change that was made that would cause issues if you don't wipe. The con of wiping is that all of your data will be deleted off the phone.
You would typically use the wipe version when going from one ROM to another and all data is lost. But when staying with the same ROM and the Dev offers no wipe use that so your data stays intact and you don't have to reinstall and setup everything all over again. You might still need to setup your widgets with no wipe.
Its like wiping your butt....if You don't so it. You'll have some serious problems. Unless You have been instructed not to wipe, its always a good idea to do so.

Is anyone having this issue? I cant find a fix for it, this is really a great rom if not the BEST!!!
Have you tried a hard reboot? Do you have apn's listed?
Sent from my LG-P999 using xda premium
I'm pretty sure that CM7 2.3.7 has the data fix, but try the DragonG2X kernel, which has the APN fix that the cyanogen team came up with, should hopefully fix your problems. If it doesn't, try a clean install with a full wipe and the kernel, if that doesn't work, you might need a new sim card (small chance of that one making a difference), and if that doesn't work, you have no chance.

Yes I have tried doing a hard reboot, flashing the rom again and wiping everything and it still has no data. Also i have flashed an older rom and it still has the problem, and I know its not the sim card or my phone because with other roms it works perfectly, its a shame because i really liked that rom.
no i dont have apn's listed
Try the kernel mentioned above.
And put your phone number in settings<call settlings<additional settings
I've seen that fix the apn issue for some.

Sorry for the question but how can I flash a rom? Via clockworkmod, installing from SD card?
Sent from my LG-P999 using xda premium
I think you mean kernel right? If so, yes, thru cwm like a rom. Wipe cache and dalvik before flashing it the fix permissions before reboot.

Yes that's what I meant hahaha, OK will try it!!!

Try this, flash the tmobile recovery first, then boot into the phone. Wipe from settings, privacy, wipe the sdcard box or whatever... let it do its thing, until it reboots after the part when android flys up, pull the battery, then flash clockwork recovery, wipe everything again, then flash what you need, wipe data, pull battery, flash stock tmobile recovery, then hold down volume down and power until it wipes it's own, let it load, then flash back the recovery of your choise if needed... everything should work after this. I notice that if I don't do these steps, my use up memory after flashing any rom is pass 260, but when I do these steps, its at around 160mb

Or at least CIQ detector can no longer see it.
Probably gone, I don't think AT&T needs that kind of publicity.
Hows the modem?
nice work cdshepherd! So I'm currently rooted, KK1, with CWM (along with UOT Kitchen systemUI.apk and framework-res.apk mods). So with the zip you created, we can just flash via CWM, wipe, and we're good to go with UCLA3? (i.e., no need to flash back to 2.3.5 stock and re-root, correct?)

Speed tests are good. Getting two bars of LTE in my house now instead of one.
My house is on the edge of LTE coverage and would average 10Mbp/s down.
I'm getting 16Mbp/s now. Not sure if the update had anything to do with it, but on the surface it looks that way.
I get 40+Mbp/s at work, so I'll see if there's an improvement when I go in tomorrow.

You will have to reflash, but I don't think that you have to wipe caches, or re-do any of your previous mods you did the last time.

Not if you do it right.
Even installing a Custom ROM?
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I727 using xda app-developers app
Even that. I have flashed over 100 times on a few phones and have never lost anything. Still back it up though.
And by back it up, are you referring to Tibu? Or just back it up in general like Dropbox.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I727 using xda app-developers app
I do both. TB only backs up your apps and the data associated with those apps. Anything else like photo's or music I just copy over to my computer. Dropbox is another option. Just make sure you understand what you're doing first and you'll be fine.
Ok. So in that case, what does installing a custom rom and etc erase? Because I was under the impression that a factory reset was needed in order to install a custom rom.

OK. I'll give you the quick version. You will not loose anything on your sdcard. You will loose your apps that are stored in system as well as contacts and wifi settings and such. That's why you also back up to google for contacts. Use TB or something like it to back up user apps and data. Wipe, Flash, restore. You asked if it would wipe photos, music, and videos. It will not if you do it right. Start reading. Then read some more. When that's done you'll have a better idea of how it all works. Then once you understand the process for yourself flash away.

A factory reset doesn't wipe user data such as photos, videos, music, etc.

Okay. I'm starting to get it. I do have to read more. When your in ClockWorkMod for example, and you needed to wipe to flash the rom, does it also mandate a user data reset? Also, are there stickies on all of this so I can bug you guys less? Haha.

Is this on CM7? Are you using a battery saver app? Some of them change apn in which case you have to reset the apn for it to work again (if the app did not enable itself).
I would have a $500 brick if it weren't for nvflash. Thanks Nvidia!

Try using a different kernel as some G2X's prefer the faux-based kernels while others prefer morphic/trinity-based kernels. I agree with mansa_noob - check APN settings as well.

Heads up, you don't need to clear cache or dalvik when flashing a kernel. The kernel doesn't use either of those.
At least that's what Faux says.

Thanks. I haven't been doing that for a long time now (had read it somewhere on xda). The problem is noobs like me who complain about issues all the time and hence I think standard practice has been to suggest a wipe when flashing kernels.
Heck I don't even wipe data when flashing similar ROMs (say CM7 based) .

You need ext 4 support for trinity, so touch CWM won't work. Go to the previous version.

Also, don't get it from his thread. Go to morfic's site, derkernel.Com and then choose to view the "old site." Under g2x you will see a listing of kernels. Im using the t15 Max oc kernel. I heard his elp (extra low power) builds are great too
Edit- even though wiping the caches may not be necessary, i feel cleaner when i do it lol. Just personal preference i guess
ext 4 support?
