I have flashed many firmwares (including my friends phones). While flashing certain ROMs, "Wipe data" seems to be mandatory (like in Cyanogen) while on some other, its only Optional (though may be recommended). I can understand doing "Wipe data/Cache" will clear out content of previous ROM so that the new ROM will run smoothly without any lag. But I like to know in which cases, we need to mandatorily wipe data before/after flashing new ROM.

If you are upgrading the system ie: upgrading from 2.3.5 to 2.3.6 or GB to ICS then its must, if you are moving from 2.3.6 to 2.3.6 then its optional...

but i upgraded my galaxy gio from 2.3.7 to 4.0 (CM7 to CM9) without wiping data. on maclaw.pl the instructions were given that as you are going from cyanogenmod to cyanogenmod so wiping data is not necessary... So how would you explain this. i ll be waiting for reply. thank u

As you all might know, the evo comes with a default htc kernel that doesn't let you go past 998MHZ. Im trying to overclock my evo. How do i do that? And what kernel should i use please?
Any help will be highly appreciated.

Most kernels other than stock will allow overclocking. Which ROM are you using? There are many kernels out there. One of the most popular is netarchy's.

Im using the default sense 2.2 rom. I tried all the roms i can get my hands on. Myn, cm6. 1.2, fresh, baked... didnt like them, so i was hoping i can change my kernel in sense 2.2 to netarchy or something... hopefully you can help.
Sent From Tapatalk
Try any of netarchy's kernels. There is tons of information in his thread. Just put it in the root of your SD card and flash like you would any ROM. Wipe cache and dalvik cache before hand. For future reference you might get a faster response in the Q&A section. This section is more for developers and their creations.

Yes, put it in /sdcard, boot into recovery, wipe cache and Dalvik cache, then install from sd card, browse to kernel zip file and flash.

Every phone seems to react differently, If I were you I would just read through netarchys thread ... the last 5 pages or so and get a feel of what they seem to like. It's easy to flash.. like the others said... do it just like a rom but ONLY wipe cache and dalvik cache.. DON'T factory reset or you'll have to start over flashing your rom.

read the thread that you download the kernel from first. some will say for aosp roms only. also make sure to do a nandroid backup before you flash anything. cant tell you how many times mine phone has rebooted into the boot loop after flashing something. good luck

Are you rooted? If you're rooted then any rom is a "custom rom". A sense 2.2 rooted rom is still technically custom, but, it can just be a pretty much stock rooted rom. So yea, you can try custom kernels.

It worked for me as well.
along the same discussion I'd like to ask another question about the new 3.0 kernel.
I'm a weekly ROM changer and usually run IceColdSandwich. Once I switch back to ICS and want to reflash JT to check out the latest improvements/updates, do I have to re-flash the GizRoot_v_2 with the 3.0 kernel then flash JellyTime? Would it work If I did a backup of JellyTime and tried to restore it when a new update comes out or does it become non flashable once I've returned to the older ICS kernel?
In other words, can I flash between ICS and JT without having to go through all the steps to reload the 3.0 kernel?
Thanks in advance to a great community!

Nope. You only need to flash the stock once; after that, flash back and forth to your heart's content.

IceColdSandwich runs on a 2.6.5 kernel, and will not work with a 3.0 kernel. Jellytime runs on a 3.0 kernel and will not work with a 2.6.5 kernel. Both of those ROMS have their respective kernels included. You only have to flash the ROM. I'd also recommend a full wipe before each flash as well.

usspatriot is actually referring to a separate question. Some of us need to update our firmware to run JB, which can only be done by flashing the latest stock before flashing JB. He wanted to know if the updated firmware would be overwritten by flashing ICS, requiring a reflash of stock before reflashing JB. The ICS and JB kernels are not at issue.
I wonder if this has anything to do with my issue with JB on a Desire HD:
I came from SmartDroid_Reloaded_wwe_1.5.2, did a full wipe, installed, everything works fine for me except for cellular data.
I'm wondering if it's something to do with JB not liking my phone? I've also tried a couple of ICS roms.. See below:
SmartDroid_Reloaded_wwe_1.5.2 = cell data works
Sabsa_Prime_v5.0 = cell data works
TrickDroid_v1.1.1 = cell data works
cm-cfX-20120925-OFFICIAL-ace = no cell data
cm-JellyTime_R10 = no cell data
cm-JellyTime_R10.1 = no cell data
cm-JellyTime_R11 = no cell data
i set my APN's to suit my network (crazy johns in australia) but nothing works..
If i connect to wifi, both the wifi signal and cell signal turn blue, if i disconnect from wifi, both turn grey.
MMS, SMS, Phone calls work fine..

As i know not needed backward compatible the only problem with cwm6 as i think is if you made a backup via cwm 5 you will not be able to restore it via cwm6 as it use a different approach for backup blobs and incremental backups to reduce backup size with consquent backups so make a new nandroid backup with cwm 6 before return just to be safe

If you already have a custom rom on your device you already have a custom recovery on it
First step update it via rom manager from playstore or manually flash the latest one from here
Then go to recovery and
-Wipe Data Factory Reset
-Wipe Cash
-Advance Settings>Wipe dalvik cash
Then Install from recovery rom and gapps
-Reboot and then install Superuser for root
And final only if you need i added a filemanager in attachment that you can flash from recovery because the rom don't has one or you could download one from play store

A kernel is the core of android but for more information just google it
To install just flash it like you flashed the rom and whipe cashe and dalvik
You will notice a better performance and also a better headphone sound thanks to voodoo sound mod(a kernel audio driver)
