Hey Guys
I every time wipe my nexus when i update to a newer version of franco kernel
im getting tired of that is it really necessary to wipe your whole phone?
Thank you!
Edit: corrected by Josh.
Still can't hurt to do it.
Firstly your whole phone is never wiped through recovery, your media card isn't touched.
And no you don't have to wipe anything except maybe cache when you switch kernels.
Damn that's very tiring
I will wait then for a stable kernel from him cuz he's now updating every 2 days
Thanks man!
Edit: Realy can i just wipe cash...? not factory reset and reinstall roms radio and all that again?

I don't know why (especially today) people keep thinking/reading somewhere that they need to wipe anything when updating/flashing kernel.
Franco himself said he doesn't wipe.
To reiterate, you do not need to wipe anything when flashing updates of the same kernel.
Heh....do i need to wipe
Made me laugh when i saw the title lol

Hey so I am kinda new to flashing ROMs, I am currently on AOKP build 20 and I noticed 21 just came out.....I really want to update, but I dont want to start from scratch!
Is there a way to update the ROM without wiping my texts, pix, apps, launcher setup, settings etc?? Kinda like OTA updates?
Thanks

Hey,
If you are going from 20 to 21 then you should be ok without a wipe. If the rom maker is the same I usually don't wipe. If you go to another rom from AOKP you will need to wipe.
When changing roms from build a to build b to c etc I never wipe Unless the dev of the rom recommends it
woah sweet! I will make a backup and try it.... didnt know that was possible lol

you dont have to wipe between any rom, but usually if issues arise, that will be the first question that will be asked. generally if you dont wipe, and there are issues, thats probably the reason.
what was mentioned earlier tho about wiping between different roms is always recommended.
Ok, so my Gnex is starting to piss me off.
I have Flashed three roms on it with the latest being the Liquid beta Jellybean Rom.
Each time, bootloop. I leave it for like... Ten minutes, still bootloop.... I evetually have to pull battery, and restore from recovery. Why can i not put any custom roms on?
The way i am doing it is recovery, Install .zip from SD card. The exact same way i used to do with my Nexus S.
Am I doing something wrong???

Well, you should be wiping data.
Check out Post 2 of the guide in my sig.
And also (potentially) download another kernel and flash it after the rom if it still refuses to boot.

WOW!!
I feel retarded.... lol... Okay... So... I wiped data as well as Dalvik Cache, and Reinstalled, and it worked. Weird, didnt need to do that with the Nexus S I thought...
So Im on the Liquid Beta version now.... any other cool JB roms I can check out later?
By the way thanks for your help.

do you wipe cache and dalvik before flashing the kernels?

+1 that.
Guys, we need to stop telling people to wipe dalvik and cache before flashing a kernel. It's completely pointless.

really? never tried flashing a kernel without wiping on my gnex, but i did once on my t989 and it made the phone bootloop

Really. The kernel has nothing to do with the cache partition, so wiping it is literally useless. No need for it, only when switching ROMs, etc, but for kernels, no need.

I believe several kernel devs themselves have said it's completely useless to wipe. Has nothing to do with the kernel at all.

it was something else thar caused the bootloop. dalvik cache and cache involve your apps(system and user).
I recently rooted my Galaxy Nexus and flashed AOKP. everything was all good and stable, but now the phone will lag really bad and sometimes reboot.
I tried to install a new ROM, but it still does the same thing, even with no apps installed.
It's really bothering me... what could be the problem?
Did you do a clean flash?
factory reset
wipe cache
wipe data
wipe dalvik cahce
format system
flash .zip
fix permissions
This also happened to me, even after a factory reset the phone was still laggy and buggy.
If WiredPirate suggestion doesn't fix it, i recommend a total wipe of the phone through the ToolKit, restoring it like just bought. I know it's kind of a rude fix, but this worked for me

You should do WiredPirate's steps each time you flash a difference ROM or Kernel. If you do that, and educate yourself on each particular ROM/Kernel very well prior to flashing in case there are any specific extra steps you should take, then there is very little risk of messing up your phone.
In the off chance something goes wrong, the Galaxy Nexus has one of the most active development communities. Whatever problem you encounter, someone else has probably already solved it and posted a fix on XDA.
As long as you're intelligent and patient you'll be fine. READ before you flash.
And here's a nice resource if you do end up shopping around for ROMs and Kernels:

As I said, I've never flashed a custom rom before, I DESPERATELY want to, but have a few concerns… if anybody has enough patience to help answer a couple concerns I have, it would be GREATLY Appreciated, and in advance, I apologize for being such a noob, but I'm big time OCD and just worry alot.
1.Nusense6 is what I want. I'm on the latest 4.4.2 / sense 6 stock rom , s-off, bootloader unlocked, rooted. So I have all the required firmware /radios, right?
2.It says it supports the motion gestures with the included kernel, So that means when I flash the rom, it'll flash the required kernel, right?
3. By wiping the cache, dalvik, data, and system wouldn't that also delete my nandroid-THAT I may need if something goes wrong?
4.once I flash it, once I go to re-download my apps, will all my in app purchases be restored? Or better yet, if I backup with Titanium backup, wouldn't the wipe before I flash the rom wipe my backups???
Again, sorry im such a noob, I always swore id stay just stock rooted, but the features of this rom has convinced me otherwise.. Any help/ guidance would be SO GREATLY APPRECIATED!

1. Good to go.
2. Yes, kernels are packed into boot.img's that get flashed with the Rom.
3. No. The data wipe in recovery does not touch your storage. You would have to choose wipe storage.
4. Your apps may or may not automatically restore...but they will be visible under my apps. Tibu will work perfectly if you do not wipe storage.
Happy flashing.

Yes to system. System is where the Rom stores the major workings. If you don't wipe, it will install new files alongside old ones and you will have some ill effects...if not major ones.

Better to be OCD and ask questions before you goof something up. It is easier to prevent soft bricks than fix them
