Hi all,
I want to update my kernel and I am wondering if there is anything I can do to remove all traces of the old one for a nice fresh flash.
I won't be wiping data obviously but is it simply just cache+dalvik or is there more that I would need to do?
Thanks in advance!

If you went and wiped cache only, not data, and installed a new rom, would all data remain? What exactly is this cache that nandroid wipes?
I'd like to install a rom for a friend but dont want to completley wipe his phone. I just want to install the virtuous rom, which is basically the stock 2.2 update rom and would like to keep all his data on the phone. would just wiping the cache work? I know some people just install without wiping but would wiping cache help?
And I know a wipe is always better, thats what I do on my phone. But its not mine and would like to save his data.
So I have a question , I'm currently on 110722 Nightly Jordan, and I'm planning on going to the newest 110729 Nightly Jordan.
Now, what are the steps that should I take?
should I upgrade to either the BOOT 179-4 / BOOTSEA first? or I could just flash to 110729?
thanks for your help
just flash 110729 Nightly as u flash normally..no special steps required..
one more question, to upgrade, we firstly need to wipe data, wipe cache and wip dalvik cache right?
can anyone tell me what does this three steps do? (as in wiping data, you're deleting something, .........)
thanks
do not wipe anything..u can wipe cache but never wipe data..wiping data will result in deleting everything u have ever installed in ur phone..like apps and all..and wiping cache is also not required..but it is ok if u wipe cache..
oh thank you arpith
so if I don't need to wipe data, then I don't need to use titanium backup right? as none of the apps are deleted
yep..no need of titanium backup..it will be as it is..only system files will be updated..
Can you tell us if you haver wifi problem with the new nighty ?
I went back to the latest SEA because of that

my wi-fi is working great actually, no loss at speed or sudden DCs.
the one thing that I'm worried is my camera.
somehow, the images that it produce are really bad, it doesn't force closes, but the quality of image is very poor (already on max settings) , both on photos and videos.
any solutions?
Hello Everyone!
Quick question, I was reading the KFFB and all that, but couldnt find an answer that pertained to my situation.
I decided to sell my KF which is currently running cm9. The person I am selling it to wants it to continue to have cm9, but I need to clearly, remove all my data from it.
If i perform a factory reset within the Rom, am I going to lose the Gapps, market, or anything like that? Is there a quick way to wipe the sd card and data from the KF without any additional risk?
I was hoping to maybe just use the in rom wipe function instead of TWRP, I figured that might work flawlessly.
Thanks in advance,
-Junt
Edit: I am running cm9 reloaded
Ok guys, the plot thickens. I went ahead and tried to factory reset from within the ROM, and it doesnt work. It just reboots. Any advice ?
Get into TWRP, wipe cache, dalvik-cache, SD Card and Factory Reset.
Thanks, trying that now, think I need to reinstall gapps?
Edit: NVM, everything looks perfect, thanks so much! Just in the knick of time too.

No need, they're in /system/app, so they'll be there so long as you don't wipe System or install a different ROM.
Hello guys,
I use CM9.0.0-RC2-cryptomilk-alpha7 for about one month and now there's version 9.1 here on XDA. My question is if there's some way to make an upgrade or do I need to reinstall ROM?
I tried to find the answer here on XDA but without success.
thank you so much.
You have to flash the ROM after you download it yo can flash it without wiping data but if you get serious bugs then try a clean flash by doing a factory reset
So that means if I don't wipe the data, all my programs and settings will remain?
Hey there,
Running CM10 on an AT&T Galaxy S3 and I want to wipe my phone to reinstall a fresh copy of cm10. Haven't done this too often so my question is,
In CWM, is it enough to simply Wipe Data/Factory Reset to achieve a full wipe, or do I need to format the phone? If I format the phone, would I need to re-root it again?
