You're going to want to wipe dalvik and cache (as you always should when Flashing something). Possibly even battery stats if you want to play it safe

Treat kernels just like you do roms I don't want you to be paranoid

Don't wipe data
Do wipe cache
I never wipe battery stats, but I suppose you could.

Exactly...
Just make sure to ONLY wipe cache and dalvik cache. This will ensure that the kernel is flashed correctly with no traces of the previous kernel. Again, like said previously, treat flashing kernels as you do flashing ROMs. It's easy, and if anything goes wrong (rarely ever happens, unless you use a kernel not designed for the EVO, LoL) then it can always be undone by reflashing
Good luck and enjoy! You'll be fine br0

For completeness....(? it's Christmas)
Due to some possible wipe (recovery) issues:
Wipe cache , twice.
Wipe Dalvick , twice.
IIRC

Thanks all for your help. I looked at a couple of different kernels, which one do yall think is the best mainly for the battery anyway?

I'm running SBC-net 4.2.2. And it runs great for me. Good battery and is smooth.

Do you have a link that I can download that kernel?

Yea. Sorry guys. Meant the data, don't wipe it. Several others already explained it so don't worry.

Return after MIUI

I just sifted through the forum and couldnt find anything so is there a special thing you have to do if you want to return to Sense after CM 7 and MIUI? Or can you just flash a Sense rom?
I remember on the Fascinate we had to ODIN a stock ROM after because of MTD BLM.

No you can just flash. Well you should clear data/cache.
I normally wipe data factory
wipe cache
format system
clear davlik
clear battery
then flash.
Might be to much but thats normally what I do and Ive never had any problems.

I would definitely wipe all those, especially from an AOSP Rom to a Sense Rom

FWIW, I do the same, except I don't bother to wipe battery stats.

Make sure you return to a stock kernel as well (if you changed it). From what I have heard, sense and AOSP kernels are not compatible with each other.

This is TRUE!

Better yet... Couldn't U just make a backup of the sense then just restore it

[Q] Flashing mods

When flashing a mod for certain roms...do you guys usually clear cache/ dalvik before or after flashing the mod... Or not at all. Just curious as to which method works best.

I always wipe both before and after, just to be safe.

Extremely slow Galaxy Nexus (GSM)

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

How do I do this? WiredPirate's tips didn't work, unfortunately

Cool. Doing the factory stuff worked... Can I reflash a ROM now? I really hate stock lol. Just don't mess it up, right?

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:

JellyBomb problems.

Hey guy's I recently reflashed JellyBomb on my phone due to some problems. For example when I boot my phone up it get's stuck in landscape on the lock screen and sometimes when I'm texting it get's stuck in landcape again and I can't press anything. For I don't know how long cause I usually just pull out the battery and reboot. I also have to clear cache and davik then it works. Until have I have reboot my phone Does anybody know the problem is.

Are you flashing bad addons? Did you do a full wipe when you installed? Did you make system / kernel tweaks?

Nope, I barley know about kernals to change so I don't even bother hahaha I usually keep the ROM the way it is. I forgot to mention if it could be the problem I changed the font from ROM toolbox.

That shouldn't affect the system too much; I would try flashing the kt747 TW kernel, and see if your system smooths out.

Fasho thanks man, hopefully this works.

any word if that smoothed out? I had an issue where i guess i flashed a rom prior to flashing the upgraded firmware/modem and it caused a ton of odd issues. So make sure the rom you are using also is using the same radio/firmware you are. If it isnt, the main thread of the rom should have a DL link for the modem/firmware, or there are a couple AIO modem/Firmware dls out there.
