Many have criticise My advise to go for clean installation, but why i am asking for it.
-There is no any disadvantages to have clean installation except you have to spare 1hr
-Many user feels winners at end of flashing and post "I have successfully flashed directly with Odin/Mobile odin/CWM etc." after 10 post again appears "My device not sleeping...Battery life of this ROM is worst..I have null null error after updating this.." and so on
So these things not going to happen everybody, whoes system is clean at time of flashing, they should not have any issue, and will have best performance too.
So listen if you are not master in flashing, you dont know about your status and may have many system junks you are advised to go for clean installation
-Now many great members posting "I have succesfully wipe cahe/wipe data/Hard rest from ICS and my device is fine."
Dont be so happy, and you are still not knowing you have damage it or not, it won't show any sign of brick when you wipe/reset, it will reflect next time when flash your device N have to cry I M stuck at factorysys plz help me. Also your post misguide to newbie and also follows you.
So my humble request, dont do any wipe/reset on ICS till Kernel proves 100% safe.
Good Luck!
