Is it necessary that I should wipe data before I flash a custom kernel?
There are wipe data/factory setting and wipe cache partition. Is it necessary that I've to do these two?
Here are the steps I am assuming:
1 I download the kernel zip file to my sd card
2 reboot to recovery and use install from zip and select the appropriate zip file.
3 once done I will reboot
Should I wipe data before the 2nd step?
And please explain in short what the two wipes do. I mean will I lose all the data of apps?
No u have to wipe cache partition and dalvik cache (this one is in 'advanced' in cwm).
ICS = I SEE ASS Lol
