Safe Kernel

Type 4 install (cwm flashable zip) says only if using safe kernel...
Have been searching with no luck... What is meant by a safe kernel?

I prefer to use Type1 to only have a single install of Maps, but every time I flash a new CM10 nightly, I lose the install of Maps and the phone says that Maps is not installed... So I would like to know if I can use Type4 to flash right after I flash a new nightly to keep my Maps app. Or ideally, could someone explain why Maps Type1 keeps getting deleted and how to prevent it if possible?

Thanks for the help, and doc for this thread!

Flashing rom removes system app.
Anyway you are on custom rom and can use type 4 safely.

Thank you, I will flash Type4 after each rom upgrade then.. Just curious, still wondering what is meant by a "safe" kernel... Short explanation or a link to to learn about that would be appreciated. My google-fu has failed me today..

Note1 ics stock kernel is unsafe and flashing with some temporary recovery with stock kernel, or any kernel have patched recovery but stock kernel (e.g cf root) may brick device.
HydraCore, speedmode and phillz are some known safe kernel.

On JB leak 4.1.1 XXLS2, method 4 worked just perfectly. (Till now I was on method 1, but this time I have not been able to find any maps.apk or similar file in the system\app folder. No problem, method 4 works).
