You really have to read the rom thread about that. Some require you to format/system or cache, some dont. Some make you mount stuff- very different. Usually I don't wipe anything when flashing a kernel. They seem to flash over each other with no problem.
[Motorola Droid X2] tallyforeman:
Gotcha. So... if I were to factory wipe, how does it know to not delete files I've moved to it? Say like on the X2, we have the external card and that wouldn't be touched. Everything is internal on this thing.
[Motorola Droid X2] trafalger888:
So I have a question for y'all that have used Odin and are familiar with it...is there a linux version or something for linux that will do the same thing because I don't see anything and don't use windows for anything aol don't have an environment where I can run windows
[Motorola Droid X2] victimssun:
At the very least, you could backup your external. But from my experience, factory/data wipe, only clears phone data (Texts, user info, anything personally setup). Not pictures or music.
[Motorola Droid X2] ztotherad:
heimdall, bro

you can use heimdall-frontend or the command line heimdall
[Motorola Droid X2] trafalger888:
Sorry I looked around and didn't see anything...have to catch up on it all now since everything is quite different lol
[Motorola Droid X2] ashclepdia:
The custom recoveries for the gnex are made so that when u do a data wipe/factory reset it will NOT wipe /data/media(which is "symlinked"(not sure if correct term,but u get what I'm saying) so that /data/media=/data/sdcard)

If u take a look around in root explorer you can see what I mean.

Take a look at this:

(This is what it shows when I go to /data/media, it shows the same exact thing as /sdcard)

And here is /sdcard:

Also, regarding wiping when flashing. I have pretty much stopped wiping data all together(I have run into zero issues caused by me not wiping data. In fact, I seem to end up having LESS issues than many other users. Lol, BUT YMMV)

when it comes to kernels tho, no need to wipe data when flashing a kernel. I do recommend uninstalling any CPU/kernel control app before flashing kernel and reinstall afterwards(just to avoid any conflicts for settings u may have put to "set on boot" if they don't match what the kernel is capable of)

Some people recommend wiping cache and dalvik when flashing kernel(doesn't hurt, tho not ALWAYS NEEDED...I have boot looped after kernel install and a dalvik wipe fixes it...just an example)

There is usually only one issue that can stem from flashing one kernel over another. And that is when one includes its own ramdisk, and the other doesn't include one. You will know this by reading the OP of a kernel thread. But you don't need to "worry" much about it either. Cuz if u DO happen to fail to boot or boot loop due to this reason, you fix it by just booting recovery and flashing a stock kernel img or usually just reflash ur ROM and you are good to go.(or restore a nandroid. Remember, nandroid on gnex are FULL backups, and should include the boot.img(kernel) as well, unless you unchecked the boot.img backup box(TWRP only) for some reason :p )

Have I confused you?

I get a little rambly sometimes and feel like I'm doing more harm than good lol

fricking confusing I am tempted to buy a sprint gnex.
[Motorola Droid X2] litetaker:
And adding to the non-drinking party, I am, lemme see... 22, and I've not been drunk. Though I did force down half a glass of Whiskey once (and thought whose bright idea that crap was...) and had a cocktail at another instance... A drink that I, yet again regretted... And oh, a sip of beer that I promptly handed back to my friend saying, "You can gladly continue drinking that piss-water..." Of course, none of these were significant quantities of alcohol to get even a chipmunk drunk, so they don't count! :p They were merely tasters...

In all my attempts, I always ended up thinking, "Why on this god damn planet do people gladly drink such detestable liquids when perfectly fine and well tasting other liquids exist..." :laugh: Sorry, but you can continue drinking your cough syrups all you want. Not for me... :cool: And the whole night life thingy isn't for me either. Night life for me is a snore on my warm bed... I am kidding, I am not 22 but 75! :p
[Motorola Droid X2] jsgraphicart:
I dont think people usually drink alcohol for the taste. lol
[Motorola Droid X2] litetaker:
Tell me more captain obvious! Anyway, that is true...

Still it is like: "Gee! I can't wait to be 21 to drink some god damn cough syrup"... My definition of fun does not involve waking up the next day with a headache and deep regret ... :D

Also my point makes more sense when drinking "socially"... You drink just a glass or two and that isn't enough to get drunk on and all you ended up with is a bad taste in your mouth and a slight buzz that doesn't really make up for it...
[Motorola Droid X2] jsgraphicart:
I agree with you there. Waking up the next day feeling crappy is no fun and most of the time not worth it. Not like I do it every day though. lol
[Motorola Droid X2] droidzika:
I probably do it once a year... and that's way too much lol
[Motorola Droid X2] BreatheALittle:
Agreed. This past Saturday I had 2 glasses of wine while attending a friend's pig roast/pool party. Those 2 glasses were enough to make me tipsy, and I had a major headache the rest of the night. Screw drinking. Although it's clichéd, I definitely do not need alcohol to have fun, or be fun, for that matter. :)
[Motorola Droid X2] thelowend:
All but 2 people I hang with are 21and always "forget" that I'm 19 so every night I'm with them ends with let's go to the bar!!!! And I'm like "....really?"

If I were to ever drink, it would be for taste only.

[Motorola Droid X2] droidzika:
1) I just looked at my sdcard and data..you are right on point on that. nice little pointer there. The first thing I did when I unlocked and rooted, was do a nandroid.. I felt so much better afterwards.

2) "CPU/kernel control app" You mean like setcpu or cputuner ? is using a cpu app asking for trouble ? i have my cpu set at 1350/350 is that good ? I didn't want to go too high.

3) Is TWRP similar to CWM ? I have CWM

Thanks for the insight.

Free buffet fooood! Love my job!!!
[Motorola Droid X2] ztotherad:
3. twrp and cwm arent the same in appearance, nor can a nandroid from cwm be flashed in twrp or vis versa

i honestly use & like cwm better on my fassy then twrp, but i believe thats just opinion..

[Motorola Droid X2] tallyforeman:
Forget that

No wait. I'm drunk as cooter brown. Thank God I made a Nandroid. TWRP is the way to go. It boots in half the time and is easy as a girl on last call to use.

On a side note: Paranoid Android can take one right up the shooter.

The damn front facing camera can't be easily accessed on the camera screen. Its not that frigging hard to do, just touch the God forsaken button..... But the little $h!t isn't there.

So I went to my ole trusty Nandroid backup of plain Jane , holy cow....

...... full functioning camera again!!!!! PA can choke on my left nut for being "buttery smooth". My damn X2 is severely missed at the moment.

So........ yeah it was just a camera issue. But when you build up your $h!t by talking smack about being a Crapple killer and it takes 30 minutes to show them something...... This POS can sail across the yard.

And another thing: how hard is it to select a spot where you are typing a message and the pointer will not stay there???? You almost have a better shot of launching the space shuttle than correcting what you've typed.

OK geeeeeeezzzzz I'm done. Gotta be at work 6 hours. I miss my X2

---------- Post added at 01:32 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:44 AM ----------

TWRP is so easy. It really is. Its almost like everything is laid out on a silver platter. Another thing is you can flash up to 10 zips in a row together instead of one by one. You gotta check it out.

Seriously considering swapping my so called Sexus back to my wife for my X2. Being the average user.... what have I really gained?? Ooooohhhhhh unlocked boot loader and kernel.....

I loaded the lean kernel and really couldn't tell any difference. It was almost like it was drinkinking more juice while I had it on charge.

Now the keyboard is slower than molasses. Somebody tell me there is a bright side to this......please

Are you OK? Told youd have problems with PA man...sucks through. I admit, I only use it on the weekends, never when I need a practical interface.

Don't know what say about lean kernel...**** usually works better than Franco and Trinity for me but....that's for me and not everyone else.
[Motorola Droid X2] tallyforeman:
Dude. I dunno man. You were right. When it worked, it was pretty cool. But for some reason, the front facing camera ...... I couldn't even switch it on. And of course, it happens when a Crapple lover is right there and gives me the 3rd degree about my phone.

When I had my phone plugged into the charger and the screen on the very lowest setting only browsing the web, I was watching my battery being drained. I couldn't and still don't believe it. Epic fail.

But in reality: I'm beginning to question if it is really that much better than my X2. Sure its faster, more memory, larger screen, looks cool- but I don't do any programming and havent even looked into it. My X2 ran fine with ICS and very little lag at all. Even the little things were easily tolerable.

Kind of like buying a new Ferrari but when you pop the hood you realize it has a 4 banger.

I just figured this whole thing out........ I've "been left in the dark."

Eclipse is the answer :cool:
[Motorola Droid X2] ashclepdia:
I've had the battery drain while plugged in also. Sometimes it seems to recognize it as charging via usb when plugged into wall(happens with different chargers amd the oem one.) Next time you see that happening, go to settings>battery and see if it says charging (usb) or charging (AC) and sometimes I've even had it say not charging. What I've been doing lately on lean kernel OS just openning terminal emulator and typing su (press enter) then type ffc and press enter. Then whenever you plug in.it will only say charging(AC) and you won't have battery draining while using :)
[Motorola Droid X2] tallyforeman:
Has anyone had trouble flashing the gapps with Eclipse? If I flash Eclipse by itself, it boots fine. If I flash the gapps, it goes into bootloop. I've tried 2 different gapps files and they both do the same...
[Motorola Droid X2] jsgraphicart:
Did you make sure they were GB gapps and not ICS?
[Motorola Droid X2] tallyforeman:
I'm assuming the one that Nitro posted were GB and compatible. I also tried ICS just for the heck of it.
[Motorola Droid X2] droidzika:
@tallyforeman I've had no issues with my setup. I didnt have much to say about the kernel I'm running...other than I've been running my gnex on and off since 7am and I still hace 72% left..oh yeah..that includes listening to an economist on NPR for about an hour.

I would agree that it looks like an oversized Nexus just as the iPad looks like an oversized iPhone. It is the same size as a Nook, Kindle/Kindle Fire, etc as those are the targeted opponents.

Just one question to your comment: Don't *all* tablets look like oversized phones now? They do to me.

[Motorola Droid X2] jsgraphicart:
Lol. I was just asking because if you were using the dx2 and running cm9, changing the boot animation wouldn't be a good idea. But since you aren't, you're good. On the galaxy nexus, is the bootanimation.zip located in system/media?

[Motorola Droid X2] tallyforeman:
I let my bride keep my X2. I put her on CM7 for stability and its still running like a top.

The bootanimation.zip is in the system/media file. I also read that there is another spot (I don't recall at the moment) that you can change the boot animation in also. Some of the files I have seen are flashable in CWR but I've yet to try any.
[Motorola Droid X2] BreatheALittle:
Ahhh I see. Before I came to the Android world, I used to own a 13 inch mac laptop. So, to me, the 10 inch tablets are closer to laptop size, and therefore a little too big for my taste. :p
