This is the first time I install a non-stock kernel(Overstock). Do I have to go back to the stock froyo kernel to flash other roms?
And I've never done any type of wiping before flashing but I'm thinking of doing it this time.
If I wipe the user data and DAVILK, does it erase things on your SD like pictures and videos or apps backed up by Titanium Backup?
You can flash any 2.2, or 2.2.1 rom without flashing a different kernel. If you want to flash a 2.1 rom, will need to flash a 2.1 kernel before you flash the rom. There really no need to wipe anything if your just flashing a kernel, but if you want, just wipe cache partition, and dalvik cache and you will be good. No need for a factory reset. Hope this helps.

I was getting ready to flash another rom so I will wipe data too.
My question has to do more with flashing a 2.2.1 rom(possibly Eugene's Ginger clone 3) from Bionix 1.3.1 with overstock. Is it ok to do it without reverting back to stock kernel?
Nice avatar btw
As long as its a 2.2 kernel you will be fine. It doesn't have to be a stock 2.2 kernel.

when you want to switch roms, do you backup the rom, then flash back to 2.1 and then flash the new bb, rom and so like that?

no that would be pointless....
backup, go into xrec full wipe, wipe cache, wipe dalvik...
then flash new rom in xrec
Allright. Just wondering. Thank you.

what is the best way to go from alien build #4 to go to the atrix 4.5.91 home base build?
Flash a CWM zip
and maybe do a nandroid backup so you can revert back later if you want (or if something screws up).
should I sbf back to stock 2.3.4 or just flash cwm.zip over the alien build I have?

Just use CWM. Backup, then do a data and cache wipe between roms. Apparently fastboot has a command for wiping that is more thorough, but I've never had problems just using CWM's wipe functions (I've tried every ROM available). All will be well if you just backup in between. Stay away from RSD and use fruitcakes instead if you want stock.
Good luck,

From here on out I would only use the CWM zips (fruitcakes) to revert that way you avoid the dreaded downgrade hard brick.
If u want to flash a new rom, don't forget to always thoroughly wipe old data. Use fastboot to wipe system, userdata, cache,webtop,preinstall, and boot. Then yer guaranteed not to run into any info being kept and messing with your new rom.

Please forgive the noobish question..this is my 1st android product and I am still learning...
I am currently using Task650's rom version 5 along with the current pershoot kernal....If I want to move to Version 6
1. do i only wipe the delvrik cache,then flash version 6?
2. do I need to reflash the kernal after flashing version 6
3. what is the easiest way to backup all my apps if i have to wipe everything and then put them back?
i am using a rooted 10.6 wifi only...just really trying to get the hang of if there is an order to flashing roms and kernals like if i install a new rom or even update if i have to reflash kernal and reset setcpu?..thanks in advance.
download titanium back up ( free one from market), back up the apps you want
get into CWM, wipe/factory reset, clear cache. clear dalvik, flash, and done.
if you are on pershoot kernel, then you have to reflash the pershoot kernel after you flash V6 because V6 flashes a new kernel.
I usually flash rom first before i flash kernel, since ROM overwrite kernels.
you can just wipe dalvich and cache and you'll be good bro
Awesome, ty Task
as i was searching the android dev section, i saw a 2.2 rom that caught my eye. its the Blue 2.2 Frankenstein-Fishmanmod Final. however im running Bionix 1.3.1 on a Bali kernel, can i just flash it over my rom? or i have to odin back to stock rom, then flash the new frankie-fishmanmod rom? i want to stay with 2.2's is i have given up on gb roms already.
You can just flash it. Odin to stock is cleaner

Use Titanium Backup to back up your files.

yup! after you have backed up all your apps and what not. in CWM i suggest you make a backup there too just in case you have a bad flash or just to have as a back up.
after that just flash like you normally would and then reinstall titanium backup and restore your apps! have fun!
thanks a lot sir. downloading.... ^_^
what would be the things that i have to wipe? still the same as any other rom?
1. factory reset
2. wipe data/cache
3. flash the file
4. cache partition
5. wipe dalvic

also try to backup your text messages with any app from market if you still need your sms
You can back up your texts and APNs in Titanium too.
is ferakernel possible for stock rom?
i made a nanodroid recovery for my feralab rom.
i want to change my phone to stock to give it to my brother for a while.
but, i dont want to change my kernel and lose my recovery
so, is it possible to have ferakernel for stock 2.3.3 rom?
i have unlocked bootloader
i dont have to do all these if i can wipe user data from feralab rom, is that possible? (meaning as if u just newly installed the rom) like master reset
then i can just give my phone without doing any major changes
Yeah I think you can flash it!!!!

Why you open another thread, when your question is related to previous about Ferarom???
If you just want to wipe your data, you can do it with your Xrecovery or try option in your phone Settings/privacy/Factory data reset. First try phone option, and then check if you wipe your data with that. If not, try to wipe with Xrecovery.
