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.

Hey guys, quick question. I am currently running CM7 on my V but it is to unstable for me, too many FC's and reboots. I would like to flash That Ain't Sense ROM, found here:
http://androidforums.com/optimus-v-all-things-root/312747-rom-theme-wait-aint-sense-4-6-2011-a.html
Under the directions, it says:
how to flash:
put gapps and rom on sdcard
wipe the hell out of your phone
flash both and reboot
enjoy

When it says, wipe the hell out of the phone, what specifically do I have to wipe, and at what time during the process? Since I am moving to an entirely new ROM, what do I need to wipe?
P.S. I am running thunderc recovery.
Data, cache, system, dalvik cache and something else i can't remember. If am i not wrong, ROMManager doesn't work on the V, so you can't switch back and forth freely, unless there is another method.

You wanna wipe before flashing a new ROM. I wipe data/cache, then Dalvik cache then flash ROM, then gapps file

Is that all I have to wipe? I made a nandroid backup but I just want to make sure I'm doing this right.

This should be in Q&A
That's all I wipe. Wiping everything won't hurt though. Just don't do a factory reset through the settings with the phone booted up. Do it through the recovery.

You need to wipe data. Wiping the system doesn't get rid of the data partition.
Try using super wipe?
wipe
yes you need to do a full wipe and use a super wipe tool and then flash rom
I installed the KGB-EH03-FA16 kernel on a rooted stock EH03 and I cannot get the KGB App to run. I tried rebooting after the FCS and fixing permissions in CWM with no luck. I did not wipe cache or Dalvik before flashing. Could that be the problem?
Thanks
Chris
You are always supposed to wipe as I believe those are the instructions

Would it hurt to wipe cache and dalvik and reinstall the kernel again?
My gps loses connection after like a minute of navigation, it regains it but then it fades in and out. This never happened on stock, any ideas?

No problems here....
I'm running the nightlies (July 25th) and haven't had the same problem. Did you wipe cache & dalvik before flashing? If you were on a different ROM did you wipe Data (3x) and then flash ROM?
I wipe dalvik and cache every nightly. I came from stock and wiped dalvik, cache and factory reset
