3. Do you always have to wipe your device first or only when the ROM suggests it?
I have read so many different posts and since I'm new to Android ROM flashing and this one is my first, I'm still a bit confused. I know that these various questions have been discussed but I think I need a little more clarification...  |
1. Both versions will overwrite the system. If you do not wipe your data you MAY still have it however I have not tried this so cannot say for sure. (I always do a clean install and wipe the system/cache/dalvikcache)
2. The best way in my opinion to flash the rom is Version #1 which is very straight foward and only involves a few simple steps as described in the first post.
3. I would recommend wiping the device prior to installing any new rom as to avoid any conflicts.
