CC's suggesting the wipe, so I guess yes, it will wipe informations, but restoring was kinda easy if you sync with google, and app brain. You do have to input all the passwords etc again for apps that requires it though.

As for flashing kernel, I wiped everything (data to cache), then flashed the rom I wanted, wiped caches (cache, davik cache), then flashed kernel and everything seems like they are working fine. I just read up few things on Myn's rom and liked the looks, and he claimed king's kernel is snappy and good with battery life so I'm giving it a try.
