when flashing using CWM recovery when is needed to wipe cache and dalvik cache, when flashing roms only right? or flashing other than roms such as kernel and other mods also need to wipe cache and dalvik cache

i quite like it...simple and near to stock rom but of course better performance...very stable at least for my usage la...anyway now on AOKP M3...

actually it can read but can't decrypt the tng information...you will get all the information stored but in code la...

It is advisable to wipe cache partition and dalvik cache even when flash kernel. It only takes a few seconds. No harm doing it. Cleaning these does not do any harm
Flashing other mods not necessary

what is the function of wiping cache and dalvik cache, just want to know, and if flashing numerous zip, need to restart every time flashing or just straight away install from zip after previous flashing without reboot

Lol I scanned my Rapid KL card, got sound but nothing showing up

what basseband you guys using with AOKP?

i am using kk6..

what does the baseband do ? why need to upgrade ?

hmm i oso not quite sure.. if no problem wit ur signal then i think no need to change.. but u can try each one see which fit u best..

i have problem with my signal actually. the signal will drop to zero and regain full bar on the same spot. how to know which to install ?

i'd prefer android revo hd...but since i just got aokp not more than 1 day i guess still too early to judge...

why dont u try it out both of em and decide...its fun u know playing around a couple of new things and flashing roms while ure too bored in a meeting room...XD

my bassedband abit gila.... when received/make call.... my signal gone from full bar to no network,
wait afew second...and the line came back again.

that makes my gf complain.... new phone but always "line putus"

The Dalvik cache is a place where the Android OS re-compiles the executable programs the first time to optimize them. It only needs to do it once which explains the "cache" part -- unless you make a major change like replace the kernel. If you do that, you want to manually clear the Dalvik cache to force Android to recompile the apps for the the new kernel.

I also believe the main data Cache is used by the Android OS at runtime to write temporary files for specific reasons. You want to clear this out when you try a new ROM so it doesn't re-used that cached data.

Manually cleaning both caches out allows the new ROM to be installed in a "cleaner" environment.

Just look at what you want to flash. Example you flash a rom than you want to flash a mod of its theme . In such a case , it is better to flash rom reboot than flash the mod. If you are flashing something on top of the rom which doesn't have it than you can flash it simultaneously example flashing gapps immediately after you flash Milestone 3 rom. There is no fix rule - use your common sense. Know what you are flashing. If you don't know or unsure, safest is to flash it individually after a reboot

haha.....same as mine...

Baseband is your phone radio/modem > It controls your phone signals, data reception etc
No need to upgrade if you are happy with it. Upgarde only if you consistently faced line blacKouts, difficulty in getting internet connection on 3 G. But before you change , analyse your problem first over few days to ensure it is not telco issue. Or try it with another telco simcard

how to choose the baseband ? there are a lot out there ? XXKK6 ? UGKL1 ? UGKK7 ?

I am always on XXKJ6 since day one on original rom to all the cook roms ( ARHD, AOPK, Foxhound, BIgxie APEX)

Any difference/effect if I'm on KK6?
