What all needs to be wiped before flashing new gapps?

2 ways

First way(you will have to set up phone again): Nandroid first. Wipe data, davlik cache and cache. Flash a new nightly or stable CM6, then flash the gapps directly after. Then reboot phone.

Second way(This is something that 330D can confirm): Nandroid first. Wipe only Davlik cache and cache, then flash the gapps in recovery. Reboot phone

I have only done it the first way with no troubles but 330D did the second way with no troubles.;)

I would flash a new nightly and that should solve the problem.

I tried the 2nd way; it appears to have worked fine. We'll see if it starts randomly rebooting or locking up.;)
 
I may already know the answer to this, but how will I know if I need to flash a kernal?

Also, will installing CM6 speed up Dolphin Browser HD? I really like Dolphin but am forced to use Opera or Steel because they are faster.

You won't really 'know' if you need to flash a kernel but if/when you flash CM6, I believe in general you will need to find out what your phone can handle first.

Flashing one of Dec's BFS kernels can be helpful if you are a gamer, but the stock/CFS kernels are great for multitasking.

Yes, after flashing the CM6, you may see a speed increase in DB HD and the stock browser

If I ever choose to flash my nandroid, will the phone be restored exactly the way it was before I wiped everything?

Yep, that's why it is highly recommended to do a nandroid before flashing anything. If something goes wrong during bootup or something else, you will be able to get to recovery and restore a nandroid. Everything will be as you left it:D

Will I be able to run live wallpaper with CM6?
Click to expand...

Yes, but only certain ones will stick. Hero does not have the hardware to support all live wallpapers.

The Mario live wallpaper will for sure stick;)

As will the new maps live wallpaper, clouds or rain float over your location, pretty cool:)
 
The Matrix one worked on my Hero with Fresh but I have not tried it with the nightly 2.2 I am running now. And yes live wallpapers will decimate your battery.
And just for the record I run my Hero on Wifi as I have an EVO as my daily phone. The Hero is just to test ROMs and such now.
