Update from 0.7.0 to current--wipe required?

[Mishael]

ok so i have 0.7.0 and i want to update. if i were to wipe would all my app data be kept if i used titanium backup or something like that?

ALSO ON A SIDE NOTE
i have SetCpu and i was wondering what happens if i have my frequencies at say...800-1000 mHz as opposed to 125-1000. ive never seen anyone have a high, low setting so i was wondering why that was as well

You should absolutely wipe data+cache before installing the newest Sapphire. You are many versions behind. You can definitely use TB to restore your apps if you want.

Nothing wrong with setting 800/1000 as your default profile if you want.

Well you can certainly use 800/1000 as your speed settings, but an 800 min speed is going to chew through your battery.

It's not as bad as you think; I ran that for a while. As long as you have a good sleep/screen off profile you should still get good batt life.

Though it could/will depend on what governor is being used as well. OnDemand/Interactive usually works best for general phone usage. Performance if you're watching videos or playing intensive games.

But like you said, a lower Screen-off profile (maybe min. of 125-250 and max of 550) would keep the battery from being used too fast.

oh good cause thats what i do. different screen-off.

another problem! if i backup using titanium backup, and i restore, is app data kept?

In most cases, yes.
However, it's possible that apps may have changed (been updated) dramatically enough since you were first on 0.7.0 that data may be stored/used differently now which could cause data for that app to become corrupt or non-usable/restoreable.
But if you back up right now, then update to the latest Sapphire, your current apps should restore without any major issues.
