My phone is Samsung Galaxy Ace.
1. If a phone is running stock ROM and unrooted, how can I wipe the dalvik cache?
Does the 'wipe cache partition' in recovery refer to the Dalvik cache? Does it
clean the Dalvik cache?
2. Are there other caches in my phone that needs 'cleaning' or is Dalvik the only cache in there?
Thank you!
Well, I'm not sure, but I think that you need root access to can clean dalvik

Why do you need to clear the cache? I think you need a custom recovery and maybe root also. I could be wrong.

Dalvik cache is in advanced menu, in recovery. Maybe you need root, dont know since i first rooted

There are basically 2 different caches that should be wiped when you are flashing between ROM's (or experiencing issues), the cache and the Dalvik cache. They are accessed from your recovery method (you need root) and depending which one you are using they are accessed differently, the 2 most famous (imo) are clockword and AmonRa. Now, if you are not rooted then the only way to clear your cache is by factory resetting your phone (which will erase everything). I know this clears your data and settings but not sure if it clears all the caches...

Hi all,
on my very first flash of CM7, I had to install gapps. All worked well and I was happy.
Since then, every time I flash CM7, I get gapps already installed (yes I wiped all, yes I cleared dalvik cache, I even did the lock/unlock thing in order to clear all data).
I somehow get the feeling that my flashes are not a "clean" install.
did anyone else experience this as well?
thanks...
On your first time on CM7, wipe everything, flash cm7, flash gapps. When you want to update cm7, jus wipe cache and dalvik, then flash the updated cm7. No need to reflash gapps, no need to do a full wipe either.... unless you want to.
-Nexus S
So you mean that from now on. Gapps will always be installed? Even after full wipe/ factory settings?

That's not what he meant. He meant that if you are upgrading CM7, you do not need a full wipe at all.
But after a full wipe your Gapsps should be gone. It's weird that it is still there after a wipe. :S
It's still there after a wipe... is there a way to make sure I full wipe correctly?

Wipe Factory/Dalvik/Cache: Full Wipe
Wipe Factory: Removes Apps + Settings
Wipe Dalvik/Cache: Wipes the cache but your apps + settings remain.
Wiping factory will delete your Gapps.
Proper way to flash CM7:
1. Wipe Factory/Dalvik/Cache
2. Flash CM7
3. Flash Gapps
4. Flash Kernel (Optional)
5. Reboot
Proper way to upgrade
1. Wipe Dalvik/Cache (Optional)
2. Flash Kernel (Optional)
3. Flash CM7
3. Reboot

Upgrading to newer versions will now keep all your data in tact, so gapps will be there etc.
great, I think it's all sorted out now.
just one question though, I've read that CWM dalvic cache wipe doesn't work. Is that true?
If so, what is the best way to wipe dalvic cache and do factory reset (fastboot/adb commands are also welcome..)

It works. Somebody confirmed this, the error that pops up during CWR is SD EXT.
You can check for yourself, run a logcat (search the forum) while the phones booting.
Okay, I'm pretty sure this is a stupid question but....I never really understood what a full wipe is...Is it where you wipe data/factory reset, cache partition, and dalvik cache? Or one of those 3 or 2 of them?
Full wipe = factory reset.
Your personal data will be wiped out.
So do I need to wipe the cache partition as well or just factory reset?

Hello. I use Samsung Captivate smartphone.
When I chose "wipe data" in CWM menu (while installing new rom), it does not wipe it... does anyone know why?
thank you.
wipe data, wipe dalvik cache, wipe everything just to be safe
and when you boot your phone, do a factory reset

What do you mean does wipe? How's your new rom installation result? For custom rom it is needed to wipe otherwise you'll get a boot loop

New ROM is working well, but sometimes it is working slow... and sometimes Dialer is exiting when i want to type digits.
What cwm are you using? I'm on an atrix but I know some cwm on the atrix do not wipe properly and we have to use fastboot to wipe. Not sure how that works on your device.

CwM is: Dark Core Recovery v3.0.2.8x
HTC Flyer: Rooted with S-off, with Revolutionary CMW 4.0.1.4
At the first attempt, I flashed the SU.zip and got the tablet working. But then i decided to flash the Leedroid rom.
Within revolutionary, i wipe the data/cache/davche and then flash the new leedroid rom. There are no issues on flashing the rom and it was successful, however when i reboot.... it is stuck on the HTC logo screen. After 20-30 minutes, the tablet just shuts itself off.
Due to this, i decided the wipe again and install a different rom (CoolHoney3D) however same issue. Then i decided to go back to original SU.zip and that is not working now as it has the same issue.
I downloaded the recovery image for the HTC flyer and try to install it with Scottsrom. No LUCK
I believe i am missing a step in the whole process. please let me know what the problem is. I read all the tutorial to do the recovery but i am a noob and couldnt figure it out. sorry for my bad english..
Thanks!

IF you have done a full wipe then you will have to flash again the rom....you have no information in your device....

I did 3 types of wipe (System/Cache/Dache Cache) then installed the roms again. It said the Rom installed correctly but still got stuck at the HTC screen. Like i said, i installed the original su.zip again and that doesnt work anymore
Another question, do I have to install su.zip first before installing the leedroid rom?
This is what I do when I flash a Rom
Wipe dalvick cache

Format system

I will try that. Should I.....
1. Flash the SU.zip rom first
2. Flash the CoolHoney3D rom
3. Wipe Dalvik cache
4. Reboot
or skip the su.zip rom

Skip the "su.zip". So just flash the "CoolHoney3D" rom, wipe the dalvik cache, then reboot. You could format all partition before flashing the rom if you haven't already done so. In other words:
- Format partitions
- Flash the rom
- Wipe the dalvik cache
- Reboot

Yes. You should always wipe.
In order.
factory reset,
format cache,
Advanced --> wipe dalvick cache,
Mounts and storage --> format system
Than flash your goodies!

It is always best to wipe everything. Especially when you change Roms. If you are on a cm rom and you are just upgrading to the newest version you can just wipe cache & dalvik cache, flash rom, flash gapps, & reboot. I have done it this way for years & haven't had any problems. Most people prefer to wipe everything though.
TY so much

If you do all the passages you will have more chances to have a full working device
Sent from my Optimus 2X with Paranoid Android. Thanks button is here ↓ !!! Just use it
If it's your first rom, or if you're flashing an entirely new rom, do a full wipe. Otherwise, you can get away with just wiping cache and dalvik.
100% correct

ya iv had it happen to me a few times and to wipe all of them is usually the way to go, you can use titanium backup if you just want to keep your app just if you've upgraded to a new rom like going to jb from ics then do a restore and uncheck all system settings you only want your apps and their data back, if it forces closes just reboot in recovery and wipe the delvik cache and it should fix it up
