Wiping just the cache and dalvik cache should work fine.

Wipe data, cache, and dalvic cache from recovery. Then flash new rom from recovery. Done.

Wipe wipe wipe

Just want to make sure what it means of a full wipe. Does it mean wiping data,cache and dalvik ? And does this erase the applications ? Specially if your updating from a older rom ver. To a new one. Sorry for my noobness and thanks for the info in advance.

Full mean everything cache, dalvik cache, data, and even system this will delete all your personal apps. Do this when going to different roms (cm7 to miui, or froyo to gb) when updating the same rom its not really necessary, but you can wipe cache and dalvik cache (wipe these two when flashing kernels) just to be safe, dalvik and cache wiping will not delete your personal apps.

Follow fcisco13's advice. If you wipe data/factory reset from clockworkmod it will wipe data, cache, and dalvik cache all at the same time. So just do that and then format /system and you'll minimize issues.
As said above, if you're only updating to a newer version of the same rom, or to a new kernel, then just wipe cache and dalvik cache.

Also a good idea after flashing something new or updating before restarting always (fix permissions)
This will prevent most fc's...

Hmmm ... during the initial setup of Android are you selecting to let Google backup/restore your apps and settings? If so then your phone will automatically download and restore apps and setting that were backed up to Google's servers from your previous installation.

Dalvik cache after flashing stock

I flashed the stock AT&R ROM with Odin.
After setting back up and reinstalling apps I got an error during a market install saying there was not sufficient space for install.
I researched and found that some people have gotten this and remapped the cache to the SD card and it may be an issue with the Dalvik cache needing to be cleared.
After the flash of stock I did not restore phone to defaults via the stock recovery menu (vol up/vol dn/pwr). So I have now done that and am in the process of reinstalling again but it got me thinking...
If the only way to clear the Dalvik cache is to use CWM, then how to you maintain Stock (to get AT&T updates) because you need CWM to clear cache after flashing?
Or am I just severely confused??

To answer your question. Flash cwm in odin, clear dalvic cache. Then flash stock recovery. Done!!

Boot to recovery and wipe cache and dalvik. Reboot and you should be good.
If you start getting issues, consider reflashing will all the wipes.
