quick question, im new to rooting the transforner and i just want to know, when i wipe to install prime will it erase my music that is on the internal storage? If so, is there a different way to wipe to keep certain files? Cause i also have my titanium backup files on internal as well, thanks in advance.
First of all, your title made me laugh for a good 1 minute. Somehow, "question about wiping" just doesn't sound very technical and sound more like it has something to do with our bodily functions.
No, "wiping" cache and data will not touch your files. Android is different than windows. Windows OS has 1 big partition where everything is in there. Android has 12 partitions, each one has it's own purpose. When you wipe the data partition, what you're really wiping is app data partition. There is also a user data partition where all your files are kept. Unless you do a format of your sdcard in the advance menu, all your user files are safe.
So, before you install a custom rom, make sure you wipe cache and data/factory reset. Also wipe dalvik cache. Trust me, all your porn files will still be there waiting for you.
Sorry, I have a weird sense of humor.
Lol, thanks buddy. Ive never had an android device with an internal sdcard so i was a little concerned. Thanks again.

I was wondering, is a data/factory wipe always necessary? When I flashed Revolver 3.9.3 for the 1ste time from stock rom, I did a data/factory wipe, cache wipe and dalvik cache wipe in CWM. When updating this Revolver rom to 3.9.5 using zip-file, I only wipe cache and dalvik cache. On my Moto I wipe cache and dalvik cache before and after the zip update when updating a custom rom, but I'm not sure if the latter is necessary. I guess a data/factory wipe is only necessary when flashing a new base rom?
wiping is usually recommended as sometimes if you install with out wiping it will cause weird problems :/
[Q] "Wipe cache partition" in recovery mode seems useless? What is it for exactly??
Hi. I'm using Samsung Galaxy Ace, Android 2.3.6, rooted.
I had 2 apps with cache data:
1. the system app "Internet" = 444KB
2. a user app called "RedLaser" (for reading QR codes) = 45KB
I turned off phone, went into recovery, then "wipe cache partition", then reboot.
It did nothing! The two apps still had cache, and I just deleted them manually in Settings -> Manage Applications.
So what does the "wipe cache partition" do anyway?
Also, if a phone is unrooted, is there a way to clean the dalvik cache?
Thanks all!
Its for wiping the cache of your phone application..some times if you not do this then you r apps will crash in the new rom..so its optional thing.but some times it needed...understood??
shyamjptpm, did you even read the details of my post? The cache of those two apps were not deleted through "wipe cache partition" in recovery mode. So I was wondering what it does, exactly, since it DOES NOT wipe the apps' cache.
The cache is an app cache, but not a cache of application data. You wipe that through application management (or manually with a file explorer or shell).
Think of it as an Android cache that it uses for apps and components.
Hey Archer, an app cache? Like the dalvik cache? The dalvik is for starting apps faster, correct? So is "Dalvik cache" same as the cache referred to in "wipe cache partition"?

No it's not apps - I explained that badly. It's regularly accessed data and app components, but not app-specific data. The Dalvik cache is the application cache - they are two different things.
Additionally depending on which recovery you are using, wiping the cache might not properly work all the time, that is why you read so many posts saying wipe +3; meaning to run the wipe cache (and dalvik) at least 3 times. I know I had issues with one specific recovery and switched to another because of it...

what is dalvic wipe? where to wipe battery status ????
There is no noticeable memory degredation, even if you flash over 9000 times.
You don't need to wipe the battery stats.
The dalvik-cache are cache files that are needed to run apps, and it gets recreated on boot if you wipe it (so the purpose of wiping it, is to get a freshly generated dalvik cache).

"Wipe dalvik cache" is a legacy title (kind of).. It will wipe your current virtual machine cache.. You can check it by wiping and rebooting (if android optimizes apps on next boot, dalvik/ART cache was wiped)

There may be some boost after 2nd boot because of cleaning cache of uninstalled apps and caches that got bigger and bigger over time

Hello. I have honor 4c. When I had android 5 (rooted) there wasnt any problem. After updating to marshmallow and rerooting I have problem with storage. When I wipe dalvik cache and reboot phone, recreated dalvik cache have 800MB. After few days I have internal storage totally full(100%). I dont understand. Everything is OK, dalvik cache takes the same storage but during one night I have full storage.... When I wake up there is notification that the storage is full. I dont understand why the size of dalvik cache is changing. Can anyone help me? I dont want to delete that regularly as it takes more time to load all apps.
