Hello,
(Im a noob, sorry if this is a rhetorical question)
What is the difference between Dalvik Cache and Normal Cache?
Hi,
Today I successfully rooted my galaxy Tab 2 7 P3100. What I am not sure is when and why we need the
Wipe Data/Factory Reset
Wipe Cache Partition
Wipe Dalvik Cache
I want to understand because I plan to try couple of other ROMs. Should I follow the above procedure every time I flash a ROM or is there a better way where avoiding any of the above is an option.
Regards.
to minimize the conflict that would occur if you use a different rom base
try it without wiping, usually meet force close dialog after booting
all i know is that wiping cache will clear data related to applications, so if you have an app force closing all the time it is sometimes handy to wipe that app's cache from the settings or wiping the entire cache from recovery.
wiping data/factory reset however will remove any app you have installed and all your personal files that you've put on the device.
Basic breakdown,
If going from one base ROM to another base ROM like stock to CM, CM to AOKP, stock to AOKP or anything like that you will need to do ALL 3 wipes.
If going from like a CM10 nightly to a newer nightly you can usually just wipe CACHE and Dalvick
If you flash addons you will usually need to wipe cache and Dalvick
BASICALLY just do what the INSTRUCTIONS for the ROM your flashing SAYS to do.
Wiping Dalvik cache before and after flasing of ROM

First of all a BIG THANK YOU.
Now One more doubt there is this ROM which I want to flash and it says to wipe dalvik cache before and after flasing the ROM. Please confirm only Factory reset will clear the existing ROM and wiping Cache and Dalvik cache wont affect the existing ROM(or internal SD Data)
Thanks again.

OK well flashing any ROM will replace your current ROM, NONE of your files (music, pictures or things like that) are touched by ANY of these wipes, Factory reset wipes out installed apps, wiping cache and dalvik after flashing or hell wipe data/factory reset won't touch the apps "built-in" to the ROM.
remember the ROM is your operating system and your files (music, pictures, and other stuff) are in the internal SD which is a separate partition from the ROOT system folder where the OS files are.
Wipe Data/Factory Reset - wipes all APPS and Google account information and resets all devices settings to default
as for the other 2 read through the answer here http://android.stackexchange.com/questions/25859/why-do-i-need-to-wipe-dalvik-cache it explains what the other wipes are about.
Hope that covers it, basically jumping from one ROM to another the most you can lose is your basic settings and your APPS (which can be redownloaded, if you didn't use an app to back them up first, but you would lose any progress in your games if you don't back them up).
After update to lollipop & Root & enabling CWM I installed the xposedv5.zip.
Now my Moto G tells me that there is not much space left. Titanium Backup shows only 20,5 MB left on System-Rom.
Is there anything I could do to get more free space on system rom without loosing functionality?
Reboot into CWM and wipe dalvik/cache.
Doesnt work.
The Message does not appear when I do not install the xposed.zip.
The Space on a Moto G1 after the Lollipop Update+Root is 27MB left on System-Rom.
PS.
I think Dalvik is not used under Lollipop and the cache is not stored on the system-rom

If you do not wipe Dalvik / Cache in recovery after flashing the xposed zip - you get this error.
Hey everyone I got a moto g xt1032 since kitkat and on kitkat it was possible to relocate the dalvik cache to cache/ instead of data/ (i think not sure) but it was not possible when cm12 came out because lollipop has an higher dalvik cache size but now im on marshmallow 6.0.1 cm13 and now the dalvik cache is less than 600mb wich is what you need to relocate the dalvik cache folder...can anyone tell me how could I relocate the dalvik cache folder so we can get more storage space on marshmallow? I did it like the kitkat version but I think im doing it wrong I wipe my phone 3 times trying to make it work...can someone help me please?
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.
