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?

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 :/
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.
I'm using lollipop ROM and sometimes there are problems and I wipe cache partition but what about dalvik ? Because lollipop uses art
"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

Change the title of this to a question, seems like a How-to thread.
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.
