In Rom manager when you go to install a .zip/rom from the sd card it offers you "Pre Rom Installation" options.
1. Backup Current Rom
2. Wipe Data and Cache?
My question is does this also wipe the dalvik cache? OR do I need to go into Clockwork and manually wipe the dalvik cache prior to a new rom installation.
I'd prefer someone who knows the answer to this question vs. speculation.
thank you so much!
I know this is somewhat speculative but I am 99% sure on this. I believe that it does wipe the dalvik-cache. The dalvik-cache is in the data partition, so if you wipe data you've wiped dalvik-cache. You can always clear the dalvik manually in recovery if you're unsure.
edit: Did a quick search, I am 100% sure of this now.

Hi! How I make a full wipe on my desire hd?
Whit this step I do this?
wipe data/factory reset
wipe cache partition
advanced
wipe dalvik cache
wipe battery stats
install rom
You need Full Wipe 1.3 available from the developer section.
Drop the zip file to your sd card, reboot to recovery and run the zip from there.
Yeah I use it but when I flash the rom and reboot I have the same "desktop", sms, program used before full wipe... why?
Check in your Setting, about phone, software infromation.
The kernel and software number should be different.
Yeah is different, I've a revolution HD 3.3 installed

Full wipe means:
data/factory reset
cache wipe
dalvik cache wipe
wipe system in mounts and storage
wipe cache in mounts and storage
Wiping system is very important as a flash is usually an update to a different and improved system version! ( for instance from KKA to LA4).
When getting into a bootloop pull the battery, reinsert battery and go in recovery mode and wipe data/factory reset and cache and reboot, done

Why would you format or "Wipe" the Cache partition 3 times? Just curious...
i got a bootloop after installing google apps. I've already installed cyanogen but after installing the Google Apps, cynaogenmod does startup and its a black screen.
Can you please help?

this is no support thread. please use forum search. bootloop problem is known and easy to solve.
Updating aokp for example, the aokp updater told me about the update but is it the same process as installing for the first time? Will I lose my apps and everything or does it only wipe cache? What step in roms delete everything, format data or factory reset or both?
Cheers.
No wipe needed if updating.I recommend wiping cache and dalvik-cache for good measure tho. And you have to reinstall gapps after the rom as well.
When a wipe is needed you want to select factory reset. Never select wipe/format data as it'll wipe the internal storage too.
Then what about...
If you are already on AOKP and doing an update:
1. Make a nandroid (backup in CWM)
2. Format /system
3. Wipe cache
4. Wipe dalvik
5. Install new ROM zip
6. Install gapps
If you end up with issue or coming from another ROM, do this:
1. Wipe data/factory reset
2. Format /system
3. Wipe cache
4. Wipe dalvik
5. Install new ROM zip
6. Install gapps

Isn't a Format/system wiping the apps? Or does that not affect the apps? By format on my recovery it says formatting the sd card deletes everything (on TWRP).
Cheers.
Hello all,
can you help me with installation this ROM?? Because, i don´t know, how precisely install this rom. I have first time flash kernel, which has in zip? Then go the CWM and
- wipe data/factory reset
- wipe cache partition
- mounts and storage - Format Cach/Data/System
- advanced - wipe dalvik cache
and then install rom, gapps?? It´s all?
Thank you very much.
Martin.

Please READ the installation instructions on the first post.
And no point telling anyone you don't know how to do it, Google is right in front of you.
To answer your question:
- flash the kernel
- boot into CWM
- flash the ROM.zip
- wipe data
Mount and format = wipe
You just repeated the wiping process for data and dalvik
In my experience it is not compulsory to wipe cache and dalvik when installing new ROM.

popthosegaskets: Thank you and i´m sorry.
Last Q. As you write, the last point wipe data = wipe data/factory reset, wipe cache partition and mounts and storage - Format Cach/Data/System?? Sorry for my ignorance.

Hi,
I'm using CMW 6.x and already wipe data/factory reset, wipe cache partition and wipe dalvik cache, but application folder's was not delete.
For example: I use app Pocket Cast to download and listen to podcasts. When I wipe all data by CMW, this folder was not deleted.
So, how can I wipe all data on my android? Wipe all data like a get smartphone for the first time.
Thanks for help and sorry by my english.

You need to format sd card in mounts and storage, but make sure you have a rom installed on the phone as formatting the sd card will delete all zip files too.
