Why isn't wiping cache only an option in ROM Manager? Isn't this recommended when flashing ROM upgrades of the same ROM?
Just do it through the recovery. Rom manager is quite buggy when it comes to that stuff.
I'm flashing a new kernel. When you are in recovery to wipe cache and davlik-cache, do you select wipe cache partition? After that screen it just says "Area you sure" with a bunch of no options. When will i see the davlik-cache option?

So I've removed some apps thru ADB SHELL and I was informed that it's best to clear cache in Recovery as well. The question is, which option do I select? When I'm in Clockwork Recovery I see two options:
Wipe Cache Partition
or
Wipe Dalvik Cache
Which one am I supposed to select?
Well I decided to go with "Wipe Cache Partition" - not sure if that was the right one but from searching the net it seems like that was the right option - if not then i guess y'all will let me know
Even if u delete all of dalvik system will recompile it upon reboot. If I want fresh slate without a wipe I format both cache and dalvik. Doesn't matter they all rebuild.

So, I've rooted and S-off'd now i want to flash a ROM - this one: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1143456
But one of the first things i have to do, is wipe data/factory reset. But i have the recovery-RA-desire-v2.0.0-CM.img recovery image, so when i want to wipe, i get the following options:
- Wipe ALL userdata
- Wipe only /data
- Wipe only /sd-ext
- Wipe only /sdcard/ .android_secure
- Wipe only /cache
- Wipe only Dalvik-cache
- Wipe only battery stats
- Wipe only rotate settings
So when the tutorial tells me to wipe data/factory reset, does it mean "Wipe ALL userdata" or "Wipe only /data"?
I would ask the question in the ROM's thread, but i do not have enough posts to post in the android development area

Wiping everything is the recommended procedure for most roms. Wiping only data, for example, leaves data on the sd-ext partition which might result in problems. Basically wipe all in an option which spares you the time to do manually all the wipes necessary to install a ROM.

If I were you I'd use fastboot to erase boot, system, userdata and cache.. yes the, boot & system files are technically overwritten when you install a new ROM, and everything else is "deleted" (if you choose to delete it from recovery), however it's a more "cleaner" install that way (as in use fastboot to erase boot & system), and most of the time ROMs appear to work better.
You can use several tools with fastboot.. you can use cmd, however commands are specific and it takes a while to learn them (there are a lot of guides, but it takes practise), and there are some software platforms. Personally, I prefer to use fastboot commander as it gives me the most features, it however requires java JDK and android SDK (possible you already have this so check before installing.. if you are going to install it in the first place)
Gotta love the helpful people in this community
Sent from my CM7.1 Desire using XDA Premium App
i would like update the latest version of nightly, and i do not wanna reinstall the apps, so i prepare to flash as follows, but i can not sure it is safe or not,
1.down the latest version and copy it to the SD card
2.reboot, when the led turns blue, press V-,go to Bootmenu
3.select "install zip from sdcard", "choose zip from sdcard", then select the latest version.
some guys said "wipe cache" & "wipe dalvik cache", is that necessary? if i do not, the phone will not work or sth? anyone who can tell me? thx...
ps: i just do not wanna install all apps again and keep my google account as well as the sms and call log. what should i do？
thank you in advance.
do a wipe cache and wipe dalvik cache before and after you install the update . thats about it
As flunk03 said, wipe cache and dalvik before and after flashing the nightly. You will still have the apps installed from the previous version.
Why wipe cache and Dalvik cache before and after instalation?

thank you all
but last time, after wipe, all sms and call logs gone, and some apps also disappeared, several apps were installed in the SD card, so i have to remove them to the phone memory?
you must have selected wipe data/factory reset . so i ll just rewrite my earlier post
1.Use titanium backup to backup ur apps
2. Boot into recovery and make a backup of your existing rom
3. Wipe cache and dalvik cache before and after you flash the update
4. calibrate your battery after you install the update only if the update is stable
When installing the new uppdate ViperX 3.3.0 - can I do a full wipe and install that or do I need the former versions first (3.2-3.2.4)?
I´ve had problems flashing numerous times but finally got it on the phone and then made the 2 other uppdates ota to 3.3.2 but when I´m in the venom tweaks and change the max cpu to 1300 and changes back to 1500 after a while and sometimes after reboots.
I checked the ticker "aply settings on boot". Sometimes the min cpu freq also changes by itselfes to 1300....
The "mount system r/w" ticker also never stays checked....
I´ve had problems flashing, it only worked when I didn´t do a full whipe on the 3.3.0 version.
Sometimes the flash crashed after 10-15% and sometimes when the flash was ok and finished I ended up on the white htc logo.
I did this:
1: Move the zip file to htc in my download folder.
2. using winrar, get the boot.img file - moved that to my Boot_Flash_Script folder.
3. Go to Bootloader
4. Connect htc one x to the pc - fastboot usb
5. In the Boot_Flash_Script folder - dubbelclick on the flash-boot-windows file.
The boot.img flashes ok and also the cache is cleared.
6. unplugg the htc and go into recovery.
7. Using Aroma Installer I wipe cache, wipe dalwik cache and (maybe this is wrong) wipe System.
8. Then I click Install - find the zip file and excecute that.
9. Choose the stock kernel.
10. Full wipe.
11. flashes.
Then it sometimes crashed at 10-15% or flashes ok and when i hit "Reboot" it hangs itself on the white htc logo.....
This also happened when I tried to flash Icecoldjelly…
What am I doing wrong?
Noooob-thanks,
Nothing really, but download the latest full rom and check the MD5 number, flash the boot.img again and do a full wipe in recovery....
Wipe cache partition
Wipe data/factory reset
Advanced - wipe dalvik cache
Mounts & storage - format cache, data, system
Just to be sure and then install the Rom.zip. choose in the aroma for a full wipe again and continue....the question about the kernel you answered correct with NO.
the mhz option probably doesn't stick because there is only a stock kernel available, we don't have custom kernels yet ....
When wipeing and factory reset, does it erase anything on my sd-card?
It shouldn, right, since its on sdcard0...?
Even with a factory reset it shouldn't erase nothing?
Nope
Great.
Thanks!
So after flashing the boot.img, go into recovery and basicly wipe everything except external storage?!
Under "Mount" there are 4 tickers : Mount System, Mount Data, Unmount Cache, Unmount SD Card.
Unmount Cache & Unmount SD Card are checked....
What to do there?
And then just flash the Rom, Full wipe in Aroma, chose stock kernel and that should do it?!
I will quote myself ! Do NOT touch the mount stuff only touch the FORMAT stuff
And ofcourse you do NOT format sdcard !!!

Flashed the boot.img.
Wiped everything and did a factory reset then flashed the Rom and it worked.
Think the factory reset did the trick - the only thing I didn´t do before.
Thanks!!!!!!!!
Finally !!!
with my H815 i can't boot into recovery (stock) to wipe the device cache. is there any way to this without twrp installed?
EDIT: so i cleared the cache under settings/storage. is there any way to clear dalvik cache without custom recovery? i'm guessing not
Download lucky patcher apk, Grant root permission go to toolbox there's an option to clear DALVIK CACHE
Dalvik Cache can be cleared with Titanium Backup... Settings Storage cleans the apps cache but not the system cache. System cache can be cleaned by power off the phone. With phone off, press the power and down buttons at the same time and a menu will come up.
flashfire Add >> wipe >> choose whatever you want to wipe
