Hey there folks,
I am new to android, and am totally into the custom scene. Problem is, I have some questions regarding Clockworkmod, if someone wouldn't mind answering for me.
When installing a new .zip from the SD card, there are numerous steps you have to perform before actually installing the .zip.
For example this ROM to flash you need to "Wipe Dalvik and Cache"
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1372376
In this ROM you need to "Wipe Data/Dalvik and Cache"
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1382022
So I need to clarify a few things.
When it says "Wipe Data" its > Wipe Data/Factory reset
Wipe Dalvik is > Advanced > Wipe Dalvik Cache
Wipe Cache is > Wipe cache partition
If someone could clarify this for me please, then that would be great.
Regards
Schmee
Yes, you are correct.
Cool, thanks you very much Sir!!!

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 all,
I was having some boot loop issues after installing AOKP 3 (maguro) on my galaxy nexus through CWM. Several users asked if I had wiped my "data cache and galvik cache" before installing, which I hadnt.
The options available in CWM are "Wipe data/factory reset" "Wipe cache partition" and through the advanced menu "Wipe Dalvik Cache"
Should I only be wiping the cache partition and dalvik? or should i also be running the data/factory reset wipe? And if I do the data/factory reset wipe, will I loose my AOKP zip on the sd card?
Thanks in advance
you should choose wipe data/factory reset. it will not delete anything on the sdcard partition.

Wipe data/factory reset, you can wipe the cache partition if you want for good measure but I believe the data wipe does that, then go under advanced and wipe dalvik. You can also format system under mounts and storage. If you do all this it will give you a 100% clean slate to flash a new ROM. It will not wipe your SD card if done through CWM.
Just wanted to say thanks for all the help... AOKP4 running perfect now.
CWM

This happens if you hit volume + right after volume - (or the opposite) in the recovery. Try to hit volume + and right after, volume - (or the opposite) when this happens and it will get back to normal.
The main screen in ClockworkMod Recovery has the option "wipe cache partition". The "advanced" menu has "Wipe Dalvik Cache". Are these distinct options that clear separate areas or does "wipe cache partition" also wipe the Dalvik cache?
Sorry if this has been answered elsewhere -- point me to the post.

No. Two separate areas (though it may be possible to put the dalvik on the /cache partition it's at /data/dalvik-cache by default.

IF it is like wiping the Dalvik cache, battery status and all, then the SD card data are not erased.
Just make sure that you clear all the above mentioned(Dalvik cache, battery stat , data/factory reset.)
I'm so thankful i made "wipe data/factory reset" then "wipe cache partition" then "wipe dalvik cache" and then "wipe battery stats", then I installed CM 7.2
Thank you, the partition is still there
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.
