[Q] [CWM] Does "wipe cache partition" also wipe Dalvik? - Samsung Galaxy Nexus

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.

When clearing Davlik Cache in Clockwork I get a message...

After clicking advanced and the clear davlik cache option a message shows up that something could not be (either) found or mounted.
But I am still able to scroll down and clear the davlik cache and have it say "Davlik Cache Wiped"
Basically my question is do you have to mount a certain part of the phone so that clockwork can fully gain access and wipe the davlik?

The message you're seeing is a complaint that it can't mount sd-ext. If you have no sd-ext, then you have nothing to worry about.
Cool thanks man.

[Solved]Wipe Dalvik Cache

I tried to manually flash ROMs by booting into recovery. But in order to do that I need to do a full wipe. But I am not sure for this particular "Wipe Dalvik Cache" option. I select it and it says E:Can't mount /dev/block/mmcblk1p2 (Invalid arguments)
But after I press Yes - Wipe Dalvik Cache is says Dalvik Cache wiped. Have I actually wipe that dalvik cache? =/
That's an error normally caused if you wiped data and cache then went onto wipe the Dalvik-Cache manually in the advanced menu.
What you are doing is trying to wipe it twice and it gets confused so throws up this error.
As a general rule you shouldn't need to use this advanced method if you have already wiped data and cache.
Not the best answer but I believe to be accurate.
Just use full wipe 1.3, saves loads of hassle for wiping between ROMs.
Depends on how often you update and change ROMs as has been discussed many times. This question was just asking about dalvik cache.

Oh looks like I am wiping too much. haha. thanks guys!

[Q] Clockworkmod Q's

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!!!

[Q] CWM Recovery wipe question

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.

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.

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
