Okay, I will install an update to my custom ROM in recovery, so I wiped cache and dalvik and installed the update. I just want to know if it will affect the battery stat/cache by wiping the cache and dalvik?

No it wont affect at all..
Jm!
Not sure, but I think it does affect the battery and wiping the Dalvik cache because when (sorry for my english) I apply it, my battery goes very fast and with time and use the term returns.

it won't affect a thing
The only way to affect battery stats is by doing a battery calibration, using the app or a recovery that supports it, or by flashing an update which replaces the actual "battery file", which I forgot the name...

Correct me if I'm wrong, here are some things I've been contemplating when flashing new kernels via the awesome app Kernel Manager.
I've found it useful to clear Battery Stats along with Cache and Dalvik Cache; I saw that Kernel Manager allows you to clear both Cache and Dalvik.
What are y'alls opinions on Battery Stats? Does it make sense to clear them out along with Cache and Dalvik when flashing a new kernel or is it just overkill?
Before I flash anything, I always wipe the cache & dalvik and yes, if I flash a kernel, I also wipe the battery stats. I want to make sure I get an accurate gauge of how my battery performs with the kernel I'm using.

Correct me if I am wrong, but I am assuming you wipe when switching from Sense roms to AOSP roms. But just it case, it's a good idea to wipe before each flash.
The thing I don't get is, is factory reset wipe includes battery wipe and cache wipe and dalvek cache wipe, or are they all separate?
Do I have to wipe battery stats?
Does the superwipe do the factory reset + cache + dalvik cache wipe?

Correct, but it usually isn't required to wipe between different versions of the same rom. I don't ever wipe before upgrading to a new CM7 Nightly Rom. I will, form time to time, format the cache partition.

I'm not exactly sure, but when I did a factory reset from the bootloader on my semi-bricked phone, it installed a stock rom(i think) and un-rooted the bootloader(s was turned on). I think the factory reset on CWM and 4ext just format all the partitions of the phone.
Do I have to wipe battery stats?

This is only needed if you are going to a different rom. Charge your phone to 100% but keep it in for an extra half hour, then clear battery stats, then run it all the way down without plugging it in until it auto shuts off.

I'm not sure, you might want to check the superwipe thread.
I'm fairly certain superwipe wipes everything except the SD card.

I have learned the hard way that it is never a good idea to run lithium batteries "all the way" down - that is the fastest battery killer I know.
I have researched this extensively online, and from my own experience, you won't catch my battery below 20%
perfectly accurate battery stats are not worth prematurely killing batteries!!

Not exactly.
I have run every superwipe, superwipe+, superwipe+ext4, etc, etc. that I can get my hands on, and nothing seem to erase my custom splash screen (which is a good thing)
apparently superwipe type programs must leave partition 19 alone!

why not just use 4EXT recovery? - it is better than CWM and it gives you a cool handy set of check boxes for whether you want factory reset, wipe cache, wipe dalvik, wipe EFS, wipe battery stats etc. so you can tick as many of those as like!
Ive since seen both sides of the fence on this one.. but are people still wiping caches ( dalvik etc ) when installing new kernels? Or is that one of those old practices?
Still doing a wipe of cache and dalvik cache when updating kernel. Its the best practice.
I would strongly suggest wiping cache and dalvik before flashing your new kernel, or anything else for that matter. I've been wiping, flashing, wiping again before rebooting, letting the phone sit idle for 10 minutes after first reboot,and then reboot again. Use as you would normally from there. Just how i do it. So far so good.

I agree...I have always wipes the caches when I flashed a new kernel and never had a problem...better safe than sorry

Hello, I have the DN3 Ditto rom which has Note3 features. I have the DN3 v4 RC2 version and now I want to install the V5 version. Do I have to wipe all my data,lose me apps and factory reset my phone?
I cant install it using recovery mode without wipe data and losing my data, settings, apps etc?
Just flash v5 and wipe cache and dalvik cache. Will work perfectly, and you dont lose anything

Why do I have to wipe cache and dalvik cache? I mean, this will affect something?

You just have to - otherwise it will not work if you have new apps and old apps in dalvik... This will not affect anything except dalvik cache will be re-created on 1st reboot/boot and it will take a bit longer to boot.

No. It's just to update all existing binaries/apps with latest prop files. So they can be optimized for current build.
Just did it. Works perfectly.
Thank you all
did it work with any problem?
