[Q] How to clear cache after RM apk in Clockwork Recovery

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.

Wipe cache only in ROM Manager

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?

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

[Q] About cache.

Hi all,
Somebody can tell me what are the results or issues when you wipe the different caches.
Because on the tutorials, they speak about "wipe cache", "wipe all", "wipe dalvick" and finally when I upgrade or install a new rom to avoid problem, I wipe data, partition an dalvick to avoid problem.
For a new rom, I can understand you need reinstall you apps.
But it's annoying when you update some rom.
Finally, the question is whose cache can be hold or wipe to avoid lost of installed apps and data when you update a rom.
Thanks for your answers.
Fred.

When people say Wipe cache or wipe dalvik, they mean wipe dalvik-cache. However if you wipe data, since dalvik-cache is in /data anyway, it also wipes dalvik cache.
Its wiping data that deletes apps and this is required as data and settings are more often than not, incompatible between different roms.
Its not a big deal if you backup with titanium backlup though and use the restore option "Missing apps with data"
Use sms backup+ or something to backup messages, then you just need to do your system settings again.

who can explain me how I can see where is my cache? on SD or phone...

For what do you need to know this?

One Action Android 10 How to wipe cache?

I've gone to recovery menu and the option to wipe cache partition isn't there. Any ideas?

There is no such option for our device. Delete cache per app in Android or as a last resort factory reset, just backup before.
Good luck!
