Hi guys,
I have searched the forum, but there does not seem to be too much mention of Amon Ra. Is the latest version of Amon Ra compatible with the Tbolt? I keep getting an error with CWR when trying to delete the dalvik cache. Thanks a lot!!!
Did you happen to notice the [Q] in front of your thread name? Ok ok, i kid. AmanRa is a negative atm.

I love Amon Ra too unfortunately though he does not have the Bolt and atm does not plan on making a recovery for it.
Yes CWR has issues with wiping dalvik. I manually wipe dalvik using root explorer. Just navigate to /data/dalvik-cache then hit multi-select, select all, delete then reboot your device. The first reboot after deleting dalvik will be quite long.

Dalvik wipes have been working fine for me ... Try this
1. In Rom Manager go to Menu>Settings>Check "Erase Recovery"
2. Menu> "Clear Download Cache" then Flash Recovery again.
3. ???
4. Profit

Then navigate to the folder I mentioned via root explorer and tell me if the dalvik folder is empty?

I do not have a problem with cwr wiping my dalvik cache or anything else for that matter. At first yes but when I applied pretty much this method it corrected any problems I was having.
I believe what feedhead was telling patton21 was if he was having a problem with cwr that is the method on how to fix cwr.
As far as knowing if dalvik is being cleared out is pretty easy actually. if you might have noticed when in cwr it will usually take about 10 secs to get from wipe dalvik cache to the confirm option. if you wipe a second time it will go instantly.
Also if you clear out your dalvik cache in cwr and go to root explorer one would have to boot up the phone and as you know the reason for the long boot time is the dalvik cache building so of course it won't be empty.
... or you could wipe dalvik & check using adb

Of course it won't be empty. You have to reboot into recovery and wipe it after you reflash cwm.

I don't believe Ive seen this mentioned anywhere yet, so I figured Id remind those who know, and inform the newbies who don't know.
Ive heard people who have applied various lag fixes complain that their phone slows down over time when opening apps. This "fix" i am about to mention is really easy and can help anyone not just those who have problems with an applied lag fix.
If you open Rom Manager and use Fix Permissions, wait for it to finish, then select Reboot to Recovery, and wipe Cache, and then go to Advanced Settings, and wipe dalvik cache, then reboot normally, your phone will hang at the Galaxy S bootscreen for a few minutes, it might take a while because it is rebuilding the dalvik cache, you should notice things running smoothly again and apps opening quicker.
Hope this helps anyone out there!
Does wiping those 2 cache's screw up installed apps? Where you have to download them all again?

No, wiping the caches shouldn't affect your installed apps.
And all the same, if you still worry about it, just run a nandroid backup before you wipe the caches, then if you run into any issues, just restore, or advanced-restore only your data partition.
cheers,

So not a big deal cause I have replaced my update.zip with the clock work reboot update.zip and can reach clockwork still by "reinstalling packages" but I tried this fix and now can't reboot into recovery straight to clockwork through rom manager cause it says something to the effect of
E: can't reboot cause file /cache/update.zip missing
(bad)
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Not exact but obviously there was a vital cached update.zip that was used in order to reboot directly into clockwork through rom manager.... Any idea on a fix? Think it would be unwise to just reflash clockwork through rom manager again to recache the file? Would anything else be effected like possibly overwriting my past nand recoveries? Thanks guys/gals for any help on this one.

Bump for the safety of reflashing clockwork to replace cache file?

yes, your missing the update.zip that unzipps itself to run clockwork. So yes flash the update.zip again through rom manager.
I just creates the update.zip file so it will not do any harm.
Awesome I assumed just as much but wanted confirmation first, thank you much

Thank you! Am trying this now and will post any impressions after.
EDIT: Immediately after re-booting, it definitely seems smoother and snappier - thanks again for this. I was wondering if I should do something like this, but didn't know what, because I'd flashed Eugene's Vibrant6 and a lag fix and then restored to my pre-flash nandroid. I thought the phone's performance was suffering after all that, and I definitely found this tip helpful, so really appreciated!
Hello guys i would like to ask what is a dalvik cache because i want to install this ROM For My Samsung Galaxy Y
Code:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1602299
If you want to know what it is you can search Google or Wikipedia:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dalvik_(software)
As far as installing ROMs go its recommended to clear the davlik cache each time you install a new ROM. On most android phones this is done from within Clockworkmod.

Boot into CWM recovery, it should be under the "wipe". Look for "wipe dalvik-cache" option
Or under the tab: Advanced
Dalvik-cahce
Ive always somewhat wandered what the dalvik cache was never really bothered to look into it. but now i have its nice to know that when i wiped the cache each time i flashed a new ROM it was for good reason. Thanks

It does not mention the cache
Am i wrong to assume it's a bitcode of everything dalvik ever run/saw installed?

Search for what the cache is, read the Dalvik then link them together.
I am attempting to install CONROM, yet the instuctions start with "wipe". I am in Amon Ra, and there are a ton of options for wipe. Just want to make sure before I select "Wipe ALL" Thanks!
Typically you want to wipe /data and cache, and dalvik cache.

There are a few options for "wipe" - if you're not sure what to wipe, you can use a tool called Cleanwipe.
If you are familiar with partitions, /system, /boot and /data can be wiped before flashing a ROM. Make sure you have a backup before you do this.
/cache and dalvik cache are a part of /data partition so wiping them makes no difference if you have already wiped /data.
Some may suggest that you wipe 3X or more but it has never made any difference in my experience.

I usually just select the first option in AmonRa
Then I select Wipe data,
Wipe cache,
Wipe Dalvik-cache
And wipe system.. I only select those if I'm installing a fresh/whole new Rom.

Hi guys,
I have a question regarding installing ZIP files from CWM.
When I am wanting to instal numerous ZIP files do I need to wipe Dalvik cache and reboot my phone in between each one?
This has been my standard procedure but it is very annoying, especially when I have 5 to install in a row!
So can I just install each one straight after the other, then simply wipe dalvik cache and reboot?
Thank you

Yes.
Actually, this is the normal standard
Hey guys,
I have had some issues with my current ROM. I want to change the ROM. I am looking to switch to OMEGA.
How would I do this, I currently have AROMA rom. Should I do a factory reset the just reboot into recovery mode and install that way? Or will just installing the ROM from zip work? Or if I do a factory reset do I need to root it again with Odin, or will I not need to root it?
Also for wiping the phone should I wipe my SD card? Or no?
Thank you I searched and found half answers for most of this.
You have to format /system partition and /data partition in order to get a clean ROM, otherwise you may run into some unforeseeable problems.
Don't have to wipe sdcard
Most ROM except stock are pre-rooted.

Ok just to double check what your saying.
I should do a wipe using the built in android factory reset.
Then just install the ROM using the recovery boot.
I will not have to use ODIN or any other soft ware. Just factory reset and install rom.
AW: [Q] Switching ROM and wiping
I'd factory reset in recovery, wipe cache and dalvik, format system and then flash the new ROM from your external sdcard
Please report if that way worked for you
But be sure to backup your apps with titanium backup

Nobody can tell you which rom is better .. All roms are amazing because of the work put into them try them out one by one.. you're not going to lose anything..
Ok cool. I installed OMEGA and I like that rom. I did a factory reset and wiped the Dalvik cache and cache. Will look around a bit more but so far so good....
however same issue with the phone. But now when the call ends it says process com.android.phone has stopped. Then i hit ok and phone is ok. It doesn't automatically restart then go really slow.
No idea about this, I searched however couldn't find a answer. Lots of phones and versions of android had this issue.
Any ideas would be great guys.

why not you backup your current rom first then try to flash a new rom without wipe data. if you not facing any issue on the new rom, then it's ok.
if you facing any issue, you must flash again the new rom with wipe all data. if you not happy with both, then you restore back what you are backup before.:fingers-crossed:

Yes I did. I factory reset. wiped cache and dalvik as well as formatting in the advanced options. I currently have Omega 44.2 installed. But I had the iphone app crashing with AROMA 30.1 and 30.4
Is there away to uninstall the phone app and then re install that cleanly?
I did this and still have the phone crashing issue.

There is no white data. only buttons available are force stop and clear data. If I press clear data it says all data will be deleted permanently including all files, settings accounts, databases. I assumed the files were the actual app.
I went to settings. Applciation manager and chose Phone.
......hit clear data then, do that for phone and contacts storage, the data bases get rebuilt the only thing you will have to set up again is which contacts to display and any ringtone options etc you may have chosen
