[Q] whats a full wipe? - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

what exactly consists of a full wipe? i learned originally to wipe data/factory reset and cache but alot of roms have special ways to install their roms like also wiping dalvik cache and stuff. so what exactly consists a full wipe?

A full wipe would be clearing dalvik cache, cache partition & data/factory reset.

Wiping the dalvik cache will do nothing to your phone. It's completely useless to wipe dalvik cache. My advice would be that you don't even try the things you are talking about.

Just reboot into recovery (custom kernel not stock recovery) and use the Wipe data/factory reset option. You can also do extra wipes like described above if yo wish but in most cases just the wipe data/factory reset will suffice.

Wiping Dalvik cache on ART

Is there a way to wipe the Dalvik cache after switching to ART? I went to go wipe it in TWRP but it just redrew all the apps like it did when I first switched over to the new runtime.

Wipe Cache Partition

Hello
is it true that after a new system update you should wipe the cache partition?
Thanks

It is not necessary to wipe cache partition and dalvik cache but I recommend you to wipe those cause The updated system is not totally optimized and the consequences will be some freezing and lag when you open apps. So The best choice would be wiping cache and data partition. And let the phone like new. A backup is necessary when you wipe data.
