if i WIPE DALVIK, BATTERY AND CACHE it delete my games or prosses in the games i have?
ty for helpers
NO they will not be deleted. Wiping dalvik, cache or battery stats doesn't effect you applications.
what it means flash/boot ?
i had seen on some rom posted that before installing wipe/ boot !!
what does wipe/ boot means, i had wiped all cache, battert, dalvik..

Wiping only dalvik, cache and boot stats won't delete any app or app data from the phone....Wiping Data is the one which does that
Wiping of data is needed to uninstall any installed apps before doing a fresh/clean install of a new ROM
Otherwise it's most probable that the new ROM gets installed wrongly (except cm7 nightlies)
So before flashing new ROM do-
Data wipe,Dalvik, cache, battery stats wipe

Im sorry if this is such a nooby question but on some custom roms it recommends to wipe /system. What does this do? And what do you lose? When I usually go to another rom I wipe user data, cache, dalvik cache and battery stats. I never had any problems by doing so. In my case I never saw where to wipe /system I found out it was under mounts and storage in recovery a few days ago.

This is wrong....
The /system partiton is where Android itself gets stored. As in the system apps and framework. It is recommened to wipe it when changing to a *non-wipe* firmware just in case some files are different and get left over from the previous rom.

Thanks, that makes sense.
not wiping before installing a new rom usually results to bootloops.
i see to it i wipe before installing another rom (unless i'm installing a newer version of the existing rom)

As was posted earlier in the thread, wiping system basically wipes the rom/os and system settings. Your user data, apps, pictures will not be wiped. If you rebooted after wiping system the phone will not work, however you could wipe system then flash an update of the same rom and reboot and you should be fine(depending on the changes between rom versions). This is basically referred to as dirty flashing. FYI, most custom roms have a script which wipes system, cache and dalvik/art cache automatically preserving only /data(user apps and data)
Hi,
Everybody recommend some utility for dalvik cache cleaning like Titanium etc..
But what happens if I delete dalvik cache folder thru root explorer ?

Clean Dalvik cache is as simple as booting into CWM recovery advanced wipe dalvik

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.
I've had a ZTE Blade for a year and whenever I flashed a new rom, i'd boot into clockwork and wipe dalvik, battery stats in the advanced tab.
then i'd go to mounts and storage and wipe /system, /data, /cache and /boot followed by data/factory reset and cache in the main menu to make sure the system was completely minty fresh before i flashed.
just looking at clockworkmod for the S2 and i was wondering if there's a similarly recommended set of wipes ?
as far as i can see, it appears to be Wipe Data and Factory Reset, Wipe Cache and install - is that really it or would it help to do the /system, /data and /cache in the mounts and storage menu as well ?
thanks in advance
Wipe /system, /data /cache and dalvik cache. That should be enough (what I've been doing since april )

Thanks. I've just flashed the resurrection remix rom and only wiped dalvik, data/factory and cache and everything seems to have installed fine and is running ok so far - probably because i came from the stock ICS rom i suppose.
i'll remember that in the future though, thanks

In advanced there is fix permissions too. You can use it if it gets buggy.

Formatting system is a good habit

Hi, this is my 1st post but have been flashing almost daily for around 4 months. Ok so here's my uber anal method
Wipe data/reset. (x3)
Wipe cache
Wipe dalvik cache/battery stats
Format cache/system/data
Flash rom
(if dual booting flash kernel cleaning script then flash compatible kernel)
Reboot/set phone up Google accounts etc/Reboot. Then wait at least 5 mins for rom to settle. Enjoy!
This imo is a full wipe which I use regardless of whatever rom I'm flashing. I know some installs you can get away without full wipes but for peace of mind I use this method. It can be a pain setting up a fresh install but with using TB & launcher restores it can be done in less than 20 minutes. Good luck

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.
