What will happen if I boot into recovery and wipe just the system cache without doing a full format of the phone?
I'm looking at trying to sort out some lagging probs I been having the past week. Already cleared all the application caches but still getting noticeable slow downs.

Apps cache will be wipe that's all. Wipe dalviks as well if you want to try removing the lags.

As said by parent, it only formats the cache, so the first boot will be somewhat longer while regenerating it

I would wipe cache wipe dalvik and fix permissions as a matter of course .
Preference when sorting battery drain/lag etc is from a base rom without multiple apps added .

dalvik cache is a program cache area for the program dalvik. Dalvik is a java based virtual machine that is the bases for running your programs (the ones that have the .apk extension). In order to make access times faster (because there's not JIT (just in time) compiler installed by default), the dalvik-cache is the result of dalvik doing a optimization of the running program. Sounds confusing. It's similar to the prefetch files in Windows. -Andrizoid
And just FYI, you wipe the dalvik cache by booting into Clockworkmod and going to the advanced menu.

Not unless you choose to wipe Data. You can, and maybe should, clear Cache and Dalvik Cache though. This won't affect your apps/data etc.
don't need wipe,direct install is ok
Hello all. I just recently got my s2 and have been flashing several Rome. BTW thanks to all the devs and their hard work. Anyways, some of the roms state to do a full wipe. I have been going into recovery and doing wipe cache and data. Is this what is meant by full wipe? Thanks in advance.

FULL WIPE means you use the wipe data/factory reset.
Wipe cache is seperate BUT INCLUDED when you perform a full wipe. . I think it is just your temporary cache and can be used to help clear out issues on occasions. It wipes the temporary data for the apps but not the dalvich cache of the apps. (I may be slightly off here with that one).
Wipe dalvich cache is seperate and wipes the applications data. It wipes just temporary data that apps are using. This is normally used when you are flashing updates to the rom your on, flashing modems, flashing kernels, etc.
SO when you perform a FULL WIPE it will delete out ALL THE USER APPS AND DATA ASSOCIATED WITH THEM. This is why you backup your USER APPS and their associated data with titanium backup. Once the FULL WIPE is done all user apps are gone and ONLY apps that are included in the rom under system/apps will still be there. All the apps in data/apps are wiped gone. A FULL WIPE does not delete your sdcard so you will not lose your music, pictures, etc.

OK thanks for the insight guys. So is it possible to perform a full wipe from within cwm? Or is it something different entirely?

You wipe from cwm. Wipe data/factory reset and wipe cache partition are on the main cwm screen, wipe dalvik cache is in the advanced menu. Wiping all three of those is considered a full wipe.

You can also do a factory reset from the dial pad: *#*#7780#*#*
I think it's the same as wipe data/factory reset from recovery, but I don't know of any verification of that.
Incidentally, wipe data/factory reset belongs to stock 3e recovery, as well as CWM recovery.

According to the a2sdgui app, a dalvik rebuild erases the contents of the dalvik cache, forcing file rebuild when the phone restarts.

You can boot to recovery and wipe dalvik cache.That way it will be rebuilt on next boot. It may also take longer than usuall.
