is choosing option "wipe cache partition" enough? or must I find dalvik cache somewhere? (it isn't obvious, that's for sure)
Which recovery do you use?

yeah, just normal recovery. preparing for ota jelly bean update for razr. it has no option that says "clear dalvik cache", it only has "clear cache partition" or something similiar
Install Safestrap
Download and Install Safestrap. then access your recovery again and you will see te wipe option, click on it and there's a Davilk/Cache option.
You can do dalvic cache from bootmenu manager
Bootmenu manager for me is the best recovery.
But in any recovery which is not the standart, you have to look in "clean something" or "more". It's always like this.

In the main menu of cwm recovery
There is an option named 'advanced'
Click it. :good:
Then you will see "Wipe Dalvik Cache"

I know what happens when you do a factory reset/wipe, but what exactly happens if I only wipe Dalvik Cache? (I'm about to flash a ROM, don't want to do a complete factory reset/wipe, but wondering if I can still help "eliminate ghosts" by wiping Dalvik Cache.)
Bump, is this just like a crazy question or something?

dalvik is a virtual machine in android operating system that runs applications, which is similar java vm. dalvik builds some sort of cache of applications (i wouldn't go into details) to run them faster in dalvik cache space. you can clear them out, and android will rebuild the cache on the next boot. and the initial boot will take longer than usual once you wiped the dalvik cache because android needs to rebuild it.
So it's something that you can safely wipe on occasion right, just to clear up any bugs?

when you flash a custom rom, usually the rom automatically wipes out dalvik cache to remove all that junk from the previous rom.. you do not need to wipe it regularly unless you flash apps or any other system modifications on top of the existing rom via clockworkmod recovery very often
But is there any "harm" in doing it? Any consequences other than a longer reboot time?

Not at all. Apps will just be a little sluggish for a bit.

Using Kies to goto 2.2, does that wipes Dalvik cache? Koz I went to 2.2 from kies mini, then ODIN'd a Voodoo kernel and i never wiped it manually...
so should I?
many thanks
You are trying to not factory reset but any rom you will find will have a system, data, data_data and cache wipe built into it. You can try finding a Rom you like and remove the wipes from the update_script but those wipes are put there on purpose. Kies will wipe everything too.
or use root explorer go in to system and find dalvik cache and delete files =>
sir can i ask a question?

Yes it is normal for it to take longer than a normal bootup. It is rebuilding the Dalvik that was just wiped. #nosorcery

Thank you for this question, thank you guys now I know that wiping dalvik cache is not that bad at all.
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:

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, I followed jacobmacek's instructions twice:
HOW TO INSTALL
1.Wipe Cache+Dalvik
2.Flash ROM, then flash THIS
3.Reboot and Launch Play Store to setup your account
4.Wipe Cache+Dalvik Again And You're Done!
All I get when I reboot is the screen where you see colored pieces spinning and floating . I let it sit for 5 minutes and no boot so I pulled the battery. Did I wait long enough? Am I doing something wrong?.
Santods instructions went a few steps further but I havent tried his method on this rom:
~Suggested Install Procedure~
** PLEASE READ **
____________
Use 4ext Recovery
(not really required, but highly recommended!)
Select Wipe/Format Menu Option
Wipe cache and dalvik
In the same Wipe/Format Menu: Wipe all partitions except SD
Now back in 4ext main menu: Select Tools
Select Format ext3 option
Format Cache
Format Data
Format System
Now go back to the main menu and select the rom .zip to install
Thanks for your help
You need to wipe system as well. Sounds Like your only wiping dalvik and cache. It's the first option in the wipe menu in the recovery I belive.

OK, i'LL TRY IT THAT WAY, actually Ill use Santod's install method to be safe. I hope he updates his OP so other's aren't misled. (unintentionally, of course)
Alls good now, I followed Santod's instructions on how to install. I am going to assume that is the best way for a fresh install.

Open "Mobile Manager" app then go to "Clean Up" section after it scanning your apps you should be offered the option to clean up your apps cache.
If you want to do it on a per app basis, simply go to settings/Apps & notifications/App info
Click on the app you want to clear cache, then go to "Storage & memory" you should see the option to clear cache.
