Same here bro... every morning when I wake up like a bad habit...
Not a bad idea with any android device...
also a simple clear cache from the storage menu...
and a full dalvik wipe with SystemTuner on the weekends... (the stock dalvik wipe from recovery doesn't do a full wipe)
Keeps everything running in tip top shape

So since I'm not rooted, my option is probably limited to wiping dalvik through recovery only?

I believe that is correct.
Your not limited. if you use the recovery option button with your device you can boot into your device recovery menu and wipe your cache. Dalvik I think as well. And I restart my device atleast once a day as well. Sometimes 2 times if I feel like it

Already established right here in this thread... you can wipe cache from the settings menu without having to boot into recovery... and you ARE limited because the dalvik wipe in recovery doesn't do a complete wipe.
You can see that it doesn't do a full wipe because you don't see the typical "upgrading apps" sequence on reboot after the wipe.
and where is this "recovery option button" you speak of? That wouldn't be available on a non-rooted device
Oops when I said recovery button I mean recovery menu. You do the volume button sequence to access your phones recovery menu so you can wipe your cache that way

And yeah your right. However I have noticed that not all phones do the app upgrade boot screen after wiping dalvik cache.

Then it's not a full wipe on that device... I'm not knocking it... still better than nothing... but i prefer a full wipe by a trusted app and not the partial that is given by the OEM on their device.
I reboot once in a while as well. No biggie since the load time on this baby is the fastest I've seen. I use clean master to wipe caches. Also quick reboot to reboot the phone (always skeptical of over-using the power button since my OG Droid got worn out once a long time ago).

Okay I recently rooted my TB and flashed bamf 3.0 RV4.9 ran perfect with no issues.... I later tried to change and font and after rebooting it would not load past the splash screen so I went unto hboot and reflashed bamf ROM. It than rebooted and loaded up as normal. However now it will not connect to Skype or WiFi. When trying to connect to WiFi it'll say "obtianing up address" and sit there for a minute that disconnect is this a radio issue or US it bc i didn't wipe all the data when I reflashed bamf? Tundra for the help in advanced
Your word correction is not serving you well LOL.
Anyway I would say do a full wipe of data, cache, and dalvik cache in Clockworkmod Recovery and then try to reflash the ROM. For future reference even if you are doing something small like changing fonts ALWAYS make a nandroid backup in Clockworkmod recovery FIRST. Then if you have a similar issue to this one you can do a full wipe and restore your backup without losing anything.

In Clockworkmod recovery, using the volume rocker to move up and down and tapping the power button to select, choose wipe data/factory reset and then select yes. Let it do it's thing and it will come back to the main recovery screen. Now choose wipe cache partition then select yes. Now go down to advanced and select that. In the advanced menu choose wipe dalvik cache and then select yes. After it is done you will still be in the advanced menu so scroll down to go back and select it. Now flash your ROM.
This is how you should always wipe before flashing a new ROM or update unless the ROMs thread specifically says not to. (which probably won't happen.) This only applies to ROMs, and NOT to themes, kernels, or mods.

I am not trying to be a smarta$$, but your post says that you are clicking reboot recovery. What about just reboot? Could also wipe /cache and then advanced/wipe dalvik-cache, then reboot.
If you have adb then you can reboot that way too.

reboot just locks up at splash screen and clearing the cache and dalvik wont delete files correct? also the cache we talk about is the wipe cache partition?
Wiping /cache and /dalvik won't delete any data so no worries about that. Wipe them both and then reboot. It will take up to 3-5minutes to rebuild the caches.
I kind of need to know what ROM you are/were on to figure out where to go. Once you answer that and try the above, and it doesn't work I have another idea to try.

trying to reboot now but it looks like it isnt going to work. but i also read somewhere else
Only the factory recovery wipes the /data/media ("/sdcard") partition. Any third-party community-built recovery (like ClockworkMod Recovery or TeamWin Recovery Project) will wipe everything except /data/media.
So, to answer your question, as long as the files are on your phone's pretend SD card (the default for user-created content and files you transfer to your phone), they won't be wiped when installing a custom ROM.
is this true? also again could care less about the phone just need the new baby pics and vids
You are correct. The only ways to erase your internal SD card is by formatting it, masterclear in Odin, or formatting /data (not wiping but formatting -they are different functions).
Did the wipe and reboot work?

no still stuck on splash screen and vibrates maybe every minute. also updating rom not an option because not sure what rom. and clockwork wipe(even though you said will work) not an option just in case it did wipe pics. it looks like im out of options.
Download DroidExplorer and install on your PC
Reboot into Recovery. Open up Droid Explorer and see if it finds the phone. If so just browse to where you need and copy them.
I've seen a post about this one in the EVO area, but not here amongst us SGS3 owners:
When I reboot my phone, it always goes through an "Android is updating, application xxx of 3xx" counting up - and takes two or three minutes every reboot.
Is this normal under ICS?
Hmm, I'd say this is Not normal. One of the big "selling points" of the gs3 and ICS is the quick boot time. For me it is very quick. Maybe u should try doing a factory reset and see if it stops this behavior??

If you're rebooting your phone after you wipe your dalvik cache, than that is normal. Reason being is that it stores applications for optimization so that the OS can run more smoothly. When you wipe your dalvik, it clears them out, and then when you reboot, it rebuilds the cache for all applications. Just do a normal reboot without wiping anything and see if it still does it.
That is not normal if it is happening on every boot, only if you wipe your dalvik cache then yes it will update.

Yep, just a simple reboot or even a fault / reboot does the same thing. I'm not wiping the Dalvik cache or anything. Happens every time I boot my phone, and I've noticed over the past few days that I never seem to go into 4G/LTE mode any more. Curious - I guess I've laid the hammer on it a bit too much.

I read on another forum that a TitaniumBackup odex file may cause this on certain phones. Try uninstalling the apk and then re-install it.

Sure sounds like it. I'm using the "Route66" rooted ROM with the Invisiblek overclocking kernel in place of the recovery.
Most likely the overclock. i ran the stock rooted 66 with no issue. I also have titanium backup installed without that issue.

Hi guys. I'm having an issue. Every time I reboot my phone, instead of playing the Verizon 4G LTE logo and sound. I get a message saying Android system updating and goes into the lock screen. Everything works fine but that message is annoying me. Is there any way I can get everything to reboot like it suppose to. Mods: Rooted by Exynos exploit, Multi-window mode(http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2028535), System UI mod(http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2030539)(its the basic one found in attached files). I have titanium backup, busy box, and ES file explorer as my root friendly apps and bloatware removed. Please help.
Basically every time you reboot your phone its wiping /cache for some reason. Check to see if it's an app or boot into recovery and wipe cache there, then reboot your phone again.

when you wipe cache all the apps have to populate the cache(hince android is upgrading). you most likely have a app set to wipe cache on each boot which will cause this.

I tried CM a while back (WAY back, actually - pre-ICS) for the i717. It wasn't bad but after a while I went back to stock because for me it just 'felt' better. Hard to explain it other than that. In any case, I've been on full stock ever since and was happy with it.
Then Official JB comes out from the carrier and my phone is laggy as all hell and it's gotten to the point of royally pissing me off to the point that I'm considering my options.
My question is this: Do we know the cause of the lag? If so, is it fixable via custom kernel or something similar, or do I need to go to a whole separate ROM to get away from the problem (and are there any in particular that are recommended if that is the case)?

I don't recall, but if I had to venture a guess I'd say probably not. I followed the above thread to the 'slow 4.1.2' and disabled everything I could on that list and did a restart, not sure which one did the trick but now it's nice and speedy.Hoping it stays this quick and isn't just a factor of not a lot built up in memory yet. I'll try a factory reset if it bogs down again.
there could also be some existing apps that continue to run in the background.
you might either go into app manager and force close them and clear their cache individually
OR
maybe reboot phone every day or two. clearing any cache build up. kind of a preventative maintinence thing.
if you ventured new ROM, may I suggest Padawawn.
every phone is a bit different, but I have had the best results ever
4.2.2 ROMs perform better IMO. Good luck

i prefer stock as well and was also experiencing lag until i found the right setup for myphone. started out by debloating. then flashed phasekernel_jb.3 and use setcpu or whatever tuner app you prefer and set governor = fantasy/scheduler = sio/min = 384/max = 1728. all phones are different so you may need to try different settings to find what works for yours. i have not had any lag since.
Here is what worked for me. I had the same issue as you and posted it a while back. This also greatly increased my battery life. I suggest that if you are rooted go ahead and wipe the device - in fact do it twice! You will have to reinstall of you your apps but it got rid of all the lag and almost doubled my battery life.

It can be done by pressing at the same time Volume up and Power buttons until the display lights up, which is when you have to release Power button, while at the same time you should keep pressing the Volume Up button.
