Thanks for the help....
Just got a new Thunderbolt. Rooted. When I wipe Dalvik cache I get a line that says E: invalid directory or file. Is there something I need to do to my internal storage or sdcard first before downloading a new rom, wiping data cache dalvik and then flashing? Recovery doesn't seem to be wiping dalvik cache. Any help is apreciated. Thanks.

Did you delete the cache partition first? I believe the dalvik cache is often stored there, so if you wipe the partition first, you'll get an error if you attempt to wipe the cache afterwards. Either way, if it isn't there, it shouldn't cause a problem with a new ROM.
I found a file named cache, it had 2 files. One was called download.apk, the other was Recovery.txt. The Recovery.txt file was just a log of my last flash. The download.apk would not open. It was 1kb. In the data dir. there is a David cache file. It has all the data from the user apps. I deleted the cache file but still got the error, then deleted both, and still the same. After reboot, both files were there with the same info. Should I re-root, format sdcard with a ext-3 partition then update to a GB Rom? Thanks

It always says that, for me at least. You have to do two clicks in Recovery for it to work, if you know what I mean. After I click "Clear Dalvik Cache" the first time, I get that "error" and a list of more options, one being Wipe Dalvik Cache, and the other 13 being the same. I click Wipe Dalvik Cache, and the feed at the bottom says Dalvik Cache cleared.
That is when.it looks for a EXT partition. If one was not create it will say that.
It is typically used for Apps2SD and by having them on the SD there would be a dalvik directory.

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.
Hello,
Just wana does it affect the performance to wipe cache and dalvik cache? I have a friend who wipes cache and dalvik everyday to make his system clean and speed up.
Thanks for your time.
No it does not matter if you wipe dalvik .
Its stupid wiping it everyday its only going to rebuild itself .
Performance gain yes for about 30 seconds .

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.
