If u r rooted then use an app like titanium backup or link2sd or something else... And try to wipe the cache and data of settings app... If that doesn't help then go to recovery and do a cache wipe and dalvik cache wipe (not data wipe in recovery) ..!

STATUS: Not rooted In the Application Manager when you click setting, the clear cache is unclickable. and lastly, If I clear cache in the recovery mode, will it be no harm in my other data? I appreciate your help. Thanks.

I won't cause any problem to your data.... Just do * wipe cache and * wipe dalvik cache ( not wipe data )...!

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:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1602299
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.
Hi.
What is beeing wiped when we apply "Wipe cache" option from recovery menu? So what does "cache" in the recovery menu refers to? Is doing this useful, without firmware update or wipe data-factory reset?
Thanks.

The cache (cache - another useful article; It's basically the same in android) is being wiped . It refers to all those those files created used as cache. It may be useful to free up some memory (usually not too much though).

Thanks. I basically know what the cache is. And I took a look at those articles but I don't think that I need such detailed info about caching. Actually, I wanted to know which cache is being wiped. System cache, disk/memory cache, installed apps' cache etc. ?
up
I think that only files from /cache partition are deleted after wipe

Nope. One of purpose of cache partition is to keep some data when you do update through recovery

I don't know if it'll work for you since you haven't even stated your device . It also seems that you are ahead of yourself at the moment . Read through and learn more before attempting anything or else you may screw up your device.
P.S. - Your question doesn't belong in this thread.

Hey guys,
I have had some issues with my current ROM. I want to change the ROM. I am looking to switch to OMEGA.
How would I do this, I currently have AROMA rom. Should I do a factory reset the just reboot into recovery mode and install that way? Or will just installing the ROM from zip work? Or if I do a factory reset do I need to root it again with Odin, or will I not need to root it?
Also for wiping the phone should I wipe my SD card? Or no?
Thank you I searched and found half answers for most of this.
You have to format /system partition and /data partition in order to get a clean ROM, otherwise you may run into some unforeseeable problems.
Don't have to wipe sdcard
Most ROM except stock are pre-rooted.

Ok just to double check what your saying.
I should do a wipe using the built in android factory reset.
Then just install the ROM using the recovery boot.
I will not have to use ODIN or any other soft ware. Just factory reset and install rom.
AW: [Q] Switching ROM and wiping
I'd factory reset in recovery, wipe cache and dalvik, format system and then flash the new ROM from your external sdcard
Please report if that way worked for you
But be sure to backup your apps with titanium backup

He's talking about wiping in recovery.
Dalvik, is kinda Java virtual machine on android, it does concerns you...

Nobody can tell you which rom is better .. All roms are amazing because of the work put into them try them out one by one.. you're not going to lose anything..
Ok cool. I installed OMEGA and I like that rom. I did a factory reset and wiped the Dalvik cache and cache. Will look around a bit more but so far so good....
however same issue with the phone. But now when the call ends it says process com.android.phone has stopped. Then i hit ok and phone is ok. It doesn't automatically restart then go really slow.
No idea about this, I searched however couldn't find a answer. Lots of phones and versions of android had this issue.
Any ideas would be great guys.

You need to go into mounts and storage in recovery and format system and data before you flash, as already explained

I booted into recovery. Did a factory reset. Wiped Cache and the Dalvik Cache. Then I installed the rom, did I do this wrong?

why not you backup your current rom first then try to flash a new rom without wipe data. if you not facing any issue on the new rom, then it's ok.
if you facing any issue, you must flash again the new rom with wipe all data. if you not happy with both, then you restore back what you are backup before.:fingers-crossed:

Yes I did. I factory reset. wiped cache and dalvik as well as formatting in the advanced options. I currently have Omega 44.2 installed. But I had the iphone app crashing with AROMA 30.1 and 30.4
Is there away to uninstall the phone app and then re install that cleanly?
I did this and still have the phone crashing issue.

There is no white data. only buttons available are force stop and clear data. If I press clear data it says all data will be deleted permanently including all files, settings accounts, databases. I assumed the files were the actual app.
I went to settings. Applciation manager and chose Phone.
......hit clear data then, do that for phone and contacts storage, the data bases get rebuilt the only thing you will have to set up again is which contacts to display and any ringtone options etc you may have chosen
