Just rooted my SGS3. Was wondering if I wiped the dalvik cache, would I face any problems?

At opposite, sometimes it can be resolutive (e.g. after flash a custom kernel, to try to solve an unknown problem), but at bootup you've to wait until DK is regenerated for all the applications and system components.

Make only wipe data/ factory (it's include the wipe dalvik cache) and cache.

It's possible to get bootloop when changing rom's, but I have successfully upgrade form CM 7.1 to 7.2 without wipe.
Hello, I just rooted, and then tried to flash the latest nightly onto my P500H from Koodo.
Now whenever I boot, it's just stuck in the spinning arrow. At first it resets the boot but after 1 or 2 tries the arrow will just get stuck.
I can get into clockworkmod recovery, but there is error message saying: Bad boot message "recovery".
Now, first time I did this I didn't wipe cache partition, but then I did wipe it but same thing happens.
Any ideas?
Did you wipe Data?

When you change ROM or kernel, you have to wipe, at least, cache and dalvik cache.
Since I wipe data most of the times, I don't know if Gingerbread 2.3.7 can handle data from 2.3.3, so I would recommend you to try first wiping the 2 caches I mentioned then, if unsuccessful, wipe data.
BTW, this 'bad boot' message on recovery is the same to everyone. I'm no technician on the subject, but you can simply ignore it.
No I only wiped cache partition.
should I also do wipe data/factory reset?

First you try wiping only cache and dalvik cache. Then, if you're still stuck, you try wiping data.

Hi,
I was using stock firmware up until yesterday I flashed to v5.2 successfully. Everything is working fine. But I just have a question, I remember that after the flash, and the phone rebooted and I connected to my wifi...the phone automatically started to download and install all the 4 apps that i had personnally installed on the stock firmware all by itself ..
I'm asking because I see that there a v6.0 available and would like to flash that. But before I flash, do I need to do the following wipes?
Wipe data/factory reset
Wipe Cache
Wipe Dalvik Cache
If so, do I need to do this for between EVERY Omega flashes to ensure it goes smoothly? Thanks

You should only have to wipe cache and dalvik then flash the ROM. You'll be fine, I also always format cache and system in the mount and storage part of Cwm recovery BEFORE flashing the ROM, never had an issue.

Is that considered a FULL wipe?

No, full wipe is when you delete all user data as well.

Ok I found the definitions of what a full wipe and no wipe is:
Full Wipe Install means:
- Wipe Data / Factory Reset
- Wipe Cache and Dalvik Cache
- Format System partition
- Install
No Wipe Install means:
- Wipe Cache and Dalvik Cache
- Install
Just a question, in the FULL WIPE listed above, where would I find "Format System Partition?" I don't recall seeing that..which category do I enter to do it?
CWM recovery mounts and storage format system .

Thanks, is there any harm if I do a full wipe EverytimeI upgrade an Omega ROM? I just want to stick to one way of things to minimize any issues.
I use AOKP ROM 4.2.2, and I have some unexplaied slowdowns...
I can try to solve the problems with a wipe cache and wipe dalvik without without doing damage ? Thanks

You can try a cache and dalvik cache wipe without loosing anything or doing any harm... but if you just started having these slow downs, I would bet it is an app you recently installed that is running in the background or misbehaving someway
