How do I clear cache?

In the Blue Magic ROM thread, it says to clear cache on every boot, how would I go about doing that?

in Amon-Ra's recovery there as an option to wipe your dalvix cache. Hope it helps

Actually, it does this every boot by itself.

But if you want to clear it yourself, you can get a cache clearing app off the market like Cachecleaner (free) and just use that. And you can also do what Protomanez said

regular cache is different than dalvik-cache.
regular cache is stored in /data/data/"app.name.here"
while dalvik-cache is stored in /data/
If you clear the dalvik-cache it will take a while for your phone to boot up because it has to reload the dalvik-cache back to your data directory all over again.

[Q] Wipes and formats

One question, maybe noob ...
When we made flash a new rom from recovery, we made the wipes;
- Wipe cache
- Wipe Dalvik
- Wipe data / factory reset
But
I notice that when you make the wipe all data / factory reset, the system partition is not formatted, it influences the functioning of the new rom?
For sure, I always do the formats in "mount and storage".
- Format cache
- Format data
- Format system
Thank you! Hugs! :silly:

I only
- Wipe Dalvik
- Wipe data / factory reset
I thought when I do wipe data, then I delete the cache.
Sometimes I wipe SD for delete cache & thash of deleted apps.

Ok.
And the system partition?
When you wipe data / factory reset, the system partition is not formatted.
As I know the main files are in the system partition.
Ty for support.:laugh:

When making a factory reset in clockworkmod, shows that it's wiping data, cache, sd-ext and .android_secure. Why we need to do a wipe cache partition after a factory reset?

From what I can remember reading, when a phone boots up it makes some kind of cache of the installed applications.. it allows the phone to boot up in less time after the initial boot (in the initial boot, its making the cache that's why it takes a long time)..
When you wipe dalvik cache, this cache is deleted.. when you wipe the dalvik cache and boot you'll notice that it makes the cache again..

Extremely noob TWRP question

So I just started using TWRP and its awesome and I wanted to a simple cache partition wipe like you know the wipe cache partition on a stock recovery, so I was wondering if I should just select the Cache option in the Wipe menu or both the Cache and the Dalvik Cache?

i always wipe both, cache and dalvik - never hurts.

Thanks.
