Wiping Dalvik Cache? Should I worry? - G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I am curious what information I lose if I wipe Dalvik cache? Will this disrupt my settings or apps? From what I understand, there is a potential performance gain if you do this? Pros?... Cons?

I think you'll lose all your settings.

You don't loose any settings. All it does is a refresh of the system. I would recommend doing it any time you start having FC's or lag. You do have to reboot after doing it

location problem at Froyo, please help

i cant use wireless network for location any more when i updated to froyo.
for example, i get "waiting for location" "your current location is temporarily unavailable" .
any ideas?
Did you update the radio when you flashed froyo?
I've had this issue on previous roms but not yet on froyo.
When this happens to me and a gps on/off doesnt fix it; I reboot the phone.
I've had that issue, but a wipe fixed it. It was about time for a wipe anyway...

i wiped cache/ dalvik cache, no luck.
wipe data? means i have to reinstall all the apps reset all the setup?
i tried something.
wipe data, no luck
reflash the froyo, no luck
wipe data and reflash Froyo, it works!
restore to previous CM505, it works!
restore to CM505, and flash Froyo, no luck........
what should i do if i want to keep my data and Froyo ?
I'm having the same problem. Came from CM5.0.6, no wipe, just flashed froyo and pretty much everything works (sweet!) except network location provider. GPS is fine. Network location just always times out.
Just like dirwdirw I'd like to keep my app data and settings; anyone figured out anything we can reset to make this work w/o wiping?
Use Titanium Backup. I made a thread in the apps forum asking for what could be moved and not have those issues. I didn't get answers but I did find it for myself and posted there.
My location doesn't work with launcher pro, only with the stock launcher.
Same here... Froyo on N1, and havent found any clue yet.
If someone has it, please share!
same here!
im starting to get really worried, i just read that FRF50's radio its official, and my cel sucks with it...
Just updated to FRF83 using Modaco's <android.modaco.com/content/google-nexus-one-nexusone-modaco-com/311896/24-jun-frf83-stock-rooted-deodex-superboot-repacks> update+root+insecure, still the same!
I really don't get why it's not working!
Yep, same problem here with Froyo. Had it with FRF50 and now with FRF83. I'm unable to have a location without GPS.
I did a complete wipe then flash, but nothing changed.

That solved it for me though. You're talking about a full wipe right? Cause indeed, dalvik wipe doesn't solve this issue.
Yes, a full wipe, a factory reset.
Will do it again... I may be lucky this time.

From the settings menu, or from recovery? From the menu it never worked for me.
I think I'll wait for CM6, wipe, and install it. It's too annoying to manually set the position of the weather widget.

From Recovery.
But I've just finished wiping and flashing again... and it works !
It didn't work when flashing FRF50. But when flashing FRF83 after a wipe, it's ok.
Thank's !

[Q] update cm7 without formating?

Hey guys, how can I update my n1 from 7.0.2.1

Just flash the rom over the top, make a backup first though.

But do not forget to wipe cache and dalvik-cache.

Not a necessary step, at least in my experience.

You normally only need to format between major revisions, it CM6 to CM7 to CM8. To update to 7.0.3, you just flash the file like normal, and if you are using ROM Manager, just don't select the wipe option.
But as others have said, make sure you backup before you flash. Ideally, you should be able to upgrade without a problem, but unfortunately, we don't always live in an ideal world. Better to be safe than sorry. That way if the flash doesn't work out, you can just revert to your backup.

How to clear data to sell

Did you try booting into CWR and wiping the data and cache?

Or easy way go Setting->Privacy->Factory data reset.
Or keep it still and let buyer do everything
How could it be virgin if you've rooted it

How to renew my device?

Hi, it's probably an easy question but might be useful to others and me.
Whenever I flash a new ROM, the phone feels very smooth, light and just as new..
But that feeling lasts barely a week and then you return to your usual daily slowness and laggish..
So I wanna make that but without really flashing a new ROM..
Usually before you flash the ROM, you wipe everything..
So what exactly can I wipe without deleting some important stuffs?
There's sure a thing I could wipe that just delete trash and cache(?) that pretty much do nothing..
Can anyone please explain what every option on the wipe list do and which are okay to be wiped without losing anything useful?
Thanks

Perhaps try wiping dalvik cache, that usually works for me..
"Wipe data/factory reset": deletes all pictures, videos, music and user apps. As if you just took it out of the box. If a custom ROM is installed and you reset, it will keep the ROM installed but delete all the user apps and data.
"Wipe cache partition" wipes the cache, it will not delete any personal or system files and will recreate its self after reboot.

It's very normal thing to get. More apps = more tasks = less RAM = slower device
If you use custom ROM would be better
Tapatalked from my Xperia™Z with Dirty Unicorns ROM!

7.0 to 6.0

Can I downgrade my device(xiao mi3) from 7.0-Lineage OS to CM-13?and without losing any data,can???and how???
You can try but you will have some issues if you keep your data. I think you'll need to wipe. You dont need to wipe the internal, but the data and those stuffs
