I am trying to download this app from the market: http://www.appbrain.com/app/extreme-formula/com.GOGN.EFAndroid
And it just cancels by itself when I start downloading it. Any ideas?
The app is quite big 50MB but I have more than 1GB free on my app partition.
I am running Serendipity 6.2 ROM.
Anyone? :/
Reboot into recovery and wipe your cache.
Which Cache? Dalvik?
Both caches is what I usually do just to be sure. Wipe cache on the main recovery screen, then go to advanced and wipe the dalvik as well.
I did them both still made no difference. :[ App works on my other android device.

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.
I get "Insufficient space" errors when I try to download or upgrade apps around 20 MB. This is on Gingervolt 2.0. Any ideas?

Try clearing the Dalvik cache in recovery or you can clear cache and data for the market by going to Settings>Applications>Manage Apps>Market
As an aside, every time I clear cache in recovery, I have to set up my account again. Is that normal?

Not for wiping the cache partition. That should only happen if you wipe data.

I have been having this problem too, wiping the caches doesn't seem to help me so far. If I delete out a few files from the cache with ES I can download and update the apps. But I need to do that every time.
*sigh* ok stupid me. Wiping cache / dalvik cache from recovery didn't help me either since they both filled right back up when i rebooted the phone.
So then I tried wiping them manually from ConnectBot, but I did a rm -rf /cache/. Although this did allow me to download the apps without the insufficient memory error, this seemed to crash the package installer, and I tried to reboot. Now my phone boot loops ...
Yeah, so is there any way to fix it from here? How can I get back to recovery from a boot loop? And how would I repair the cache cand dalvik-cache partitions? Any ideas?

Pull the battery
Use volume down and power and hold both until you see the "wipe data" screen.
Confirm with power button
Confirm with power again
*this doesnt actually wipe anything*
Now you will boot into recovery, from there, either restore a backup (hopefully you made one recently) or reflash gingervolt without wiping anything.

Any ideas on the space issue?
I finally backed up, wiped data and reinstalled gingervolt 2.0. So far this seems to have fixed my issue.
You probably removed the cache directory, which made android fail to use it when booting.
Usually the dalvik-cache, which gets recreated on every reboot, is stored in there.
If your device is rooted you should have a look at "SD Maid", which will help you free some space. (link in my signature).
What's the difference between doing a Factory Data Reset and doing a wipe using CWM.
I'recently rooted my Note and now have CWM installed.
I plan on trying a few different ROMs (both newer stock ROMs and eventually custom ROMs) and read in most instances to per a wipe before upgrading.
I was wondering which wipe to use.
Also, if I install Titanium Backup, will it save everything including Contacts, Network settings, icon layouts, webpage favorites, appa and everything else?
Thanks

Cant say surely about the difference between factory rest of data and CWM wipe. But can surely say to flash any rom you need to CWM wipe all the data and cache and dalvik cache from the recovery.
And Titanium Backup is for backing up and restoring all your apps and their associated data and market links. It doesn't backup contact (should auto backup to your google account or use any contact and sms backing app from market like - https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.idea.backup.smscontacts&feature=search_result) or
layouts . Icon layouts you can save by going to the backup settings of the launcher you are using and favorites you can again backup on your sd card.
Hit thanks if it helped
CWM recovery wipe cache, is just wiping cache files not data
while CWM recovery wipe data n Hard reset from setting - privacy - erase data(factory reset) is same
CWM function is useful when you unable to boot device normally.
Where is dalvik cache located ? Because if it's in the data or cache partition, then I don't see why I have to wipe dalvik cache after wiping data/cache...

System apps' dalvik-cache in /cache
Data apps' dalvik-cache in /data
Hence just by clearing the cache you clean the /cache space of system apps and not the dalvik cache of data apps.
So you require to do both - clean cache and clean dalvik cache.

Factory Reset will change your Android ID. Some apps with custom DRM may stop working. Factory Reset is also incompatible with some ROMs and causes some apps/files installed by CWM flashable ROMs to disappear.
I think both are same. Both format data and cache partition.
(that is why devs warned not to perform FDR on affected kernels)
With FDR you initialise the command from booted phone.
CWM Wipe is what you do from recovery mode.

thanks for this explanation!
Have been using JB ROM from Elitemovil for two months now and noticed that the phone is now slower than before.
Can I just delete the Cache and Dalvik cache from CWM recovery and count that all things and programs will work fine after I restart the phone?
And - BTW, can both cache's be deleted anytime without any future problems with installed programs or any other setting?
Will these cachees be automatically rebuild during boot process?

Dalvik cache is associate with the booting of the phone... deleting it will generally not affect the performance of the phone and nor will it cause any problems with the installed apps and settings...
Deleting cache may improve the performance of the apps whose cache will be cleared.. Don't think that it'll make any major difference though..
Dalvik cache is rebuilt when you power on your phone after clearing dalvik cache.. the other cache is built as you use your applications.
that and a factory reset speed up my phone

What the hell is wrong with you?! Every time I open a topic in this section you advise people to wipe their phones. That's not what "help" means. Looks like you're a little post farmer...

hello there!
i'm a new little fellah in the rom flashing world, so i'm a little afraid before doing anything, so here's the situation :
i have a galaxy mini, rooted, and cwm is perfectly installed.
i want to install this rom : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2085347
In the description it's written to wipe data AND cache after every action.
I just have personally 2 thing to install : the rom and the gapps, that's all (no patch).
So i have to wipe cache and data before flashing the rom of course, and so my question is : do i have to wipe data AND cache after installing the rom? and then install the gapps, and then wipe again?
So should i do :
1) wipe data and cache
2) install from zip the rom
3) wipe data and cache
4) install from zip the gapps
5) wipe data and cache
6) reboot
Is that good? or am i doing a mistake anywhere?
thank you for your help !
normally this works
wipe data ,cache and dalvik cache
format system ( if going from stock to cm7 or vice versa)
install rom
install gapps
wipe data , cache
reboot

you can also wipe battery states but it's only optional, you dont have to but no harm in doing so.
