Hello,
How can i see, where is my cache, dalvik cache?
When my Cache is on Sd, how can i move it back to Phone??
Thanks for Help
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.
What do these caches hold as in data? Cache Partition Dalvik Cache.
using google might be useful sometimes
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cache_(computing)
it basically stores data that is frequently used and shall be used
these data are pre-processed at times and are routines
cache partition is pretty fast

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..
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.
