Sorry if this has been posted or asked already, I tried to look up and couldn't find any.
So where on earth Wipe Cache Partition is on Nokia 7 Plus? I did tried to go into recovery, can wipe data but there is no wipe cache partition. There was an another user who didn't had the option either so I guess 7 Plus don't or is it hiding under something?
Thanks.

OK so every ROM that you want to move to requests (requires) that you wipe before you load the new ROM. That makes sense to me as you want a clean install.
My question is, what am I supposed to wipe (Sorry stupid question). I boot to recovery and I have a wipe menu and I have several options:
Wipe data/factory reset
Wipe Dalvik-cache
Wipe SD:ext partition
I have two more for wiping stats which I will make an educated guess are not required. Should I wipe everything listed above? Just dalvik cache?

Thanks! Also figured out how to clear up a problem with wiping dalvik that I had by partitioning SD card again.
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.

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!
Since the beginning it is the same.
When i want to wipe dalwik cache on cwm, it says sd-ext not found and after that dalvik cache wiped.
I asked it to my friend. He said there might be a problem with your partition table. It can make performance reducing. Search about it...
Is it normal? I never see formatting sd-ext or anything other from sd-ext not found. Maybe i installed million roms...
There is a problem on my phone?

First of all plz search before posting. you guys flood the General section.
I am answering this but any other question would not be answered.
It isn't necessary to do it just we do it to make sure...
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.
