Just wanted to wipe cache in recovery and found that there is no such option to do so
Is there a way to wipe cache like we do in other phones?
There is no cache partition on A2, it's inside data, wiping data will wipe cache

When flashing new custom roms..
We wipe...via recovery select factory reset & wipe cache partition..!!
But do we also wipe dalvik cache before flashing together with the above step..??
What about after flash (i always factory reset/wipe cache partition) avoid force close error issues..
Can we select wipe dalvik cache after flash too (never tried just want to know if any harm will come.. will anything go wrong)
* if i did select all three reset/cache partition/dalvik > will it erase/wipe nandroid backup..??? *
For a wipe rom, I always backup, do a factory reset, flash rom, do another factory reset, boot, then wipe cache and dalvik cache. The dakvik cache is a temporary working area and can be wiped anytime, I clear both caches weekly or if I get any hiccups. Nandroid backups are stored on your sd card so dont get touched, but best to copy them to PC, just in case, keep the last 2 or 3

nandroid backup
So dalvik cache can be wiped any time...many thanks..
When i make nandroid backup via recovery mode, will android system only restore "last backup" or does it allow to choose "other backups"..???
(does it store multiple backups ? OR just one backup very last...
Thanks
You can choose which backup to restore. Standard practice is to wipe dalvik and cache BEFORE flashing.

If you're installing a new rom, ALWAYS do da factory reset, wipe dalvik cache and cache partition!
On the other hand, if you only want to install an "update" (new version) of the SAME ROM you already installed (MIUI for example), you don't need to do factory reset, wipe cache and dalvik cache is enough, copy and flash the updated rom and enjoy in the new version with all your data/apps/messages etc. there!

can u tell me what is stored in Dalvik cache?
if you're on stock roms, then going to cm/miui, do this:
go Recovery
-wipe dalvik cache
-wipe cache
-wipe data
-install the rom
-then it will reboot automatically(or after installation, reboot) then it will bootloop
-remove battery and put it back in, then do 3 button combo (recovery mode)
then install the rom again,
-optionally install kernels, etc
-reboot.
or if you're coming from a same rom, but new version, you don't have to wipe, just install the new version of rom.
I would recommend to never format boot, if not done correctly it may brick your phone.

Hi, I'm using nitrogen OS on my Redmi note 3. It got updated to 8.1.0(Oreo) through flashing from 8.0.0(Oreo). While doing so I didn't clear the necessary cache like dalvik, system in TWRP. Is it necessary to clear the cache in TWRP while upgrading in the android version?(Though I'm using same AOSP based nitrogen os for 8.0.0 & 8.1.0)
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:
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.
after wipe and cache clean phone is not open why
