Recently my D800 has been acting up with random freezing then rebooting, to horrible battery life. I am so close to resorting to a factory reset but decided maybe wiping the cache and dalvik may fix the issue. My question is, with being stock rooted with TWRP installed, is it safe to just boot into TWRP, wipe cache/Dalvik, then reboot? Or is it only necessary when flashing new ROMS/kernels etc.?
Thank you!

Just wiped cache/dalvik cache. I shall post an update once I get a full day's use out of it to see if the freezes stop and battery life increases. If not, looks like i'll be factory resetting. thanks again!

A quick backup, wipe, reflash, restore apps worked for me...just saying.
battery is at 50% now, after 12 hours of moderate use. Whereas before it would be beyond dead.
Wonder what could have caused this? I've flashed RC2-4 with the same battery drain problem (no wipe). Any insight?
Just have to make sure you wipe cache and dalvik before upgrading to new cm. Its the proper way to upgrade as far as the kernel goes. That should be your steps as far as flashing any kernels. Battery life on stable version seems a lot better to me. I can go well over 24 hours of use with good usuage.

ah, yes. :facepalm: forgot to include that
wipe dalvik, cache, and battery stats.
I'm using cyanogens kernel. With all my profiles set to the ondemand governor. You'll see a big difference in battery life. Pershoots kernel is amazing as well. I've used both. I get great battery life with either.

Backup from Within Rom Manager or in the Recovery?
There's 1 thing that confuses me. In recovery, it has the Wipe data/factory reset, wipe cache partition and in the advanced menu, it has the wipe davlik cache. Do i wipe the data AND cache partition with the davlik cache? Just keep seeing people mention 2 wipes, but there's option of 3 from recovery to choose from.

If your upgrading to a new version of CM OR flashing a new kernel you ONLY wipe cache (NOT DATA/CACHE aka Factory Wipe) and you wipe Dalvik cache under advanced menu.

Thanks for clarifying that for me.
I have a weird issue with my N9005 (hlte). I just got it new and am still a little inexperienced with flashing it. Preblem occurs when flashing ANY CM12 based rom. Flashing works well with TWRP 2.8.5.0 but once Android booted just after enetring my PIN the display turns off and I can't do anything and have to hard reboot my phone. CM11 runs without any issues
I'd relly like to go for CM12 so any help will be appreciated.

I performed a full wipe before flashing. Any advantages wiping again, once flashed?

If you read installation instructions from temasek it says clear dalvik and cache. For good measure. No full wipe after flash. Only cache and dalvik
If i full wipe my phone after flashing ... i got no System at all ...
It looks like -> this <-

Haha I did correct myself and told you to not full wipe after flash. Only do that before flashing. Wipe dalvik cache and cache after flashing.
Do a clean install and try again. Full system, data wipe and caches in recovery. Use twrp doing that. Then flash and wipe cache and dalvik. Reboot. Use the latest build 8.7

try to flash a stock rom using odin
My phone was building up too much cache so I decided to go on TWRP and do a wipe of cache and dalvik cache, but after that it started to lag *a lot*. After booting the phone takes a lot of time to load the launcher, Google feed works after 5 minutes of the boot, everything lags, it doesn't detect the Sim card unless I pull it out and in again. What did I do wrong? I what cache is and why does it exist but I didn't think this would do so much harm.
Should I reflash the ROM or something like that? Don't know what to do.
I thought after a few boots it would build up enough cache again to work properly but it has been a week already and every boot is the same, it takes at least 10 or 15 minutes to work properly

Are you sure you haven't wiped any other partition?
Are you on stock ROM?
Anything installed to cache like the loopback bug fix for magisk?
Usually the wipe of cache and dalvik causes no problems, the first boot will take longer but after that everything should turn back to normal again.
If the problems persist a factory reset or if that doesn't help a reflash of the ROM may solve the issues.

I decided to flash the ROM again, I am on the Pixel Experience rom, didn't have any fix or anything like that, but after reflashing it has been working better, guess I'll wipe dalvik only when flashing something like a Magisk module.

I haven't wiped dalvik/cache for over a year now while flashing magisk, different modules and other stuff. I personally think wiping cache and dalvik is overrated on newer devices.

I'll surely not do it again because it ruins the launcher an awful lot.
I wiped cache and dalvik, it still happens. What should I do?
