It's possible you will wait until the cache for system apps is regenerated but otherwise you should be fine.

I have a similar question, if the system gets sluggish, I also noticed sometimes it just hangs when rebooting, in TWRP is it good to Wipe Dalvik periodically?
Is there also any Cache cleaning to do in the Mi A1?

I dont think you need to clean cache. I use this phone for a half year and it was always smooth as new device and Im heavy user.

Well I'm stress testing the crap out of the phone with ROMS, and some of the times, I noticed a lot of sluggish running, but it could of also been bugs I was seeing too. I was just trying to eliminate various possibilities, so Dalvik was one I was considering...

Updating to CM 6.0.2.1

I noticed in the Thread for CM6 that someone said after the update, they lost more memory.
I received an update notification from Clockwork advising that there was an update to 6.0.2.1
Now being a newb to all of this... do I just run the update? or will I need to do a full recovery, wipe cache, wipe dalvik?
(by the way, sorry if this has been asked... how do you wipe Dalvik cache, and what is Dalvik cache?) once again... sorry if i r dumb!
Will I have less space? Will I have to reinstall all of my apps again? What are the pros and cons of updating to 6.0.2.1?
Im currently running 6.0.0 without any issues other than the GPS taking a long time to locate.
You can just update from Rom Manager if you want. Just make sure that you have about 60-70 MB of free space before you upgrade, you will have stability issues and a low space warning if you have less. The update seems to run fine, but if you don't have the space and CM6 is running fine for you, I would say that you aren't missing a whole lot, just stay where you are.
If you end up installing, just wipe the cache and dalvik cache (in clockwork: advanced>wipe dalvik cache). After that you can just run the update and you shouldn't lose anything. I believe in the new update the dalvik cache is moved to the memory (or something like that lol), so if you're running severly low on memory, you should probably stick with what you have. If you have it, however, this new version is supposedly more stable, and might fix you gps problem.

Cache Clearing with Every Reboot?!

Well, you know when you clear your cache and Dalvik cache and it takes a while for all your icons to come up? Well, I noticed that it has been doing this every time I reboot my phone now. Where before it would only do it when I would boot into recovery and cleared those caches. Any reason for this?!
Thanks in advance...
PS - My setup is as listed in my sig below.

Any time I've ever had lag like that when the phone was booting up, was if either it was immediately syncing things when it boots up, or if i hadn't wiped dalvik and cache in a while. Usually wiping the cache's would solve the issue. Also do a battery pull. If that doesn't help, maybe change the kernel. How does the phone run otherwise, once it's all booted up? Maybe you just have a ton of apps that are all starting up when the phone is booting up, I'm not sure.

Tablet keeps force closing

Acer Iconia A500 keeps force closing when booted (the home screen wont even load , its just black with that force close pop up) and when i try to factory data reset it gets some error saying something about gameloaf.com or something when i try to reset data from CWM. I was currently running Thor latest from for A500 what I must do to solve this issue ?
Wipe system, apps, cache, dalvik-cache, and then flash a stock rooted ROM using CWM.

Yep, that'll do it.
But, considering they may install the same rom again, they may get by with just Cache and Dalvik, while saving user data.
At least I'd go that route first, and if it doesn't fix it, then nuke it all.

[Q] Is that ICS Bug or Kernal Bug?

well i tested some roms like slim ics, dark night, aokp and gamerz. But i seen one similar issue which i was facing and it irritates me alot . The problem is when i installing some apps the phone becomes slow. Even when i press the menu button it will open slowly and touch sensitvity becomes lag. Is everybody facing this issue please let me know
Have you tried to wipe cache, dalvik cache and data?
Do you restore your apps from Titanium Backup? That could be the problem if you made the backup when you were on Gingerbread.

Every time i will do wipe/factory settings, wipe cache, dalvik cache and data. Rom runs extra ordinary at the first time after using some days, the phones becomes slow when i touch on menu button it will opens very slow and i checked the ram the phone is using only 200mb rest 140mb is free.
I didn't restore any apps from titanium. For every new rom i will install new apps from Google Play.

Update Just Pushed

Turned on my A500 just now and the Android Is Updating popup flashed... then the counting of updated processes... all the version numbers seem to be the same... anyone else get this or have an idea what they updated?
If it's any consolation, it isn't an update. I have no idea what the issue is. But my tablet does the same thing every so often. It's as if I cleared my cache or something...
...odd
The only time I've seen that was on a reboot after a major update. Oh well, no worries.
That occurs when the Dalvik Cache has been cleared. Before ICS you would just see the boot animation the whole time that was happening, in ICS they decided to show you the process. Don't know why your Dalvik is clearing when you power down though.

Perhaps the OP should format /cache and wipe the dalvik-cache using recovery? Perhaps the permissions are messed up or the partition has gone awry.
Some odd things happened yesterday- All media on the storage card acted like the card was first plugged in. Everything had to index all over again. Then other little things that pretty much confirms some cache was cleared somehow. No idea... I'm probably going to back things up and do a hard reset.
