People still think it's and don't realize how cache works in Android nowadays. Deleting it will make your phone slower and your battery drain faster for up to a month. It won't fix anything.
Since Android Nougat, apps are no longer pre-optimized when installed. Instead, they are profiled during use, and then optimized when your device is charging.
This allows for better optimizations with less errors. Before the app is completely optimized, it runs with sub-optimal efficiency, meaning it will have lower performance and higher battery drain.
Optimized code is stored in the dalvik cache folder. It can take a long time to completely optimize all your apps. By wiping that folder, you are resetting the whole process. Wiping cache won't fix any issues , because if an error is found in the optimized code, the system will automatically cancel it. It doesn't need your help in doing that, really.

If so, enter your lock screen password to enter recovery mode. On some devices, the touchscreen may work in recovery, allowing you to tap the option you want to select. Since this is an irreversible decision, some devices may ask you to confirm that you want to proceed.
Once you confirm, it should only take a few seconds to wipe that partition clean. When it finishes, use the reboot option in recovery to boot your phone back into the OS. Browse All iPhone Articles Browse All Mac Articles Do I need one?

Really in a nutshell, explicitly wiping the cache itself via CWM actually helps speed it up and ensure no residue from the previous version in place which could get munged in Now at this stage, am realizing your question so in all fairness, have not actually seen Android not performing the invalidating of the cache itself upon boot when flashing a new ROM..
It interacts with the native C code found in the dalvik directory tree which contains specific chipset instructions to interpret the bytecode within the apk to native CPU instruction set. CyanogenMod will have that ARMv6 in their source. Sign up to join this community. The best answers are voted up and rise to the top.
