Oh what a nice thing to say, Naifaharsy! I do *really* appreciate that, more than I can say. At 56 years old, one starts to think of a birthday as"just another day". No more great presents like bicycles, toys, cards with money, or things like that, heck, even a birthday cake sometimes does not happen. But this year, I got over 50 Happy Birthdays from

so many people

that I know, love, and just met. And I never thought for a minute that I would hear from so many of them. This really made this one of the *best* birthdays I have had in quite a few years. You guys *really* cheered me up because I was not expecting it. :D

Thank you my new good friend, Naifaharsy! :good:

Mr. Chen my good friend, how nice of you to offer help. I do believe that Daniel (Casper) really is in the Advanced Menu, the wipe dalvik & cache options are no where else in the Safe Strap menu that I know of. But he is on Stock and so are you. You just have different versions of Safe Strap. If Casper never got any errors with installing or updates, I don't think it would be serious. There is another option in the Safe Strap menu. Sorry, I cannot drop into Safe Strap right now, I did the before and missed a very important phone call and am expecting one now.

But I gave these instructions in another post, let me do a quick search. Oh yes, here in Post #6889 is where it is! Go into the Mount option in Safe Strap 3.7.5 and you can plug a USB cord from phone to PC. From there, you can check any partition you like in Safe Strap to mount and Windows will open an Explorer window for it. I did this with sdcard and ext-sdcard to Format them from Windows.

If Daniel can get cache to Mount in USB to PC, then he can wipe it clean in Windows. It would be best to delete everything and DO NOT FORMAT cache or davik because Windows does not format in Linux or Android!

(Open the Windows Explorer Tools/Folder Options menu or Folder Options from Windows Control Panel and uncheck from the "View" Tab, "Hide protected operating system files" (Ignore warning and to it anyway) and check "Show hidden files, then folders, and drives". Then delete anything in cache or dalvik if you can mount and access them.

File Manager in Safe Strap "always" shows /cache and /cache/dalvik-cache as being empty, but if you can get to them with Mount in Safe Strap on an Windows computer, delete everything in the /cache and /cache/dalvik-cache folders. Remember to go back to Windows Folder Options and hide hidden files & hide protected operating system files when finished because there is NO NEED to every see these files and folders at all.

If you cannot wipe the cache, Casper, it will not "hurt anything" or cause problems. A reboot is all I need to get a rom with lag running again like I did for 01/01 and only did it twice. I did go on a 200 mile drive tonight and ran Navigation and streaming audio, Nightly rom 01/01 worked just fine without any wiping. :good:

Cheers mates! :)

UPDATE:

Forget it. Doesn't work.

I am up still at 8:00 AM, got my call, had a *very* happy birthday, and could not sleep until I actually tested this procedure for Casper. Safe Strap *will* mount *only* the sdcard and ext-sdcard to PC with USB. Even though you get check boxes for virtually everything, ONLY the sdcards will mount. The mount screen covers the checkboxes, both cards will mount to Windows, and when you tap "Unmount", no actual unmount occurs, but it will return to the original Mount screen where you can plainly see that ALL checks have been removed but for the two sdcards. Kind of funny that the Unmount button does nothing at all, you still must unmount the drives by going to Computer and right click/eject the sdcard and ext-sdcards or do it from the systray USB icon.

Arrghhh! I already rebooted and am many hours "late for bed" but will reboot to Safe Strap one more time to check the Advanced Wipe utility to check wiping the Stock /cache partition. Notice that Wipe and Install are now colored RED when the Stock Slot is active. Here we go, Advanced Wipe for Dalvik Cache and Cache in Stock Partition in Safe Strap v3.73 (Reading this version in Safe Strap top screen). Hmmm...

Wiping Dalvik Cache Directories...

Cleaned: /data/dalvik-cache...

-- Dalvik Cache Directories Wipe Complete!

Formatting Cache using mke2fs...

Done.

Updating partition details...

That's it man. It appeared to work and what you see are the actual operation details from Safe Strap on stock. To see if there is any evidence of dalvik wiping, I rebooted to stock, and I do see the Android is upgrading... Optimizing app xx out of 104 message. So, Dalvik really did wipe. As to cache, there really seems to be no way to know. Anytime I peek into cache, either in Safe Strap or rom File Mangers, the Cache directory is *always* empty, no matter what.

Like I said, I do not believe that the cache and wiping it is relevant nor important. But it "Makes us feel good" to do it. :o

Stock Jellybean booted just fine. Daniel, I really do not think you have anything to worry about with wiping the cache my friend. Goodnight, Good morning, good whatever, I have to get to bed! :D

Take care my friends, Mr. Chen and Daniel! :cowboy:

NOTE:

Yeah well, still not sleeping. Body and eyes tired, brain takes "like forever" to wind down. :(

There are new NIGHTLIES. 01/01 was the first very promising rom to come out in almost 2 months. So if 01/01 is good, then the roms might very well be "getting good" again. I want to try 01/05. Going for it and will let you all know. ;)
