It's half an hour later now - it should have finished updating, but it is possible that it could take a little longer.

 

This isn't going to happen. Hope you've got a Nandroid. If yes, just restore, if no reflash your ROM.

 

NO, wiping cache and dalvik is in fact the correct thing to do when flashing new ROMs and in addition you should always wipe data and system partitions otherwise you run the risk to corrupt the new installation- the cache wipes do not touch the system partition which is where the ROM is installed.

 

I think he meant that where he went wrong was not wiping cache mate and thats what he did to fix it :beer:

 

Off topic but when using ART, does wiping Dalvik do anything?

 

Pretty sure it will wipe the optimized apps and you will have to endure the update when you reboot

 

Wont be doing that unless i really have to then lol no matter what i flash though, even if its just a camera zip it goes through the whole thing anyway even when i havent wiped dalvik :banghead:

 

I think it won't as you have to choose between dalvik or ART (android runt time) both of which are cache services. So if you choose ART dalvik won't even exist, I suspect.
