Cache clearing (EVO) - General Questions and Answers

Greetings!
I have an EVO and was wondering if there is an app that can clear all of your app caches easier than clicking on each individual app and doing it manually.
Also, is there a downside to periodically clearing your cache to free up space?

I believe cachemate for root users is what you're looking for. Go evo!

Anything available for unrooted? I prefer not to go that route.
Thanks

I believe a free app on the market called Advanced Task Killer can close all your applications or some with selection on checkmarks.
Maybe that helps you, gl.

[Q] GR-11 App Sorting

Has anyone found a way to sort apps in GR-11?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1056542
I didn't see anything addressing app sorting in the link that you posted?
Search for Touchwiz AppSorter in the market. If it says database error after you run it, just clear the TouchWiz data (gonna reset your launcher though) Drove me nuts for about 20 minutes till I figured it out lol!

I got the database error with that app. I cleared the data, it didn't fully sort the apps. It left the original first page of apps, then sorted the subsequent pages.
Is there a way to not only sort ALL apps, but to make it re-sort when you install a new app without losing you 7 screens?
Also, has anyone figured out how to choose your home screen? I only want 3 screens, but I want screen 2 to be "home" not 3.

Use a different launcher until it's fixed? GR is still in beta. And until it's out of beta expect there to be bugs.

He linked you to that thread because that's where your question should've been asked instead of making a new thread.
Go to Settings> Applications> Manage Applications>All>TwLauncher>Force Stop then Clear Data...but it will reset your home screen...you'll have to customize it again...

I just swapped over to Launcher Pro.....everything is sorted nicely now!
I went with ADW free. Works great so far. Loving GR-11.

Go Launcher EX sorts it well.
Launcher pro for the win..

The TouchWiz app sorter from the market has recently been updated to support TouchWiz 4.0. Therefore you can now use it on your GR-12 ROM without getting that database error .

Try going to settings > applications > manage applications > opera mini and when you open it, it should have a "clear defaults" button.

try going to the phones main settings, applications, manage applications, all, browser.. now press clear data and clear cache. try opening the browser again.
You can try going to the home screen -> click menu button -> Manage apps -> Click the All tab -> scroll to Browser (or whatever browser she uses) -> click that, then clear data.
That may cause her to lose bookmarks, etc.

Hmm couldnt just cancel the edit you were doing? It requires you to save...
Haven't been able to get anything stuck, it always managets to drop the item wherever it was heading.
Picture?
If your using touchwiz launcher, you xan go to manage apps, and click on TWlauncher. Theres a button that says clear cache. Clear it - it will reset the launcher to default.

This should work. But are you saying it's stuck even if you re-boot the phone? If so that is really strange.
Or, you can try downloading a different launcher from the Market. I personally love Go Launcher Ex (with Honeycomb Theme--separate download from the market). Let's you multi-select apps for your homescreens which makes it quick and easy to set up.

multiple wallpaper app

Does anyone else find that multiple go wallpaper shows down their phone? I'm running a evo 4g and it seems to get sore when running the mult wallpaper. Is there any multi wallpaper app that won't do this?
Not sure exactly how much of an effect your talking about but I use MultiPicture Live Wallpaper and dont see much of a slow down. Try it out and let me know what you think

Well, it sort of lags for me too on go launcher. Just get an app that clears ram or running apps. That should do the trick.

Well is there a way to set an app to automatically clear ram and running apps instead of you having to constantly do it?
Try Go task manager and set auto clear every hour.
