Hi,
When I try to uninstall an app using app manager on settings, it takes more than 10 minutes! App manager can't even calculate the app sizes. It keeps 'calculating....'
Uninstalling from play store or touchwiz launcher theroblem doesn't happens.
I cleared cache, dalvik cache, full wipe, ROM change.... Any ideas to find where is the problem?
If you do a reset or power off the device the problem goes away. I had that issue occasionally before the jellybean update.
Unfortunately when I reboot, the app keeps installed and then I need to start the uninstall again, and wait 10 minutes. The same happens clearing app data and cache, for any app.
When uninstalling/clearing data, all app install/update from Google play remains in a 'queue' waiting this operation.... Really annoying.
Solved. I Formated system, cache and data partition, installed last zto rom 4.1.2 and it was solved

Really glad you got it fixed and thanks for posting what you did to fix it. Always worried something like this will happen to me.

Hey guys,
Question from a noob here. When exactly should you wipe data and cache?
I noticed that when I recently installed the gala x theme from rom manager before the install I was given 2 options. Make a back up and wipe data and cache. I went ahead and of course made a back up but chose not to wipe data and cache.
What is the right thing to do?
Thanks in advance
no one???? Some one must know.
If you are on a clean rom with no themes and your installing a new theme then no. The only time you need to wipe date and cache is if you are going from one rom to another. The reason for that is because of conflicting info.
So yes you are good if just adding a new theme

Just a side note here; I wipe my cache weekly. I noticed my phone getting slow after the 2.2 OTA. Also, I got all kinds of FC's and other problems. I wiped my cache ONLY and it fixed all of my problems. Your system will rebuild the cache again as needed, so the first load may take a little longer, but there is less junk to sort through, so it's quicker to load on the next request. Oh, and as long as you do NOT wipe the data you won't lose anything.
Would it be advisable to wipe data and cache before restoring a back up?
What kind data is deleted with "Wipe data" ?
I come from fixed sbf, because of black screen and white led.
After that I had internal memory 128mb.
Tried Factory reset and Wipe data, nothing.
I tried to do according to the Beginners guide.
But after installing CM7, and kernel Froyo and Gapps, there is not said, that wipe data is needed (in cm7 instructions).
So I got stuck on the Google logo screen.
Once again, from the beginning with fixed sbf.
Does it make difference, because I have 128mb internal memory or is Cache somewhere else? In ram ?
HI All,
i was bored so i was trying out something stupid on my mobile...... backfired badly!!
Here is what i did on my Samsung Galaxy 3 - I5801 mobile. i went on to create a MMS message.
1) I creted a new message. Did not select anything in "To" field
2) menu->attach->videos
3) Selected a big file 1.5 GB .mp4 file( well just giving a try i thought no harm.)
4) once the message was ready, i clicked on view just to preview the video file.
The video did not play and white screen showed up. i clicked back the video player and it force Closed. I have Mx Video Player installed.
5) I clicked Back button to come out of the message, it asked me "Your message will be discarded because it has no valid recipients". I cliked OK
And i am in Deep S**t now.
1)Immediately Notification area shows "Low on space" . Phone storage is getting low.
2) I go to Manage application and see Dialer Storage shows top on the list of Sort by size .... Dialer Storage - 47MB!!!!!
3) I tried to create some space by uninstalling some apps(uninstalled Google Update & Bubble Blast)
4) I cleared some applications cache.
5) In hast i also opened "Contacts Storage -> Clear Data"
6) After that i observe all contacts are deleted...!!!!!!.
I there a way out of this.
Thanks Guys any input is appreciated ....
Try clearing messaging app data. Or try to check if the message is really discarded.
Cheers

Try going into cwm recovery and clearing cache and dalvik cache if you're on a custom kernel.
Edit, if your not on a custom kernel just boot into recovery and wipe cache

hmmm... As of now i dont understand much of what you have asked me to do. i need to some searching about CWM recovery and dalvik cache.
In the phone i have Eclairs 2.1 kernel 2.6.29(no root or any other updates done)
I need to spend some time and work on what you have suggested ...
I will get back once i am done.
If you have any links for those related to cwm recovery and cache clear it would help.
Thanks a lot

you need root access to make changes in system apps (as in dialer storage)
have you tried clearing the cache in the recover menu?
You can re sync data from your Gmail!!
Basically, turn off your phone, hold volume up+volume down+home+power button and once it boots let go of the power button. You will go to the recovery screen, use ur volume keys to scroll up and down. Select wipe cache partition since your on sotck kernel. Have you tried clearing dialer storage?
Btw, if worse comes to worst, root your phone using superoneclick root. After that install titanium backup and backup all your apps. Then boot into recovery mode and factory reset. Then reboot and restore your apps using titanium backup
Cheers

hey guys, I am facing a weird problem. Whenever I restart my phone all processes stop working on boot and then I have to reflash Rom again. And this is happening with most of the ROMs in which I am using S2E app. Anybody knows how to solve this.

Bro! As Raj Joshi said, always use link2sd. I'm also using it & remove similar apps(if any) as they may conflict with each other. And don't link dalvik cache of apps to sd-ext.

Hello,
please check my latest app called 'Clear Cache':
With Clear Cache you can clear all the Android caches on your device. Just hit the button and the corresponding cache on your device will be cleared. This can speed-up your device and of course it also helps to get more free internal memory.
Features:
-Clear App cache
-Clear Partition cache (needs root)
-Clear Dalvik cache (needs root)
-Show the current sizes of all those three caches (needs root)
Google Play
Maybe it's useful to someone
Very useful indeed. Thanks:good:
Seems pretty effective. Nice and simple too. Thanks.
thx for your replies
On my old android device with low free internal memory clearing the caches helped to speed to it up a bit.
That's why i created this app finally
after clearing dalvik im stuck on my boot logo (N7000 4.1.2 XXLT4) :/
is it building a new cache or what because after i cleared the cache the phone was really laggy and thats why i "killed" it so now its not booting :/ but i still have access to cwm
Thanks man

The app only clears the caches (=removes the cached files).
If you cleared the Dalvik-Cache the first boot after clearing could take a while, because Android will create this cache again. For example on Android 4+ this rebuilding process then is shown as something like "Optimizing Apps".
App and partition cache will be rebuilt on the fly by Android (if the system needs something cached).

Pretty useful. Thanks buddy!
After a factory reset, when i switch to art the system is showing that is optimizing 166 apps, after i switch back to dalvik is showing only 64 apps, if i repeat this step it happens again, is this a bug? is anyone facing the same issue?

The stock apps have the .odex files, which are basically the .dex (dalvik cache) files, but in the /system partition.
But they are the dalvik cache, the art cache files need to be rebuild, so system apps don't build dalvik cache, but they build aot cache

What works best for you guys? ART or Dalvik?
I like ART, although I have issues on boot :/
