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).

I got fed up with Clean master app. Should I use this one instead or is there a better one too?
Pretty useful. Thanks buddy!

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 guys I just wanted to share with you this useful app, especially when you are running low on space or if you have small internal memory. This comes handy when you are not using app2sd or s2e.
App Cache Cleaner cleans your application caches only, it doesn't touch your system caches. So it's safer to use than other apps to clean caches.

i'm using it too and it works fine. and after a longer time without cleaning up my cache, with this tool/app i get simply a "boost"... Working with my HTC HD2 Android 2.3.7 with only 2 MB cache...

haha NICE! I believe it's a must have app, specially when you're not rooted.
I will have to check this out for my ICS Kindle Fire... Because the Memory on that sucks... lol
Thanks

Closed, post in the proper section
So maybe I just don't understand what wiping cache and dalvik cache in recovery means exactly, BUT I just wiped both (something I've been recommended to do many times to help with various issues) and I just noticed that all my browser tabs are still open... Shouldn't they have been cleared out?
Just confused...

It's my understanding that the cache is for bits & pieces of info that the system uses over and over but not significant enough to be stored in the limited but much faster RAM. Kinda like the cache on your hard drive. The dalvik cache, I think, is for info related to your apps and how they are to interact with your system and ROM communications with each other.
Your browser tabs, google, e-mail info and the like is stored in the 'user data/factory reset' recovery selection which is why you still have all that. It's info that you have input after flashing your ROM & setting it up along with the location of your apps on your desktop pages.
I THINK.........LOL
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.
So i lost around 1GB of internal storage, i read a post that suggesti to clear dalvik cache, is there any risk of wiping dalvik cache?? Like bootloop?? And btw im using stock rom and rooted thanks
Edit
Did I say anything?

After you reboot, Dalvik cache and Cache are re-created.

wrong....
you can loosr every cache related data from your apps..... eg:
if you are signed in XDA app and have set some params (like color= dark theme) then those stuff goes into dalvik cache...(art in cm12) those stuff will be loosed
depending on "how" your app does savegames you can also loose savegames (most games will save it in other folders so its not often)

But from this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/xperia-l/general/solved-memory-problems-xperia-l-t2496895 it said that cleaning dalvik cache is the solution for internal memory leak.
Do you have any solution?? as you can see from my screenshot that a system files take around 1GB space and XL only have 4GB
