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 :/

Wipe Cache Question

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

(solved) uninstall process very slow

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

[Q] All processes force closing after restart

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.

[APP][1.5+] Clear Cache (App Cache, Partition Cache, Dalvik Cache)

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).

[Q] How to wipe ART cache

As the title say, someone known how to wipe ART cache?

The advantages of ART is that it doesnt run from a cache folder but directly from the apps. No need to clean. (Some body correct me if wrong)
I believe it pre-compiles similar to Dalvik, but more in advance. I know apps use more space in ART vs Dalvik.

i get around 600MB back switching back to Dalvik

It is true that storage usage increases when ART is enabled, but it doesn't mean ART uses more space than dalvik. It's a misconception from people. What happens is that when you turn on ART, the folders "cache/dalvik-cache & data/dalvik-cache" stay untouched taking a huge space. Use a file explorer and confirm.
If you wipe those 2 folders, you might gain even more space back than what you had using dalvik.
I think this can be closed Thanks
