Well, you know when you clear your cache and Dalvik cache and it takes a while for all your icons to come up? Well, I noticed that it has been doing this every time I reboot my phone now. Where before it would only do it when I would boot into recovery and cleared those caches. Any reason for this?!
Thanks in advance...
PS - My setup is as listed in my sig below.

Any time I've ever had lag like that when the phone was booting up, was if either it was immediately syncing things when it boots up, or if i hadn't wiped dalvik and cache in a while. Usually wiping the cache's would solve the issue. Also do a battery pull. If that doesn't help, maybe change the kernel. How does the phone run otherwise, once it's all booted up? Maybe you just have a ton of apps that are all starting up when the phone is booting up, I'm not sure.

Hey all,
I have an ext3 partition for my apps, and I noticed that it was using 400+ mb when I only have for about 200 mb MAX of apps. So I wondered if it was my dalvik cache (which i also store on that same partition) since it had been using 80 MB before.
So I cleared dalvik cache and cache (not data), and now my phone won't boot anymore.
I can still go to recovery. I tried backing up (ofcourse AFTER I had the problem) and then restoring, hoping somehow that would work, but nothing. I have waited an hour on the HTC logo, so I doubt that the dalvik re-initializing would take that long?
Anybody knows what I should do? Should I try to reflash my ROM (without clearing data first) to try if that works. Or if that does not work, is the last resort really using a previous nandroid backup?
Cheers!
nobody? :s

Hi, strange one this!!! Dalvik cache normally regenerates itself on boot after a wipe,But you say you backed up after the problem!!! Why would you back up knowing you had the problem? So I guess that's why you can't boot up your rom. So yes I would definitely try a rom install like you said and failing that then its either a fresh install wiping everything except sdcard of course or an old nandroid. Goodluck.
" once its gone,its GONE."
I made the backup after the problem to see if restoring it somehow would fix the bug that I had (which as I suspected was not the case). But it was not the origin of the error.
Anyway I reflashed my ROM and it seems that everything is okay again, still have all my data etc.
Still my ext3 is using way to much space but that's another thing to look at
I was flashing CM9 from CM7 on my Motorola Defy, botched it up intially due to a slip of my finger which led to me to Clear the cache first. But then I restarted the entire process by Clearing Data -> Installing -> Flashing Kernel and so on...
But when I tried to clear the Dalvik Cache, the phone didn't delete it. It didn't give me a message that it wiped the cache, but it didn't say otherwise either. This led me to believe that the cache just didn't exist anymore.
As a result, I'm unable to install apps - Says there is no memory and I need to make more. Also, everytime the phone comes on is treated as the first time. It takes me through the whole process of Setting up an account and everything. This has rendered my phone obsolete.
Please help me!
Thanks in advance.

EDIT: Solved, just flashed the stock SBF. But is that the only solution?
Turned on my A500 just now and the Android Is Updating popup flashed... then the counting of updated processes... all the version numbers seem to be the same... anyone else get this or have an idea what they updated?
If it's any consolation, it isn't an update. I have no idea what the issue is. But my tablet does the same thing every so often. It's as if I cleared my cache or something...
...odd
The only time I've seen that was on a reboot after a major update. Oh well, no worries.
That occurs when the Dalvik Cache has been cleared. Before ICS you would just see the boot animation the whole time that was happening, in ICS they decided to show you the process. Don't know why your Dalvik is clearing when you power down though.

Perhaps the OP should format /cache and wipe the dalvik-cache using recovery? Perhaps the permissions are messed up or the partition has gone awry.
Some odd things happened yesterday- All media on the storage card acted like the card was first plugged in. Everything had to index all over again. Then other little things that pretty much confirms some cache was cleared somehow. No idea... I'm probably going to back things up and do a hard reset.
Hi,
Hopefully someone has a solution for me.
This morning I switched on my TF101 and when I tried to go home from Gmail the button lit up but did nothing. I was convinced it didn't work. So I treid a few reboots and still nothing. I tried some other launchers and still nothing.
On further inspection I realised that when turning on slide unlock that also didn't work. Changing to pin, pattern or password still shows no unlock.
Are you running stock or a custom ROM?
Are you running stock recovery or a custom one?
I'd try to wipe the cache and dalvik, it fixes lots of weird software issues.

It's the stock ROM rooted with debugfs.
I know how to wipe the cache but how do I wipe the dalvik. I remember doing it once a couple of years ago on another device but for the life of me now can't remember.
I was going to try clearing the davlik with Terminal Emulator and typed "su" followed by "ls" and all it showed is "recovery". Does this mean it's somehow landed in recovery mode? If so, how do I get out of it?
I managed to clear dalvik through terminal emulator. Optimised apps and rebooted but the problem persists.

If you have CWM, go to advanced, wipe Davlik.

Thanks, now I remember I used CWM.
I thought I'd report back on this in case the information might help someone else down the line.
I tried the cache/davlik clear method and that did nothing for me. I stuck with it for a few days and eventually resorted to button saviour. I also realised that not only was the home button and any lock screen not working, but when using the ASUS quick settings in notifications it didn't show all settings.
This lead me to believe something in the system itself had gotten warped.
Today I did a Titanium backup, factory reset and restored all apps, data and system data. Initially it was fixed but on restart the problem casme back. I knew I'd restored whatever had caused the issue. My next step was to do another factory reset. Since it takes minutes to manually get the system back I only restored apps and data.
This time, after restore the issue was gone. So clearly the issue was in a system setting.
So for anyone else having this issue. Backup with Titanium, factory reset and only restore apps+data.
My settings force close and have went through cleared cash, closed apps recent, even went to safe mode and still forces close. Any ideas besides the ones you can dig offline?
I think a simple factory reset and clearing cache partitions will do. Try clearing only cache partitions first see if it works alone if not then factor reset (from recovery menu)

Found out at one point recently i had applied substratum theme and did a theme. Caused conflicts so i uninstalled but apps it added sometime later caused issues and locked me out. So downloadd a ram booster which let me scan for running apps and seen android symbol by the apps and removed. Walla. Thanks for help. Hate starting phone fresh after swipe or factory reset. There is an answer if ya look. Just couldnt find till now.
So note to any users clean out unused apps and attached files. They can cause issues down road!
