I'm using Cache Cleaner NG and I wanted to know if it is OK to use it on EVERY app. Right now, I have it set to clean every cache on the Thunderbolt, including the SD card. There are settings to exclude certain apps if I want. Should I exclude anything?
So far I haven't had any propblems cleaning everything.
I usually just clear everything, I have not experienced any issues, wait for others to chime in though
I've also used it for every app without any issues.

I loaded CM 7.1 stable on my Fascinate a couple months ago and sometime there after I started getting Force Closes all over the place.
Rebooting my phone only seemed to temporarily alleviate the issue for an hour or so, but shortly after it would start occurring again. It wasnt until I opened Touchdown that I found the potential cause as it reported I was "Low on space". I found this pretty odd seeing as I had several GBs free on both internal and SD storage.
After searching around a bit I believe it's my cache thats filling up. I ran Clear Cache in CWM it cleared up the issue for several days but eventually it starts occurring again.
First question: is clearing the Cache via CWM on regular intervals going to hurt anything?
Second (and more important) question: Is there any way to fix this without going with a different ROM?
Thanks a bunch in advance!!
I got it too!
I'm having the same issue, or I believe I am. You get a notification saying your low on space, and you can't receive any txtmsg's? Once you clear up the space the msg's come through fine.
I was using the stable for a long time.. and didn't get the error, and then I flashed the latest nightly and that's when I got the error.
I don't think the nightly is what caused the error, I actually believe it's pure coincidence. I've managed to keep in under control and can fix it when it happens.
I clear my cache as well, but I found out that the /data/data also needs some cleaning to get rid of the error. When I free some space in the /data/data I don't even need to touch my /cache at all.
I will post any other findings... info.. etc.. that I find.

your datadata folder is full most likely. You can try uninstalling some apps, or try running ng cache cleaner from market, or read this thread and try this tweak JT posted!

A novice question Im sure, but whats the best/easiest way to see how much free space is available on these partitions?
use the disk usage app from market.
I purchased World of Goo, but whenever I try to download it from three Play store I get an insufficient memory error.
I'm running CM 7.2 and my datadata partition is only 56 mb, so I should have plenty of room.
You probably have a bunch of cache built up somewhere. Maybe go into Browser or Market or YouTube or even the XDA app or something like that and delete some of the cache (not data). I use Cache Cleaner NG and have it set to clean every morning at 5 am. I am betting that probably will cure what ails you.
Hey wood, I just stared using that since your recommendation and it removed 168mb from internal SD so.. thanks hah anyways, when the apo auto started at the set tike, what happens? Does the phone light up and start cleaning stuff or is it all done without user knowing and at the end tells you the info on notification bar because I would not want to be woken up from a sleep because my phone is lit up.

When I am on ICS I use the normal method. When on 2.3 or lower I use the Old Cleaning method and tick the SDcard and it will clean any cache on your SDcard too. Like from sdcard/android/data/your app or sdcard/data/your app.
If my screen is locked or black it doesn't light up at all. That is why I got it set to clean before I get up in the morning so I can start my day clean as a whistle.
Rider if you are still on Zen then make sure you do not use Old Cleaning method or it will hang for a long time. Something about it looking for external_SD and not emmc.
Hello,
i would like to know if there is an android app that really cleans cache data of every app..i tried many apps but for example they aren't able to clean browser search history and many other things.
Another thing about the app that i'm looking for is the possibility to clean the data app..i make you an example..i login in Facebook..then i start the data clean and this delete all informations,data,everything saved by that app..then if i open Facebook again it thinks it's the first time i ve opened it (i can obtain it if i go in the options of my android then applications then i select an application and i push "cancella dati" in italian..i think "delete data" in english..so no cache cleaner but app data cleaner)..
It would be nice to have all these things in a complete great app.
I hope that you understood everything.
thank you so much.
i m waiting your answer.

Have you tried SD Maid?
Sent from my ARCHOS 80G9 using XDA Premium HD app
SD Maid seems to be the best. Cachemate is also pretty good (for cache).
i ve tried both..
fos sdmaid i asked the refund..
i think there isn't a very complete app..just because it's hard for a developer add all informations about where every app in the market saves data..there are thousand of apps..it's a too big work..
anyway..if u find something tell me..
thank you!
What does the wipe chace from recovery delete?

For erasing history:
History Eraser - https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=mobi.infolife.eraser
For clearing cache:
1Tap Cleaner - https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.a0soft.gphone.acc.free
Been using these for a long time and they do what you're asking for. In 1Tap cleaner you can clear cache for all apps and if you hold down on an app it'll take you directly to the app info screen so you can clear data there. Much easier than going through the Manage Applications menu.

The wipe cache option in recovery formats /cache partition of the device, which is a system cache and not app cache.
------------------------------
/cache
This is the partition where Android stores frequently accessed data and app components. Wiping the cache doesn’t effect your personal data but simply gets rid of the existing data there, which gets automatically rebuilt as you continue using the device.

I recommend 1Tap Cleaner. It has history/cache/call and text cleaners. Really does clear all of them too. Helps save space.

Seconding this one. I use it in conjunction with tasker so it keeps things clean after exiting, etc.
Yes 1tap cleaner is very good.
OK I came across this problem last month & tried to find a solution. I discovered many posts to the same problem however I was only able to fix it by doing a factory reset. The problem has come up again & I'd rather not reset it again. It only comes up after numerous picture uploads to Facebook. Until I do that my phone runs fine. I'm running Open Kang if that makes a difference. Given this information does anyone have a suggestion as to how to fix it? It was suggested that I flash a new ROM as maybe the one I have is too big? Starting to get extremely frustrated with a phone I've only had since April & really know nothing about

This is (as others suggested) a problem with the ROM you have installed. There really is no way of getting around a wipe, but you can download an app called "Titainum Backup" and backup your apps from there. Once you get into your new ROM, simply download Titainium Backup again and restore your apps.
As far as fixing the problem goes, I would reccomend using ODIN to flash back to stock, then flash CM9. (However, I am sure that flashing from your current rom directly to CM9 would work just as well)
The real reason this is occurring is the mounting of the /datadata simlink to the /data/data partition, this is actually in the kernel and sets it when flashing, not the rom. That partition stores the data for applications, and continues to grow as apps run. Often times when you sync alot of emails it will also fill the partition when its mounted as /datadata, so that makes sense with your pic uploads to facebook, now I'll tell you why.
Early on in ICS builds, we had two schools of thought. If you mount with the /data/data partition, you have essentially 2GB of space for that app data, however, this comes at the cost of decreased performance and much slower application response times. If its mounted with /data/data symlinked to /datadata, it clips that partition at about 180MB, a lot smaller, but the increase in performance is phenomenal.
So it was damned if you do (slow response times) or damned if you don't (less space) for those of us in the rom game. I think most (myself and DD included) made a conscious decision after lots of testing, to use /datadata with less space, for faster performance.
You may be easily able to resolve it by performing some simple app maintenance. On apps like email and gmail, set your sync interval down to a few days, uninstall unnecessary applications, and with facebook, I don't use it myself, but try clearing its cache if there is a setting for that, or go into apps in settings, and clear the data for the application. You may have to sign in again, but it should not effect your uploaded content, merely clear the local cache on the phone freeing up that /datadata space.
Hope this sheds some light on the issue for you, and how you can avoid it or remedy it going down the road.

Well, this morning I was cleaning data on my DX (caché, app data, etc.) using Link2SD (I like how it organizes apps and details size of each type of data). Some apps stored 50MB of cache and it bugs me, cause it isn't phone's memory only, microSD card is storing cache too, and I wonder if we can limit the amount of cache stored in the phone (and SD card too).
If your phones rooted, use an app called cache mate, real simple and straight forward, it does what it needs to, and you can set it up to clear cache at certain times. Its a free app, you can get the pro if you want additional features.
Just search it up on the Play Store.
