Hi everyone,
This is my first post and definitely noob question:
Is there any way to automatically clear application caches? I normally use CacheMate for Root Users app. I have Tasker and Llama installed so was wondering if I could clear app caches using a schedule say using Tasker.
Again, this is a noob question so thanks a lot in advance for your response.
I am running a ZTE Blade with stock Froyo rooted with z4root.
Thanks again.

Actually I found this solution on google groups, involving Tasker and a shell script. Seems to work perfectly!
https://groups.google.com/forum/?fromgroups=#!topic/tasker/yZ_g4x4KURA
Using the event 'Display off' as a trigger for the script that removes all cache. My ray seems nice and fast now... Of course it will take longer to launch any app now after the screen has been off, but at least the interface doesn't become super slow anymore now.

Hey guys, just wondering if it is okay to exit all apps and clear RAM in the task manager every night. I do this right before I go to bed. Makes me feel like I'm "Exiting all Windows/Programs" on a PC, so it doesn't drain the battery while I sleep. Can this cause problems with any programs?
Thanks.
No problem .

Hey Alazarin,
Here is a good guide about it

...can't post a link :/

Exiting all apps is fine and a must imo, but 'Clear RAM' is NOT. It will stop certain apps and processes, widgets etc. Only do that if you manually want to do it and know what you are doing.

Correct. I was just not sure if doing this on a habitual and daily basis was a good idea. My concern was that if by clearing RAM, it would affect programs/widgets stability... but then again, I would not want to use any data from that point on. What happens then? Would I just have to re-open the programs/widgets to "activate" them back into memory?

On a slightly related note i clear cache every day as well,some people don't seem to do it as often but it is recommended.

Well he could do that if he wants, but if he runs any scheduler/alarm app it won't work anymore. I also did it and then my Power Schedule app stopped working. So that option is safe if someone is sure that absolutely nothing is needed from the device.
PS- Still if you like to do it then keep your scheduler app under SuperUser list or mark it as 'Do Not Kill' in a File Manager app like Gemini, only this will keep your app to not get closed by Clearing RAM.
Regards.

Only trial and error will answer the question. I have LBE Privacy running on mine, and clearing the RAM does not shut that app down, or the stock alarm app.
It depends on the app/widget as to what happens.

This is true. I clear my RAM once a day, mainly just before bed, and it doesn't shut down the most important App which I depend on running all the time - Sound Manager, which manages my notifications sounds and volume during the night and day. I personally think it is safe, since for me it shuts down everything that is non-essential.

So ever since I updated to 3.2, the android market keeps force closing on me. It works most of the time, but occasionally I'd have to open it three or four times before it started working again.
I've already tried clearing cache, clearing the app's data, etc. I'm on Stock 3.2, and I honestly don't plan on rooting so I can just replace a system app.
I also tried installing the new android market, but as many of you know, it makes a duplicate, then the new one's icon disappears after a reboot.
Sorry if this has been addressed; I've searched the forums and on google, and I couldn't find anything related to this subject.
Thanks, in advance.
I have the exact same problem so any help would be appreciated
Sent from my GT-P7510 using XDA Premium App
I've had occasional problems with the Market since I got my tab, which came with the latest version installed, but it was completely unusable the other day. It repeatedly forced closed and wouldn't stop with the error message. I had to use manage applications to force close it, because the error message didn't really close it. I, too, tried the usual. Clear cache and then even tried clearing data and signing back in, rebooting the Tab, etc. Nothing worked.
I even wrote Google about it, but they responded with the same suggestions I had already tried. I really didn't want to factory reset because the Market app was the only problem. I figured I could just use the web version. Then yesterday I hit the market app without thinking and found it working again. Not sure what happened, but I'm glad it works again.
I had this problem with my Tab and the solution was to remove the "Market" Widget from the desktop

Hey fellow XDA-ers,
I am new here learning how to tweak my Atrix and such. I recently installed the Neutrino v2.2 GT ROM by notorious and it is a fabolous ROM. Very fast and smooth but there is one problem that I cannot afford to have. My calendar stopped working. Every time I try to open it, it just force closes instantly. Does anyone know what the cause of this is?
Thank you in advance
Did it work from the start? Flash the sync add on?
Sent from my HTC Inspire 4G using XDA App
No, it hasn't worked ever since I flashed the ROM. And I did add the sync addon and the google addon too. Everything works perfectly except the calendar.
I would try fixing permissions and seeing of that works. Or PM Notorious with the question. I searched the thread but no one else is having that problem.
Alright ill try that.
Sorry for asking a really noob question, but how do you fix permissions? Do you go into recovery mode and do it? Again, I'm really sorry I'm new to this whole dev thing :/
Hmm, well I went into Recovery and fixed permissions, still FCs though.
Sorry! Nevermind, I finally fixed it! I just had to go into Titanium Backup and uninstall Calendar and Calendar Provider and reinstall them. They work perfectly, thank you for trying to help though! I

Even though I think I disabled the Mocalite app , when I go to Manage apps > Running apps , it;s still there and force stop is required.
We need a root. I like the phone as is , I just don't like pre-installed apps that can't be stopped or removed.
Anyone know what this app is? We can uninstall via titanium backup because it seems to cause some wakelocks, but I have no idea what it is or what it does.
did anybody figure out what mocallite is? i saw it today and wanted to delete it, but i bricked my first ham2, so i learned to be a little more paitent.
MOCALite is said to be " a built in software by Huawei to view Office documents like word, ppt etc "
Thanks for the reply. How did you find out this info?

Hehe, I read that from chinese forum, there is no official answer yet, and another answer is "MOCA Lite" which maybe huawei multi-media client. As Huawei is a memeber of MOCA (Multimedia over Coax Alliance). Since we have recovery now, so feel free try to disable/delete them.
Hi, I force stop my mocalite. N clear my cache on it. Would it affect my phone? How can I reinstalled it back?

Force stopping and clearing cache won't uninstall Mocalite, so it is still on your phone.

Apparently MOCA is a museum. They have weird art and few cool ones.
