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.

Running Burntheory. I was COPYING not moving pics from phone to computer. Afterwards, gallery wont full load. Got about 8 folders, few load but maybe 5-10% at most.
Tried clearing data. Reset.
Bout to try and wipe data and dalvik. Don't feel like factory reset because I'm at work and need phone working for clients. Any suggestions?
Try unmounting and remounting your SD. Then reboot.

even better. Been wanting to contact and write in develooment forever, but I need 8 posts first. I first wiped all to use shift. My exchange was fried. fc before I could add account. Tried everything and someone made this complaint on page 6
Of the shifttheory thread. Anyhow, the fix for me was load my backup of burn theory (prob work with aosptheory too) then just wipe cache and dalvik. I flashed shiftTheory on top and problem solved. However, my gmail started FCing. Eventually it fixed with no special action.
I always assumes full wipe would be better always. But in this case it wasn't.
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.

Hi,
So the web browsers and social apps in total are occupying around 3 GB of phone storage. And I clear them manually every day which really bugs me. I tried es manager's cache clearer but it cleans 1.5GB of cache and keeps the app cache which is the other 1.5GB.
I'm using galaxy note 2 so apps can't be installed on external SD.
How can I make the apps clear their cache automatically? Also isn't the apps job is to clear its cache regularly?
Thanks.
Dear Forum:
I recently switched from iPhone 5S to Xperia Z1c, I was a long time iOS user and now I'm getting to like to Android OS. I have installed an App called Clean Master, it helps you boost your phone's memory and clean junk files to maximize storage. This app raised my concern, does Android OS needs constantly use apps like Clean Master to boost the phone's memory and clean up storage? When using iPhones I never had to worry about whether the memory is low and needs a boost or clearing junk files. So is it highly recommended to have an app like Clean Master around when using Android? I'm not saying this is inconvenient but just want to be clear if apps like this is a must.
Thank you
short answer: no
those cleaning tools are often advertised as miracle ways to speed up your device, but android, as the modern OS it is, can liberate resources when it needs them, the only situation you could use an app like clean master is when you're low on storage and need to clean the cache from all apps
not necessarily, but better if u do.
:good:
rightly said @Bodomizer

Thank you,
that's what I also incline to believe. Thanks for confirming it for me. :good::good:
and clean master make my smartphone slowly.
I usually use Clean Master to kill background processes that takes too much space on RAM, also to clean caches.
It's all up to you anyway
Try something else like the beta of CCleaner for android
I think it's no necessary. Usualy I download it, use it and uninstall it again till next time.
didn't normally need it

Indeed! You can clear cache with only restarting your phone once a week or a month! Apps like this can somethimes be unnecessary and beacuse they run in the background too, they can make your phone slugish!
Thanks for everyone's two cents! I will try using the phone without it then, see how it holds up.

Nice app and clean UI. I run it on my Xiao Mi and so far so good.
cleaning application it was has a good function
Yeah necessary, it think. Because these applications clean up junk data that is not shown and we never realize. When we install an application then the application will be updated, and when the application is updated then there would be new data and an additional. Once we no longer need the application, and when we uninstall, then just deleted the application only while the additional data is not be lost and these things that we never realized, it has become duty cleaning applications to clean up this problem so that there empty space on the ram
try to learn because there are still other good function
Clean master can definitely speed up an old device by removing stored up cache and removing bloatware (if rooted).
I rarely use it now that I've switched to Lollipop.
Only use it to clean junk and cache. Are there any apps that clean -ONLY- junk / cache / empty folders ?
Clean Master claims to help battery life but I have tested it using another S3 setup exactly the same and the battery drain is identical. Is there any battery app that actually improves battery life. I'm using an S3 with Lollipop (OCT-L ROM)
having cleaning program on android its like having anti virus on you android, not really necessary but everyone use it, but if you have high spec of android device, you can install whatever you want and will not slowing down your device, btw you can clean your app cache in, "setting-app-downloaded-clear app cache" so the choice is your

SD Maid [free/paid] on the Play Store is specifically "made" for such things. hah! CCleaner--formerly Crap Cleaner was a long-time favorite on the PC and now it's for android, and it's free.

Cleanmaster is an app whose size is quite big (takes space of 3 320 kbps mp3 files) and full of adwares. You will not be wishing to waste your mobile data by seeing those unnecessary ads. So better don't download, because it is not necessary at all, and there would be a time when you will be fed up with the ads it shows up!
If you are looking for a serious app, look for GREENIFY.
Note- This app hibernates background process. And yes, if you are rooted, this app is gonna help you a lot by saving your battery, when coupled with Xposed Frameword, i too use this. Your RAM will be free mostly, which cleanmaster fakes!
All the best!
