Will clearing that cache make my phone faster? I hav 2.3.3 rooted stock rom on x10 and hope that clearing that cache will make my phone faster without screwing it up. Currently not.planning to flash anything.

I don't think so. I did it many times when my phone begun to lag. Clearing dalvik cache didn't help. Only fresh install of a ROM did

Not, because your Rom is laggy by itself. You must add some tweaks and wipe bloatware which comes with Stock Rom, flash better kernel etc... But, if you want more responsive rom, you must find custom Rom that suite your needs.

I don't know what i have done wrong. I have a vibrant with team whiskeys nero v3 ROM. I ran a back up so that i could flash the bionix-v ROM, and now my phone will barely work. It is extremely laggy and freezes constantly. Any fixes?
Personally I would odin back to stock and start all over again with a fresh system

Wipe cache. Factory reset. Alwaus wipe when you flash. Dont install old rom data with new roms.
Use appmonster or something to backup apps.
Quicker install than market.
Remember its not just easier but its better to start new.
Load each app again. Try not to mess with data.

i flashed back to stock using the 4.5.91 .sbf found in the superthread here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1125944
and now i have no camera app i tried to install it using appextractor which will extract apps from backups made in recovery it says it installed it but still no camera...
any help would be much appreciated. thank you!
Simplest fix would be to reflash the sbf. Try the MIUI camera if you'd like http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1244829
If u didnt bother wiping cache, system ,user data before flashing im not surprised.

I found the stock camera app in the forum and pushed it to /system/app then did a factory data reset and its all good now. Thank you for your responses! And before I flashed the sbf I only wiped cache and dalvik cache so maybe that was my problem.

I just tried to install the latest viper redline rom, but after i did it just keeps rebooting. I am rooted using revolutionary, i used the steps from the site but just can't get to to not reboot, can someone please help me out. also android version is 2.3.4 if that helps when giving a solution to my problem. thanks in advance.
What steps did you take in installing the ROM? Did you make sure to do a full wipe?
Steps to take:
-Make sure that you wipe correctly. With a new ROM you should be wiping Data, Cache, Dalvik Cache, System, and Boot.
-If you're able to actually boot it but it resets afterwards, did you flash a kernel or overclock? Undo those types of things.
-If it boots, try backing up all of your apps and then uninstalling them to see if one of them is the culprit.
So it comes down to:
IF IT DOESN'T BOOT:
-check to see if you got a bad download (redownload or check MD5)
-full wipe
-install
IF IT BOOTS:
-could be an app issue, overclocking, kernel, etc
See what that gives you.

i wiped the cache and data that was it. don't know how to wipe dalvic cache or system can you either tell me or give a link to the step by step guide. i didn't overclock or put a different kernel on the phone.i did redownload the rom to make sure it wasn't the rom. All it does is show the viper across the screen then reboots show the htc on the white screen then reboots again.
What recovery do you use?

I'm gonna bet this is why you are having problems. Try updating the firmware.

I have updated the firmware, and far as the recovery i believe it's the one that was in the rev root.
try again wipe and reflash
Thanks for the help everyone, i figured the was when i rooted using revolutionary clockwork wasn't in it, so i installed a recovery and the rom works like a charm.
That was my suggestion. The rev root method fails to install cwm.
Ps there are currently no working kernels with the new basr

i was using Saurom ROM at 1st and it worked perfectly for my galaxy note i717(this was my 1st attempt to root my phone and install a new rom), and i saw a better ics rom ("Onlyone" ics rom) at rootmygalaxynote.com, i flashed the new ics rom into my phone and it stuck at the samsung logo. i tried to re-install the ics rom again and same thing happened. So, i go back to re-install my old Saurom ROM. But when the phone get into the main screen, it is extremely laggy and eventually freeze, most of the cases, the phone reboot itself. i m so scare that the phone is not able to read any rom now. and i am new to smart phone, can any Brother and Sister in this Forum can me get through this. i m so
You are wiping data cache and dalvik before each flash right?

^This.
Sounds like you're not wiping properly between flashings.
And don't worry OP. XDA can help you through just about anything!
When flashing a new rom you should being doing the factory reset/data wipe, then wipe cache, wipe dalvik cache. Then flash the rom zip. I would only download roms from the xda post, and the dev usually posts instructions on how to flash it.
To flash the Only1 ICS rom...you must be coming from an earlier ICS build (UCLD3 or UCLC5). If not then this is what you need to do. Flash the UCLE2 leak thru ODIN first. Let it reboot and let it settle for about 5-10 mins. Then Flash CWM via ODIN again. Once that is done...you are ok to flash the Only1 ICS Rom.
You don't have to be coming from ICS to flash OnlyOne. Truth is most Devs have some sort of wipe built in for their ROMs. OnlyOne Dev does not. All you have to do is wipe data/factory reset and then install the OnlyOne ROM. Unless I am wrong, wiping data also wipes cache. Simple as that.
sounds like paranoid anticipation not letting your dv cache and system files build. Since you said both times Samsung logo... I don't think you waited long enough... Plus use flapps first. Then if you wanna have problems to fix, try other roms... In my opinion.
Btw.. Use our development section to get the original content... Not some link from another website redirecting eventually to us anyway.

Now my head i about to explode
Anyhow, I have an annoying problem.
Before the upgrade to XXALF6 I noticed no problem other than the known drainage of the battery in idle mode.
I rooted and flashed a ROM and it was ok.
But I got sick of the ROM and I hard reset the phone.
No problems.
Then I upgraded to XXALF6 - still unrooted and all.
First thing I notice is that the phone is lagging a bit now and then. Then when I sent and recieved an SMS or two the phone hung and rebooted.
I seems that happend because when vibration was active.
Also there was a new message saying "com.google.process.gapps" stopped working. And that came up again and again.
As far as I could find online that had to do with syncing the calendar and it should help to clear calendar cache in the phone. It did not.
Then I rooted the phone, just "CF-Root-SGS3-v6.4", no other ROM.
Now the problem was even worse and also the sound stops working on and off all the time.
I tried to find the "com.google.process.gapps" with a file explorer with no luck.
I do find it in ROM Toolbox but its not possible to see the where on the phone the file is even there. Also its not possible to uninstall or even kill the process.
I did notice there seem to be doubles of some apps that I didnt notice previously to flashing CF-Root this time.
And I recall the new guide never mentions to wipe any phone data whatsoever during rooting the phone, and now I am thinking that maybe that should have been in the guide?
Anyhow.. appreciate ANY tips at all, Im so sick of this for the moment ^^
Go to cwm recovery, wipe cash, wipe dalvik cash, wipe data/factory reset, then go to mounts&storage, format system. Then put your phone into the download mode and flash ROM again with odin. This should give you a nice and clean install,without any force closes..

I did wipe all things, cache, Dalvik, battery and user data with CWM.
At the moment it seems the phone is quite okay actually! The only thing left is SU.
U think I have to format system as well? What else would really be "cleaned" out that wasn't allready with the wipes?
Trust me,some of the devs insisted on formating system before flashing their custom roms,and I did have a bunch of force closes,until I decided to go their way and fully format the phone. It then installs everything from the scratch,so there's no way anything to go wrong.. give it a try,and report back... btw. make sure that you DO NOT restore any of the system data,if you use TB

Yeah I pretty much learnt same way as predja it is always better to do full system wipe, it is not always necessary with some roms but if you do it you won't come across the problems you have as often.
