This mod would probably reduce RAM performance and I don't really recommend using it.
The problem with Android getting slower over time can't be fixed with a simple solution like this one, the problem lies mainly in the accumulation of dalvik cache and other junk-like files. I recommend just maintaining your phone every day.
I personally have just set titanium backup to wipe some caches every night at 2AM and reboot the phone. You could also include dalvik cache in the wipe. I hope that helps you guys out

I too wipe cache regularly and reboot it once a day! That reduces the lag quite considerably!

absolutely not necessary
dalvik-cache and cache is there to be filled
dalvik-cache needs to be filled with .dex files and there is no point cleaning it unless you have some stability issues with specific app. I'm sure you know that it gets filled on boot(if it was cleaned or if there is new app)
Cache partition doesn't get filled so much that you need to clean it every day.Actually mine is pretty empty..
Once I had 1500h uptime, and no problems with stability or laggness (no more than on cleaned phone). First I though that Android is badly made and that it needs to be restarted every few days and cleaning cache but after these 1500h I don't think any more
So what you get after "cache clean" and restart is (99.9%) placebo effect
Good to know mate, thanks. Someone should make a thread about debunking myths and performance in general.
But i really do think there are some junk files accumulated. Sometimes there are remnants of old .dex files and cache on some ROMs accumulate like crazy. Though those are only my personal observations.
Sd maid does a great job at removing junk files... It's like a ccleaner for Android... Is there a ccleaner for Android???

suggestions are very welcome!

Such a cleaner is needed but not for things like registry entries and cache.
Its needed for those apps that directly store their data and cache on the memory card, and don't wipe it when you uninstall. The worst are those which create vague folder namers like "csdata" or something. How are you supposed to know if it belongs to an app you're using or one you've uninstalled?
There should be a better way to store large amounts of app data than mingling it in with user data with vague names.

Yes it is, just posted a new thread about Dolphin Browser (beta) causing standby drain, un installed the app problem persisted.
I installed the Common Sense rom about a week ago, and when I updated it to 1.2.1, I noticed some of my apps were missing. Among these was Uniwar HD, as you can see in the attached screenshot. I got this from the Amazon Appstore and figured it might have just been because of that, but a couple of my apps from the Play Store were gone, too. Anyone have any ideas of what could've caused this?
If it helps, my Evo 3D is the CDMA version with Hboot 1.5 S-on.

I couldn't find it on the Appstore for whatever reason... It was a FAOTD just a few days ago, too. I didn't wipe before flashing, and I believe it was in the phone's storage.

How bout some help from the dev of this Rom a full wipe is required with the upgrade from 1.1 to 1.2.1 because I had to make some data/app changes to sort some bugs out. I recommend wiping everything (except sdcard) twice, and then flashing the Rom, that way no bits and pieces from the last version are there. From 1.2.1 on, you won't need to do this though.
If you haven't tried wiping the cache and dalvik-cache already, do that and see if it works. If not, do as I mentioned above. If you still can get it, send me a pm and we'll sort this out

Hey guys,
I'm having a weird thing happen with my internal storage on my phone.
I'm using stock XWLP7 firmware.
When I try and install an app it says I haven't got enough space, it tells me to delete 1.6gb (I'm trying to install a large Gameloft game)
Sure enough I look in settings-storage and I only have around 700mb available, but I should have ALOT more...... Where has it all gone?
I'm totally stumped and would be very great full for some help.
Here's a screen shot to explain my issue.
If I deduct the used memory from my total 11.49gb I should have 9.8gb spare! It tells me I only have 745mb available, does anyone know where it's gone? lol
Or why this happens?
Thank you guys!

Your screenshot is not displaying.
However you can move some big apps to SD
Thank you for your reply Jokesy!
I'm aware I can move apps to SD, but I would like to find out why my storage is all messed up.......
It just doesn't make any sense....
If anyone knows how to fix it and maybe get back my 9gb of storage I will be very greatful

Get app called sd maid and go through each section clearing stuff.
If you got cwm, wipe cache and wipe dalvik cache, fix permissions and reboot.
Thats all i can offer, it may work!?
IRONY = XDA app, buggy and doesn't work properly!
Mod Edit - do not advocate warez
Thank you for your advice
I already have pro version if SD maid and regularly go through each section deleting stuff.
I also regularly wipe cache and dalvik cache. Probably do them both almost every other day!
Fix permissions whenever I install an app and I also zipalign all my apps.
So I don't really know what's going on..... It's really puzzling me.

The free storage displayed by the system usually only reflects the sdcards partition status, while the low space warning is probably talking about your /data/ partition.
I want one answer who I hope can solve all my doubts.
I installed Link2SD (v. 2.4.2, the latest).
I have about 25-30 apps, but they aren't all heavy (the heaviest is probably Subway Surfers, which is about 30 MB, but I also have got some apps which doesn't occupy neither 1 MB).
So I linked all the apps (both those which were in the internal memory, both those which were in SD card), and the internal memory busy showed in Settings -> Apps -> Apps Management was about 90 MB.
But I have one question: it's better link the apps to SD or move them?
My friend Woft says if I move the apps, it only move the apk, but the data will remain on the internal memory, and if I link them, it move all on the SD (apk and data). Is that the truth or there is some mistakes?
Another thing: why when I wipe the Dalvik Cache, the internal memory who before is 90 MB, it become 147 MB? (I wipe by the recovery mode).
I hope in an your answer and I'm sorry for my bad english, but I'm italian.
Hey bro the better option is to link the app.don't move the app to sd.linking a app is better than moving

Yes thats the Truth and just like they said. Linking is better. Good luck with that :good:
Is better to link the apps.
Clear cache and dalvik cache once a day.
The cache of the apps takes a lot of memory. XDA app haves like 12mb of cache.

Clearing the cache will only mean data is redownloaded, and the cache recreated when needed. It's a good idea if you're not planning to use the app, but if you're using it regularly, you might as well make use of that cache and clear it less often.
As for the dalvik-cache, once a day is overkill. You shouldn't have to do that ever, basically, but sometimes due to linking it's not cleared correctly. Considering it's rare enough, once a week (or more) is enough IMO.

I dont' completely, but as for as I know it is related to building application dependencies & caching related to that. This helps the android system to run without discrepencies between apps. It is going to replace the dalvik(does the same thing of ART in a different classic way). If ART is successful the loading of apps, dependency building, will be faster.
Building the cache, you can see if you have booted your phone soon after wiping dalvik cache from recovery, you may witness the process called "android is upgrading"
My assumption from the what I read & understood is, If ART works as it is intended, you may not need to reboot android to some changes to take effect(if you have changed anything in it) as it need to alter the dependencies. Resutling in improvement in performance as @AndroidNoob69 said above.
And the next thing is, it is still in its infacy, i.e. in developmental stage. Google is expermenting this feature in latest android release kitkat. So this is not a solid concept with error proof. Currenlty developers are exploring it.
Please correct me if anyone knows more.. and if this helped please hit thanks button.........
Dalvik is a virtual where all apps can run without any dependency on a type of device. ART is compiling every application to your device specific, so its running natively, without virtual, those is not creating any bottlenecks as dalvik do.
Very simple but that's it.

So applications in future android may not run in VMs and able run natively. Will it compramise the security in any way? Does ART have any link to SandBoxing? Please clarify.....
Yes, whatsapp is a good example, but I believe support will be very quick on most of apps. Problem might be if you are using some older apps without support.
