I've had this problem for a while, wanted to see if anyone knew of say, a terminal command to run or something to run over ADB to get this issue to go away.
When I reboot the system, I get a lovely message:
"Optimizing system storage and applications... This will take approximately 10 minutes to complete."
This is very annoying and happens both on my newly-rooted and de-launcher'd HD6 and also happens on my HD7, every single time I want to turn it on.
Both of these are Ariel platform (2014).
Has anyone else experienced this? These are both running 5.1.2 (NOT 5.1.2.1) and are using Nova launcher, are rooted, and are gapps'd as well.

I would imagine every kindle does this just as my android phone does too. It's a normal part of the start up after the boot animation. My daughter's kindle does it as well. You could probably find and delete that animation, but then you will probably have a blank screen instead of that animation while your apps and drivers are starting up and being optimized.

you're not getting it, I want it to stop doing the optimization after every single reboot. it should be doing it only once in a while. on the HD6 I just rooted/gapps'd and de-amazon'd in the same fashion it does not do this on every boot, so something in a config file someplace is telling it to do it every reboot and it's getting on my nerves.
it just wastes time when everything is already "optimized" since the last bootup before that.
I'm no stranger to Android shenanigans and I know why it does it. the problem is it should not be doing it EVERY TIME.

Hey guys. as many of you know i am no stranger to the Android system, although i have been pretty much totally absent from the forums since i got a job with limited privelages on my comp.
Before I explain what happened to me, i should say that i have not made ANY changes to my system for at least 4 months, with the exception of build.prop updates, which i my phone has been running fine on for weeks. i found a setup i liked and ive been running it, along with the same root applications, for quite some time.
With that said, heres my timeline of events:
Normal day, doing what i always do on my phone everyday: phone was plugged in to a wall outlet at my desk. streaming music, browsing web, youtube, etc. nothing out of the ordinary
i first noticed something wierd was up when i went to install an old .apk i had saved on my sd card. i opened it through file manager which, naturally, brought up the stock package installer. i clicked ok to install, and it said "installing"..however it nevver finished. it was stuck on "installing" for several minutes. i tried a couple more times, same thing kept happening. i had no idea what was going on.
i went into settings>applications>manage applications. i scrolled down to package installer and clicked on it, with the intention of clearing cache/data, however the values never loaded, it just kept saying "computing". it was doing that for all other apps i checked as well.
then i opened titanium backup and wiped data for package installer through that. operation was performed successfully.
i went to reboot my phone, and thats the last thing it remembers. now whenever i try to turn my phone on, it gets past the kernel splash screen and its all black from there (i have the "no boot anamiation" command in my build.prop). the only response i get at that point is the led buttons will light up if i tap them. i have to pull the battery to turn the phone off/reboot.
i tried pushing packageinstaller.apk to /system/app using adb but that didnt solved anything. i also tried wiping cache/dalvik and fixing permissions through clockwork. nothing has worked.
i am running Froyo Trigger w/ Bali kernel.
sorry for the long post, but i figured id be as detailed as possible to minimize questions.
any suggestions would be great. i ask that no one please suggest factory reset/reflash/odin. i realize that those options are there, but i consider them last resorts. id rather brainstorm a solution than bail immediately.
thanks ahead.
also i forgot to mention, there was nothing wrong with the .apk i was originally trying to install. i have installed it/uninstalled it many times. i tested other .apk files i had, but package installer still behaved the same way
Got your PM
Have you tried to capture a logcat while you're phone is booting? That might tell us what is failing or hanging your boot cycle.
I wouldn't call Odin a last resort personally. Most of the time its the cleanest way to get back to a perfect running state.
Try to get that logcat though, and post it up here. It might not work at all, depends on whether the phone even gets to the portion of the boot cycle where logcat even works, but its worth a shot if you want to investigate the problem.

not sure if i should be embarrassed to admit this, but ive never used logcat...ill look into that
Your first step there is to get the android sdk setup on your pc, then once adb is part of your command line the simple command is "adb logcat" without it quotes. That will start the log displaying in the command line window.
There are other options with the logcat command, that output the log to a text document and its more in depth, but I dont remember it off the top of my head. Maybe someone can post it for you.
The only caveat is how far your phone is booting before it hangs, I think logcat will show something, but won't know for sure until you try it.

Hi all. New to the forums...watched the degrading vid before signing up even and am somewhat newby with phones. I've scoured this site, the motorola support site...which is apparently down til next week now...and a few other sites I came across via pages of google searching. I cannot find the answer other than doing a factory reset...which I really do not want to do as I have a LOT of apps and info of my phone. It should all be backed up via motoblur and the lookout app's backup. But I have months worth of scheduling info in there which will take me more hours to reenter...I reeeeeally don't want to if I don't have to.
Problem: My Atrix 4g is caught in a bootloop. While this is a somewhat common problem, mine seems to be a little different. I'll point form details below and will greatly appreciate any help I get. If you need any more info, please let me know.
-caught in a boot loop. It boots regularly, but reboots about every 2 minutes. There is a good 30-45 seconds where I can access apps etc. However, I don't think that the phone completely finishes its boot cycle before rebooting.
-Occasionally...and I believe ONLY after I reboot via the down volume/power button method...the phone will stay on long enough to receive notifications from the web. Facebook notifications etc etc. Most of the time it doesn't.
-If I had to guess, it's trying to boot some app near the end of its boot cycle that it doesn't like. And I'm assuming it just doesn't like this app's latest update as I've never had this problem before.
-Prior to rebooting via volume/power button, I was getting an error message which I wrote down...and have since accidentally erased. It was something along the lines of "system process failed" and I then had the option of force close or wait.
-Every 3 seconds or so, my notification light flashes purple. It typically shows green during startup, red for notifications...I've never seen purple before.
-I downloaded almost every app I could over the last 10 days of 10, 10c apps from the market.
-I haven't opened most of the apps, and haven't had any problems with any apps that I have opened
-Most of my apps are set to auto-update. Therefore, I don't know which app update could be the problem...assuming this is the problem
-I'm in the process of removing my apps 1 at a time every 2 minutes or so...as I get a chance during the final stages of the phone's rebooting. So far, 10 apps in and no success. Only another 200 apps or so to go. ugh...
Any ideas? help? booze?
Thanks in advance.
How about wiping the cache and Dalvik cache? This will not affect or uninstall any of your apps or personal info.
Sent from my MB860 using Tapatalk
Thanks for the advice and quick response. I don't seem to be able to clear the dalvik cache without rooting the phone...is this correct? Went thru the market for dalvik cache cleaning apps and they all require root. My phone isn't rooted.
ok if your not rooted does this mean your on a stock rom? is it possible one of these 200+ apps are a virus or malicious? root your phone use titanium backup to backup all your apps and factory reset or go try and get a replacement and keep your sd wich will have the backup
I had a boot loop problem too once. Turned out to be a defective SD card. removed it and it booted. It could not be read by any PC either so it was definitely dead.
This is starting make me a little nuts. Every now and then, and it's becoming more and more common, apps just won't start. Or if they do, it takes a long time (say 20 seconds) before they do.
When it starts behaving this way, I can usually fire up SystemPanel via SwipePad and tap End All. Then, after I exit SystemPanel, the app I tried to start before will usually start up. If I keep running for a while, though, things will give me more and more problems, until either I get too frustrated and reboot, or nothing at all will start and I have to reboot.
After a reboot (which takes waaaaaaay too long, by the way, for a phone of this caliber ... I think my ****ty old Samsung Moment booted faster than this phone), things are usually okay for a little while. But too often I won't make it all day before it starts acting up again.
Please save me from wanting to smash this phone into many little pieces. I had enough of that kind of frustration with my Moment.
What phone are you talking about? Have you tried clearing all your Caches?

Well, a Photon, of course.
So I looked at /cache. In there is an empty directory called lost+found, and a directory call recovery that has a 135K file called last_log from October. Doesn't look like there's anything of interest here.
I have too many apps to go through one-by-one and hit Clear cache in settings, but I could try running a command in a terminal to do it. I guess this would do it, no?
Code:
for f in `ls /data/data`; do rm -r /data/data/$f/cache; done

That's a good tip. We'll see if keeping app caches clear makes a difference. I'm somewhat skeptical. Do you guys find that this actually helps?

When this happens, do you notice if your clock in the status bar gets stuck? This happens a few times a day for me. I have to end a few apps running in the background then my clock will catch up and my app will load. Definitely annoying.
I'm stock rooted.

Nope, no problem with my clock. Sounds like your Status Bar process is hanging up for some reason.
I'm stock rooted, too, btw. This behavior is making me consider trying out CM7, though. The only reason I haven't done it yet is because I don't really want to give up 4G. Not that I use it much, though. Sucks too much battery.
First of all. Thanks for all the efforts for getting root and gapps working. I have been able to do it and was pretty happy for awhile until one day, my Kindle became unresponsive, touch delayed, sometimes not working at all. I have to lock-unlock to get it working normal again, then, it starts to slow down again and delay touches. I was wondering if this is at all related to rooting? I wanted to see who else gets this.

Unlikely consequence of rooting unless you installed something that burrowed deep into you system. First steps are a virus scan (unlikely to find anything but easy to do and may provide additional clues) followed by a cleaner app / task manager to look for crud and autostarts. Might want to disable gapps (especially play services) to rule out a conflict. After that a some type of reset/restore but how that is best accomplished depends on what firmware you are on.
I assume you have a root manager such as SuperSU installed. Might want to check logs to see what you have recently permitted. Rooting doesn't cause the systoms you describe but does give you the ability screw yourself.
Since some days my tablet has been experiencing some slowdowns, and app lock ups. But no straightout freezes or reboots just yet.
Until today that is. My tablet starting to experience even greater slowdown, and apps really became unresponsive resulting in a reboot of the entire tablet.
Now this doesn't go away with each reboot, but sometimes it vanishes for a period of time. And If I look in advandes task manager sometimes the entire thing is EMPTY. which is weird because ther should always be apps in there. Or only 2 apps.
And the memory % still seems like a good amount of ram is in use..
So what im asking is what can you advice me to do?
Also im running a custom rom (i think?) can't remember. At the very least i rooted my tablet
How can i update to new Android OS rooted? Perhaps this will fix it.
Can I do this with a backup of my apps?
