Hi all!
I got an app called "App 2 SD Free" made by Sam Lu today. And it suggesting clearing my app cache (clear app cache, that what it says) and I am confused with what will it do. For example, will it clear my Facebook App sign in data? And is this app cache is Dalvik Cache?
Edit: Oh, guys it's too late. I accidentally cleared it And looks like no change.

Im also a user of that app. And i cleared it many times and nothing happened to me. Sign-in data's will not be cleared even if u clear the application cache and application data (checked for gmail, market).
Cache is a storage space for temporary files. And clearing cache will speed up the applications definitely. And that's also a way to free up memory.
Coming to dalvik cache,
Dalvik cache is a program cache area for the program dalvik. Dalvik is a java based virtual machine that is the bases for running your programs (the ones that have the .apk extension), in order to make access times faster (because there's not JIT compiler installed by default). The dalvik-cache is the result of dalvik doing a optimization of the running program. It's similar to the prefetch files in Windows.

Sorry for that. Like i said, i checked it with gmail and market only. Later i came to know that gmail once attached to the wildfire cannot be deleted. The only way to remove gmail is hard reset. And market uses gmail login data.
And im using stock 2.2 wildfire. And i checked facebook for htc sense and plurk. These login data's will also be not deleted by clearing cache/data. And maybe we cannot expect 3rd party apps to retain their login data even after clearing cache/data (example: XDA app).

hey
i just flashed a new rom to my phone (the 1.21 update) but before i did i backed up every app and all data using mybackup pro. before flashing i had 16mb free space.
after flashing and restoring everything, i now have 75mb free space. ive redownloaded all emails etc so i just dont see where this space has come from. Can anyone shed any light on it?
Probably most down to the Dalvik cache - as you start using your newly restored apps, the bytecode will be reoptimized and stored in the Dalvik cache.
Regards,
Dave
ah, so that space is going to dimish over time back to what it was then? lame, guess i might have to install app2sd after all
I recently updated my CM7 rom... I didn't checked the "erase dalvik cache" option...
So everything went fine... But now phone goes white everytime I open Gmail... I tried uninstalling it but then I can't download it from play store because when my PC it says that app is already installed. And I can't access play store from my phone since I need to sync my gmail account.
How to fix it... I mean maybe downloading the right Gmail app
And thanks for taking the time to read and help my problem

And here lies your problem, wiping dalvik cache is a crucial thing to be done when installing a new ROM or when updating your currently installed ROM.
ALWAYS WIPE BOTH CACHE AND DALVIK CACHE.
So, i've got two solutions for you.
1 - Uninstall Gmail app, clean Play Store's app data, reboot into recovery and wipe both cache AND dalvik cache.
If the solution above does not work, do this:
2 - Format everything (cache, data, boot and everything else) and reinstall your ROM. (this one is fail-proof, I mean, it WILL work but will erase EVERYTHING in your PHONE)

No i m using liks2sd and phones in build cache cleaner in settings, storage..and i m facing this problem from around 10 to 12 days. But when i reboot my phone.. All becomes okay.
This is because of the cache cleaner when cache cleaner cleans the cache it also wipes the cache of google play and google play services.......to fix this clean the cache without cleaning the cache for google play and google play services and reboot.....

If I remember correctly
Settings -> Applications -> Manage Applications - > All
Google Play Store -> Clear cache and force stop
Google Services Framework -> Clear Data and force stop
Reboot the phone.
How can it possible to clear cache of all things or apps except google play and google services.. Is there any particular app for it..

Okay. Thanks bro for your help

If i understand correctly you are constantly clearing the cache, but why?
Because if i dont clear cache, it occupies internal memory.. And hence xperia m has limited memory i.e 1.8 gb

Wipe Cache
This method requires that you can go into a recovery mode like Clockworkmod Recovery.
Reboot into recovery
Wipe cache partition
Go to Advanced >> Wipe Dalvik Cache
Now go back and Reboot system
Rerun Google Play Store and update or install your app.
fixes for error 491

Hi,
I individually cleared cache of apps like Google, Google Drive, Op community app, Yahoo, XDA and tons of other apps because as per disk usage they were talking up lots of space. Now all these apps are not working. I mean when I open them they just keep on loading. I am on the latest stock 5.1.7 update. What should I do? Can't format as due to the amount of data, can't backup because don't have access to a pc right now.
Thanks
