Hi,
I've searched the forum and have been trying cache cleaners since there's less memory left after uninstalling an app compared to before its installation.
Does anyone know how android is working when it is installing / uninstalling apps / games?
If I install a game >> --- --- --- --- --- --- >> and then uninstall it, what is being left? Or isn't there anything left, except cache that can be cleaned?
How to properly uninstall an app / game to get rid of everything?
Best regards.
Depends on the program - it may leave some data on the SD Card, Dalvik-Cache.

Cache Cleaner NG works perfectly for Internal and SDcard.

I noticed my internal memory free space was decreased upon an unsuccessful market install.
Clearing Market cache is enough ?

Uninstall them, if they aren't in - Manage Applications, they aren't on your phone.
since they were not installed i cannot uninstall them obviously. i know they were kept in some kind of cache because the low internal memory icon was not present before trying to install the application. After the failed attempt the icon popped up.
Are you rooted? Try Cache Cleaner from the market.
not rooted unfortunately. thanks for the info.
Lag is typically a result of Android working really hard to do all the things you want at the same time. You may be right that an application may be hogging the CPU or even the RAM. Try to keep the number of applications/processes you do to a minimum (e.g load a web page, while sending an email, while opening contacts, etc.).
If you want to attempt to resolve the problem let's first assume that it's an application that's causing the problem.
Go to Settings (from Home Screen) --> about phone --> and check to see if any applications are on the list. If the application has a decent amount of battery usage from it (>5%) you may want to investigate the app further.
Then go to Applications (from settings) --> running services. This will let you know what apps have been stored in memory (RAM) and how much space they're taking up. When an application takes up more RAM then it should, it can cause our phone to work harder to get rid of apps not in use (this is how Android multi-tasks).
Ok let's assume this isn't an apps fault it may be time to clean your system cache. Have you ever noticed when you get a new computer, it's super fast, but as the years go on, your PC gets slower and slower. Sometimes things get stored in a cache which can slow down the system. To clear the cache on your android all you have to do is reset your phone to factory defaults. WARNING THIS WILL DELETE ALL OF YOUR APPLICATIONS you can of course re-download them, however it's not guaranteed that any of the information you have saved in the apps will persist. Anything saved on your SD card will remain unaffected.
Once you get everything downloaded and back to normal, you should notice your phone is pretty zippy again. However reseting your phone can be a pain and should only be done if you really can't pinpoint an application(s) that is responsible.

This is wrong my friend, you can clear cache from recovery and it does nothing to apps installed. No need to wipe phone.
Yep iv`e just cleared /system, /boot, cleared cache and Dalvik cache, flashed AIO 3.0.4 and all my apps are still there.
I do find stopping certain apps (which i rarely use) after boot does help a tad...
Install Custom ROM ipdate without full wipe?

No.
When you go from 2.x to 3.x you need to perform a full wipe. Just system cache and dalvik cache is not good enough.
You can, however, sync your phone with google, make a titanium backup, use the app backup/restore scripts from InsertCoin (search for them) before and after flashing the new ROM, in order to minimize the amount of setup you have to do afterwards.

I have run into problems updating apps on the market (such as GoLauncher..)
I am on DarkForest ROM RC2... I moved the Dalvik Cache to /Cache.
I get the errors:
"There is insufficient space on the device"
and
"The package file is invalid"
when trying to update apps.
I have tried using Root Explorer to delete everything from /data/dalvik-cache/ and /cache/dalvik-cache.
I have tried using Titanium backup to clean out the Dalvik Cache.
I have tried booting into recovery mode and wiping both Cache and Dalvik-Cache and battery stats.
I have a rooted, bootloader unlocked, R800i in the UK on Orange.
According to Titanium Backup Pro, my space is as follows:
System ROM: 130MB free
Internal: 172MB free
SD Card: 10.9GB Free
I have also tried using MarketFix, and wiping the Market and Market Updater, and Download Manager Caches, removing updates from Market and Market Updater (and this helped once, but I don't want to keep doing this!)
Can anybody please tell me why this happens?
It should be noted that within Root Explorer, cache/Dalvik-cache and data/dalvik-cache are practically full every time I check, even after reboots.
Edit:
I did something on Titanium Backup where I integrated updates of system apps into ROM, and now I can't remove my Market updates.. :/
After reading this, it appears this may have been a mistake.....
Ideas?

MOST likely reason is due to - I am on DarkForest ROM RC2... I moved the Dalvik Cache to /Cache. - moving the dalvik cache to cache on 2.3.4 is not good.
Was going to say can I reverse moving dalvik... but screw it..
I'm moving onto DarkForest RC3 tonight...

Hi there!
i'm facing a biggg problem in HTC Desire right now =(
my cell phone is showing low space while i have few apps in my cell phone. whenever i installed a new app it does't install. plz give me suggestions on it.
This is my first attempt to being helpful:
1. Try uninstalling some unnecessary apps from your phone (settings > manage applications > click an app > unistall)
2. Or move your apps onto your SD card (manage applications > click an app > move to SD)
3. Or clear the cache/data off your apps (manage applications > click an app > clear cache &/or data)

Make sure your memory card is atleast class 4 for better performance after you flashed the below rom
Good luck
