OK gang, here's what just happened. I have a Verizon nexus running nitros eclipse build 12 with the radios that were just leaked flashed. I recently received the sprint extended battery bundle. I put the battery in, boot to recovery, wipe batt stats, cache and dalvik. I reboot and am greeted with a box saying android updating....optimizing apps. Nothing seems to have changed on my phone..can anyone tell me what happened?

This happens when you clear cache.
"android is updating" is essentially just caching your apps.

This is normal, and usually I believe is because of Zipalign or previously installed mods from recovery such as the radio.
Edit: in this instance wiping Cache and Dalvik gave you this message.

Yes, it'll do that every time you restart the phone

Yes. This is normal. This is where Android's optimization occurs (now with handy "Optimizing <x> of <y>" count to let you know what's happening) instead of prolonging the boot video. If it doesn't need to do that it just skips straight to launching the launcher, I guess...
Noted from observation, not from source code
My Galaxy Nexus only started doing this after both selecting "Encrypt Phone" and replacing my recovery image with Clockwork Mod Recovery 5.5.
It should not be happening on every boot unless you are a chronic flasher.
Mine phone did that on 4.0.1. On 4.0.2 that is gone

I got the "Android is Upgrading" when I zip-aligned all of the apks on my phone for the first time in GummyNex. So far it's only done it once, maybe twice in the last few weeks.
i only notice this after a dalvik/cache wipe. Atleast thats the only time it does this running 4.0.3 on my sgs fascinate.
Mine does this on every reboot, but I'm still on 4.0.1 where, based on earlier posts, that sounds more normal...
Only displays for a couple of seconds and nothing bad seems to happen as a result!
Mine started doing this after installing Google Wallet with that first crazy workaround. I hated it and restored my nandroid backup then used the apk that came out later and haven't seen that screen since. It definitely isn't normal to have it happen every time, except maybe in 4.0.1 I guess...
I just got this on 4.0.3 after wiping cache. Does anyone know what is actually doing. Rebuilding the cache?

Bump. My VzW GNex is doing this every boot. This has got to be fixable. Has anyone actually determined what is happening here? VzW Galaxy Nexus w/stock Android 4.0.2, rooted.

Fix what? Nothing is broken. The phone is making new app caches. That's it. There is no problem and there is no fix because nothing is broken.
its normal with my htc hd2 and nexushd2 v1.1 by tytung? =/

Me three, I saw it on every bootup until I got 4.0.2, now I never see it.
However, my phone's uptime is currently at 7days 38 mins and not lagging or otherwise needing a reboot/battery pull as older versions of Android seemed to need every two or three days. Yay ICS!
"Android is upgrading" appears when the system is generating ODEX files (optimized DEX). This essentially uncompresses "classes.dex" from the APKs, verifies them, optimizes them for the host (byte order, class prunning, ...) and writes them out in the dalvik-cache directory.
Dexopt should be performed when installing applications by the package installer though and it does it upon boot only when there's no corresponding ODEX file already. It also does it upon system upgrade, because the dalvik version likely changed and ODEX files need to be redone for the new VM.
This is a poor choice of words. "Android is optimizing applications" would be less confusing.
I've installed about 739MB of apps and flashed Google Wallet onto my Nexus, and every boot it goes through the processes of "Optimizing Applications" on each boot. I've heard this is the Nexus rebuilding the cache but why does it need to do it every time? Other ICS ROMs only report this on first boot or after wiping the Dalvik Cache. This happens only after I've flashed Google Wallet and a moderate helping of apps.
Is this just how it works?
No that shouldn't happen every time. Are you using a custom rom?
it happens to me. After update. And after unlocking bootloader. No custom rom.

I think I should roll back to yakjuxw, I was on stock yakju but with Google Wallet flashed on.

It's probably not liking Wallet. Am I right in thinking that it only really works on pauls custom rom?

Flashed Wallet and it does the optimization thing ever boot too.
Stock rom only rooted.
This happens to me every time i boot as well. It happened ever since i first got the phone. Before and after rooting. I have stock rom.
Removed wallet and now it boots much faster.

That's normal but not if its going through every app like mentioned in this thread.
Yeah a few seconds is fine, but mine was actually going through 40-60 apps, with a progress indicator (2 of 46)

My GN every time I boot says, Android is Upgrading, start applications, what do this means???
Im still on 4.0.1 ics..
Any advice please
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda premium
This is normal. Your phone is not updating its building app cache or something.
Search is your friend.
Question is though... Why is it always rebuilding?
Is it still completely stock from Day 1 of purchase?
Have you rooted it? If so, what method?
Have you installed any apps?
Have you tried doing a factory reset? (Ensure you back up your data)
The phone is purelly stock
I havent done nothing except using it and installing apps...the regular as an every day phone...i got since sunday
Should I factory reset?
Thanks
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda premium
And what do that means?
Does your GN does the same thing?
Thanks
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda premium
If a factory reset will I lose my photos and the musics and apk's i have on Download folder?
Any way to back up that?
Thanks

mine does it to. its normal
I can tell you its not normal for it to happen on every single boot! It's probably an app that is causing issues with the os. Try and remember what you recently installed and uninstall a couple apps to try and narrow it down. This happened to me when I installed Wallet.
mine has done it since i powered it on out of the box the very 1st time. so i'd say its normal
I wonder why its doing it then? If on my device it only does it when system files are being played with but on others on every boot?
Happens for me too, only noticed it since upgrading to 4.01 (stock)
I wiped my battery stats and turned the phone off, charged to 100%. Then I let it die, I charged it again at work and when I turned it on the screen was too dark to see. It almost looked like a negative version of it. I rebooted a few times and the Google image was fine and the boot image was fine. It ways just the screen. Anyone know what could have done this?

Just wondering if anyone can tell me whether its necessary to revert to dalvik before dirty flashing nightlies. I got stuck at boot when leaving ART enabled, so I've been switched to dalvik before flashing. Is this standard procedure? Its kind of a pain, didn't know if anyone was having luck leaving ART enabled. I'm running vanir btw. Thanks in advance.

I'm running vanir too. With ART enabled. The boot does take longer with ART. And after boot it will optimize apps which takes ages with ART. I'm flashing nightlys with ART enabled and no problems here. Just some patience friend

No problem here. It takes a bit longer than dalvik, but it's normal due to the difference between them.
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda app-developers app
Thanks a lot, that'll save me some time. I waited about 4 minutes which is how long it usually takes to originally enable ART and nothing was happening so I figured it was stuck. This was also many builds back. Thanks again guys.

Try a clean flash. I had that same issue. Then did a clean flash, switched to ART and everything was fine. Maybe let it boot for 15 minutes or so before doing this..
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using XDA Premium HD app
Flashed 1/31 nightly only wiping dalvik /cache with ART enabled and it started optimizing apps in 4 or 5 minutes. Just noticed 2/1 is up, hopefully I get the same results.
