[Q] Manually delete cache pls help - Galaxy 3 General

Just a quick question: how can I delete my cache files from youtube for example using root explorer? Because i've low memory and when I watch many films, youtube force closes. And when I go to manage applications and click on youtube it keeps ' counting' all the time!

I do not know the root explorer way...
but settings--applications---manage app---click on all apps---click youtube---clear cache!
Hope this Helps!

Like i said it just keeps on 'counting' I cant delete the cache.
That's why I asked for the root explorer way

Please tell me were my cache files are stored and how I delete a view if them (and wich ones I can delete). I just tried to clear my cache witch a cache clear app and it sais there's no cache!

Do you have CWM on your phone? You can go into Recovery Mode and delete the cache there.

i dont hav cwm yet. soon ill install g3mod... but the problem is: i dont want to reboot my phone because if i do it takes a very long time for my phone to scan my apps on my sdcard. and sometimes it doesnt scan them at all! its very frustating...

When I issue the mount command in the Terminal-App I see among others this partition:
/dev/block/stl8 mounted on /cache
Perhaps this is what you are looking for?

A reboot solved it. It took about half an hour to scan my apps... (I really need to format my sd...) But it worked quite...

So... Clearing Dalvik Cache...

What does it do exactly? And is it safe to clear it once in a while to give the system a refresh?
-thanks
EDIT: NM.. read up some more and it seems to be safe to do so. MODs please delete...

Its ok to leave this here. People can learn from it.
I use root explorer to completely erase everything inside of /data/dalvik-cache
Its ok to delete every single file, they get rebuilt upon a reboot. I suggest rebooting immediately after cleaning the file dalvik-cache file.
It seemed to help actually....
I went into system/data and completely deleted the whole dalvic-cache folder and it worked beautifully. I would suggest this to all after you have finalized your MODs!

[Q] Cache/Data cannot mount or format in clockword recovery

Hi all,
I'm new to mods and all, but i think i messed something up using a terminal on my mac with my g3 connected.
I can install any mod i like, but they are always slow, i mean REAL SLOW! opening the task manager for instance takes a minute sometimes.
i think it has something to do with the cache partition on my phone? i once installed a rom that had an app where you could chose the kind of file system i wanted for system, data, cache, ... but i forgot the name of the rom, anyway it had something to do with data2sd etc... i had to enter some commands in a terminal etc.. damn this is hard to explain
anyway, is there a way to fix this problem, i get errors like
can't mount /dev/block/stl7 (file already there) and same for stl8
tnx all!

It seems like you have root access & afcource unlock bootloader
Use custom recovery mode ex. CWM to find that file exist or not using cwm file manager link below...
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1646108
Let me know if file exist or not.... This app is free and you have full access to file system
Good Luck
I installed aroma file manager and navigate to system folder but the folder is empty.

The /system folder is empty because you didn't mount it in recovery.
1. Unzip and copy this build.prop to your phone's internal memory - View attachment build.zip
(This is from I9082XXUBMK3, it will work with other 4.2.2 firmware too but would display the info of K3)
2. Boot into recovery. Go to Mounts and storage>Mount /system
3. Install aroma file manager.zip
4. Go to /sdcard and copy the build.prop file
5. Go back to /system and scroll down to check if you can see all the folders now (also check if build.prop is there)
6. If build.prop is not there then paste the one you just copied
7. Select the build.prop file, go to options and select Change Permission
8. Set the following permissions:
User - Read Write
Group - Read
Others - Read​9. Exit aroma and clear cache/dalvik then reboot.

I can't check what other system modifications you did that is making your phone misbehave.
Backup your data and try to do a clean flash. Wipe your data, cache, dalvik, then go to Mounts and storage and Format /system before flashing the firmware/ROM.

open phone settings
goto applications
mannage applications
select the all tab
you need to select the following apps and clear data and cache
google play services
google play store
google service framework
now with a file browser that can show hidden folders like root browser delete .android_secure from the root of your sd card (note the folder name starts with a dot)
go into cmw
wipe cache
wipe delvik cache
mount system (if on cm7 common kernel unmount system and mount it twice) data and cache
(if you get any errors in mounting anything you will have to flash stock rom via odin and start again)
flash the correct gapps for the android version you are on
restart
Best way reflash rom !

If all else fails, use Cache Fixer, though you have to move the cache on each reboot.

works in me

Help needed to remove Xposed from 5.0

Xposed for Samsung Lollipop is out. But I am having trouble installing apps since I installed xposed so I decided to remove it. I restored the system partitioned with a backup I've made before the installation but looks like xposed isn't removed. I still getting "Optimising app" at every start up and I cannot install apps from Play Store. Many of users that installed xposed reported these.
I even tried to wipe system (not data) and flashing the rom I'm using on it again but xposed is still there. (Stil getting "optimising apps" and error "-504" from play store. ) What can I do to totally remove xposed without wiping data or restoring data partition?

How about this?? thanks to @craigcrawford1988
Did you try this ?Simply boot into TWRP, and mount system, then Advanced -> File Manager then do the following:1.Go into /system/bin/ and delete app_process32 and app_process32_xposed
2.Rename app_process32_original to app_process32
3.Delete dex2oat and rename dex2oat.orig to dex2oat
4.Repeat the above step for oatdump and patchoat
5.Go up a directory and then into the lib directory
6.Delete libart.so and rename libart.so.orig to libart.so
7.Repeat the above step for libart-compiler.so, libart-disassembler.so and libsigchain.so
8.Delete libxposed_art.so
9.Go up a directory and delete xposed.prop
10.Go into framework directory and delete XposedBridge.jar
11.Reboot your device.

Tried that too but that was for the "normal" official xposed alpha. The way the devs set xposed on samsung touchwiz is different. We flash a different version of xposed framework.
Many of the original files you listed I don't find it (almost all). I think the only way to totally remove it is a full wipe
well good luck with your problem bud , i tried Sorry we could not determine the issue.... Long weekend !

I tried this but I still can't install apps larger than 1mb. Apps that are smaller than 1mb installed perfectly. I don't get fc BTW. I got error -504 from play store. I Googled about it and the error is due to lack of space in /cache partition. I checked the partitions and proved it. Only 800kb free in cache partition but play store needs to download apks to cache before installing. Even restoring titanium backups made during xposed is installed to a clean installed rom can cause that. So I did a clean install without any backups restored.
I tried clearing cache before, it's emptied when I cleared it, but it fills up when optimising app and I don't think I can skip optimising app after clearing cache.
Try formatting system, data, cache then restore system and after first boot, restore data
If didnt work (this is impossible) that means you did the backup after installing xposed
Goodluck

Yes I was lazy I backed up after installing the apk before flashing the zip. So that backup is somehow unusable. I already did a fresh install .
