OK guys I have a problem and I'm hoping that you could help me.
I rooted my S4 and installed stuff that I wanted, phone was in a great shape until I came across this post that was guiding a way to remove the custom sign when you turn on the phone once you have rooted the phone, so the procedure was to install SuperSU and install the new su binary coming with it, uninstalling previous SU and rebooting. the post was claiming that the sign would be gone and the regular "Samsung galaxy S4" would be shown instead. So I did all those and on the way coming up on the first time the message "android is upgrading" popped up, it's the first time so it's fine, but then it became annoying when it started showing up every single time after that, I took some procedures to fix it as follows:
I,
1. removed application "supersu".
2. went back to the previous SU.
3. wiped delvik and cache. (something amazing about this is that after the manual wiping the number of apps being upgraded is 193, while in its every time boot it only upgrades 120 of them (which is good I think don't have to wait for all 193 every time), but it goes back to 120 after the initial boot after wiping delvik).
4. uninstalled TB.
5. executed fixing permission.
6 reinstalled TB and restored all the apps.
7. re-rooted the phone with motochopper.
8. looked for odex files in /data/ app. (there were none).
couldn't think of anything else and that's where I stopped. I know that this message pops up everytime delvik cache is wiped but I can't figure what is causing it every time.
one more thing, I noticed is that the USB debugging option turns off after every restart, not sure if this is something normal or what, just thought this may be helpful in the diagnosing process. one more thing the post was correct about the old sign coming back though.
There might be an app clearing cache everytime like an optimization app or something. Mine used to when I set rom toolbox to do so

This exact same thing is happening to me, as of today. All I did was clear cache and dalvik, and all of a sudden this is now happening. Gone through all the steps to figure out why as you did, and nothing has worked.
Strange part...mine is also getting stuck with the 120 at each boot. When I do it manually, it's 236.
I ended up restoring my phone, I think that's your last resort as well. I hope you have a backup, otherwise you're in trouble!
1.install lucky patcher
2.go to toolbox tab
3.remove all odex files
No great change

My phone still does the Updating, just now instead of starting at 27 and going to 57, it starts at 1 and goes to 30

On my rooted 4.3 Sony Xperia SP:
I did the lucky patcher thingy twice (it reboots each time, first time the nag happened). Booted up nicely after that.
It will do this if dalvik cache is wiped...one of your apps may be doing this automatically

After flashing a few kernels yesterday, my phone started randomly FC'ing everywhere: Facebook would close when I clicked something, Gtalk after every other message, etc.
Flashing back didn't fix it and my last nandroid was months ago. I started clearing app data and that didn't do it either. In the past I booted to recovery and wiped cache & dalvik cache a few times and it made things better. This time the FC's kept coming and the best option looked like a factory wipe.
Instead, I found a solution that got me going again, cleared all my random FC's, and my phone is running smooth as new. Launcher Pro doesn't crash any more on startup like it did EVERY time, nothing has crashed all day. Here's what I did:
If you don't already have Amon_RA or TeamWin recovery installed, do that. Unrevoked/Revolutionary installs Clockwork/TeamWin but I prefer Amon_RA
Get Root Explorer or another app that can access /data and /cache with R/W permissions
Delete /data/dalvik-cache (delete, do not rename)
Delete /cache/dalvik-cache (delete, do not rename)
Shut down quickly, you won't be able to boot straight into recovery using Quick Boot because all apps will FC now
Hold volume down+power to get into the bootloader (white screen), then press volume down to get to Recovery and press power to select it
In recovery (black screen), wipe cache and dalvik-cache (I do it twice just in case)
Reboot as normal and let the phone get situated after it's done booting. It will take a while (my boot was about 5 minutes, then another 10 before all my apps showed up and it stopped being choppy)
Post back here and report results!
You have to do both the file manager delete and recovery wipe for this to work.
Doing it also had the additional benefit of freeing up a bunch of space (20mb+ for me). I was expecting some apps to be choppy on first load while rebuilding their caches but they were not. No app preferences were lost.
The reason I said delete, do not rename, is that renaming will get your device to 0mb quickly, apps won't be able to rebuild their caches, and previously working apps will keep FC'ing until you do it the right way. I made this mistake.
Please post back and report if this worked for you!
nice! glad you found out a fix because this has happened to me about 3 times in the past month or so. but the only problem i see is that when ever i try to open apps when they are fc'ing left and right is that they fc as soon as i click them. so root explorer wouldn't work for me haha. but glad it worked for you.

Mine crashed too but only after I deleted the folders. I was lucky enough to at least be able to open most apps but they would crash right after.
An alternative that should work in that case would be to download another app that can access /data and /cache with R/W since it won't have any cache at all. Unfortunately uninstalling the app does not delete its cache from those folders so it has to be a new app.
Both ES File Explorer and SU File Manager should work in that case.
Let me know if you get a chance to try it!
I have got this issue since I wiped the dalvik cache on Android 4.2.2 to fix a Play Store issue which I should of deleted that dalvik cache file with Titanium Backup or use Lucky Patcher to remove that left over file in /data/app/ but also wiping the cache somehow broke the APN API not allowing me to add the wiped APNs and such.
Since then I had to reflash EVERYTHING using the Nexus Stock Image flasher from Google Developers, since then I had no issues until a recent Android 4.3 update which caused the dalvik cache issue to arise since it wiped the dalvik cache.
I also do not have root because of the update but the su binary and SuperSU is still there so I cannot fix the issues manually.
When I come back on holiday I will root the device to see if I can fix the issue
but if that does not help then I can use the root to backup ALL the user apps, backup ALL the internal SD contents and reflash also rooting it.
Because I paid for the TB licence I can just restore my stuff in a touch of a "button".
I have removed apps which I don't use and the ones which I suspect is causing the issue but that does not help.
It seems that wiping the cache partition now does not break anything.
The dialog box says in the title "Android is upgrading..." and it says below "Starting apps..." and then gets off in a second.
I have seen forums of people having this strange issue but there are no replies.
I am getting back from holiday on the 31/8/13.
I really want this haunting issue to stop so please help so others can fix this issue without going though annoyance caused by this issue.

that android is upgrading dialog box is the dalvik getting rebuilt, it get rebuilt after you wipe it, it is SUPPOSED to happen when you wipe your dalvik. it isnt an issue. if not, you wouldnt have a bootable or usable phone. the real issue here is you using lucky patcher. we all know what it is used for, and is disrespectable to the developers that hang out on xda.

I only use Lucky Patcher for important stuff and not really for what you think so that is NOT the issue what so ever and misleading to this thread and plus, other people use it.
I mean that in EVERY boot it says that it is starting apps, nothing to do with building at all.

Late reply, but Lucky Patcher did this to my phone just now and I don't know what to do, other than reflash. Which sucks because I spent all night modding out my phone and was stupid enough to not to a nandoid backup.
Edit: The first boot it upgraded everything then everything force closed, 2nd boot everything upgraded, but seems to be working fine. Woo. Was scared for a moment.

Well you was LUCKY (pun alert!).
Anyway it seems that the stock rom was always the issue, even reflashing does not fix this issue when you wipe the dalvik cache.
I am on ParanoidAndroid 3.98 at the moment and I am not getting any issues just by wiping the dalvik cache and/or the cache partition.

I have found fix for this error, it is mainly due to odex files which are created by lucky patcher so deleting these files using lucky patcher itself will surely remove this error with 50 percent success rate. Here's the fix; open lucky patcher, there in lower left section you can see Toolbox, click that Toolbox then select 4th last option i.e Remove all odex files.Thats it android will reboot on itself and vola no android is upgrading. .
Check out attached image for help.
:good:Hits Thanks If I helped u:good:

I just removed the odex files and worked great. Thank you.
Hey Guys, anyoen have any clues on this?
All I did was swap out my boot animations.
On every boot the "Android is upgrading - Starting apps" popup
Boot time has not changed as my startup manager shows a consistant 34-40sec boot,
I even extracted the original image and reinstalled all the original boot anims.
Uninstalled xposed framework, Wanam,
uninstall titanium,
cleared cache via recovery..
Any ideas? Its annoying.
Thanks!

You're getting that message because its rebuilding your cache on boot.. when you clear it in recovery, that's normal behavior.
Getting it every single boot, now, that sounds like there is a problem.. I would check for something clearing the cache besides you doing it manually (unless you are doing this every time you get that message on boot), worst case scenario flashing the stock odin file in General should clear it up
Did you fix permissions and ownership on the new boot ani? Use Jrummys root browser and check both of those.

Finally figured it out!
What a pita. Reflashed via Odin and started
Installing all my stuff.
The app that caused this out of all the system app mods I have running was the transparent accuweather widget nodded apk. I forgot to Delete the corresponding odex when i installed it. DUH!! all Self inflicted.
All good to go now.
Thanks guys.

Thank you very much. I was having the same problem ever since I installed LG G2 keyboard on my G Pro F240L running G2V5. It was just a 3 second message at start but still bugged me.
I deleted the odex files now for the keyboard and its theme files. Rebooted about 5 times to check. Keyboard still works, startup upgrade message is gone. Didn't have to reflash ROM or clear any cache. Great solution.

Hyperdrive It does that it is normal but does not actually go through the apks.
Hi all,
I think I might have a problem, after I flashed xposed framework on my nexus 6p and got the modules that I wanted up and running no problem, during 4 or 5 days all worked fine but had constant reboots,
I decided to go back before I flashed xposed with twrp and restored a full backup, it failed to restore all selected at the same time, so did one a time and restored but phone would just not boot, so
Having data partition restored and then dirty flash stock without wipe data I was able to get my phone back and running, and re-root fine and flashed twrp no problems
Went to twrp to wipe cashe and dalvik but it just takes like 2 seconds optimizing apps and boots to desktop right up, now my question is
Shouldn't it take a very long time to optimize all my apps after the wipe????
all seems to be working fine but kind of bothers me that I might have something in not working right that might develop into something worst in the future
It is at this point I usually full-wipe and reflash. =) Setting things up again can suck, but it's better than wondering what unknown thing is broken and will rear it's ugly head later.

full wipe and reflash, want to avoid that, any other commands perhaps?
OK so I did a full re flash, back to stock, re root, installed my apps, used for a while, log in on all, went to twrp to test wipe cache and dalvik, same thing, optimizing apps at first boot took like one second and boot to desktop, is this normal or should take longer to optimize all apps?? Anyone??
is my understanding that only apps that havent already been optimized will upon boot... (new installs from like a zip)

thats what i am thinking too now that you mention it, like when I installed xposed initially and did whipe cache/dalvik thing after it took long time to boot because was on something like optimizing app 3 out 78, same thing I have seen on my old nexus 5 when dirty flash a new firmware, but not sure if I have something broken or is normal
Hey,
The last time I updated Cataclysm I had some issues and needed to restore from a backup. Everything went fine afterwards and the phone is behaving normally as far as I can tell. But I am getting the "Starting apps" dialog on every boot. Is this normal?
I tried clearing cache and dalvik but, not only didn't it fix it, that "Upgrading apps" dialog that goes over all your apps on the first boot did not show. Shouldn't it show every time you clear the dalvik cache?
Thanks
It's normal.
Thanks. So the Starting apps dialog is normal. But shouldn't it optimize my apps every time I cleared the dalvik cache?

No not necessarily. If you have not changed or flashed anything.
Really thought that should happen. Oh well, glad everything is fine. Thanks!
I just got a Nexus 5 this past Wednesday and it has 6.0.1 on it, I did a Factory reset after the 6.0.1 ROM flash, On the first reboot it did "Starting apps" at boot for 2 seconds, Messed with stuff for a bit then rebooted didnt see the stating apps again, But after a day and a half I rebooted and saw the Starting apps at boot it lasted for about 5 seconds, So I rebooted just now to see if it would say it again but it didnt it booted right up without saying it.
It's weird im not sure why it does this, My Moto G 3rd Gen did this same bahavior when it was on Lollipop 5.1.1 but with that one it said "Optimizing Boot", Its like the longer you let it sit in between reboots it will do it, everything seems to work fine still but its very strange.
I just found it weird because I don't remember it happening before I restored a Nandroid. And it didn't happen on my Nexus 5 on 5.1.1. Well, truth is, everything is running fine so I won't worry too much.
Thanks for sharing your experience
Yeah same here
