Cache/davlik - Droid RAZR M Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Is it safe to just randomly clear the cache and davlik every once on a while? I have a cache cleaner but I updated my gapps and my phone seems to be running differently now. Thinking it could be due to flashing the new zip. Any comments?

yup - no harm in wiping cache/dalvik. i try to do so at least once or twice a week.

Thanks. Appreciate the input!!

What does clearing the cache and dalvik do anyway?

It is kind of like defragmenting a computer. Gets rid of temporary files that are useless and helps the phone to run smoother.

I read a suggestion from someone on the CM7 Nightly thread that you need to clear your cache for bigger installs.

it seems to be happening on every gb firmware based off of cm7. haha a simply reboot fixes the problem.

Force close and functionallity problems, please help.

Two problems, android.process.media keeps force closing even after fix permissions. After fix permissions I lose functionality of my search and home keys. This happened on my razr as well. Any suggesions on how to restoore these buttons? I don't want to factory reset because obviously that will work. I'm running on a clean install of liquid smooth 3.0. R2D2 Droid 2

I believe "Wipe cache partition" should be in the main/initial menu of CWM. I have CWM on both my phone and my tablet, and thats where I see it. If you can't find it there, look for Cache, advanced or anything similar. Shouldn't be very big layout changes between versions.

Then wait. You can't expect an immediate answer, people have lives and don't just reload the page to answer questions.

What Gapps did you use? Have you tried wiping cache and dalvik? What date of pac are you using?
I don't remember what gapps, I'll have to look on my laptop, but the build date is 12/5

You should wipe dalvik and cache and see if that helps. Only use the gapps that is listed at the op of the thread you got the rom from. Also might as well try an update as well
