Cache Clearing with Every Reboot?!

Well, you know when you clear your cache and Dalvik cache and it takes a while for all your icons to come up? Well, I noticed that it has been doing this every time I reboot my phone now. Where before it would only do it when I would boot into recovery and cleared those caches. Any reason for this?!
Thanks in advance...
PS - My setup is as listed in my sig below.

Any time I've ever had lag like that when the phone was booting up, was if either it was immediately syncing things when it boots up, or if i hadn't wiped dalvik and cache in a while. Usually wiping the cache's would solve the issue. Also do a battery pull. If that doesn't help, maybe change the kernel. How does the phone run otherwise, once it's all booted up? Maybe you just have a ton of apps that are all starting up when the phone is booting up, I'm not sure.

[Q] Dalvik Cache doesn't exist

I was flashing CM9 from CM7 on my Motorola Defy, botched it up intially due to a slip of my finger which led to me to Clear the cache first. But then I restarted the entire process by Clearing Data -> Installing -> Flashing Kernel and so on...
But when I tried to clear the Dalvik Cache, the phone didn't delete it. It didn't give me a message that it wiped the cache, but it didn't say otherwise either. This led me to believe that the cache just didn't exist anymore.
As a result, I'm unable to install apps - Says there is no memory and I need to make more. Also, everytime the phone comes on is treated as the first time. It takes me through the whole process of Setting up an account and everything. This has rendered my phone obsolete.
Please help me!
Thanks in advance.

EDIT: Solved, just flashed the stock SBF. But is that the only solution?

"Android is upgrading" on startup

Hi guys, I noticed recently my nexus was getting a few force closes so I cleared the cache and all seems good apart from I'm getting "android is upgrading" when I boot. I've tried erasing davlik cache and fixing permissions but nothing
Thanks guys

That pops up WHEN you clear cache and delvik cache as it has to rebuild it do two reboots and it should be gone :good:

[Q] [SOLVED] Can't clear Instagram cache

I'm unable to fully clear my Instagram cache. Uninstalling and reinstalling hasn't helped. Nor have any cache cleaner apps. Instagram force closes a few seconds after launching. I'm pretty sure this cache issue is the reason for the FCs. I've even restored my ROM to a point before Instagram went wonky. Didn't help. No matter what I try, this 23mb remains. Completely stumped.

I "fixed" it by wiping my entire internal storage. Google+ Auto Backup FTW!

[Q] Notification Pull Down not working after 4.3 OTA

A friend of mine just updated her Nexus 4 to 4.3 via OTA. Since the update several background apps kept crashing repeatedly, but she uninstalled them before I could get her to check what the exception message was. After removing the apps everything seems to be working except the Notification Pull Down. Notification Icons correctly display in the Status Bar, but you can't actually open the Notifications. Try as you might it just refuses to open. The phone has been rebooted several times to no avail.
I've searched several threads but haven't found anything even remotely similar to this. Anyone have any ideas?
I'm not sure what App affects notifications to even try clearing data on. I've thought about removing her google account cpmpletely and readding it, but I'm helping her over text, so trying to keep the complicated solutions for when we've tried everything else.
Any suggestions or ideas would be very greatly appreciated!

Has she wiped dalvik cache? I think that not wiping dalvik can cause apps to crash.
Try to reflash the ROM and wipe cache & dalvik, and do a factory reset and optionally wipe /system partition.

The phone is completely stock, non-rooted, locked bootloader, running stock 4.3 OTA.
I'm trying to find GUI solution that doesn't involve installing a custom recovery. Thanks for the idea though.

Doing a factory reset seems like the only logical thing to try, in case you don't want to unlock your bootloader and install a custom recovery. Beware, you will lose your apps and their data.
You can try to reflash the ROM again, but I don't know what's the procedure with the stock software. If you can just apply update from .zip, than you should be able to do that from the stock recovery. I never had any OTA update so I can't help you further unfortunately.
