Nexus 7 keeps saying "android upgrading apps" on every reboot

Just upgrade my 16g Nexus 7 to CM10.1 M2. After restart everything is fine but the device keeps on showing "upgrading" on every bounce as if the dalvik cache is getting cleared.
It only takes a few seconds but am noticing that SU shows messages about apps granted root...
Also I noticed my background will from time to time reset to default and my notification icons in status bar don't always show.
Tried to uninstall ti backup, wipe the cache again to no avail.
Upgraded to the latest nightly... Still no luck.
Trying to avoid having to do a full wipe. Any ideas?

Wipe and reflash.
Whenever flashers have odd things happen, it is a common mindset to wipe and reflash. Just be sure you wipe system and factory reset before flashing.

Just seems to be just so much work for what this actually do... Device otherwise works fine.
Trying a different supersu package... Will probably give it a few more days before doing anything since its just so minor...

[Solved] nexus 7 random reboot

So I've had an oddity happen out of nowhere. My N7 running stock 4.2.2, TWRP recovery, rooted and unlocked bootloader has been randomly rebooting itself since last night. At first when it happened, I was watching a movie through MX player app. The video started stuttering and then froze. I then tapped the home button so that I could clear the app and relaunch, and it then rebooted. I then tried to watch my movie with the archos app, same thing happened and it rebooted. Today it rebooted a total of 4 times, of those 4, it was just laying untouched, or while I was doing a backup with Titanium Backup. I've done a factory reset and cleared both cache & dalvik, and still the issue persists. Another odd thing is after the factory reset, it tried to update my G+ app, and told me that the app isn't compatible with my device. Would a complete reflashing of stock through ADB fix it, or am I looking at a hardware issue. Just to note, the device has been running excellent since last night. Any advice/help would be appreciated. Thx in advance for the help!
Update: so I reflashed the ROM and went back to factory and wiped everything, and had one reboot, which happened when I launched the new G+ app, and nothing since then. I even watched my movie and a couple tv shows. I'm not sure what was causing it, but if anyone can chime in, it would be helpful. Oh and how long after a reboot is the last_kmsg file valid? I read that it should contain info on what caused the random reboots.

[Q] Android is upgrading after every boot

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

Simple as that! Just had to boot a couple of times. Excellent!

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

wipe cashe and dalvik

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

Annoying "Android is Upgrading..." on bootup - how to fix this?

Can't get phone to stop doing this (even though intermittent). I tried wiping Davlik cache with Flashfire but no good. Als o notice that phone gets pretty hot (hot enough to trigger warning cool down alert) across the top third surface area of the phone when it goes through this process.
Help??

Deleting caches does that. And, while in the process of "upgrading" (which basically means it rebuilds the caches), the phone does intensive processing. Which is why it gets hot.

and how do I delete the caches?

You misunderstand. You don't delete the caches, as that causes the problem. That said, I forget because my Nexus 6 doesn't do this, but is it normal to see an "Android is upgrading..." prompt on every boot, especially with no apps to optimize?

Not on every boot. Unless he has some tweak that clears caches automatically.

I don't have that tweak. I just went into stock recovery and did a cache partition wipe. Still optimizing on bootup

Well a fix from Google Play only mucked things up further. Did a factory reset but now I can't get past the Setup Wizard which terminates after it cannot get past "Backup Assistant PLus" because it cannot find cloud storage. I select "skip" and is says "unfortunately setup wizard has stopped" the screen goes black.
So I guess I'm stuck having to Odin back in and use stock ROM. One question - would it be preferred to use the PL1 build vs the OF1 build that was previously on it?? Can I even do this or do I have to stick with OF1?
