Could anyone please help me in finding this feature in the Android Oreo... I remember in nougat we had to go-to Settings-Storage-Clear Cache ... Easy as hell....
But in Oreo in all my searching it doesn't show up... I did try googling for if I am missing something.. but zilch (read that DP1 didn't have the option ) ...
So could anyone please guide in this... Or possibly provide a good solution for the same... Won't use CCleaner or SDmaid ...
Thanks for the help...
It's no longer an option, sorry. You'll have to either trust that Android knows what it's doing or install a third-party app.
Since there is no longer a cache partition, the only option is clearing the cache of each app individually under App info--> Storage.
You can clear cache by stock recovery
How please give me procedure

Hi, hoping somebody on here will be able to help me.
I'm having problems with the android market, basically i've had the x8 for a few months now using the stock rom. Decided to try out some of the custom roms on here so wanted to try them all before choosing.
Was really happy with racht's floyo.20 and dioxanh's rom's. Had no problem with the android market till a few days ago when i installed the latest dioxanh's vo17 rom. I logged in as usual but i only has a selection of around 20 free apps and no paid apps. The paid apps menu doesn't even show up. When i try to search for any specific app it says it can't locate it, even very common ones like facebook, opera etc.
I've tried logging in with different accounts, erasing information, rebooting, loading different roms and even re-installing the stock rom but still getting the same problem.
Is there some settings on the phone that i need to reset.
Did i try too many custom roms in too short a time or something silly like that.
Any help would be much appreciated as I would like to get the most from the x8 as I think its a great phone.
Thanks
Don't know if you have tried this, but wipe Dalvik Cache and Cache in xRecovery ------> Advanced tools-------> Wipe Dalvik Cache and Wipe Cache Partition
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?
Hello,
I have a big probleme with my nexus 4, I can't install any app anymore, I use to unistall and reinstall a game but yesterday I have been surprised when it say "not enough moemory" to install the same app I juste unistalled..
I searched on google but all solutions found were with people who installed "lucky patcher" but I did not installed it so I still can't install app.
My Nexus works with PA, the last version.
Someone can help me ?
Sorry for my english, I hope you can understand!
Allan
Are you with CWM recovery?
Try on recovery to delete unused back-up data or old nandroid back-up you still have on your device, however sounds very strange, got only once a similar issue with my Nexus S after installing black market, but after a restoring an old nandroid everything went fine
Just boot into recovery, wipe cache and dalvik cache. Hope this helps
Love U Guys ! Wipe data/cache worked !
Thanks a lot !
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:

Hi all, i've searched far and wide to resolve this but nothing seems to work that i've tried. I cannot sign in to add my google calendar to my phone. I'm able to do everything else: get email, get to playstore, etc. As far as I know i do not have 2 step verification setup. I'm on 4.4.2, rooted. When i try to add my existing google account to the calendar i get "couldn't sign in. There was a problem communicating with the Google servers. Try again later."
I dont want to have to do a factory reset if possible.
Thanks all!

Clear cache and dalvik cache, and delete data from the calendar app. If that doesn't work, uninstall the app, repeat the clearing procedure, then reinstall. It should work:fingers-crossed:
@ldeveraux thanks for the reply. I tried what I think is the process above but still no luck. Maybe I'm not following what you suggested correctly. I went into the data/dalvik cache directory and wiped it out, cleared the calendar data. But not quite sure what you mean by "clear cache" in the very first part of what you wrote. Can you maybe give me a step by step with a little more info? Thanks again.

You're rooted and have safestrap installed?
1) Go to App info on the calendar app and Clear Data
2) reboot to safastrap.
3) go to wipe menu, advanced wipe, then check ONLY Cache and Dalvik Cache
4) wipe these 2 ONLY, then reboot.
If that doesn't work, uninstall the calendar app, reboot, reinstall the app from the play store.
I have no clue if this will work, but it's worth a shot

Hi, Im rooted but dont have Safestrap installed. I guess I can add it back if it'll fix this problem. Do I absolutely need it?

Hello again, I added back Safestrap and followed the above and still the same results. I appreciate the effort. Any other ideas out there?? Also I can't uninstall the calendar app. I guess its the stock one that came with the phone. I can freeze or uninstall it with TB but i don't see it available on the play store.

I'm getting the feeling you didn't do this as I explained. You shouldn't delete the files or folders in a file explorer app. It should be done like I explained in SS.
And you can uninstall google Calendar with any uninstaller app or TB, either way. the new app to download is here, so yes it exists:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.google.android.calendar&hl=en
