Is there any way to reduce slowness in galaxy A3 2016, even in simple tasks such as viewing emails on the stock ROM? I have tried wiping the cache partition and factory reset it multiple times, but after a few days starts lagging again. It takes over a minute to turn on and is much slower than when I first had it. I don't want to install a custom ROM or root the device. Is there any way to make it faster?
factory reset should be good, backup if you really neec
I factory reset it a few times before but would get slow after installing a few apps. When I try to wipe the cache partition I get an error - e/ failed to find misc partition. Is there a fix for this

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...
A few little things were acting up on my phone, so I decided to reflash and start anew. The only big hiccup is that my phone was encrypted.
Through TWRP, I have performed a Factory Reset, which was unsuccessful. I then went through Format Data to remove the encryption:
Format Data will wipe all of your apps, backups, pictures, videos, media, and removes encryption on internal storage. This cannot be undone. Press back to cancel. Type yes to continue.

This unfortunately did not do a thing, even after rebooting recovery before I flashed the rom. I am prompted for my encryption password during pre-boot. I've tried various backups that I still have (including the original from when I got my device); sometimes the password is accepted, other times I am prompted to continuously try again. When the password is accepted, I am stuck with a blank screen; after a few seconds, my phone vibrates once, then after a few seconds more, it vibrates multiple times, like when an app crashes. These restores do apply; the boot animations and Samsung logo change based on which backup I tried.
As long as I can get to a state where I can flash new roms and boot without the encryption prompt, I don't mind having to root again, losing internal data (which should've happened above), or having to reconfigure everything (that's half the fun).
adb and TWRP are still functional. I'm downloading the stock recovery and factory images to give them a try as well, though the download is crawling and it will be some time before I can test it.
Has anyone else successfully solved this?
Edit: Solved.Flashed all factory images, performed a factory reset, re-rooted, set up TWRP again, and got back to a current rom. For anyone else who runs into this in the future, I had to use the stock recovery, not CWM or TWRP, to successfully wipe my device.
Hey, I need some help with my Samsung Galaxy s4.
I rooted my phone for a week now and the last couple of days I noticed my phone is getting very warm. Only using Chrome and WhatsApp. It's insane hot when I charge it. So I was thinking to factory reset or hard reset my phone, but is it possible with a rooted phone? I never flashed a ROM and only downloaded some rooted apps like Greenify, Root booster etc.
Thank you in advance.
Robin.
Rooting your phone gives you access to the root of the file system, but is does not change any ordinary functionality of your phone. So you can perform a factory reset whether you are rooted or not. Also, I would be surprised if there is any connection between rooting the phone and overheating. It is more likely that the overheating is related to something you installed, either before or after rooting.
It is best to perform a factory reset from within recovery. Boot into stock 3e recovery and perform a "wipe data/factory reset." Before you do so, make backups of anything that you do not want to lose in the data partition, such as text messages, address book, call logs, etc. The data on your sdcard will not be affected.
Been working on this for a while now, but can't figure out how to get around it.
The phone is currently runing a custom 8.1.1 ROM and I have TWRP 3.2.0.0 installed.
I've done full wipes and factory resets, but the phone never seems to fully reset. I am fine with losing everything on the phone. I just want it 100% clean so I can sell it, which of course includes getting rid of the password on TWRP so the next user can mess around in there.
I have access to TWRP, the password is mine. But I can't seem to remove it, and every time I wipe and reset the phone it still asks me for my old device password with the owner message present as well.
I have also tried to format data, but it is unable to mount the data partition it seems, which I am guessing is due to encryption.
What's my fastest way to a reset and clean phone? I'm getting desperate here since I'm running out of time.
Edit: Through no change in process of my own, it suddenly completely reset. Now I'm more curious as to why.. Can anyone explain so I can avoid this issue in the future?
for me, the only way is to flash the full factory image from the Google site
First clear data and than flash software
This is a long shot but I have a rooted Galaxy S8 with LightRom on it (Android Pie). Today I wiped Cache + Dalvik cache using TWRP and when I restarted it it went through a short "optimizing apps" phase.
After it was done I unlocked my phone and found like 50% of my apps (random apps no specific category) just crash. If they have a loading animation, they go through that animation but then instantly crash.
Is there anything I can do without completely wiping it? i have a TWRP backup but I'm moving houses rn and don't want to take the hard way out for now. Please help
