I m using an X.Mini on Mesa Kernel 1.4 and stock rooted ICS. :-)

I uninstalled Sony s crap,I restored my apps with Titanium Root,

rebooted,wiped dalvik cache but now I m getting the message that Android is upgrading and starting applications on every boot.

Plus it takes more than usual to complete each restart.

So,what should I do?

Maybe wipe cache partition?

There must be a solution! :-)

Wiping (dalvik) cache causes it to happen.

wow... dont know buddy!!!

if yhu delete TB odex, it wont work but try it & lets know....!
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] BlackArtsInc:
The odex delete didn't work.

The Titanium uninstallation/installation was what did the trick,though! :D

Hope I helped someone else too!

BTW,reboot took 65 sec in total.

[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] carlshark:
Me too, I don't quite understand what happened. It looks like your dalvik cache gets wiped every time you restart. However I don't think Titanium Backup has that behavior. Maybe you created a bug when you deleted some system apps? It's difficult to remove system apps since the install is odexed by default AFAIK.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] evilbarcode:
If you use Systemapp Remover (paid app) it will handle that for you.

@OP and anyone else, yes, if TB is messed up it can cause the wipe of dalvik cache on every reboot. No it is not a setting, but if you messed with an app with out deleting the odex then yes it can screw up things on you cache. But thats not because you deleted the app with out odex, it would mainly be the way TB handles that leftover odex. Most likely it just leaves it there.

Best thing to do is reinstall TB, if it happens again, boot to cwm, wipe cache and dalvik, then fix permissions. After first reboot, wait for system to settle then reboot once more just to check its not doing it. Then go into TB, just run it. Don't delete any apps, then reboot again, with TB running in the background and see if it happens again.

If it does then it is a problem with either that TB version, or with your .apk. so either download it again or try a different version. Or wait for an update.

Another possibility is the way your rom is handling TB removing apps. In which case you rom is messed or again its the TB version not working correctly for your fw.

Cheer, hope I helped,

Evil.

Dats ICS Feature.....
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] iPusak Gaoq™:
for me the best way possible to solved this problem is to disable TB from auto-backup your apps....also it will be more practical to fix permisson (using Rom Manager & etc) after you have restore a backup from TB....

while i do have TB on my phone, i prefer to use SystemApp Remover (paid apps) cause it is a simple apps for remove/backup your apps....
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] whalesplaho:
i dont use TB for aut0-backups... i only use it to remove apps & make backups!

so yhu mean after installing backups, one should install SystemApp Remover also right, how to use tha app?
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] pator5:
What's your Data partition FS ? It sounds like it something wrong with data partition...
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] motorazrv3:
I delete all my system apps with link2sd. It's free. So no need for a paid app.

You also can convert normal apps to system apps and vice versa.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] whalesplaho:
I know buddy... thanks! i use it also, i even use it to link my apps with my partition
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] Publiuss:
Install "live logcat" and see what happens at boot; plus, look at your logcat via adb when the system is updating to see what happens.

Are you sure to have enough data space to store dalvik caches?

When I install some mod, 'cause I've link2sd, I have no enough space to create all dalvik caches in one shot, so I have to link dalvik caches and reboot about three times to let the phone make and link caches.

Bye.

renaming TI odex --> reboot --> restore back the odex original file name; this method works too!!
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] ceut:
This problem happens to me too.

I have simply move ALL *.ODEX files from /data/app to my extSdCard then reboot: android optimizes again, then I put all *.ODEX files to /data/app, then reboot again and all is working fine!!!

No more "android is upgrading - starting apps" at every rebbot !! :highfive:

Same problem, but there are no *.ODEX files in /data/app on my device. All => *.APK files.

[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] andrasandhi:
nah, thats it.

check on init.d, see wipecache script or something like that.

ICS will 'cache' dex files to makes ur apps opening faster.

this happen too if u installing new app via recovery, bcoz system will cache ur app.

[Android Apps and Games] Ravrahn:
Jelly Battery is a pretty simple app. It's an ongoing status bar notification that updates every five minutes, and shows you the current battery level. There's two settings - one to activate the notification, the other for starting it on boot.

The notification uses the new-to-Jelly-Bean priorities system - most of the time, it's an opportunistic notification (that is, there's no icon in the status bar, and it appears at the bottom of the list), but it gets increasingly prioritised as the battery level decreases, starting at 30%. It's among the first apps to harness the new priorities capability, and the low priority makes it among the least annoying notifications.

You can grab Jelly Battery from the Play Store here.

[Android Apps and Games] gridironbear:
Anyway to get this working on 4.0.4?
[Android Apps and Games] Ravrahn:
Yes, I could make it work right back to 1.5 probably, but it wouldn't be as useful. The main point of this is that it uses the new priorities feature in Jelly Bean to hide away when it can, and come up to the top when it's urgent.
[Android Apps and Games] gridironbear:
That would be much appreciated.

Awesome post! Thanks

UPDATE: well, simply put there is nothing wrong with it. Works great, hasn't broken on me either.

Its great cause I'm on stock and I don't have any way to tell my battery life. I can easily check, and if it gets low, it shows an icon!

[Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)] LastCenturion:
So I receive my Telus S3 on release day, activated it, and had no problems (that I noticed, but I was connected to WiFi most of the time.)

Rooted it about a week later, and I can barely get service. Rather, I'll get a couple minutes of connectivity, then it'll disappear for 5-10 minutes. It's not a corrupted IMEI, like this thread is discussing. I've since flashed a stock Telus rom on the phone, and I still have the same problems.

We have low LTE availability in the area, so I thought that may be the problem, but the same thing happens with setting GSM or HSPA in the network settings.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)] cys920622:
Sounds like a pretty curious case... have you uncovered any causes / solutions yet? Also, before you flashed back to the stock Telus rom, what were you using?
[Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)] s2556:
I have a similar issue happening also on my rooted telus phone. I rooted it the day I got it so I cant confirm on how it was before. It is running a stock ROM/kernel. What happens to me is my service will drop from 3 or 4 bars to no service or will show 1 bar but be unable to get any service anyways. Im not in an LTE area but I am in a dc-hspa+ area. Is this what happens to you as well?

The only fix I've found is wait 5-10 min for it to come back.
[XPERIA X8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thetwistedx:
Hi, guys!

I am having a little problem with my X8. Some time ago I wanted to increase de RAM memory on my phone so I decided to use SWAP. I partitioned my SD Card (with "ext 4" option) and flashed a file called "x8EnableSwapPartition".

BUT... in adition of not having more RAM, I am also having problems with the phone's performance. It's getting slower and slower, even with a low number of apps, and I can't open some apps like Calculator, Google Play, etc...

And also another problem, the phone is constantly saying that I don't have internal space, in spite of the information in "storage" says that I have a lot of space.

Is there anyway to unflash this file and delete the SD Card partition? I tried to format the SD Card through windows and it didn't solved the problem.

Any help please?

Thanks in advance!
[XPERIA X8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RoberGalarga:
Use minitool partition wizard to delete the partition (much better if you have a SD card reader).

If you know where is the file that you flashed, simply detele it using a root file explorer. If not, perform a full wipe through the recovery (this is the best solution).
[XPERIA X8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] NIMBAH:
What I did was format the card in the settings menu of the rom. I then plugged it into my PC and it said the card needs to be formatted because its corrupted. Then the partition was gone :)
[XPERIA X8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RISHI RAJ:
Simple and best.Just format your sd card using recovery or pc.Then in ur phone press erase sd card.Thats it ur partition z gone.
