I too, have the same issue....Android is Starting & Optimizing Apps on EVERY bootup.

If you find the path to those files (or folders), PLEASE post that. I'm tired of waiting for about 5 minutes at bootup before I can use my tablet.

---------- Post added at 11:06 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:00 PM ----------

It worked great before this update. Now it doesn't. /*sigh* Now I can't use my Logitech K400 when I have the tablet hooked up to my HDTV. No external mouse, no external keyboard.

Should be working, thats an odd one. May want to try a clean wipe.
[Shield Tablet General] Pariahnoble:
How's this for a clean flash...... Thinking of starting a thread for optimizing ota 3..... What you guys think?

First used a rooted explorer to clean all old files from it ever being used. Then used twrp to wipe, then flash, then used file manager in twrp to debloat the rom before I ever even booted. Everything else can be gotten from play store. Xposed and viper audio mods as well.
[Shield Tablet General] Mojar7070:
Wow!! Please please please, do a tutorial on how to debloat from twrp.... Or a link on a how to is cool too. Thanks.

[Shield Tablet General] TheCrowing:
Apparently clearing the update cache didn't fix my optimizing apps issue on startup. It worked the first reboot but it still does it. Anyone else have any other suggestions?
[Shield Tablet General] Ctrl_Alt_Del:
I like to run a stock rooted ROM on all of my devices. Nothing fancy, no custom ROMS, just stock root. If I wipe the device through TWRP, install 5.1 & SuperSU, that won't touch the custom recovery, right?

Just asking because I don't want to spend all day reinstalling the necessities. The laptop I used to initially install TWRP, install a newer OS & SuperSU isn't working all that great right now. It's 8 years old running Vista. My Google account will reinstall my apps (which there aren't many to begin with) so no sweat there to start fresh.

Please forgive me. I'm not a hard-core "custom-ROM installing just because I wanna try it" or "wiping & rooting genius" kind of person, just the average citizen looking to keep my Androids rooted because I love Titanium Backup & AdAway too much NOT to use them. Too many times when Google Play says there's an update to an app, the update breaks too many things & I use Titanium to restore the app back to the way it was.
[Shield Tablet General] Pariahnoble:
Your totally on it. Thats exactly how to do it. Just remember after you flash the ota, return to twrp home menu, click mount, uncheck, then recheck /system THEN FLASH SUPERSU! otherwiseit wont flash at all. It will say it does, but the factory flash for ota 3 unmounts /system when its done. This just saves you a step, if you just flash supersu after ota 3 then reboot there will be no root yet. You will have to reboot into twrp agian to flash supersu twice. Just a tip.

In a couple hours, ill post a tutorial on getting ota 3 perfect! Supersu, xposed, what all to wipe first and during to debloat 3 before it ever has a chance to boot.
[Shield Tablet General] Ctrl_Alt_Del:
Outstanding! Just as I thought.

Will be waiting for that! If that doesn't suit my taste, I'll go with the full wipe/reinstall as mentioned above then uninstall whatever I don't use, but keep backed up with Titanium...juuuust in case!
[Shield Tablet General] bzowk:
Hey Guys -

Is there any stable method to apply the OWA update to a rooted Shield? I have my tablet customized to the core and despite nightly Titanium backups (App Data - not actual App), getting it back to where I have it now would take a good 3 or so hours that I don't currently have. The only thing I want to ensure for any potential method is that it's stable. I've been burnt too many times where trying to take a shortcut that cost me in performance and issues resulting in a full reinstall anyways.

My Nvidia Shield Tablet Specs

- WiFi US Version

- 5.0 Lollipop

- Rooted with SuperSU

- 694mb of 11.61gb free on 16gb internal storage

- 16.73gb of 58.22gb free on 64gb MicroSD Card

Just thought I'd ask - Thanks!

[Shield Tablet General] Linuxslate:
Over on the NVidia Forums, a number of users are reporting both the USB OTG issue reported here, and a more serious sound issue.

The sound issue is allegedly physically damaging the Speakers.

https://forums.geforce.com/default/topic/834884/shield-tablet/speakers-damaged-after-3-0-update/

Post 28 from Josh@NVIDIA:

I got the OTA Friday Evening, and started the download Saturday Morning, but It was a busy Holiday Weekend for me, and I never installed the update when it completed. When I went to use my tablet Monday Evening, it was fully off. When It re-booted, it said there was a problem with the update. When I went to "System Updates", it now says my tablet is "up to date". I am still on 5.01, and my speakers are fine.

I am not sure what NVidia did, but it seems they were able to pull the update even after I downloaded it. I literally lucked out by seconds. If I had not been in such a hurry for an event on Saturday morning, I would have started the install.

If you have not installed Update 3.0 / Android 5.1, I would recommend that you do not.

If you have updated, and you notice loud popping from your speakers, heat in the speaker areas, or any other sound/speaker issues, fully power off the tablet, and either down-grade, or wait for an update from NVidia.

Another work-around may be to use external speakers, or earphones that you do not care too much about, and leave them continuously plugged in. Do not put the earphones in your ears.

Somebody should probably remove the links in the first post of this thread until we know more.
[Shield Tablet General] Pariahnoble:
Haven't seen it at all. Though I have viper4android. My shield sounds louder but yeah, others worrisome yet. Fingers crossed

Is there any indication whether it's one model or another? Like lte or wifi. Nvidia had made almost 2 different firmwares between the 2. Just curious..
[Shield Tablet General] tecnoworld:
Since when I updated, I find my shield with the display on, during charging. Is there some hidden setting? Is it just me?

Thx.
[Shield Tablet General] runandhide05:
There is a setting in the developer options for just that...
[Shield Tablet General] cycxda:
Sorry I,ve a Nvidia Shield Tablet 16GB wifi rooted qith android version 5.0.1, but I don't know how can I update to lollipo 5.1

First install a a custom recovery TWRP? (Please how I do?)

Then flash the Full rom for wifi variant with flashify app ?

At last reinstal SuperSu?

Thanks
[Shield Tablet General] cunha_rs:

[Shield Tablet General] The Divide:
I would strongly advise people not to install 5.1.

This updates causing my gf shield tablet to take around 3-5 mins to boot boot up with the android is starting, optimising app screen as mentioned by someone else in this thread. Wipe davik/cache doesnt fix the issue
[Shield Tablet General] thelangosta:
3-5 minutes isn't that long for boot time on android 5.1. I've had phones sit for 10 minutes while booting/optimizing apps.
[Shield Tablet General] Pariahnoble:
Earlier in this thread I posted a link to a tutorial I wrote that fixes the optimizing at boot and vastly increases performance. I currently have 149 apps/Games installed both internal and external (via folder mount), xposed framework, and viper4android installed, and get under 2:30 min on full reboot....

A 10 minute boot indicates one of 2 things, either you JUST FLASHED, ie first boot. Or android is having issues with the cache and is rebuilding things each boot....

Edit: I was able to hit the reboot button and post this edit in under 2 minutes
[Shield Tablet General] xcsdm:
SD Alternative?

Okay, moving apps from SD back to the device has solved the Optimizing error. I had missed moving a couple back.

Is there a root alternative that puts apps on the SD card differently that may workaround this issue?
[Shield Tablet General] Pariahnoble:
Yes there is, called folder mount. It will patch the system automagically for apps to write to sd, and can move any app to the SD card. I also made a tutorial how to get the most out of ota 3.0 including folder mount and other tips. http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=3118187
[Shield Tablet General] Prfndhatrdofman:
I'll second that. Folder Mount is such a wonderful tool. I used it a lot when i had the 16 GB model. Less with the 32GB. It really is great though, and very easy to use. ACTUALLY moves the app data to the memory card.
[Shield Tablet General] arrico21:
Anyone have an issue where after updating the tablet boots to just the background image and the system tray, then after a minute goes black and the back button appears? If left on, things start updating from the play store which shows in the tray. Basically the launcher isn't loading. It's very strange.

I've reapplied the update a few times and its not my first time flashing things. I really don't want to wipe if I don't have to, have all my music downloaded from play music and its a pain to get it all redownloaded.

Stock rooted 5.0.1
[Shield Tablet General] Pariahnoble:
[MENTION=5670185]arrico21[/MENTION] It's looking very much like a FULL WIPE, even more than a normal flash, is required for ota3.

The shield needs to be damn near completely untouched to get it working right. There's a link to a tutorial a few posts back to let ya know what all needs to go. But if there's anything at all from before, it looks to freak out ota 3. From apps optimizing every boot, to even home and recent keys not being there....
[Shield Tablet General] fards:
Not found that at all.

What it does need is no apps moved to external sdcard.

Turns out that was the cause of my art rebuilding on reboot issue
[Shield Tablet General] gqukyo:
Tried wiping cache as well as moving apps back to internal memory, still optimized during boot. I did notice that all the apps I had to move from sd were ones downloaded by Amazon app store
[Shield Tablet General] floks:
Is color correction working for you? I mean gamma, temeperature and so on... Profiles are working, but all other options have no effect for me.
[Shield Tablet General] ForeverZ3RO:
Have they began to push out the OTA update again? Still haven't gotten the update yet.
[Shield Tablet General] Crimson1988:
hi

official ota is suspended at the moment because a lot of people are reporting about damaged speakers after 3.0 ota. however many people including me does not experience any reported issues like damaged speakers, app optimizations on every reboot. I suspect some tablets has slightly different hardware which causes incompatibilities with current official firmware. if you notice sound loss or popping sound from speakers after ota 3.0 turn of your tablet immediately and try to revert if possible.

these issues (with speakers) are not yet officially confirmed as they does not seem to able to reproduce the bug. so its very suspicious.

if any one knows more on this matter please share

p.s.

I have very weird behaviour. if I flash the full rom using TWRP recovery, it does not boot, only works with cwm recovery for some reason :/ any ideas on that?
[Shield Tablet General] frenziedfemale:
You need yo have it set to sRGB Default and the language set to English to use these
[Shield Tablet General] gavin-phelan:
,so is there any fix for app optimization on every boot
[Shield Tablet General] runandhide05:
I have not seen it after removing all apps from SD card
[Shield Tablet General] JohnK71:
After I installed Ota 3.0 with twrp I lost audio and mic. I did everything possible to fit the issue. I finally gave up and went back to 2.2.1. Everything works great again. Makes no sense.
[Shield Tablet General] gavin-phelan:
yup can confirm moving apps back to internal storage fixs the optimization upon every boot .... hope to have a fix soon
[Shield Tablet General] Shidapu:
No idea why, but download links down? Noone else has posted anything about that.
[Shield Tablet General] NaminatoR1254jaime.sier:
Nvidia pulled the update.
[Shield Tablet General] Shidapu:
Okies, maybe some fault in them then. will have to wait. :)
[Shield Tablet General] Durhill:
The links with the full rom are down.... can anyone upload the rom or share a new link please?
[Shield Tablet General] Mahewa:
This is the 16GB Wi-Fi version. I don't have the others.

Well, I tried posting a link, but evidently I'm too new. The Bitly link ends in 1G60x8c. So just put bit.ly and a slash before that.
[Shield Tablet General] heatfire:
They pulled the update because of the bug that could burn out your internal speakers.

Hopefully they release a fix soon.

quote from nvidia forum:

"NOTE: We have temporarily disabled OTA 3.0 update while we investigate reports of loss off audio following the update."
[Shield Tablet General] Durhill:
ok I guess it's better to wait a little longer until the full rom is available again and working properly

thanks anyway
[Shield Tablet General] Pilz:
I accidentally flashed the WiFi version of 5.1 on my LTE version so I reverted back only to see they pulled the OTA ... My shield now had a weird lag in 2.2.1 (5.01) even after wiping the cache and doing a fresh install. I hope this gets fixed soon but until then I'll play DOOM 3 on my Shield TV.
[Shield Tablet General] WilliamVelez30:
Looks very interesting. Thanks.
[Shield Tablet General] Poke_N_PDA:
ok, it is now a month and a half later and I still have not received the OTA. I just pop in here from time to time and I am not up to date. Does anyone know the status? The release is listed on the official release page, but still nothing when I check for updates.

http://shield.nvidia.com/support/shield-tablet/release-notes/1
[Shield Tablet General] xcsdm:
I can tell you that you don't want the update as it is. You want the "next" update. It was targeted for end of June, now July. Who knows?

NVIDIA claims the update is in QA. I don't know how long that might take.

[Shield Tablet General] Pilz:
Let's hope Manauel is right this time... I still have 5.01 after downgrading from 5.1 and my tablet took a hit in terms of performance. I hope the update will fix the stuttering that I've had lately and finally not break things. I still love my Shield Tablet LTE and Shield TV Pro despite the minor issues.
