IIRC, this means android is making new dalvik cache for the apps or the one it has on the phone is old version.

This could indicate problem at \cache\

Try a file explorer. post screenshot of what you see.

Try resetting your dalvik-cache... Use a file explorer with root access or adb shell and delete the folder dalvik-cache found inside /data (or rm -r -f /data/dalvik-cache from adb shell). Right after that you should reboot your phone (after deleting that folder all apps will start FCing, it's ok). In the next reboot the "Android is upgrading" screen will show and will take some time since it'll regenerate the cache. This should fix your problem.

If even after resetting dalvik-cache the same thing keep occurring, then inside /system/app you may have an .odex file for an .apk that contains classes.dex inside (e.g. you have an .odex for an APK that already is deodexed). It's common to occur when using apps like Lucky Patcher to apply patches or apps like Titanium Backup that allow integrating dalvik cache of apps inside system partition...

If you updated without wiping data and cache it's very likely to be the cause of this problem, while you had root access one of those apps may have changed something in dalvik-cache and now that you don't have root access anymore Android keeps trying to "optimize" that app every time the phone boots...
