[Q] any solution for boot "updating apps" on ics?

[hexen88]

Everytime I boot my Sensation (ICS OTA from Elevate) I got info, that my phone is "updating" apps... IDK why - after OTA I've restored to manufactured settings/wiped, for better smooth, and installed ALL APPS, and CONFIGURED from ZERO. It shouldn't update anything, or if should - once, not every boot...

any solution?

It's the dalvik cache refreshing but it should only do it after an update to the system. My Nexus doesn't do it

It sounds Ike the dalvik cache is rebuilding at each boot. Does it run normally after each boot?

Yes, everything is normal after boot. But... normal boot isn't fast, and now... with updating it's slower than just "slow" ;(

Maybe turn off the fast boot feature? I guess it's possible it might be precluding Dalvik from updating correctly.

Did anyone manage to find a solution to this problem? It's not hugely annoying, but it definitely should not be doing that.
I contacted HTC and they (naturally) suggested a factory reset. However, given that I had to flash 1.73.401.4 from an RUU to update (was stuck on an older version, for some reason), I'm rather hesitant to do another reset only to have the same problem. And given that I updated a completely new installation, it would seem somewhat unlikely that a factory reset would solve this.

Have you guys tried remounting /data, or checking and fixing permissions for that folder?
Dalvik cache is stored at /data/dalvikcache. Problem could be due inability for this to be read at boot?
Have you used any app or script that would direct the dalvik cache elsewhere, such as app2sd, data2sd etc? If so, disable/delete...

Thanks for the suggestions. Right now I am running stock everything, and it sounds like this would require rooting. Is that correct? Sorry for the stupid question, but I am rather new to that particular dimension of Android.

Yes root needed for that unfortunately. They have recommended factory reset because it will wipe /data.

Well, I decided to take the plunge and do a factory reset. As I suspected, HTC's reply was nothing more than a boilerplate copy-paste reply. Factory reset does not help in any way. I think this is simply a bug in HTC's ICS update (and not the only one, by the sound of things). If they'll admit it, now that's another matter...
