Update Tip: Clearing Cache partition

[ucancwhatic]

There's a way of ensuring you have a better experience with your device, especially after updates.  Clearing the cache partition helps prevent some bugs and glitches.  This is done from the bootloader at phone startup.  

Here's a link with instructions: https://youtu.be/cwoJu0L8k38

Turn your Android device off. Simultaneously

press and hold the Volume Down + Power buttons,

or whatever button combination you need to use

for your phone to boot into Recovery Mode. Use

the volume buttons to navigate the Recovery Mode

menu. Use the power button to select Wipe Cache

Partition.

Hope this helps.. Happy beta testing.

This helps. Not only you should always do this after a software update, but make it a habit of doing it at least once a month to keep your device optimized.

That's such an old screenshot! There is also a repair apps option that helps if you are experiencing crashes or lag. So I always wipe the cache partition, then when it's finished instead of selecting restart, select repair apps. It will optimize all the apps and will auto restart when it's finished

It's cool... The photo is to give an idea of what the menu looks like. Feel free to create a post with an updated photo or add one here. Thanks

Sure...here's what the menu looks like with the repair apps option

This is exactly what I was just about to post. Phone was weirdly stuttery after the update. Wiped cache partition and I think everything is much better now. One thing I wanted to add is that you need to give it time after to settle and start building up that cache again. Right after there's probably like a day worth of ultra short (<2 second) stutters the first time you power on and use things. However, almost every stutter goes away with 24 hours of doing this. I can also confirm (because I tried) that I DOES NOT get better on its own without this I ran for well over 24 hours without doing this to scratch a curiosity of mine. Can confirm, it does help to wipe the cache. It does not help to "wait it out" and not wipe. Thanks for putting this together @ucancwhatic!
