App cache cleaner

Been using it since I stopped using task killers. Works fine for me.

Unless you are using éclair or earlier versions of Android, task killers are at best a complete waste of time, at worst they are actually bad for your phone.

I know. Thats why I stopped using them :)

Explain...never used this before, nor have I used task killers either.

Somebody else can probably explain better but each application creates a cached file when you use it. Its the equivalent of temp internet files or cookies on a windows machine. The app cache cleaner deletes these files freeing up memory. When I had my OG EVO it was especially useful because I was always running out of memory.

The cache will just get recreated on boot.

I don't see how it would free up memory nor should you need to do that on phones today.

 

Dunno.. Maybe I don't understand the question.

Yes and no. The cache never goes away it just gets emptied out. When you reboot each app that reloads will start to insert data into its individual cache. As the user opens up and uses applications, those applications will insert data into there individual caches. Its easiest to equate them with cookies. Cookies don't go away until you clear them out. They automatically "reappear" as you surf the web.
