Cache disable

[Marios1441]

Is it a way to disable the cache creation for apps and system cache?
I have the following.

Samsung Galaxy Ace 3 S7275R.

Most apps would break if you managed to do that.

If your problem is space you can install apps which will clear app caches either manually or automatically.

Do you have a suggestion of an app? I prefer an app that will auto-clear cache
in an hour and minutes also. I'm using App Cache Cleaner Pro and i have set the app to start automatically on phone startup and to do this i was have to enable the app's icon on the notification area which i want to be hidden.

I haven't used one in over a year, and never used automation, so can't really recommend one. Hopefully someone else will come along with a suggestion.

I don't use cache cleaning apps, but Android has a built in method to clear the cache and you can do it with a few taps:
1. Go to your phones Settings
2. Tap Storage
3. Tap Cached Data
4. Tap OK to clear all apps cache.

ADDED: This app says it can "auto clear all cache and history at a specified interval" so it might work for you:

Nice one Kate, I missed that somehow. Recently for some unknown reason several apps started having problems with connectivity - blank screens in Chrome, "No connection" errors on Play Store, plus more - yet the network was working fine in other apps.

A reset fixed it but it kept coming back until by trial and error I eventually found that clearing the caches of the troublesome apps fixed it. I ended up doing this individually app by app but your tip will save much cursing if I need to do it again.

Nope there is no way that you can stop the cache creation ! And herein I'll say why you want to disable the cache ?? I am sure that cache creation is benefit for your own ! It helps you in loading the application faster.

Fixes the slowdown when you have to auto-stop lots of apps from starting up using an auto task killer and together with a cache cleaner regulary cleaning made me the perfect phone when the cache becomes very large. I have put the programs to kill apps and clear cache every hour and few minutes.
There is a one minute little annoying Touchwiz slowdown on phone startup which i haven't managed to make it dissappeared when you had installed a lot of apps though and when disabling with a auto task killer but after it goes away. This is not happenning without user apps. Why is this happenning? Is it a Touchwiz bug? What else left to do?

You really should not use Task Killers on Android. Seriously, please don't do it. You'll end up causing a lot more problems than you solved, guaranteed.

While this advice is entirely true and correct I suspect you're flogging a dead horse. Some people just get annoyed at all the "unnecessary" stuff that is "wasting" resources that could otherwise be free to do erm... actually, nothing useful.

"Free memory is wasted memory" - but you'll never convince people raised on Bill Gate's take on good memory management. Early Android versions certainly benefited from regular manual clean-ups (I'm thinking pre-3.0) but I haven't personally used a task killer since Froyo.

Footnote: since Bill Gates is no longer in charge even Windows is slowly getting its memory management act together. Long way to go yet though ;-)
