Help Phone started lagging all of a sudden

[Rewt]

Hey guys,
I have a Evo V 4G that I bought about a month ago. When I got it, I immediately rooted it and put on Harmonia. Since it's been running fine up until now, I don't think it has to do with that, so I'm posting it here instead of in the "Root" section.

Anyways, about 2 hours ago I was in the middle of writing a text and all of a sudden it would barely let me type. I had to hold down each letter for about a half second for it to register. Anyways, I exited the app to see if it was a problem with Go SMS Pro. It wasn't, the lag persisted back to the home screen and in other apps (all menus lag, apps are slow to open, transitions are slow and choppy). Anyways, I restarted my phone -- no difference. I installed a task manager-like app from Google Play, and the only thing it showed using > 3% was the app itself. I just tried turning it off and doing a battery pull, but to no avail.

Anyone else had this problem or have an idea how to diagnose or fix? The odd thing is I haven't installed or updated any apps in the past day nor have I changed any major settings or things of that nature. It just came out of nowhere and is persisting between restarts. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks

Sometimes they just need a good cache wiping. Go into your recovery and try wiping cache and dalvik cache and see if that speeds things up for you!

This same thing happens to stock phones too. especially after OTA updates and there is no way to clear the cache without a factory reset. Luckily for rooted users we can clear the cache!

Yeah oddly enough this happened to me a couple days ago. Ended up flashing a new rom and hasn't happened again.
