For my own edification(forgive my ignorance here)...
Can the cache/data partitions get crufty when you install and subsequently uninstall some programs?
Is the 'cleanliness' of the uninstall based on the app developer or the droid OS ?
I've had my droidx on 2.2 for a few weeks now. I installed many apps and removed many. Tweaked a bunch of settings to get it dialed in. Yesterday, it seemed things were running a bit sluggishly. Power cycling didn't seem to help. Tried shutting down services manually and the CPU would still not idle as much as it did a few days before. Knowing my contacts were backedup on Google and my apps list as well, I did a hard reset via (power/home powerup). I reinstalled only the apps I primarily used. My droid is running well again. No random CPU spikes.
I'm learning about the way this OS works but I'm no expert. Did find a page that shed light on the partitions to understand what gets wiped.
I was amped that getting back to a good point with the user options / installed apps took roughly an hour or so(with watching TV in the background).
Thanks!
