I started getting this android is starting....optimizing apps 1 of 1. after reading this thread, i found the problem to be zedge. i've used this app for about 6 years, then a recent forced update started causing the error, making my phone take about 15 minutes to boot. i uninstalled zedge and got rid of the problem.. Optimizing app 1 of 1" similar to after a regular ota, but i have about 100 apps usually. it will show that for about 3-5 minutes, heavily deplete battery and then function as normal and complete boot.. "android is upgrading, and afterwards it came optimizing application 1 of 158", later came as starting apps then tecno will come and the upgrading starts again for more than 24 hours. i need a solution to stop it and have access to the phone. i cant do anything with the phone so please give me the right solution.
Android 5.1 random restarts and optimize app showing 1-1031 of 1031 messages. can you please clarify what you mean when you wrote "optimize the apps after restart"? re: android 5.1 random restarts and optimize app: android 5.1.1 is starting to roll out. it will go ota to the google play devices first but the images are. It goes through the motorola loading screen with the stitching animation but whe my lock screen should appear a white pop up appears infront of a black screen saying, "android is starting: optimising app 1 of 1" where it gets stuck.. I just had the same exact issue on the same exact phone. after doing some digging it seems like this happens when android has a problem optimizing one or more apps, so it stubbornly retries all of them. so i uninstalled apps one-by-one and rebooted, and the problem went away after uninstalling supersu..
