I see in developer options you can choose art. I thought art was faster but delvic is default. If art is better why is delvic an option or even on there.
Dalvic is more compatible. Give ART a try and see if your apps work Okay.

I have used Root Manager to remove some of the stock apps on the HTC Hero. (facebook, stocks, footprints etc)
When i go to applications I am now getting these showing up after reboot.
-.com.facebook.katana
-.com.amazon.mp3
-.htc.android.footprints
- etc.......
If I click on any, it gives a force close.
I removed both the adk, and odex files...Which would be from /system/app/...
Do I need to remove the data folders? /data/data/ folders? (.data/data/com.facebook.katana)

I am assuming that you have Recovery on your phone, boot into the recovery and that should have options that will help you do that...

Eh ? I never encountered this...
Which ROM are you using ?
Restart your phone after un-installing an app and check the space again.

When you install an app in user application space and android run it a file is wrote in dalvik cache. If you uninstall the app unfortunately this not remove the spam in dalvik cache.
If you have a rooted phone you can simply clean the dalvik cache and you gain the lost space. I use CWM for that, but there are also good tools like System Tune Pro which have a menu for "clear data cache" and "clear dalvik cache".

Or use an explorer (e.g. file explorer or root explorer) to go to Dalvik cache & delete folders specific to apps you've uninstalled. I've done that a few times before (hardly ever anymore). Dalvik cache exists for a reason. Don't just go around messing with it!

Well, unless you're upgrading ROMs, having boot-up/ROM-crash issues, random unusual FCs and a few other special situations, there's really no need for wiping the Dalvik cache. As far as I know.
I wrote an app for this specific purpose, its called "SD Maid".
The link is in my signature.
Sadly though, the only way to deal with randomly named directory on /mnt/sdcard/ is to delete them manually.
Hello! On KitKat, I have uninstalled Xposed but it appears I can not switch from Dalvik to Art after uninstallation. What can I do? Thanks, Jan, [email protected]

Either reflash your ROM or stay with dalvik (which is the default runtime for KitKat, ART on KitKat was more or less some kind of alpha program).
Actually, there was a solution. In /system/bin, there was a file (most probably from XPOSED called app_process. I think this file caused reverting to Dalvik from ART. There was also file app_process.orig, supposedly from era before XPOSED. So I renamed app_process to something and then renamed app_process.orig to app_process. Then I was able to switch to ART. On my tablet, ART runs absolutely flawlessly.
At night, the phone's screen will turn on when it receives a notification, then never turn off. It also doesn't always show the black and white "ambient display" notification screen all of the time. Texts and emails will still show the regular one that I'm used to with other phones. Is there any way to make it work properly?
Try to wipe cache only, in recovery if necessary. Worked for some.

How do I do that?
Does anyone know how to wipe the cache like the guy above suggested?

Are those instructions only for the OP3? I'm using an OP3T and they don't work for me. I don't see any option to wipe cache partition.
EDIT: I went into recovery mode and wiped the cache. I hope this works.
Go to settings then apps then find your app. Click storage and you will see the option to wipe cache.

I don't know which app could be causing this, so I just went into recovery mode and wiped the phone's entire cache that way. I'm hoping this solves it because I REALLY don't want to have to do a factory reset. I had to manually download all of my apps when I switched phones.
You can clear the systems app from apps in settings but I don't know if that will fix it. Clearing the phone from recovery shouldn't delete your apps but will Probably clear your logins and passwords for different apps

Doing a factory reset will delete everything, including apps. That's what I'm trying to avoid. Like I said, I don't know which app is the culprit here.
Is it safe to clear fire launcher data or cache?
What does the data (besides cache) do anyway?

Yes, it is safe to clear its cache, for the data if you haven't removed any system apps, then all the home screens settings will go back to default(like folders will be deleted, sorting will go back to default).
If you have used savvytechwinner's tools to remove system apps then your home screen icons may dissapear.
