Thanks for the feedback.

That's currently intented behavior as excludes are only tracked by their content, so editing one actually creates a new one.

I thought it was actually a handy sideeffect.
[Android Apps and Games] SecUpwN:
Wanna hear mine, too?

All I can say is this: Hahahahaha.. :D WTF? Did those folks say anything why they won't clean their phones no longer?

Even if it would be a Santa with a beard, that would be no reason at all! I guess that the people complaining are the same freaks which complain about funny mohammed drawings. Anyhow, nice new COFFEE STEAM, thank you for keeping your guts, [MENTION=608746]Dark3n[/MENTION].
[Android Apps and Games] Dark3n:
I've been told they were uncomfortable with a bearded man in a maids dress handeling their files. ಠ_ಠ

edit: While we are at it, new beta.
[Android Apps and Games] :
I can't get the scheduler to work.

I can set up the settings, but whenever I go back to the home screen, the scheduled cleaning won't happen.

If I open the app back up, the scheduler checkmark will have been cleared.
[Android Apps and Games] 1droidmod:
Iam G+ SD Maid beta community member and cant locate option to beta test. I would really love to test SD Maid beta.. I am blind? Suggestions?

EDIT: Let me guess? Need to be on laptop/comp not app to see this option?

Thanks!!

hit ThAnKs if I was helpful!!!
[Android Apps and Games] Dark3n:
Do you have an App that interferes with autostarts? Such as Greenify?
[Android Apps and Games] :
I degreenified both the unlocker and the app itself.

The checkmark to enable the scheduler still gets turned off as soon as I back out to the home screen.

Dutch translation

[MENTION=608746]Dark3n[/MENTION]

I made some changes in my Dutch translation(strings), Just 'cosmetic' enhancements mostly.

Please include in next Beta/Release

Thanks, will do.
[Android Apps and Games] Chris.nl:
Yes, I have the same issue. Scheduler randomly deactivates. Both on HTC one and Nexus 7 2013.
[Android Apps and Games] Dark3n:
It looks like swiping SD Maid out of the recent tasks list not only kills SD Maid but also deactivates alarms.

Could this be the case here?

What Android versions are you two running?
[Android Apps and Games] :
Mine is in my signature.

Is there anyway for it not to do that? I like to keep the recent apps as slim as possible when I am multi-tasking so I am not constantly scrolling up and down trying to find an app. I don't need SD Maid to be on the list if I'm not actively changing its settings.
[Android Apps and Games] Dark3n:
I'm looking into it, I'm not sure whether this is an Android bug or intended behavior.

Might have a workaround at hand though, it would come with v3.0.2.1 or later.

I would like to know if this appears on all 4.0+ Android versions.

Does anyone have 4.2 or 4.1 and can confirm?
[Android Apps and Games] martinusbe:
Yes, on CM10.1 (4.2.2) chekmark dissapears when swiped from recent tasks....

the app starts fresh.

[Android Apps and Games] Ci-Fi:
I'm also having an issue with the scheduler. Whenever I set it to clean every 2 or more days, it never runs. However, when I go back into the app, it is still checked and it shows the countdown.

Setting it for everyday works fine, though. Phone details in signature.
[Android Apps and Games] Chris.nl:
This could be the case, I do swipe it out of the recent tasks list.

I'm running android 4.4 on the HTC One and 4.4.2 on the Nexus 7 2013
[Android Apps and Games] Dark3n:
I've found one solution for the "swipe" issue that will be implemented in v3.0.2.1.

I wonder how other apps using Androids AlarmManager deal with this?

I'm currently waiting for a few translations and testing SD Maids behavior regarding thisrecent announcment.
[Android Apps and Games] comstyle:
looking forward to seeing the swipe issue solved :D

I don't know if someone came up with but in my case the scheduler time is reset after a reboot.

is it a bug or a feature? :)
[Android Apps and Games] Chris.nl:
Sometimes my scheduler is reset even without swiping it out of recent list or a reboot, just random.
[Android Apps and Games] -CHIMAIRA-:
thats the best cleaning and organize app ever,i cant live without it,great work.:cool:
[Android Apps and Games] Gastozz:
Hi, is there an option to remove history from browsers like the "Privacy cleaner" in Clean Master and remove pictures, sound clips, videos from Whatsapp, Viber, etc. like in Clean Master too. :)
[Android Apps and Games] comstyle:
nice scheduler finally works correctly :D

but only the database search gets triggered not the optimization. right? xD
[Android Apps and Games] MikeRL100:
Thanks for that. darken and I looked into what you've mentioned on the scheduler only analyzing databases. Turned out it's a bug alright. Good catch! It's been fixed on his end and whenever a new version comes it should be resolved. If you wanna fix it, check twice the checkbox next to an action when using the scheduler. It's a glitch. I had a hunch and told him to check his code for the other tools available under the scheduler. They'll be testing and eventually a fix should come to the stable version. Thanks again I never noticed that bug.
[Android Apps and Games] Salim.Keady:
Wipe battery state option is removed since v 3 ?
[Android Apps and Games] Dark3n:
Yes, it was a gimmick to begin with and despite the explanation that was shown, people still thought it improved their battery use, which it DOES NOT. I removed it with v3 as it was superfluos.
[Android Apps and Games] Dark3n:
Check out the latest beta.

Through the beta community or my server.

I'm particularly interested in how well the Scheduler behaves now...
[Android Apps and Games] killoid:
few graphical glitches i am facing in the leff drawer & in the overview section in app & internal storage. screenshot attached.

normally the left drawer background is grey but when i click to scroll it turns into black. app & internal storage background is blue but clicking to scroll turns into black.

i am using galaxy y duos gt-s6102,stock 2.3.6 rom.
[Android Apps and Games] Dark3n:
This is related to gingerbread and samsungs framework changes in the stock ui.

Can you create a ticket for this issue?

Same text, + screenshots would be fine.

Not sure I like that the maid's beard dips in her read on the new RC. ;D
[Android Apps and Games] Vagelis1608:
Great App

Thanks for this great tool, Dark3n

Isn't current version on GPlay 3.0.1.9?

And...

I am the one who translated SD Maid to Greek :)
[Android Apps and Games] Geddd:
it's my first time to try this app. Thank you for your great work :good:
[Android Apps and Games] Dark3n:
v3.0.2.4 is now rolling out into Google Play.

You can already grab it from my server, if you don't want to wait.
[Android Apps and Games] Ci-Fi:
Now fixed. :thumbup:
[Android Apps and Games] Dudeist Priest:
Wow, this is a great app. Glad this thread was here since I was looking for an alternative to Clean Master since they destroyed it in the last update. I have to say, it was a bit intimidating the first time I ran it seeing all the stuff it caught that Clean Master obviously didn't.

Anyhow, I originally came here to ask about clearing the app cache, but I found my answer and bought the pro version. Working great so far.
[Android Apps and Games] Dark3n:
I can imagine that SD Maid might look a bit intimidating when coming from other cleaning apps.

But if you can overlook the lack of a flashlight, I'm sure you will be happy with it ;).

The AppCleaner clears caches.

It will scan your internal sdcard, external sdcard aswell as possible usb storages (if SD Maid detects them, see Overview page).

If you grant root also the internal private storage.

Since SD Maid v3 it will also check the random folders created on your sdcard by apps if SD Maid recognizes them (you can see in the Explorer whether SD Maid recognizes a folder).

Long press an entry after scanning before deleting to see what it picked up.
[Android Apps and Games] Dudeist Priest:
I might have to dock you a few stars on my review for the lack of a flashlight :p

I rooted for the first time a few weeks ago (chain fires auto root) so I'm just getting used to having all of this added control on my Nexus 5. I saw somebody mention earlier in this thread the AppCleaner functionality. I was surprised how much junk it found since I've been running Clean Master ever day. I think my highest item count was ~ 700 which was Dropbox. I didn't know until now that I could long press the item to be cleaned to see what would be deleted so like an idiot I double checked in solid explorer what was in that folder and it was just a bunch of junk logs.

I was going to set up a schedule, but after I uninstalled Clean Master I noticed a huge drop in kernel wake locks which has been killing my battery. I don't know if a schedule would make a difference, but I want to get a fair comparison on my battery performance and amount of wake locks.

Anyhow, thanks for the response. If you ever need any help with translations let me know, I've helped two folks on here with their apps in Portuguese and Spanish (Castilian).

Have a good one.

OH- do you have any plans in the future for a widget that would perform a "quick clean"?
[Android Apps and Games] Dark3n:
SD Maids service is playing dead when the UI is closed and no actions are running.

SD Maids scheduler (when it works, we had some issues with that :rolleyes:) uses Androids internal alarm manager and should be very easy on your battery.

You are more than welcome to check out SD Maids translations and to help out if you can.

There are some widgets planned, but I don't have an ETA yet and I've neither decided what those widgets will be.

So they are coming but besides that, nothing concrete yet.

I was fantasising about a widget that allows freezing apps. Similar to how you can create folders on your home screen to group apps, but in this case the folder is a freezer and dragging an app into it freezes it, while draging it out, unfreezes it.

I have no idea how difficult this is, but i liked the idea ;).
[Android Apps and Games] Thomas_BA:
Excellent tool, a must have.

is there a possibility to disable the popup which shows up every time i start the application?
[Android Apps and Games] Dark3n:
What pop up?

There is the news dialog that shows ONCE after an update.

And if you started SD Maid, i think 5 times, a dialog about following me on twitter/g+.

There should be no dialog that shows everytime.
[Android Apps and Games] Thomas_BA:
It shows up every time i start the app. I have it in Spanish, but translated it says.

" SD Maid is a very powerful tool...use it with caution..."

By the way i have the latest from the market beta running and payed version.
[Android Apps and Games] Dark3n:
Ah that toast message hm...

Is it that bad?

I don't really want to add a setting just for that.

I could reduce the duration for how long it is shown.
[Android Apps and Games] martinusbe:
Since there are going to be many new users, a little warning is probably not bad ;)
[Android Apps and Games] Dark3n:
What do you mean ?
[Android Apps and Games] martinusbe:
I mean that since Clean Master added a bunch of bloatware and permissions.

People are starting to look for other cleaning apps.

And a little warning popping up would be a good thing for preventing them to mess up their phones...

:good:
[Android Apps and Games] ~kyle:
I don't mind it and I'm kind of surprised someone even mentioned it. I don't find it to be obtrusive at all.
[Android Apps and Games] Thomas_BA:
I also don't mind it, just asking if there was an option to disable it.
[Android Apps and Games] fedett92:

[Android Apps and Games] weirdsciencex:
Best system cleaner hands on. While others may be simple SD Maid gives you total control while not adding useless features, who needs a flashlight in a cleaning app!?

Highly recommend purchasing the unlocker to support the dev.

Haven't found anything regarding what extra features come with the pro version?
[Android Apps and Games] JohnnyEpic:
The best feature I got of purchasing PRO is supporting the dev. And a flashlight.

Zing.
[Android Apps and Games] Dark3n:
Currently:

- Deletion in 'AppCleaner' (You can view the results in the free version, but can't act upon them)

- Deletion in 'Duplicates' (You can view the results in the free version, but can't act upon them)

- Custom filters in 'SystemCleaner'

- File preview thumbnails in 'Explorer' and 'Duplicates'

- Root search in 'Searcher'

- Scheduler functionality

- My gratitude and making continued development possible
[Android Apps and Games] egor27:
Is there an option for history/privacy cleaning beside the play store suggestion? something like ahm maybe clean master privacy section? (yap another deserter).
[Android Apps and Games] :
The newest update finally rolled out to my phone last night. Tried the new scheduler, it still doesn't save settings. I tried to set it at a time for 1 minute later (kept my screen on) and when the scheduler actually worked and started the app, it only scanned (and didn't clean). I don't have the only scan checkbox marked.

Also, yes I rebooted my phone after installing the app. And I also set it to everyday like an above post referenced. The phone also had higher than the minimum battery percentage.

It is version 3.0.2.5.
[Android Apps and Games] Dark3n:
Currently not, if you know what files need to be deleted though, you could create a custom filter in the SystemCleaner for it.

I can look into doing that myself, it just is not a huge priority for SD Maid, as size/space/performance wise it will not be noticeable.

So it really only is a "privacy" issue then.

On a side note, most browsers have an incognito browsing mode that will not save what sites you visited or cookies during that time ;)

If you toggle the checkbox once, i.e. turn it off and then on again, does that make a difference?
[Android Apps and Games] :
Yeah I got it to work now, thank you.
[Android Apps and Games] Dark3n:
A beta is available again, v3.0.2.6.

Changelog.

Get it through the beta community or from here.
[Android Apps and Games] chris264:
Very Great App. Many Thanks.
[Android Apps and Games] comstyle:
mh strange. it seems like the "the scheduler timer resets after reboot" is back. can someone confirm that?
[Android Apps and Games] moogaa:
nice

cooooool app
[Android Apps and Games] Ci-Fi:
Can confirm.
[Android Apps and Games] Dark3n:
So the scheduler is active, but that timer reset as if you would have just set it again?

i.e. you set it to run every 3 days, 1 day has already passed, but the timer shows it will run in 3 days.

I think that might not be a bug that is back, rather it never went away...

I need to check the code again, i hate working on timing things :rolleyes:.
[Android Apps and Games] Ci-Fi:
Exactly.
[Android Apps and Games] jr67:
I'm using the latest beta and I can't delete any files with the duplicates finder. I search for duplicates, select the option to keep the newest, the older files are all highlighted, then I click the check mark in the upper left corner and nothing is deleted. The only thing that happens is the highlights disappear.
[Android Apps and Games] Dark3n:
Bug ;). Ty for the report.

The delete button in batch mode is missing, fixed in the next version.
[Android Apps and Games] Hirishiolo:
Hi to all! I have last beta version and I created some custom filters for the SystemCleaner. I selected only some folders as Basepath (no other rules selected) and all but one work well. The basepath "/storage/sdcard0/backups" that should delete that folder and the subfolder "/storage/sdcard0/backups/apps" always FAIL (especially the fail message concern the subfolder). Does someone know why and what can I do to resolve? thanks in advance
[Android Apps and Games] Dark3n:
Assuming that the filter is otherwise correct, try "/storage/emulated/0/backups" or "/storage/emulated/legacy/backups".

Also note that files get put into filters on a "FIRST" basis, i.e. if it matches another filter first it gets stuffed in there.
[Android Apps and Games] vlt96:
Am I the only one missing the partition info in overview? I wanted to see the cache and system size one day and I couldn't find them... They were really useful :(

Just giving some feedback on the new UI, couldn't test until now...

It is nice, but it's slower and optimising databases is really a lot worse now :)

Also, the God damned notification showing every time I do something is useless when app is on foreground, and just uses more CPU... Just saying

I also have privacy guard active in cm11, and I disabled the autostart, I don't have scheduler enabled... Just look at that notification count, OMG..

Sorry for such negative feedback, but better to be honest than lie (and I have no reason to lie, I'm not my ex)

I love your app, using it since I got my 1st android phone, I installed SD maid and IMDb on the 1st day, these are the 2 apps I never uninstalled for 2 years and a half... But honestly, the old UI was a loooooot better (same applies for the change IMDb did some time back, never loved the app like that since)

Sent from my GT-I8190
[Android Apps and Games] zeppelinman_2000:
I miss the information on cach ect.. that's not in the new interface, miss the bar style info also.

But still love the app would be great if info restored , I like new theme menu just miss the info that I have to use a different app to get now.

From the Ether of Time
[Android Apps and Games] Dark3n:
Maybe it's a bit hidden now. Did you know you can tap the icons in the overview :)?

It now also displays the physical device it uses including a possible label if the system assigned one.

View attachment 2606049

It's actually a lot faster than previously, but it is now also a lot more thorough so speed improvements are not that noticable.

Define "worse"? The database feature was rather very "wrong" at times previously. I've seen instances where it reported that 7GB have been freed due to optimisation, which was just ridiculously wrong.

You are free to do that, but besides you feeling good that it is disabled it, it makes no measureable difference. It's not SD Maids whole backend launching on boot.

It's just a single BroadcastReceiver that looks into the settings file to see whether scheduling is enabled. If it is not, the whole routine is done after 2 lines of code.

Yeah it's not too usefull when the UI is open, i don't think it's a huge issue though. I fear it will be difficult to then show them when you hide the UI. You could create a ticket for changing it, but you will not notice a difference in performance or cpu use. The only difference would be your notifcation counter.

I strongly disagree, designs are of course a very subjective topic, but aside from looks:

- A tab/pager based design with like 9? tabs was just bad design.

- The tabbar removed one actionbar height of screen real estate that we now have again.

- Any feature page is now only 2 taps away

- We can see progress and results of multiple features at once by just opening the navigation

- Tablets get a much better screen layout now

- I now don't get anymore emails complaining about miss-advertising the app because they didn't find out you could scroll the tabbar horizontally.

- Better performance because we don't have to keep multiple UI fragments loaded left and right of our current fragment.

- More space for names, especially in other languages, no wrapping

- Navigation in landscape mode (dropdown spinner) in the previous UI was actually very broken and not really fixable due being based on the official android compatibility library.

- Codewise this implementation is a lot less prone to bugs than the previous architecture.

- Coffee drinking SD Maid!

Did you know you can tap the icons in the overview :)?

The circle graphs might get changed again, I'm not 100% happy with those.
[Android Apps and Games] Hirishiolo:
+1 for request of a widget/shortcut... for me it should be preset to automatically starts some functions chosen by the user (AppCleaner/SystemCleaner/Corpses/Duplicates/etc...) thank you!
[Android Apps and Games] Woody:
Is there anyway to have tick boxes in System and App Cleaners? When I run it and it comes back with the list of all the things, it would be nice to have a tick box on the right with all of them auto-ticked. Then if there is an app that we don't neccessarily want to clean, we can untick the box and hit run (for instance, I want to clear Gallery, but not QuickPic). Not an important feature, but an option. Still love this app. In fact it is on every device I own.
[Android Apps and Games] siddheshvartak:
works on xperia U......

VEry Very helpful for low memory devices like Xperia U...

thanx.......
[Android Apps and Games] loco72:
Great app!
[Android Apps and Games] Dark3n:
Well of course its technically possible, but I'm not very eager to redo the UIs again, i got rid of most checkboxes with the last UI update and opted for the more android like "contextual actionbar" (i.e. long press stuff).

Wouldn't an exclusion be a straight forward solution for the appcleaner part?

Just add an exclude for the quickpic for the appcleaner.

For the systemcleaner you could of course deactivate the specific filter, but then again you would not see the results...

So there is a use case here for checkboxes... but I'm not very fond of the idea :(.
[Android Apps and Games] Rudjgaard:
Just a minor warning - for some reason using latest version, when scanning for corpses,

it now includes the twrp folder, if you don't pay attention you might delete all your backups
[Android Apps and Games] 0bu:
Actualy was thinking about something similar few days ago. I imagine adding one more column to each app in AppControl so you can exclude the apps you Dont want to let go thru all the clearing processes. Would that be posible? ( btw no tickboxes in my idea :))
[Android Apps and Games] Dark3n:
You say column, but don't mean adding checkboxes?

That makes it sound just like the exclude functionality.
[Android Apps and Games] molitar:
I have a question what does the appcleaner do? It shows 73 files available to be deleted but them are all installed programs. Are these left over files from being moved to the SD Card or will I be uninstalling my programs using the Appcleaner?
[Android Apps and Games] Dark3n:
Check all directories known to belong to a specific app for cache files.
[Android Apps and Games] molitar:
Thanks for that info I had tried to locate a manual for it but had no luck. Never used that option even though I purchased it as I was unsure what it did. Now I know I can use it safely.. thanks
[Android Apps and Games] dragonzee:
Cool
[Android Apps and Games] LinearEquation:
This app is great. I went for the pro version some time back. I've never deleted anything I would want to keep as I know how to use the filter. Nice UI too.
