FYI: I managed to grab the domain http://darken.eu/ when it became available and will be moving stuff over to it (shorter is better). http://thedarken.eu/ will keep working forward there.

Both darken.eu and thedarken.eu are mine and not some shaddy scammers. Some more info here, TL;DR setting up a mailserver is a PIA.

Yes it can, can you mail or post a screenshot of that folders contents (preferably from within SD Maids Explorer).

I am using PAC ROM 4.4.4 on Galaxy S II and when I use app cleaning feature after some time (maybe 10-15%) SystemUI.apk is restarting over and over, it stops restarting after the cleaning process is done. Is it ROM bug or something with SD Maid?

The new domain is so much better, good for you ;)
[Android Apps and Games] Dark3n:
I have not heard anything about that before.

The AppCleaner does kill the app it is currently cleaning, but i don't think is the cause.

How exactly do you see that the SystemUI.apk is restarting? Or do you mean crashing?

#342 runs flawlessly as far as I can tell!

Just some minor OneClick UI hick-ups depending on rotation state

(on both of my devices with multiple ROMs/dpi's):

Activity icons won't update

'SD Maid' lettering's lower half is cut (only on tablet)

:good:

[MENTION=608746]Dark3n[/MENTION] latest version is awesome! :victory: btw some ui glitches are there on my gingerbread device. in overview section,when pressing the icons show more descriptions,their background color is blue.but when i touch to scroll,it turns into black. screenshots attached. it happens for every icons expanded descriptions,i just showed one.

another things is in oneclick section,all the functions icons are a bit blurry.screenshot attached.my device is an ldpi device.

& also there are some texts being cut on the action bar.screenshot attached. it only happens in explorer,appcontrol,corpsefinder,system cleaner,appcleaner,duplicates & biggest section. also in appcontrol 'to start press' is being cut.

thanks for the update. it's one of my my most needed apps. :D
[Android Apps and Games] Dark3n:
Will be fixed, fixed it for details dialogs too. Actually even had a ticket for that, but ughh fixing Gingerbread/Samsung only issues is agony :crying:.

I've made some changes to reduce the effect but SD Maid doesn't ship with ldpi resources ( i think since v2).

I fixed the "Start to Press" being cut off and some other cases where the explanation would be cut off. I most likely won't fix the title being cut in the actionbar as i don't see an easy solution for that at the moment. If it's a low screensize/<ICS issue it will most likely stay, if it affects even >GB ROMs i will probably remove the subtitle again.

Thanks for the feedback. You should plan to get a new device at some point.

Just as SD Maid v1 was the last version for Android 1.6-2.0, v2 was the last version for 2.1 - 2.2, v3 will be the last version for 2.3 - 4.0.0 API 14, probably.

So v4 will most likely be at least ICS_MR1+ (API15) - latest (Android Lollypop?). Older Android versions can still download their latest version, they just don't get anymore updates.

It's just not possible to maintain a sleek app while taking advantage of new features and supporting all versions.

SD Maid is already tained with lots of checks to execute legacy code. Dropping support for older versions is like shedding skin only to be reborn new :).

We have to embrace it.
[Android Apps and Games] Ænimal:
Regarding #342 optimizing databases: files are found but on pressing 'optimize' the app only 'pretends' to delete the files.

Have to delete them manually in root file explorer. It's happening on both of my devices. In previous version it was working fine..

Fantastic app - keep rockin' :)

Oh and activity icons in OneClick do update after display rotation - misinterpreted the small time laps..
[Android Apps and Games] Buleste:
Optimizing databases is not supposed to delete any databases, it is making them smaller. That's how it works and that is how it has always worked.
[Android Apps and Games] Ænimal:
Edit: deleted

The app then just doesn't show an empty list anymore..
[Android Apps and Games] Buleste:
It never did for me. It showed what it optimised and how much space has been saved for me.
[Android Apps and Games] Dark3n:
It never pretended to delete database, it doesn't delete them at all. If you have been manually deleting databases you lost data, i would check and possibly restore an backup.

They are still buggy though and the next update will fix a lot of issues in that regard.

^ This.

I'm slowly moving the UI from "freeing space" to just calling "processed databases" or "inspected", as in future there will be other things we can do with databases which not necessarily decrease the database size, but are improvements nonetheless.

Previously it removed any database that had been processed where the size did not change. In a previous update the database have been still removed from the list after processing but as it was introduced that the database owners were killed before processing the database, the results have been better, so the case where the list was empty (nothing was changed) is becoming more rare. And now the databases all stay and you can see the size differences.

Currently it's sorted by database size, I'm not sure yet if this is the best option. Maybe add an option (in the UI) to only show changed databases.
[Android Apps and Games] Ænimal:
Yeah, had to learn that the hard way - luckily I only lost backed-up browser data and such.

As far as I'm concerned I would appreciate to still have the option of sorting those files by size in future releases..

Anyway, SD Maid never let me down! :good: ;)
[Android Apps and Games] onurcevik:
Hey everyone!

To begin with, I see lots of people benefit from this app, so I would like to say thanks to dark3n for helping those people! Unfortunately, I'm about to throw my Galaxy S3 against the wall. Here is a brief explanation of my problem: My phone "for sure" has lots of storage available, but somehow it says "insufficient storage", classic. But here is the tricky part: I managed to download and install SD Maid, and also managed to open the app. However, whenever I try to process something, like using Explorer etc., it kind of freezes, and "Explorer in queue" message stucks on my notification bar. After a certain time, like in 10 minutes or so, a pop-up comes out saying that SD Maid stopped responding. I basically can't use SD Maid application and I have no idea why. I checked the "Known Issues" page, but couldn't come out with a solution.

A little information about the phone storage issue:

I have an ext sd card, it already has like 27 gb available, and I basically put everything except the applications to the ext sd card, including photos, videos, whatsapp backups and so. I mean, there is no way my phone internal storage is out of space. Also you know there is a bar in Storage section of the phone, showing how much portion of the total storage apps use, or photos/videos use, or miscellaneous files use etc. and that bar is not even half full. There are colors for each portion, and grey color is used for Available Space which seems to be more than %60, yet it says "444 MB" left at the bottom. I really have no idea why this happens.

Phone information: Samsung Galaxy S3, rooted, Android version: 4.1.2

I would really appreciate any help on the issue, since I literally don't know what to do. I'm really sorry if that's not the way I should be using the forum, but this problem started causing me huge problems and I'm out of my hometown so I can't use my computer or anything. I can't afford losing my phone too :( Sorry for my English too, if that caused you any trouble.

Regards.
[Android Apps and Games] sordna:
Have you tried erasing/formatting the cache in recovery? Also try this: remove your sdcard (reboot if you have to) then go to the android settings, storage, and tap each of the bars ... Some of them offer to delete app caches, or show you pictures, downloads, apps, misc which you can delete. Doing it with the sdcard removed will make sure you clean stuff from the phone itself.
[Android Apps and Games] onurcevik:
Hi, thanks for the reply. The thing is, I tried to get into the recovery mode, but I couldn't. I'm pretty sure that I should hold down volume up and down buttons and power button, but when i do that, it seems to ignore the volume buttons and just open regularly. If i keep holding despite the opening animation, it keeps trying to boot the phone over and over again. I managed to get into Safe Mode somehow, but like i said, my phone is rooted and i didn't root it, it was a necessary root since i bought this phone from some other country and couldnt unlock it without rooting. Anyways, like i said i couldnt manage to get into the recovery mode, but i'll give it one more shot now.

And about the sd card issue, i was talking about the internal sd card when i said that, and i dont know how to remove the internal one.

---------- Post added at 09:47 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:37 PM ----------

So, I managed to get into recovery mode, and I wiped the cache. It didnt solve my problem. There was an option called "Wipe data/factory reset" or sth like that, but I didnt want to risk it. I would appreciate any help, thanks in advance.
[Android Apps and Games] sordna:
You can't remove the internal storage.

Just delete some stuff like I mentioned, from the settings->storage menu to see if you can get the phone in a usable state. If nothing works, worst case you may have to backup your stuff and do a factory reset which will delete everything (and lose root).
[Android Apps and Games] Dark3n:
The issue is with your root, the first thing that SD Maid does before anything else is setup itself and check for root. That's why the action you triggered is "in queue" despite nothing else visibly being infront of that queue.

In 99% of these cases, SD Maid asks for root, sees something is there (i.e. the device is rooted), but never gets an answer (from the superuser app). Check the SuperUser app, clear it, possible reinstall, possibly reroot.

The "for sure" isn't actually so sure as it doesn't help if you have 30GB here and 30GB there, but nothing were we need it. The filesystem consists of many different partitions any of them possibly being full. But i don't think this is the issue here.

The notification "insufficient storage" is missleading. It just indicates write failure, sure this can be due to insufficient storage, but just as well because of filesystem issues or permission issues. A very common reason for this error is that there are preexisting files that can't be overwritten because the writer has insufficient permission to do so. Common reasons are LuckyPatcher, Backups, CustomRoms or some kind of App2SD script or similar tools.

It's very difficult to be more specific or diagnose it further. But that is not what this thread is for, you should make a new thread for that.

So to stay with the topic, what you should do:

- Fix your root

- Go into the CorpseFinder settings, tick all types of corpses

- Run the CorpseFinder
[Android Apps and Games] tetakpatak:
[MENTION=6062015]onurcevik[/MENTION] SD Maid's tools "Corpse finder" but also "System cleaner" might help.

However if your /system ROM partition is overfilled with apps like mine here (screenshot done within TB):

then the storage problem might indeed be caused by the filled one or other partition.

Now fix your root with flashing SuperSU.zip from Chainfire's website (flash it in recovery) and update your busybox.

If cleaning with SD Maid doesn't help after that, visit threads for your specific phone model and get a solution.

tetakpatalked from the legendary i9000
[Android Apps and Games] Dark3n:
This /system partition is read-only and has no impact on any "insufficient storage" errors.

This doesn't have an impact on the error either and while it doesn't hurt, it's not required unless an app (like SD Maid) complains.
[Android Apps and Games] Dark3n:
The latest beta is now v3.1.0.1(343).

It's a bugfix/polishing update for the last big update and gets us closer to a production release.

There are still some small (most UI) bugs that are difficult for me to pin down.

If you find a reproduceable one please get my attention :).

There seems to be a ROM specific crash on Gingerbread "Meizu Meizu M9" devices, if you have one and want this fixed, I'll need your help.

[Android Apps and Games] tetakpatak:
New UI is awsome, I like RC5 very much. :)

Easy toggleable one click mode.

I have just noticed something that I'm not sure about: after executing a cleanup (I tried with "system cleaning" and "corpse finder") if I toggled from one click view into our still "standard" view and back again, the green button on the bottom has toggled back from green into the red button "clean". Here is screenshot done right after executing "system cleaning":

Should it look that way?

It feels for me like the view in "one click" wasn't refreshed after the executed cleaning operation.

However, when I've executed "app cleaning" and return into the one click view, the button was green (that feels more logically for me as the cleaning operation was just executed).

I've tried on TW 4.3 based ROM dr.ketan V6.1 for N7100 if it makes any difference. I will try also on AOSP KitKat on the same device (I'm on dual boot)

tetakpatalked from N7100
[Android Apps and Games] Dark3n:
I can't reproduce it.

So you press the big scan button or each entry itself?

Do you press clean on each entry or the big button?

Then you switch pages and upon return to OneClick, one of the items shows the clean instead of scan action again?
[Android Apps and Games] tetakpatak:
I've pressed cleaning (bin symbol) on the specific entries to clean up, as well as the big red button "Clean" after scanning a single entry (like "corpses finder"). Then I toggled into the detailed view for that entry and when I have returned to OneClick view, the big button on the bottom wasn't displaying Scan anymore, but Clean

The big button on the bottom showed it. Just like on the screenshot of my previous post. After clicking the big button, it just toggles from Clean to Scan again, without performing any action.

IMHO, this is very minor thing- but if you are a perfectionist and this wasn't planned as a feature I just wanted to let you know about it. Barely worthy of mentioning for me, as the functionality of the app is otherwise 100% fine as much as I could see. I just wanted to let you know.

I have tried now RC5 on several devices, I resume my report:

N7100 TW 4.3: this happens with entries 1,2,3 didn't try: 4,5

N7100 SlimKat 4.4.4: happens with all entries

Nexus 7 flo Carbon 4.4.2: happened 1st time, after 2nd time running the app all was perfect

i9000 CM9 based ROM: all was perfect each time

If you could use any log, let me know.

I found a bug on nvidia shield tablet. When I try to uninstall a system app, for example the stock chrome browser, SD maid do the job and uninstall it, nevertheless the app icon persist and you can actually click on it but it doesn't load the app.
[Android Apps and Games] Dark3n:
I'm only human.

The file gets created by your ROM as somekind of "boolean" config value whether this "cleanup" has been done or not. It theoretically doesn't belong in that folder and SD Maid is not wrong to offer it for deletion.

One could discuss if it makes sense to globally exclude this files, but this doesn't seem to be a common occurance and it's not wrong neither.

Do you mean the icon on the launcher "desktop"? That's mostlikely a bug with the launcher, but either way i have not found a way to remove icons from the launcher via SD Maid. The launcher should theoretically take care of it...

I've narrowed one issue down, not sure if it's yours. If you start a deletion operation, then long press an entry and switch back while it's still deleting, the state it will still offer you to delete instead of scan.

(Because it only checked if there is still data to delete, which was the case WHILE it was deleting, and then didn't recheck after it was done)

if(!getWorker().isEmpty())

change to

if(!getWorker().isEmpty() && !getWorker.isWorking())

:D

Not the Icon on the Launcher desktop, although it remains, but the icon into the apps panel. Actually, the App is listed into the installed apps.

[Android Apps and Games] CM17X:
I didn't tried bit I will as soon I can. The problem is that there are not more system apps that have icon and I want to uninstall. Anyway, the reboot may fix it but shouldn't be needed, considering other apps are uninstalled right away.

[MENTION=608746]Dark3n[/MENTION], is there any kind of useful bug detecting log (like logcat) that we can create to help debugging?

tetakpatalked from the legendary i9000
[Android Apps and Games] Dark3n:
Sure, set SD Maid to debuglevel "2" in the advanced settings and then restart SD Maid and use a logcat app to record what ever is going wrong.

There is also a setting there called "Debug run" but it's only useful in edge cases, usually where SD Maid failed to do something but doesn't crash.

It's intended for people who can't get me a logcat, I prefer logcats as it also contains system errors which could yield extra clues.
[Android Apps and Games] Dark3n:
Some statistics about SD Maid, if you are into such things :).
[Android Apps and Games] tetakpatak:

Yep, Samsung is dominating in general, not only as most used on device for SD Maid app. The official number as of 2013 says that out of four sold smartphones worldwide three were Samsung...

[Android Apps and Games] Dark3n:
Thanks, fixed in sources, not sure if I'll do another update before production just for this though.
[Android Apps and Games] Dark3n:
v3.1.0.6 (348) is now the new stable version.

Grab the apk here or become a beta tester.

Full changelog with all the juicy details.

TL;DR?

Improved & smoother UI

Better results

A new page with shortcuts to all tools

Improved uninstall watcher

Fixed Scheduler reliability issues in most cases

It's a staged rollout publish, so it will take time until the update is visible on Google Play for every non beta tester.

Thanks by the way, I noticed there are some strings in spanish that need translation

Edit: Is there any way you could add context to the translation or do I need to ask every time? :D

Can be translated as:

Bueno, Ok, Malo

or

[Android Apps and Games] Dark3n:
Because you are viewing the english translation.

You don't have to add your name, some people take joy in it though, so i added to the option.

Often i try to be vague on purpose, so that i can reuse translation.

In this case the triplet is inteded to rate examples. Currently it is only used in the help dialog in the excludes page, giving examples for good and bad excludes.

I could imagine that i might reuse this in a redesign of custom filters. Such that i can make a tutorial with a few steps that reuses the string, what good partial pathes look like.

So it would be pathes that are most commonly used with that string.

I'll try to make it more clear next time, sorry.
[Android Apps and Games] Celestial Fury:
It's a radically different approach :eek:, usually all translators are listed. Listing all the many translations could give an overview of how widespread SD Maid's usage is to everyone rather than limiting a particular translation credit for the segment in question.

[Android Apps and Games] Dark3n:
I thought it would actually be more interesting to see who made the translation you are reading at that time.

Do you care about who translated the app to russian when you are viewing it in spanish?
