The screenshot looks like you set it correctly. Maybe the keyboard is auto completing it with a space at the end. Just a guess, without a log from SD Maids start it's difficult to say whether the setting took effect. A raw input field may not be the best choice, but as it's a very specific setting it did not warrant investing more time.

I'll most likely remove it completely with an upcoming version in favor of something automated that records a log at the same time.

I would guess that these databases are stored in private location that are not accessible without root.

The browser database especially, as it very likely contains private information that should not be accessible by other apps.

Combined with your previous statement of having tried multiple kernels, this still looks like a root issue.

Still only 1k lines long and it also contains no output from SD Maid.

Please let's continue this via email so we don't spam the thread with information that does not benefit others.

(The last two pages have been just a correspondence between you and me with multiple 1 line posts or empty posts or posts with just attachments)

In any case, I'll (or you can) post a conclusion (and possible solution) once we figured out what's going wrong, so that it benefits others who share your initial problem description.

SD Maids latest stable release is now v3.0.4.0.

TL;DR

Small fixes, more languages and new app+cache definitions.

Changelog

[Android Apps and Games] sordna:
Play store version is still 2 versions behind (3.0.3.8), did you publish the latest version ?
[Android Apps and Games] Dark3n:
Staged roll out
[Android Apps and Games] sordna:
Strange, even visiting the play store website with a browser shows the app being 3.0.3.8 ... isn't the website supposed to always show the latest version ? I could be wrong.
[Android Apps and Games] srecko75:
version 3.0.3.8 update 19.08.2014
[Android Apps and Games] Dark3n:
A staged rollout is done by choosing a % range, i.e. 5% 10% 20% 50%, then clicking "Publish as staged rollout".

Google randomly chooses a % of users that get the update among the current user base.

You will see the update if you are either among the % that got choosen or if you are a beta testers and the update was previously already deployed as beta (this is usually the case with SD Maid) before moving to production.

I'm not certain, but i guess the website only displays the latest version once the rollout is at 100% or if you log in and your account falls under one of the above mentioned cases.

edit:

I usually post the current rollout percentage on the G+ post annoucing the release.

See here.

I just increased SD Maids rollout from 10% to 20% and the Unlocker rollout from 20% to 50%.

[Android Apps and Games] sordna:
Yes, works great.
[Android Apps and Games] Almayce:
Hey, I have a weird issue. I have scheduler set every 2 days at 11pm and when it starts, the navbar and notification bar become blank(buttons and time, date etc dissappear) and the screen is basically unresponsive. If I press the power button, menu appears and the screen works in there. The reboot solves it but it's really weird. It has happened on multiple kernels and the rom is Mahdi. Device Nexus 4. I have read the issues page on bitbucket, but nothing as such is there. Anyone else having the same? I'm sorry if this has been posted already, tapatalk is not a friend of search :/
[Android Apps and Games] Dark3n:
Never heard of this. Sounds ROM/Kernel related.

If i fantasize a bit: Some along system lock up when doing heavy I/O or asking for root, such that the system UI renderer skipps a few frames?

But thats really just bar talk...

See if it happens everytime the scheduler starts the operations, maybe try to record a logcat, see if something interesting gets output. You can mail a log if you want me to take a look.
[Android Apps and Games] Almayce:
I forgot to add that it's not only scan but the actual deletion as well. I got su prompt when it started, which I okayd, and then it happened like I described. It's like a third time now. I'll move the time for tomorrow and try to force it again. By the way I think the app still works in the background. And to be precise it starts when system app cleaner is deleting files. Corpse finder is first and it works normally. We'll see tomorrow. Thanks for response :)
[Android Apps and Games] Dark3n:
There is no "system app cleaner", there is "SystemCleaner" and "AppCleaner". So you probably mean the SystemCleaner?

I can't think of what you could delete that causes this, but if you can narrow it down maybe we can find out.

I.e. deactivate system cleaner filters until it no longer happens, then check the files that are listed in the filter where it hapenns.
[Android Apps and Games] CM17X:
I bought this app days ago, well, the key for the pro version. Great app!
[Android Apps and Games] Almayce:
Yes of course, system cleaner. Stupid mistake. I tried running it without scheduler and everything went well. There were only few kilobytes of data in each section though. The filters are stock by the way, I didn't add or remove anything.
[Android Apps and Games] Salim.Keady:
Dumb question... why in overview busybox icon is yellow and others are green ?
[Android Apps and Games] _jordan_:
Can you post a link? Mine is green. Do you have a different version of busybox?
[Android Apps and Games] Salim.Keady:
Yup
[Android Apps and Games] Vagelis1608:
SD Maid fails to use its own busybox and it uses the system busybox.

It doesn't matter though. SD Maid still works great.

[Android Apps and Games] fenchai:
hi guys, i have set sd maid to do some cleanups everyday at certain hour but it seems that it stops doing it after once.

i have set the schedule to everyday...
[Android Apps and Games] Dark3n:
[MENTION=4849551]Vagelis1608[/MENTION] answer is right.

The non green icon signals that SD Maid is using a workaround. There is also an orange, red and white icon.

It displays a subjective rating of how severe i think the workaround is.

It currently goes green->yellow->orange->red->white.

I thought about adding an explanation in app, but i doubt many people care or understand it.

In your case SD Maid couldn't use it's own busybox due to restrictions put in place by samsung, so it looked for, and found, then tested your system busybox, which was then deterimed to be compatible and used instead. This is completely fine and will not impact SD Maid in anyway.

To have a green icon, i.e. SD Maid using it's internal busybox, you will either have to use SD Maid without root, or flash a custom kernel that removes Samsungs restrictions.

(A bit more info about the 3 stage fallback system here. currently there are 4 stages, due to more restrictions mentioned here )

In a future version it might go green->white->yellow->orange, not sure yet what makes more sense.

Without an unlocker the android icon (displaying SD Maids version) is white too, and that's not a bad state, so as i don't consider using the system busybox "bad" (because in the future this will become more and more the default for lots of devices :rolleyes:), i think white is a good choice.

You are not the only one complaining about this. Other have said it that it doesn't survive reboots for them. Unfortunately i can't reproduce it, it works for me and also works across reboots. I have found no way to reproduce this on my device yet. I'm neither aware of a common factor between these reports. I'm currently guessing that something might interfere with SD Maids autostart or scheduling, like a "Greenify" type app or something relating to autostarts, but this is just guessing so far.
[Android Apps and Games] Salim.Keady:
Thanks buddy for the explanations...really helped...many are the cleaning app still these one is different.. keep up the good work

[MENTION=608746]Dark3n[/MENTION] Indonesian translation not working properly, probably you used "id" not "in" for Indonesian. Try to use "in" instead of "id".
[Android Apps and Games] Dark3n:
True, I'm using "id". Hm...

Androids locale system uses the language codes defined by ISO 639-1 which says that "id" is the correct code for Indonesian.

The language code "in" is not defined in 639-1.

But looks like "in" is used by Sun's Java locale, and so in turn by Android.

See:

http://stackoverflow.com/questions/13291578/how-to-localize-an-android-app-in-indonesian-language

https://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=5476

Working as intended, yeah right... :rolleyes:

Thanks, good find. Would have never imagined this.

Will be fixed with the next release.
[Android Apps and Games] Dark3n:
Beta v3.0.4.1 is available

If it doesn't fix the indonesian language issue, please let me know.
[Android Apps and Games] exodius48:
Your welcome. Glad to help you bro. :)

Great, Indonestian language working properly now. Thanks for fix & update. :)

I think you need to update the sd maid unlocker too if you still use "id" not "in" on it.
[Android Apps and Games] DonHuan:
Could you add an option for a static picture during cleaning process? I mean "the Maid drinking cofee". :D
[Android Apps and Games] Dark3n:
Good, yes i fixed the unlocker too.

What for?
[Android Apps and Games] DonHuan:
For people who don't like animation) I know some people change resources inside the app to switch animation off..
[Android Apps and Games] Dark3n:
Sorry but this is not a valid usecase for me.

I can't make everyone happy. If anyone requests an option to change fontsize, fonttype or size, it is as valid as your request to turn of the animation. Sooner or later half the apps code is about modifying it's own appearance (ok that's exagerated, but you get the idea).

If you can change it without me noticing, i basicly don't care.

The issue is that i do notice, because people do these modifications and they don't all do them perfectly, they crash the app and i get a crash report.

Sure you can disable logging in SD Maids settings which would be good to do before doing such things, hopefully those people then don't send in the crash reports via Google Play.

But then there is more annoying cases, where people modify such things and neglect the possibility that those graphics they changed are actually reused at other locations or have further implications. The secondary crash location might not be directly visible, so they then share this.

Now 500 people have this app and it crashes at the secondary location for 50 people who are unaware of the modifcations reach and blame the crash on me...

If this gets out of hand i will have to spend time on preventive measures against those mods and i have no desire to waste time on that, because it's time deducted from actual improvements.
[Android Apps and Games] Ikkuh84:
Since last update when I do system cleaning, the system ui crashes...

Verstuurd van mijn GT-I8190
[Android Apps and Games] Dark3n:
The device system UI?

Can you narrow it down to a specific system cleaner filter?
[Android Apps and Games] Dark3n:
Beta v3.0.4.1 added that apps are killed before working on their database. +MikeL made me aware that this also kills Apps such as a music player which could be playing at that moment.

The AppCleaner has been killing apps before cleaning their caches for a while now. Has anyone had any negative experiences with that?

We do have a couple of options for this:

* 1: Completely skip app if it's running

* 2: Kill app anyways

* 3: Only kill app if it is not running in foreground (UI/notification)

* 4: Don't kill the app

I'm currently contemplating to have the Databases tool skip apps that are running in foreground, and otherwise kill them before working on their databases. Option 4 is not viable due to the issues with apps like WhatsApp mentioned by +AlexWeedy .

For the AppCleaner we could just skip killing the app if it's running in foreground. Cleaning the cache of a running app does not have such adverse effects as locking the database of a running app.﻿

What do you guys think?
[Android Apps and Games] razz1:
2- kill

Kill. Death is cleansing.
[Android Apps and Games] jr67:
Another vote for option 2.

Edit: On second thought, is it possible to make this something the user can choose in settings? Default would be #2 but you would also have the option to choose option #1 or #3.
[Android Apps and Games] Ultramanoid:
I'd go for 2 or 3 too. When in doubt, 2.

I've been finding a few directories for uninstalled apps on my internal memory, but they're not coming up via SD Maid, what am I doing wrong?
[Android Apps and Games] Dark3n:
If these folders show a "?" when viewing with the Exporer, those folders are unknown to SD Maid, report them and I'll make sure they are covered.

If they don't show a "?" but a tombstone and still don't show in the CorpseFinder, they are marked as "keepers" and you will have to make the CorpseFinder show keepers via settings.
[Android Apps and Games] B3311:
Hi Matthias

Sorry for the delay in replying wrt our e-mails. Thought I'd post here in case anyone else reports the same problem.

I found out that the culprit is this kernel.

I don't know yet if this is going to be my default kernel, so for me there's no rush in investigating/troubleshooting. I posted on the kernel's thread too. Let me know if you need any more info.
[Android Apps and Games] tetakpatak:
[MENTION=608746]Dark3n[/MENTION] SD Maid totally rocks, one of my most important root apps, thank you!!

Just one valuable information: after trying it on test version of Android L (Nexus 7 flo) and having some issues with busysbox:

Busybox X app (Play Store) is the first installer that seem to can handle Android L :D

So whoever tries L: uninstall all bb stuff before, then rum Busybox X

[Android Apps and Games] Dark3n:
If you can mail me a full log recording of SD Maid in verbose mode from start to finish of the operation, then i should be able to tell you more about what's going wrong. I've updated the 2nd thread post with instructions how to provide me with full log recordings.

Thanks for the info, maybe when the final new Android version becomes available I can improve the setup of SD Maid so this becomes unnecessary.
[Android Apps and Games] Dark3n:
So the next update will introduce a new view that acts as shortcut to trigger the automatic features, basicly like the Scheduler, just instant.

The idea is to run everything you do regularly, with one click, instantly.

Currently it's called "OneClick" (yes very creative of me).

This has two purposes:

- Make it easier and faster for existing users to do a routine cleanup without using the Scheduler.

- Make SD Maid available to less experienced users, as the full UI is very detailed and can overwhelm new users. I think that SD Maid provides a superior performance to similar apps, but due to it's intimidating UI, a lot of people unnecessarily miss out on it.

I'm not sure how to place this new "OneClick" view. My current idea is this:

- If you install SD Maid and launch it the first time, it starts on the OneClick view.

- If you switch back to the normal UI SD Maid remembers this and when you exit/enter SD Maid again it will directly open with the full UI.

- If you return to the OneClick view from the full UI (via navigation) and then exit/enter SD Maid, it will open with the OneClick UI again.

So SD Maid remembers which UI you last had open.

Another option would be starting with the full UI, but making the OneClick view the startpage (instead of Overview).

What do you think?

Swapping is seamless and does not interrupt operations.

The attached screenshots are not final yet and will most likely be changed after the next beta.

How about a widget ? To trigger that 'OneClick' ?
[Android Apps and Games] vlt96:
+1 from me!

Will it be configurable?

Sent from my XT1039
[Android Apps and Games] Dark3n:
Somewhere on the idea list, but it's complicated.

I don't really like widgets as interactive components, they are very limited in terms what i can do with them too.

The OneClick view actually connects to SD Maids service, in contrast to the Scheduler which sends out an Intent to launch the tasks and has no direct connection to SD Maids service.

Current plans are to add a widget to the pro version that triggers the scheduler instantly, but I'm not sure yet how i would best do the architecture to support it. I think i would like to display the results in the widget and i don't yet know how i would best do that.

Just created a ticket for it as we didn't have one yet:

https://bitbucket.org/d4rken/sd-maid/issue/182

Feedback is welcome, but only post constructive stuff.
[Android Apps and Games] der_sascha:
it looks great

cant wait for release!

when wil you give it to us?
[Android Apps and Games] Dark3n:
So far you can select which tools are included (Corpse/System/App/Duplicate/Databases) and whether you want to click scan, then click clean or do scan+clean in one pass.

Duplicates selection method will be chooseable too.

I'm not planning to make much more configurable as for more stuff people can just use the full UI.

edit: The operations will adhere to the settings of the full UI ofcourse.
[Android Apps and Games] tetakpatak:
Absolutely true, SD Maid is a wonderful, powerful tool.

I'm curious why do you think UI is confusing, do many people uninstall SD Maid shortly after they've downloaded it from the PlayStore?

And this is my personal favorite [emoji7]

tetakpatalked from N7100
[Android Apps and Games] walutisme:
For widget, I think its only need trigger operations and about displaying result, just show total data cleaned, not one by one (per category). For progress, we already can see it on statusbar, right ?
[Android Apps and Games] Demibrot:
Hi Dark3n,

Someone on the google store complained about how SD-Maid wrecked his Themer Launcher app. I just saw that when searching for Appdata corpses, SD Maid finds the ZooperWidget. I guess the User has deleted Zooper Widget features by using this SD Maid function. Just thought this may be related and might interrest you
[Android Apps and Games] Dark3n:
Can you report the false positive through SD Maid or tell me the exact path and packagename of the related app?
[Android Apps and Games] Demibrot:
Not sure if this is theinformation you were looking for

/storage/emulated/0/ZooperWidget

/storage/emulated/0/Android/data/com.myclorscreen.themer

Hi [MENTION=608746]Dark3n[/MENTION],

Facebook seems to be caching videos at this location:/data/data/com.facebook.katana/files/video-cache. Can this location be included for clean up?
[Android Apps and Games] :
Would be nice with an ability to clean the cache too! Then it could "spare" me an app.

Right now I use Cache Cleaner NG which also has the ability to clean individual apps (though I don't use it because I found it too slow...)

Another idea: For the usability you may want to remove the Samsung corpse finder and instead make a checkbox in settings or something like that? Because either you use the Samsung cleaner or else you use the Android cleaner - and rigth now my screen is too small to see all the text so doing this would make it less cluttered I think.

Keep up the good work. (:
[Android Apps and Games] Dark3n:
Just a little update on my progress.

I'm currently working on finding duplicates. Cleaning app caches is already done.

Both new function will be in the free version, but you can only view the found files.

Deleting them from inside the app will require SD Maid Pro (unlocker app) to be installed, sorry ;(.

So if you want to support my work or use in app cleaning from the two extra functions, you can buy the unlocker.

Both the free and pro version are the same file and not all new function will need the pro version.

(Similar concept to what titanium backup uses).

Besides that i overhauled the interface and optimized some routines.

I will probably have this done by next weekend.

I'm also thinking about letting sd maid launch on non rooted phones with the limited functionality that is possible on non rooted devices.

After that i planned a feature to be able to reset any application to its default settings as if it had just been installed.

A file search and a root/non root filemanager for the free version is on my list too.
