Agreed. Personally I've always felt that the Explorer and Searcher fell into this category. Everyone that has SD Maid installed has a file explorer too and truth be told, the explorer lacks basic functionality like image preview, so it's not as useful as the alternatives available either.

SD Maid as an investment for me, was about cleaning the crap from my SD Card with ease. There have been some things that I've really needed. Thumbnail preview for Duplicate Deletion and better Corpse Detection as I have a ton of directories left over from deleted apps. I'd also prefer to see Tasker integration over scheduling as that would ultimately allow for scheduling to be done in a way which would keep the app focused and allow for even better things beyond my imagination to take place.

I love SD Maid, hence why I monitor this thread but I certainly don't need an App Manager in any guise. Linking and unlinking apps to the market isn't ever going to be within the scope of SD Maid, that's the very definition of App Management as is the current App Control which can be done at OS level now and even though it's a great feature has no place being part of SD Maid.

Perhaps SD Maid will become one of the corner stones of a larger device manager app. At that point I'd cheer it on with all its functionality. In the exact way that I generally recommend JRummy's ROM Toolbox despite only ever needing the Root Browser app. I would genuinely wish that program all the success in the world and would hope Darken made an absolute killing on it.

SD Maid and SystemCleanup by Inteks are indispensible for me.
[Android Apps and Games] Dark3n:
SD Maid is currently not compatible with JellyBean 4.2

I'm working on a fix...
[Android Apps and Games] scarmon25:
Haha. Was just about to say we may have issues with the new storage and all that good stuff. No worries man.
[Android Apps and Games] Dark3n:
Will have a 4.2 compatible beta soon.

I'm looking for someone with a 4.2 ROM, multi user setup and a removable sdcard, if anyone has all this, i would be grateful if you would send me an email/PM/chat.

I have a tablet and phone both nexus running 4.2. Tablet has multi user but no sdcard. Phone is single user no SD card. I just got off work so when I get home I can jump in the irc if that'll help
[Android Apps and Games] pele78:
everyone push darken to add scheduling cleaning options!!!!!!!!!!!!!
[Android Apps and Games] scarmon25:
That won't do anything. I know Darken and he will get to it when he gets to it. Pushing a Dev to do something isn't the way to go about it.
[Android Apps and Games] vlt96:
I am sorry to announce you, there will be a lot more people (like me) pushing back, because I find scheduled maintenance pretty stupid... the windows vista/7 scheduled defragment for example NEVER RAN... and plus, we have flash memory on all devices, having that much stuff deleted out of our control will kill the phone/tablet really fast (unrecoverable brick)

I am also guessing, like all apps that hve scheduling options (like Facebook and Titanium Backup) disabling them makes them a lot lot worse on the background...

Oh yea, and do you really want to browse your SD, and suddenly wake up with a frozen phone (most likely a kernel panic)

-1 for scheduling, don't bother darken :)

[Android Apps and Games] Dark3n:
There is now a beta with JellyBean 4.2 support available HERE.

Most functions don't work across multiple user profiles yet, i.e. the app cleaner will only clean your cache, not the other users app caches.

If you don't use multiple user accounts on 4.2, you don't have to worry about this anyways.

I'm probably going to add a setting on rooted devices that allows to choose between "All Users/UserA/UserB", will have to look into that :).

[Android Apps and Games] Sef_:
First of all, great app! :cool:

But after last updade, when I try to uninstall something with APPCONTROL (Using "Remove the app and its data" option), the message "Working..." stays there for ever. (It only disappears when I press the Xperia's Search button or when I close SD Maid using other app). The app that I was trying to uninstall is normally uninstalled by the way.
[Android Apps and Games] Dark3n:
Which version are you on now, and which version were you on before?
[Android Apps and Games] Sef_:
Now = 2.0.2.1 RC2

Before = Don't remember. I downloaded from the market last month. I guess 2.0.2.0
[Android Apps and Games] Bacardi_Drinker:
Hello Dark3n,

i have a similar problem as Buleste with your great app.

My phone is a Huawei Honor U8860 with Stock2.3.6, rootet with Superuser.

Things i have done:

- First installed your app and run it

- allowed root without remember at statup

- refresh SYSTEMCLEANER -> asked for root -> allowed

- app hangs up on searching

- reboot the phone

- run your app again with root allowed without remember

- refresh SYSTEMCLEANER -> asked for root -> denied

- app runs on non rootet directories perfect

I tested the 2 searches in a terminal, both finished.

any recommendation ?
[Android Apps and Games] Sef_:
Can't play why, but it's working again now. :eek:

Even before, when I was using stock firmware/ROM/etc isn't working.

And I didn't installed anything unusual
[Android Apps and Games] g.d.legion:
Good Job!! :)
[Android Apps and Games] Dark3n:
Sorry, i know about that problem, i already tried fixing it once (obviously didnt work), i will look at it again, just got alot going on at the moment.

For some reason the console/shell doesn't exit correctly on some huawei devices, so SD Maid waits endlessly for the operation to finish, which already finished, but doesn't exit.

Does it also hang if you start SD Maid and deny root from the start? Changing the root granting while SD Maid is already started is not good and can lead to unpredictable behavior.
[Android Apps and Games] Bacardi_Drinker:
Seems to run normally :confused:

I would first try reinstalling it and rebooting your device, if it still doesn't work, i would suspect a problem with the superuser database.
[Android Apps and Games] Cybernerd:
Hi, thanks for the reply, I tried that already even left sd maid running the whole night afterwards but unfortunately it seems like my suspicion is correct after all. Earlier today, I tried to unbind everything on my DirectoryBind app and tada! Not a second less! Oh well, I guess I won't be using this for now. :beer:

Sent from my SHV-E160K
[Android Apps and Games] Dark3n:
There is no use letting it run over night, it should startup within seconds, if it doesn't it most likely won't at all.

So you are saying you moved SD Maid with the app "DirectoryBind" and that lead to this problem?

If so i will write it down and see if i can make SD Maid compatible with it.
[Android Apps and Games] SecUpwN:
Oh man, could you please offer a special version with automatic updates and scheduled cleaning? It's a little tiring to always do it by hand...
[Android Apps and Games] Cybernerd:
Sweet! :)

But no, I didn't move sd maid with directorybind. I did however bind several key directories on my gnote, such as the Downloads & DCIM folder which I hear causes problems on some devices. In this case I'm guessing sd maid just keeps on looping through them mounted/bind directories checking them like forever. :D

Sent from my SHV-E160K
[Android Apps and Games] Dark3n:
Just click "Update automatically" in Google play :). Why does SD Maid need an extra update system?

Scheduled cleaning has already been discussed plenty, I'm thinking about it, time will tell.

I won't start any "special versions".

Would it be possible to mail me a logcat of this ?
[Android Apps and Games] SecUpwN:

Just wanted to say that I love this program. Have you considered adding a start up manager like what is included in android assistant?

Also how can I tell if there are experimental features (I have them turned on)?
[Android Apps and Games] Dark3n:
Is it an official ROM or a custom ROM?

I have already considered a startup manager, haven't made a decision yet though.

You can tell by seeing function that weren't there before ;).

In the current version, there are some extra buttons in the misc tab and functionality in the explorer to execute shell scripts.

LBE has a cool feature whereby if you uninstall an app, it asks you if you want to remove any files said app may have left behind. Thought it might be worth mentioning here.
[Android Apps and Games] Dark3n:
Thats a good idea. Something like a notification which when clicked runs the corpse finder on that specific uninstalled app.

Not too difficult either, will have to think about how to handle multiple apps being uninstalled in a row.

I'm currently drowning in university work and other things.

After that i was going for SD Maid v3.0 with a new UI as I'm no longer happy with the tabs.

With the new UI there will be space for new features, maybe scheduling, we will see :p.
[Android Apps and Games] jr67:
Sorry of this has already been requested before, but is there any way you can support batch delete or freeze functions? I'm on CM nightlies and it gets tedious deleting or freezing the same apps again and again. Or better setting up some kind of script that I can run to automatically delete or freeze a bunch of apps.
[Android Apps and Games] Dark3n:
I can put multiple selection for AppControl on the TODO list.
[Android Apps and Games] CheriePie:
I'm currently running the unlocked version of SD Maid on my Evo LTE, and today installed it on my Kindle Fire HD (rooted) as well. On my Fire, though it let me install the app itself, the Unlocker says my device isn't compatible. Why would the app be compatible on the Fire, but the Unlocker isn't?
[Android Apps and Games] Dark3n:
I have no idea...

A few others are experiencing the same issue.

I neither updated the app nor added any restrictions to it :(.

Send me an email and i will help you out, maybe it's just a fluke within Google Play?
[Android Apps and Games] CheriePie:
Must've been a fluke because I was able to download the Unlocker fine on my Kindle HD today. Strange... *shrug*

I was just pulling up the app to try to email you from within and get the relevant data and figured I'd give it a try again just to verify and voila, it was working. Just thought I'd let you know. Perhaps anyone else having the issue, you can see what happens if they wait a day in between installing the app and the unlocker.

Anyway thanks again for making such a comprehensive cleaner. :good:
[Android Apps and Games] Dark3n:
I spend some time ( i didn't have :| ) on implementing odex/dex scanning (corpsefinder), aswell as some smaller things of the TODO list.

For the brave&bold there is a beta of v2.0.2.4 available here.
[Android Apps and Games] Dark3n:
I uploaded a new beta.

Worked mainly on the CorpseFinder, dex/odex scanning should be alot better now.

Searching for corpses now also includes asec files and apks.

You may enable experimental features (SD Maid/Advanced Settings) and have the CorpseFinder search /system/app too.

Doesn't help alot as we don't really need extra space on /system but maybe for those with OCD among us...?

I'm not sure if i will keep all or any of the extra CorpseFinder features, or maybe make them all experimental.

I'd be very happy if any of you who test it, send me an email to support@thedarken.eu (Just put "CorpseFinder Beta" in the subject) with a list or a screenshot of what the corpsefinder found on your device.
[Android Apps and Games] SecUpwN:
AW: [APP][1.6+] SD Maid - System cleaning tool

First thing it found there was Superuser.apk. If I remove that file, will SD Maid unroot my device? And why is Superuser considered to be a corpse all of a sudden?

EDIT: Nevermind, I forgot that I'm using my beloved SuperSu and NOT Superuser. So yeah, Superuser.apk was a corpse. Thanks for the new version, are you still reworking tge tabs for a more convenient access?
[Android Apps and Games] Dark3n:
AW: [APP][1.6+] SD Maid - System cleaning tool

If it found the apk file in /system/app it shows it as corpse because it also found an app in the user space that overrides the one in the system.

Happens when you update a system app from the market, like Maps or YouTube.

You can search for the app in AppControl and view the apk location (Details).

I have found a nice library by Jeremy Feinstein (DemoApp http://bit.ly/TWejze), that looks alot like what I'm looking for, so yeah reworked navigation is coming :D!

Yellow: asec files of encrypted apps that seem to be neither installed nor mounted

Orange: APKs that are not in use, because they are not installed or are overriden by the same app but user/system space.

Same as the last release, i'd love some screenshots of the results, if anyone feels like it ;)!

So whats new?

- Alot better and safer corpsefinder results

- Thumbnail previews (This was fun to write :D)

People with the Pro version may go into the settings of Explorer/Searcher/Duplicates and enable preview generation :)

- Cleaned up the global excludes, either moved them into their specific function or left them out completely

- All details dialogs no longer safe to textfiles, but offer to share their content through any app that shares text (Email/Clipboard etc.)

I'd love to get some feedback about the thumbnail generation performance and corpsefinder results again (screenshots would be best).

Keep up the great work!

[Android Apps and Games] Dark3n:
SD Maid v3.0 and a new UI is planned, I will see how feasible it is to make this possible when working on the new UI.

ENHANCE!

Someone stabs something with a key, ouch...

Made by ironlood, thanks buddy!

[Android Apps and Games] sabret00the:
Regarding the new UI, I don't think you need the sliding drawer. I actually think that a spinner (drop down) will more than suffice.
[Android Apps and Games] Dark3n:
Maybe not need, but i want it! ;)

Some other points:

- Too many tabs to use the current navigation efficiently.

- The chance to have two full menus without consuming more space is awesome, i.e. could have left menu show main features, and right menu allow for options like changing sortmodes on the fly, or the explorer could have shortcuts to directories of your choice there, or last searches or something (just ideas to support my point, no promises)

- There are also workarounds in place to get the actionbar dropdown/tabs navigation work properly with the viewpager that allows swiping the pages.

- Issues with the dropdown navigation tab names being displayed wrong when swiping the pages by hand and then changing orientation.

- Less work arounds = sexier code, well you guys won't see that, but it will make me a happy dev :D

- Without the tab row, there will be more screen space available on smaller screens

- If we were going for what "suffices" we'd still have SD Maid v0.9 UI :p

I hope to finish one in the next few days that will be pretty close to the next release canidate for the market.

Still working on memory optimization for the gallery preview generation, and there are some functions i want to move from root only to unroot/root, and some unroot/root functions that only need to run on rooted devices.

Most of it won't be visible to the user, but it makes for cleaner runtime.

I'm also going to make the "No root" notification less obstrusive as it makes alot of people think SD Maid does not work on unrooted devices at all.

What does it mean when I "clean" apps like Google Maps (approx. 100MB) and Spotify (approx. 800MB)? Will it delete my downloaded offline-maps and downloaded/synched Spotify Songs?
