AW: [APP][1.6+] SD Maid - System cleaning tool

Why not let users help creating it? You could include an experimental option to select such folders through SD MAID and then "report" them. Based upon how often each folder has been reported, SD MAID could regularly download a new version of the polished database. Sounds good? A step towards automated cleaning. :)
[Android Apps and Games] Dark3n:
*looks out the window*

Creepy, that are exactly my thoughts :D.

That's what i have been currently working on.

The code for the corpsefinder is done, i have a small database of canidates, though i need to confirm half of them still.

I.e. some Apps like photo apps create folders too and leave them behind, but in most cases people still want to keep the photo folder, despite the app being no longer installed.

I started on a small web interface to report new apps/folders/files, but it's very alpha... (I can PM you a link if you are interested).

The feature will most likely make it into the next update, but as experimental feature for now.

I wanted to add the "report" option to the explorer menu, where you can currently remount /system.

Not sure yet how i go about sending the data to the server or retreiving the updated definitions.

At least on unrooted devices i would need to add internet permission.

Just being able to update the database without having to do a full app update were my thoughts too.

At the moment it's only a black list of folders, but i think i will enhance it with a "whitelist", so in the end you could basicly click on any folder in the top level of your sdcard and can get information whos folder that is.

AW: [APP][1.6+] SD Maid - System cleaning tool

SD Maid for the WIN! :)
[Android Apps and Games] leviatus:
Great app, speed of beta over stable is quite noticeable.

Would like to ask if it was possible to to implement a queue of scans and be able to set to manual or auto clean (utilising the database mentioned)

Eg. Selecting Corpse and Duplicate scan, and to select whether to auto or manual clean. (scans run one after the other, with results shown after each scan)
[Android Apps and Games] azazel71:
Thanks darken Beta working great :D;)
[Android Apps and Games] aini12aian:
Like the beta! Super fast in system and app cleaning! Thanks making such a great app!

I just have a question though,

this.. always appears everytime i click corpse finder.. i deleted it but it always comes back everytime i open the app.. the app is es file manager..

after deleting it for the first time, it remove the theme of the said file manager.. just wanted to know why.. thanks for looking into this! :)

* I added it the exclude this but it still shows and I discovered too that it won't delete the empty directories. It think this beta has some kind of conflict with the app.
[Android Apps and Games] feracon:
May try this...at my own risk :). Maybe good alternative to factory reset to clean.
[Android Apps and Games] Empantie:
great app very helpfull
[Android Apps and Games] SecUpwN:
Any updates of the App? Thread seems dusty.

When comes scheduled... nevermind. :)
[Android Apps and Games] Dark3n:
Thanks. Good find.

Will fix the false positive and not working exclude.

It probably comes back because it gets recreated by the app.

I'm too busy with my thesis atm, i hope to soon put the finishing touches on the current beta and upload it.

After that i will work on some bigger structure changes and introduce the new UI.
[Android Apps and Games] Dark3n:
I uploaded a new beta.

Fixed the bugs mentioned by aini12aian here and updated some translations.
[Android Apps and Games] aini12aian:
Thanks! Tested it and It's working great now! :good:
[Android Apps and Games] elbonnor:

Easily.still the best cleaning utility for Android. Regardless if you're rooted or not. Still works great on either.
[Android Apps and Games] aini12aian:
Hi! Sorry for bothering you about this. ES File Manager has an update yesterday and ever since that update SD Maid can't delete the empty directories again :(

Thanks in advance for looking into this!
[Android Apps and Games] richardlibeau:
Been use SD Maid Pro for a year now great app.
[Android Apps and Games] Dark3n:
Can you give me step by step instructions on what you did, so i can try to reproduce this?
[Android Apps and Games] aini12aian:
Your last beta solved all of it but then when the new update of es file manager came it won't allow me to delete the empty directories like LOST.DIR (this one comes up when i restart my phone) and the backup folder that will came up when i go to es file setting.

Everytime I click on system cleaner. It will detect the empty directories.

But after clicking on clear all it will say that it is all deleted but if i scan it again

those empty directories will still show.

sorry if im not good in explaning. just tell me if theres anything not clear. and again thanks for looking into this!
[Android Apps and Games] Dark3n:
Thanks.

I could reproduce the issue and empty directories were indeed not getting deleted.

Fixed it and uploaded beta35 just now.

This was not related to ES File Manager.

Link for the lazy.

I'm sure the latest beta version cannot find corpse files in /data/dalvik-cache, when I delete apps in /system/apps.
[Android Apps and Games] Dark3n:
I just converted an user app to system app via Titanium Backup, deleted the apk, ran the corpsefinder and it picked up the dex file in /data/dalvik-cache.

Are you sure you have turned dex/odex scanning on (see settings) ?
[Android Apps and Games] cmlx:
Thank you, I just found these new settings, turn on it and app works well again.
[Android Apps and Games] SecUpwN:
Hey [MENTION=608746]Dark3n[/MENTION]! Reading this post on XDA Portal, I wonder: Does CleanMaster do anything that SD Maid can't do? Scheduled cleaning, maybe? Oh, snap.. we've talked about that, right? :) Dude, how I long for this..
[Android Apps and Games] jr67:
Minor bug to report with the latest beta. The App Control list always scrolls back to the top after I delete an app. In earlier versions the list always remained where it was.
[Android Apps and Games] Dark3n:
Yeah, i saw the video, but while nicely narrated and cut, i thought it was content wise pretty bad, at least in regards to SD Maid.

He showed the partitions in the advanced view and said

"you can look into the folder and see why a folder is a certain size"

Those are partitions that have been mounted by the system and you can neither use the startpage to look into them nor figure out if there is something to delete in there.

"then if you think there are multiple files in that folder that can be deleted, swipe to the explorer tab, browse to that folder and delete it"

And then he just deletes a random folder on his sdcard...

And that was the review of SD Maid :eek:.

Basicly ignoring any of the cleaning features SD Maid has...

If he didn't understand SD Maid, that is okay, i don't blame him, SD Maid is not that easy to use, but then you shouldn't do a review about it...

:rolleyes:

Regarding CleanMaster vs SD Maid:

CM has a bit of everything, some cleaning functions, backup, task manager, but it doesn't seem to excel in any of those categories except that it is easy to use.

If you are looking for cleaning and backups, i would go with SD Maid and TitaniumBackup, while not as user friendly, both apps specialise in their field and (in my opinion), are a lot more thorough.

And if you are looking for a taskmanager, well you shouldn't :p

There will be a point in time when you will able to say "Kids, do you remember when SD Maid didn't have scheduled cleaning?", and they will think you are joking. ;)

Thanks, will check it out.
[Android Apps and Games] patrykowy:
Probably the best cleaner app @ market.

Got pro version and it's amazing.

Waiting for new stable release.
[Android Apps and Games] sabret00the:
Would it be possible to do away with the unlocker, making it into a standalone Pro version? or a less preferable idea is making Pro into an IAP.
[Android Apps and Games] Dolphin87:
gonna give it a try , thanks
[Android Apps and Games] Mike B.:
[MENTION=452425]Darken[/MENTION]: Would it be possible for you to increase android:versionCode ("build number") in the Manifest of each version? Many backup schemes, including the popular Titanium Backup, rely on that information to detect newer versions in need of backup. Specifically, "SD_Maid_v2.0.3.0_beta36" appears indentical to "SD_Maid_v2.0.3.0_beta35" and is not automatically backed up since they both identify themselves as number 211.

The Play Store requires a unique ascending versionCode integer but the OS doesn't even though it's generally considered good practice. Depending on which IDE or VCS you use, it might not be convenient to increase it automatically for all internal/beta releases, but it would make life much easier for the testers and might even help you keep track of the changes you make from one beta to another.

Nice job, with or without versionCode! ;)
[Android Apps and Games] Dark3n:
Possible, but unlikely to happen. It is vastly easier for me this way as i just have to maintain one codebase for SD Maid without cross depdencies. Especially because both share the same code. There would not be a smaller app file either as i want users to see and be able to test the pro function from within the free version.

Also with two sepperate apps, fixing an issue in shared functionality requires two updates.

Maybe in a end scenario where SD Maid reaches a final version (if that is every happening).

Is there an issue with the current system?

The current Unlocker file is 74kb and the launcher icon can be hidden, so we would only gain one less entry in the list of installed apps.

Is that worth it? Not for me at least :(.

I know about the relevancy of the version code ;), but haven't though about it that way.

It's an intresting idea and i will take it into consideration.

I'm using eclipse, maybe there is a way to automaticly increase the numbers each time i export the app.
[Android Apps and Games] Mike B.:
I'm on a crusade to convince devs to use versionCode for ALL builds and not just the ones submitted to the Play Store! ;)

I have seen references to various Eclipse-compatible scripts to automate the process. I have no personal experience with those but they sound fairly painless. A Google search should find them for you but if not let me know and I can do some digging.
[Android Apps and Games] sabret00the:
No issue of any real importance. I'm just trying to lower the number of APKs I've got installed on the system and the unlocker APK is now quite a dated concept. Though if you do ever consider the IAP option, I do believe you can manually migrate licenses from those that bought the unlocker. I'm probably remembering incorrectly though. Thanks for the reply nonetheless.
[Android Apps and Games] DarkhShadow:
Problem is with IAP is that Google provides no way to remember if you bought it, ie if you uninstall the app then install again it you have to pay again.

Hm... the error is on the same line where the previous one was and it can't be caused by the current line that is there.

Either you are not on the latest version or i did not upload the latest version :D.

I will check this later when I'm at home.

Also can you send me an email? I'd like to send you specificly, a version to test before i upload it again.
[Android Apps and Games] Wombatino:
I just send you a pm
[Android Apps and Games] Dark3n:
Maybe in the future we can use the automated beta testing that Google present at the current I/O 2013 :), looked fancy.
[Android Apps and Games] sabret00the:
It's already available in the developer console Dark3n. Also the new drawer guidelines should help you realise the vision you have for SD Maid.
[Android Apps and Games] Dark3n:
Yup, awesome :).

Will finish a major project on wednesday, after that SD Maid will get some love.

According to the developer console, the beta/alpha rollout requires either a gmail group or a G+ community.

I'm probably going to make a community on G+ for people intrested in beta tests, the beta could be discussed there too.

It will probably force me to update the versionCodes everytime ;).
[Android Apps and Games] SecUpwN:
Nooo! Please do a Facebook fanpage too! ^^
[Android Apps and Games] sabret00the:
The group is for the beta, not for marketing. It's a Play Store requirement.
[Android Apps and Games] SecUpwN:
I don't care.
[Android Apps and Games] JohnnyEpic:
Just tried this out (from a tester side) for the Greenify app. Works well.
[Android Apps and Games] Mike B.:
Same here! As long as users understand that they don't have to get invovled with any other Google+ feature, it's a very convenient way to deal with betas.
[Android Apps and Games] JohnnyEpic:
Very true. Although I use g+ minimal some don't realize, Gmail account = g+ account. Go for it dev!
[Android Apps and Games] Mike B.:
No comment! ;)
[Android Apps and Games] Dark3n:
So lets get this going :).

If you already are on v2.0.3.0 you will not get an update as that is the current BETA in GPlay too.

I will upload a new version in a few days.
[Android Apps and Games] lostmyphone:
Great App. I'm a first time rooter and prefer this over TB to go through and (carefully/manually) delete .apk's.

My only question is when trying out AppControl to un-install it does not delete the corresponding .odex file. May or may not be a reason for this, not sure.
[Android Apps and Games] Dark3n:
Thats possible.

In the current beta version, the corpsefinder can remove odex files but it is not yet linked with the uninstall function of the AppControl tab.

Hello Dar3n.

I´m a realy fan of SD-Maid, very best cleaning tool for my Galaxy S4 I9505.

I used it on XXUAMDM Firmware and it works fine like before on my S2 and S3.

Now I have the new Firmware XXUAME2 and root and killed some Bloatware than use SD-Maid to kill rest of parts from delted Apps but he dont find any thing.

Will say I use the "Leichenfinder" eg. "corpse finder" and he scanns very short and say 0 :(

Is this a known problem that SD-Maid got with XXUAME2 on I9505 ???
[Android Apps and Games] ThugosaurusRex:
Great app, used in on my s4!
[Android Apps and Games] fAiLOfax:
Isn´t this worth an answer? :(
[Android Apps and Games] fAiLOfax:
OK, tested it myself:

Fresh XXUAME2 on Galaxy S4 I9505 = SD-Maid works (limited because no root).

Then I flashed ROOT because SDMaid need it to work fully = SD-Maid dosn´t find anything at "corpse finder" aso. LOL

recognized problem! ;))
[Android Apps and Games] Ci-Fi:
Patience. It has only been 7 hours since you asked your question. Some of us are located in different time zones.
[Android Apps and Games] fAiLOfax:
Oh yes, sorry for my impatience! :cyclops:

But now we are one step further... :D
[Android Apps and Games] Dark3n:
Please state what version of SD Maid you are using.

There are major differences between the current market version and the beta.

What do you expect SD Maid to find? Isn't it possible that there is nothing?

You could create a random folder in "/data/data" and see if the CorpseFinder picks it up.
[Android Apps and Games] fAiLOfax:
HI Daren!

I Used Version 2023 (from Backup) and 2030 too.

But I yesterday flashed the Adam Kernel and today I start doing a random folder in data/data and it finds a lot of stuff including the random folder! :)

Everything works now, but I don't know if it is about the Adam Kernel. No idea, but it works!

Thank you for that little Masterpiece !!!
[Android Apps and Games] Dark3n:
Did you just exchange the kernel? Or did you flash a ROM that included the new kernel?

I'm getting reports from Galaxy S4 (VZW) owners that the SystemCleaner is not scanning.

If anyone here experiences the same, please send me a log of the scan.
[Android Apps and Games] Dedokrus:
Thanks for your programm
[Android Apps and Games] fAiLOfax:
I flashed the Adam Kernel over the Stock Kernel and than SD-maid works! ;)
[Android Apps and Games] Dark3n:
If you ever go back to the stock kernel and have some spare time i would still like to get to the bottom of this.
[Android Apps and Games] fAiLOfax:
Today I have to recover my System because I Tested something else and that dosn´t work.

I have had an older Backup for this were the stock kernel is on. Same thing, SD-Maid found nothing.

Than I flashed the Adam Kernel and it works out of the box!

With the older firmware XXUAMDM SD-maid works fine, I think Samsung has made major changes to his new Kernel and Firmware!

Heavy but really looks so! :(

This is an issue with the stock kernel (some custom kernels work).

TLDR: Douchbag move by Samsung.

I doubt there is a solution to this that is within the scope of SD Maid.
[Android Apps and Games] fAiLOfax:
Flash

Adam Kernel

and everything works with

SD-Maid

(if you can live with the "modifyed" status in System Info)!

You can also turn OFF "Andoid Logger" with the STweaks App that come with it, that might give a little more speed and better battery usage!
