[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ahkow:
If we install/uninstall any apps, will the uninstall really clean/delete all the files from the system memory? For PC software sometimes it leaves something in the registry key or system directory.

Will Android has the same issue?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nokiamodeln91:
althou android doesnt have a registry.. i have seen that some apps leave their custom folders and files in the usb storage... which i have to find and delete manually.. mainly games and other apps that download data after installation
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] curiousmurf:
I'm also interested to know about this too...with Windows I'm pretty careful with what to install as I don't like too many un/installs...curious to know how Android handles many un/installs...
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rnd0m:
Based on my experience there are many leftovers even after un-install. One suggestion is to use the 'Clear Data' button before uninstalling an app. However, even after this there will be leftovers esp in the sdcard\Android folder.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ahkow:
Left over under Android folder still manageable, my worry is it left something in the restricted folder where we have no access unless we root. Is matter of time run out of internal memory until factory rest.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zeneziz:
it depend on what kinda that you use. some apps will left empty folders when you uninstall it.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] capitansid:
same here

I actually have the same worry with my phone since I keep on trying different apps.. I just "clean data" and "clean cache" for the app before I uninstall it and I dont have problems with that..
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] knedge:
The tool that I use is SDmaid. It helps me in identifying leftover folders and app debries. You can automatically delete them using the app.

Worked fine for me.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ahkow:
I tried SD Maid, it did help to free out at least 200+Mb of internal memory. Cool..
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] capitansid:
Most of the time, the biggest "trash" SD maid cleans up is the Gallery thumbnails..

Soooo when you startup your gallery app again, it regenerates the thumbnails so youre back to square one.. LOL
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ahkow:
I am referring to internal memory, it freed up about 200+MB from program cache. Correct, the thumb view file (another 200+MB) from gallery reside at sd card will rebuild after delete.

Funny thing is wipe cache at CWM won't free up the internal memory.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PJ147:
I've noticed on ics that games and some apps leave folders on the usb storage. Gb used to remove them..
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JoelChanning:
For a specific case...

phone had installed the free version of AutomateIt.

Uninstalled it by: "clear cache", "clear data", force stop", and then "uninstall". Then rebooted phone.

A bit later searching the storage noticed a "AutomateIt" folder in Device Storage.

The AutomateIt folder contains a subfolder "Backups", which contains 3 files (all .AiR files). (two are 1kb, one is 0kb) .

Is it safe to manually delete these files and folders?

Are there any apps similar to SDmaid but for unrooted phones? (no root yet for Atrix HD, so not even an option)
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] foolukluk:
Some apps leave behind files or folders no matter what you do. I just manually remove them using a file explorer.

This is my observation. Hope this helps.

Hello everyone! The time has come for me to get a small server and see just how popular this project website will be. Our company got a big payday and now its time to give back by providing a new Rom service exclusively to the big teams, only for now. The most popular Rom teams will get 10gb for their team. Please contact me via PM if interested and the name of the site is RomDump.

Currently the site is online but I am rebuilding a whole new beta site with a different platform which is more flexible then that script.

I followed your instructions concerning the 5-icon app drawer, pulled, recompiled and pushed my touchwiz launcher three times now but I could not make the drawer show five icons after saving :(.

I modified /smali/com/sec/android/app/twlauncher/AppShortcutZone.smali and changed line 3321 containing "const/4 v8, 0x3" to "const/4 v8, 0x4" as per your instruction. Is this the correct line (there are about 4 references to const/4 v8 on my smali file).

Update: It seems your instructions are incomplete. I managed to do it by also changing const/4 v6, 0x3 as well.

Here's a screenshot of my mods so far:

As you can see, it is 4x4. Still working on the measurements though as the text below the last row doesn't show nicely :(. I'll post the guide here as soon as I get it right.

[Captivate General] Klitoni:
Hello !

I have read several articles in where people use different methods to charge theyr battery.Maybe it has been talken in XDA too but i havent found nothing that regards charging

How do u charge the battery ?U keep the level from 90 % to 50 % and once a month u fully discharge and than fully charge ?

Or u fully charge it after it shuts off cause of low battery?

Thanks
[Captivate General] Rexdango:
I'm a bit of a battery abuser, I tend to charge randomly when I think it will be under heavy load such as long drive in the car listening to music I will plug it in with my cigarette usb adapter thingy..

Most other times just plug it into my laptop. My habit for discharging and turning it on until it dont turn back on is maybe every couple weeks to a month if I remember to. Bout that time is when I start cycling out old apps I don't use and just maintaining clean phone status.
[Captivate General] 4-2ndtwin:
...Wall charger every night, all night, while still on, while I sleep. Been doing it this way for 2 years and still using the original battery.

[Captivate General] casper846969:
I use USB to charge my phone I plug it in at night around 9 and it's good around 10am then I unhook it. It stays good till about 6 or 7 pm
[Captivate General] laughingT:
Lithium Ion batteries don't have memory effect, so the only reason to run a complete drain and recharge is if the battery fuel gage needs calibration.

I leave mine on the AC or USB charger everynight. The Captivate's power management chip reduces the charging current when the battery approaches full. After becoming fully charged, it stops charging for an hour or two, waiting until the voltage has dropped about 0.1 V, then resumes the small trickle charge until full again.

You want to avoid getting the battery too hot, because that will reduce battery life (life= number of battery charge cycles). I have an alarm set in battery monitor widget (bmw) when the battery temp is 45 degrees C or higher. you can get bmw or other battery tools on Google Play.

[Captivate General] Klitoni:
It is my second time that i fully drain and fully charge my battery.

It is wrong what im doing ?
[Captivate General] laughingT:
I don't think of it as right or wrong. You don't need to drain it all the way or charge it to 100% if it is not convenient.

I put my phone on the charger at night even if the battery is 60% or more full, with the phone on. I want it at 100% in the morning. During the day, it often gets charged while I am driving or when I am using my laptop. Is is seldom fully charged during the day, and it rarely gets drained all the way.

I have four batteries for my Captivate, because the original seemed sorta crappy, and I found supposed-OEM batteries pretty cheap on Amazon.

My micro-USB port seems to have taken a crap, and the phone will no longer charge via that method. So basically, I have an extra-battery wall charger going all the time, and I swap batteries whenever the battery in the phone dies.

Hi Guys.. I bought my wife The S2 as I birthday present and so far she loves it so I told her if I could root it for her that she would love it even more, me coming from the Sprint's Epic 4G I was pretty happy with all the dev work, (Roms, Kernels,Mods etc) So I figure that S2 would have somewhat the same amount of followers and deving. but it seems that most of Roms are a bit old... there are a few kernels (discontinued anyway) so I was wondering if most of devs that worked in this device move to the S3 instead..it got me thinking about gettting my wife the S3 instead....

Please don't take this as a complain, it's mostly an observation...I don't mean no disrespect.

From the above link

----------------------------

The long-awaited roll-out appears to have commenced, with lucky GS III owners in Poland being among the first to get an early official taste of Android 4.1.1. If you hadn't heard, the update will bring a host of subtle yet powerful improvements, including Google Now for anticipating search queries, smooth UI improvements from Project Butter, as well as some Samsung extras already seen on the Galaxy Note II, such as a resizable Pop-up play screen. Hopefully this means the update will soon be sent on its merry way to GS IIIs in other parts of the Old World, and maybe at some point -- dare we suggest it -- those in the US too.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] manatti:
When I worked at Verizon we used to test software deeply and daily. Verizon is very picky and minimizes as many big as possible. Honestly, the updates are never perfect as the manufacturer will read the reports we sent in and approve what bugs are left based on time frame for release, if the manufacturer says release it, then Verizon hq gives the yay on it. These oems sometimes allow huge bugs to get out there. (Eh hem, moto before google) I think the other carriers may not test as hard core as vzw. I miss that job.
