[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MisterKanister:
Hi,

I was thinking about what a real good android junk file cleaner should be able to clean/find (no matter if such tools already exist or not) and what the prerequesites are.

So far I've "identified" the following possibilities :silly: :

Unnecessary log files

Located in: /data/data/*.log

Requirements: requires root to be able to clean there

System log files

Located in: /data/log/*

Requirements: requires root to be able to clean there

Empty folders

Located in: everywhere in /storage/sdcard or extSdCard

Requirements: -

Cache

Located in: /cache/*

Requirements: maybe root, not sure now

Temporary files

Located in: /data/*.tmp

Requirements: requires root to be able to clean there

Thumbnails

Located in: /DCIM/.thumbnails/*

Requirements: -

usagestats

Located in: /data/system/usagestats/*

Requirements: root

Tombstones

Located in: /data/tombstones/*

Requirements: root

3rd party app caches

Located in: /data/data/package-name/cache/*

Requirements: root

Temporary/Downloaded APKs

Located in: /data/app/*.apk

Requirements: root

Forgotten/obsolete app data (after uninstallation of app)

Located in: How to scan for that?

Requirements: -

I would like you to share your thoughts with me:

- Do you think of deleting/cleaning the mentioned files is safe? Do you think the mentioned locations & requirements are right?

- Can you think of any other cleaning possibilities, filetypes or locations?

- Do you know how one can identify orphaned app-data, which remains even if the app was uninstalled?

Thanks for thoughts & comments! :good:

P.S.: I don't think of this as a real question, it's more a discussion I hope :confused:

thanks for the link!

But regardless of already existing apps, I just wanted to know if you think this cleaning list is complete or if you have other ideas or know of other files which make Android slower or use unecessary disk space.

Hey guys,

does anyone knows what Galaxy-S3 widget this clock is?

is that widget only for Samsungs marketing or can i get it? (freeware or payware)

or is that widget "only" on the S3???

thx

oz

(sorry for my bad english :cyclops: )
[Samsung Galaxy Gio GT-S5660] amanb7:
I think this is s3 clock widget... !!

View attachment 1765890
[Samsung Galaxy Gio GT-S5660] ozfriend:
I dont think so :(

this widget was used in a commercial from Samsung
[Samsung Galaxy Gio GT-S5660] voetbalremco:
its not the S3 that is beiing sold internationally, this one looks kinda odd.

maybe a US AT&T or verizon 4G branded samsung model, as samsung still uses the traditional "galaxy" design with 2 touch buttons and in the middle a physical home button, like our gio.
[Samsung Galaxy Gio GT-S5660] ozfriend:
ok, maybe its a branded model.... how knows? ;)

but I´m looking for the widget on the screen. I like it very much... and i want it, but unfortunately i dont know it´s name :(

maybe its only a commercial picture.... (i hope not)

[Microsoft Surface] Hardcore73:
Out of all my devices that I have and have used my Surface Pro has the most quiet external speakers of them all.

Try to play a Netflix movie or show and have anything else going on around you and you won't even be able to hear it.

It's great with head phones on but I use this all the time for watching shows and movies while working out. Its so quiet I have to use headphones when I am on the treadmill or I cannot hear it playing while the treadmill is on.

I hope Microsoft addresses this on the next model.

Love my Surface Pro, it is by far the best device I have used so I can easily live with the sound issue.

If your are thinking about buying it, stop reading this, go to a store or order from their site and get one NOW.

I own a network technology company and handle IT support for a lot of companies and I can do everything on this (using it to type right now) that I could do with a full blown PC setup. I have also owned every tablet, laptop, and device that has ever come out so trust me when I say it is great.

This unit has replaced my Lenovo Yoga 13, and my Samsung Ativ 500 and 700 with no issues. I have also had every Samsung and Asus tablet and this is a bad boy. This also includes the Tab and Note series.
[Microsoft Surface] dinan:
Hey not sure if this will help you but it works well on things that are low volume at the source.

Go to your sound settings in the control panel, go to speaker properties, then enhancements, then enable "Loudness Equalization" and click settings and set the "Release Time" to shortest.

This might actually make your videos sound worse through headphones but when using the external speakers it normalizes the volume so that extremely low sounds are louder and extremely loud sounds are softer.

Also this might not work well with applications that have built-in sound normalization like MPC-HC so you might want to only enable it when you're watching netflix or youtube or other flash based media that doesn't have built in normalization.
[Microsoft Surface] bountygiver:
IMO the sound's loud enough, louder than all my tablets and my old dell laptop. But definitely softer than my brother's MSI gaming laptop.
[Microsoft Surface] C-Lang:
RT is the same. Bummer, but oh well. I use a Belkin bluetooth receiver with my old computer speakers, works GREAT! :good:
[Microsoft Surface] SixSixSevenSeven:
Hmm, sounds like a good idea for me actually. Might have to invest in one.
[Microsoft Surface] Timelord83:
You sir.. where do I send beer money.. My Surface is finally louder than a mute mouse.. YAY
[Microsoft Surface] GoodDayToDie:
For what it's worth, if you have an original Surface Pro or the Pro 2, you may be able to use Ears (https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/1463948377/ears-for-the-surface-tablets). They're not on sale yet (and the Kickstarter project has ended) but they should be available for purchase after the KS backers receive theirs.

I don't know if the Surface Pro 3 will be supported though.
[Microsoft Surface] sandywag:
You ROCK!!! Thank you so much!

Thank you so much! You have no idea how much grief that has caused. That is something that has driven me crazy since the day I got my Surface! Now I love my Surface :)
[Microsoft Surface] spicy_puerto_rican:
The same would go for the (new) Microsoft Surface Pro 3 as well. The sound is truly NOT loud enough at its max volume and "loudness" setting.

Solution:

- Get a portable USB headphone DAC amp like the FiiO E18 or something comparable for your SP3 and/or phone/mp3 player that's smaller if a smaller size is your forte.

FYI:

I always use my Shure SE846 IEM's for earphones with my SP3 and phone... as they will blow your mind to smithereens. At $1000 retail, I expected nonetheless and I was highly pleased when I upgraded from the Shure SE215 earphones to these professional-grade IEM's. Before buying my SE846's, I read at www.head-fi.org that these IEM's NEED an external amp I bought the Fiio E18 Kunlun. After listening to the same songs WITH the FiiO USB DAC amp... I was truly dumbfounded. At times, when using my SP3 with the Fii0 amp I have to turn the volume down at the start of some songs because it gives me a headache from some of the songs being a little bit too bass heavy. So to whoever reads this... pass along the info to everyone you know with tablets, home theater systems (with separate receivers), laptops, desktops, and ALL versions of the Microsoft Surface tablets that you WILL NEED an external USB amp! DAC amps are technically better but a regular USB-powered or external portable built-in rechargeable earphone amp will work. The FiiO E18 gives me like 16 hours of hi-fi music when fully charged too.

[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] chiefy009:
I have had all major Sony phones over the last few years starting with the x10, Ray, arc s, xperia s and now the T

I have decided to get a Samsung S3 and switch aligance to Samsung the slow development and Sony support being the main reason
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] matt4321:
Don't blame you, the T is a good device but loads of carriers lock down the bootloader, I can't unlock mine so development is limited for people like us, kinda sucks, I was debating between the S3 and T, may have made the wrong decision but hopefully an unofficial unlock will come our way
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] chiefy009:
Even with the bootloader unlocked there is t much to flash or developing
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] Nimche:
Good luck pal, do what suites you the best. I moved to Nexus 4 and now I am back. Actually I found out that I like moderate development and not so many that you can't choose from anymore.

Sony has been having this issue but I haven't found a real replacement in terms of design. SG III is nice (not my taste)
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] chiefy009:
I love Sony design it's just the development is so poor and the updates so slow
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] fredaroony:
Funny because I went the other way, for now at least because I get bored easily and my 8 phones demonstrate that. The funny thing is that I'm using a Sony theme on my Nexus.

Have to say it's great getting the latest software with the Nexus after feeling quite burnt by Sony and HTC.
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] gregbradley:
Dont blame sony for the lack of development.

If you want to see more development why dont you try doing some yourself. Everyone on this site does it for free, we dont owe you anything. It would be nice to see people who complain about the lack of something actually trying it themselves.

Do you think the devs (And others like me who dip our toes into it) were born knowing this stuff? No, we learned it as we went along by trying stuff and sharing things that worked....its all a learning curve
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] mundy725:
+1
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] chiefy009:
Did I say anyone owed me?

I did miui Roms for the ray themes for arc and x10

Wind your neck in son it's people like you that get on my nerves I never had a go at anyone or expected anything so just because you comment on nearly every post you think you can have a pop at me? I am not complaining merely stating a fact development is slow and while people like you think you have a go at people like me more people will not bother with the forum and change phones like I am
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] gregbradley:
My post was polite, no need for me to wind my neck in.

If you developed in the past you should understand how your comments come across. Also, your knowledge would help develop some MIUI roms for the T (Is there one yet?) maybe thats an opportunity for some extra development.

Regards,

Greg
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] chiefy009:
Maybe and apologise it felt like an attack

Yeah I see how my comments could be took but recently there was a big think made by some of the old x10 guys about this phone and it's development I thought there would have been more

My phone is going Friday so no chance for me to get a miui rom done

Sorry again
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] gregbradley:
No problems.

Maybe this thread caught me at a bad point as I have just been speaking to a user via PM who is (How can i say it?) less than thankfull to me for my input to helping him out personally.

Anyway, I too had an x10 and there was great expectation for the development here that I will admit does seem slow. (Not heard anything from Adam Outler since his thread about getting the T)

I didnt mean to attack, so apology accepted and no hard feelings. Enjoy your new phone and if you ever come back it will be nice to see a MIUI rom here.
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] Duvel999:
I had a x10, a Arc. Have a Xperia P & a T.

Always been happy with SE & Sony, they make very good quality phones. But were slow with development of Android updates. Had several Samsungs. Imho SGS 3 is a cheap large plastic piece. But thats my personal opinion. l had one & sold it. The SGS 4 Iooks promising. I hope you'll enjoy it. Wish you the best.
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] josephnero:
I can port MIUI if need be.lol.we have fully functional CM so its easy.problem is i dont want to unlock my TL-rex and i dont even know if it can be unlocked or not

PS:in fact any advanced user (not developer as iam not really a dev )can do it.if anyone is interested i can point to right guides
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] chiefy009:
The development thread looks like a Rom grave yard so many roms unfinished and now people will be jumping to the Z most won't get finished

Shame I thought the bond phone would have more interest in it than it has had
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] charlatan01:
Tell you what.. with Sony being so open about sharing source code and all drivers, it won't be too long before there's an infusion of devs from Sammy devices. Maybe the Z, maybe the next flagship, but I think some will make the transition as more quality phones come out.
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] lee480:
Oh no! Another rant thread.

Sony's update is relatively fast. Samsung only updated its flagships. What about the others? Think of the big picture before shooting.
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] DooMLoRD:
I have known you guys since the x10 days... The x10 community was huge compared to any other Xperia community...

What I would say is that everyone has their own preferences... Chiefy is a flash-o-holic... So probably it's Best that you get a device like the Nexus 4...

As for others it's totally upto you as to what you want...

Also please don't start fighting... It's more of misunderstanding than anything else...

[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] wednesday13:
Funny I went the other way. In my s3, kept flashing roms after a week

There's not much to improve with the stock rom. And thats a fact

I can feel it LOL

Anyway good luck on S3
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] MrTapa:

[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] cjna:

[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] y2grae:
i came to sony xperia T after losing my one x and not having my travel insurance cover it !!!! (never using them again)

I found the one x roms too many and unpolished... bugs with everything i found. however some were nicer than others.

am not the greatest fan of cm10,

1) there are more roms on oneX

2) most of them are similar dev stage to xperia T

3) camera on htc was pants in comparisson

4) official jb on sony is about seventeen times better than most of the oneX roms.

I can see how the OP was meant and was taken... I read it as a moan/complaint thread, however can see how it was meant as just factual.

there have been a few "where are the roms?" threads on this xperia t forum...

simple answer has been stated.... 1) get different phone or 2) make own rom or 3) live with it.

Personally, i think sony with the roms here, makes htc look like a noobland phone... slow updates and lots of development on older firmwares...

just my 2 pence.... and for the record, i will be upgrading to either a nexus or another xperia when my time comes :)
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] Entropy512:
Yup. I disagree that there is no development on the T - the big difference is that unlike the utter cesspool of gloryhounds in the Nexus development forums, the T has developers who actually *cooperate for the good of everyone*. As a result, instead of 10 different "stock with build.prop hacks", you have developers working on actually doing new things. See lilstevie's LK work, see the number of people contributing to CM10 (seriously, there are 2-3 times as many CM10 contributors on the T as there are for any Samsung Exynos device).

There's also the fact that Samsung treats the development community like **** - just look at the Superbrick disaster. I received more honest answers from Sony engineers in the first week of working with Sony devices as I did in my entire time of working with Samsung. (I did receive plenty of outright lies from Samsung, such as "we don't need to provide kernel source for UEALGB as that was a leak" - Mind you, UEALGB for the Note 10.1 was PREINSTALLED ON EVERY DEVICE SOLD IN THE USA ON LAUNCH DAY.

There's already an infusion of developers from Sammy devices - every single CM maintainer for Exynos devices except Espenfjo has a T (and he's got a Nexus 4) and most of us are getting the Z too. (to be honest, once the current hurdles of the T are surpassed, I expect the T and Z to both be well maintained - the APQ8064 is actually very similar to the MSM8x60 - kinda similar to how Exynos GS2 and GS3 devices are often receiving improvements in parallel.)

Yeah. Sony's stock is hard to beat, really AOSP/CM is the only way you're gonna beat it.

As to CM10.1 - Yeah, a few mistakes were made and some ambitious experiments proved to be failures. **** happens, but at least the maintainers are still motivated to move forward, completely unlike the Exynos GS2/GS3 devices where the CM maintainers are sick and tired of the unending bull**** and those devices are on life support with respect to CM.
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] chiefy009:
When the time comes to renew my phone i will probably be back to sony thjnking about it

Onky gone with htc as never had one and can afford one sim free
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] emuX:
Just chipping in with my 2 cents worth...

I totally understand where the OP is coming from. I came to the Xperia T from the Galaxy Note. With the Samsung device I wanted to flash constantly and that carried over to the XT to some extent so I was initially disappointed by the comparable lack of activity. Not blaming the devs as they do great work and I really appreciate their efforts.

The difference for me was that the XT works - great camera, great features, good audio, etc. - and already feels polished so I stopped feeling the need to flash. With Samsung I always felt the 'next' ROM would make me happy but it never quite did. With Sony, I'm pretty happy with the stock ROM (after some app-based fettling) and don't feel the need to meddle. Something you'll definitely miss on A Samsung device is a good camera - the XT takes some beating, especially the enhancements on the JB ROM!
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] elspanish88:
But Sony are great with releasing sources I have an S3 and we don't even have a stable cm10.1 as Samsung won't release proper sources for it. Stick with Sony, get the xperia Z
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] MrTapa:
Better wait for the One. Cause of sense 5(the only goodlooking sense). And in my opinion once you have liked the Sony's uxp. Its hard to use touchwiz or sense. However I like Sense 5 from the previews. And you had ray like me. I am not sure if you checked my rom there. But its coming to T:) And mainly you have AOSP on Sony Based JB;)

Never liked sony ui and touch wiz is dreadful did like windows 8 just same os was poor with limites apps

[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] cmajetic:
AW: Leaving Sony for good

changed from s3 to T and am super happy.

the s3 might have 100 roms but the only ones that work quite good are stock ones modified (which are all like the same). and the stock Sony jb is much smoother and faster than them and cm10 is working well too, on s3 it sucks.

better have a few nice roms than very much laggy ones full of bugs imo.

doomlord is now developing a nice kernel and I think we will have a nice working cm10.1 too in some time.
