Added: I've added a grace period that keeps the pro status for a bit, when upgrading via Google Play In-App purchase, as Google Play does not reliably return IAP data.
Fixed: Api level check. Some devices where crashing due to supplying inconsistent version information (faking higher Android versions).
Fixed: Read check for single files/directories when using SAF mode. It always returned exists=true, afaict it only affected copy/move within the explorer.
Explorer
Fixed: Crash when trying to copy/move some files that require SAF mode.
AppCleaner
Improved: ACS matching on Android 12 for pl.
SD Maid v5.3.8 29.11.2021
Core
Improved: Translations.
Fixed: Crash during SAF setup. If the newer storage API don't return a path for a StorageVolume, we now try the legacy (reflection-based) APIs as fallback.
Fixed: Crash on faulty ROMs, where an API is not available despite the Android version being high enough.
Fixed: Crash when deleting files and the storage state changes, after search but before deletion, e.g. storage being mounted/unmounted/ejecting. We'll now just skip such a file, results in most tools correctly refect the deletion failure, as X items remaining/skipped.
Improved: Additional debug output and code changes to make it easier for be to debug permission issues on specific ROMs.
Fixed: Permission setup for Android/data on OnePlus devices with Android 11+ (Thanks Craig).
AppControl
Fixed: App estates showing all potential folders belonging to an app instead of just those that exist.
StorageAnalyzer
Fixed: /data/data being empty on Android 11+, SD Maid will apply --mount-master when scanning /data to circumvent the bind mount from /data_mirror #5201).
Added: Restored access to Android/data on Android 11 & 12 (#5183).
Improved: Fixed files on sdcard not being deletable on some ROMs due to storage write access detection defaulting to NORMAL instead of using SAF during write check, but not read check (#5179).
Improved: Translations.
Improved: Scan speed by optimizing root check.
Improved: SAF permission setup should be simpler now on Android 9,10,11 and 12. Window should open on the correct path.
Improved: File crawling performance when using SAF access.
SystemCleaner
Improved: ANR filter.
QuickAccess
Improved: Hint to enable accessibility service now also shows when using the button bar at the bottom (#5178).
StorageAnalyzer
Improved: Scan on Android 11 & 12, inclusion of Android/data. Note that Android/obb is currently not supported on Android 11 & 12.
Fixed: Read access determination code erroneously returning NORMAL on some rooted ROMs for locations such as /data (SD Maid should always use root permission for /data if available).
AppCleaner
Added: New filter for code_cache folders.
Improved: ACS matching for Samsung & OnePlus ROMs.
StorageAnalyzer
Fixed: Lookup of /data not using root on some rooted ROMs.
Fixed: Crash during setup wizard due to some devices not supporting the standard AOSP activity intent Settings.ACTION_MANAGE_ALL_FILES_ACCESS_PERMISSION (!?).
Fixed: Fixed crash on storage initialization. NPE on some ROMs where SD Maid tried to read ids and labels for storages from the system API via reflection.
Fixed: Crash when trying to the storage index/home view (NPE due to bad case switch between normal file items and the home item representing all storages).
Duplicates
Fixed: Crash when trying to calculate the checksum for a deleted file (could happen when multiple SD Maid tools are run simultaneously.
Added: SAF based read-access for secondary storages on Android 5-10. Previously SD Maid could only support a secondary storage if readable through normal Java-file access, where SAF access was only required for write/delete actions. Now SD Maid supports storages that are just readable using the storage access framework (SAF).
Improved: Translations.
Improved: Clutter database.
Improved: Storage access on Android 11&12.
Changed: Debug menu.
Fixed: Crash when updating widget.
Explorer
Improved: Explorer bookmark refresh behavior, default bookmarks should be reloaded automatically once SD Maid has scanned for storages.
Fixed: Crash due to UI update on background thread.
AppControl
Improved: Task feedback when creating shortcuts.
CorpseFinder
Improved: Dalvik-* filter support for Android 11+.
SystemCleaner
Improved: Support for Android 11+.
Improved: Support for secondary storages.
AppCleaner
Improved: Recycle-bin filter.
Improved: ACS matching on various ROM/language combinations.
Fixed: Navigation drawer somtimes not reflecting pro status.
Fixed: A few random crashes on app launch related to async background checks for IAPs.
AppControl
Added: New feature Custom action. You can input labels in AppControl settings, and then execute Custom action on one or more selected apps. Example: Input the labels Disable + Disable app and use it to batch disable multiple apps (Demo Video).
Improved: Reworked some internal structures related to initating the AppControl tool.
Fixed: Crash during storage detection on certain ROMs. Previous changes allowed for duplicate sdcard storage elements which got caught during later validiation (as it should be) and lead to a crash.
Improved: Clutter database (Ty u/Ingood5 & u/adsakeme on GitHub).
Changed: Because it was apparently not obvious enough, the "permanently skip" option in the initial setup will now pop-open once.
AppCleaner
Improved: Hidden caches filters.
Improved: Advertisements filter.
Improved: Better ACS compatibility with OPPO devices (#3864).
Improved: Matching for Polish on Samsung API 29+ ROMs.
Fixed: A bug where SD Maid would not correctly try all available fallback mechanisms for some language & ROM combinations when using the accessibility service.
Improved: Update clutter database (Ty u/Ingood5 on GitHub).
Improved: Fixed minor UI issues.
Improved: Added accessibility service setup to setup flow, can be skipped. If the accessibility service and usage stats permission are enabled, AppCleaner will automatically enable the features that use it, unless explicitly disabled (i.e. not on default values).
Fixed: Crash when trying to detect file ownership in some scenarios on rooted Android 11 devices.
Explorer
Fixed: Wrong message being used for the force media scan result (4096).
AppControl
Fixed: Task result snackbars and dialogs being shown inconsistently (#4158).
CorpseFinder
Fixed: Crash when using nested exclusions (#3952).
SystemCleaner
Fixed: Filter order being inconsistent (now sorted by title, #3862).
Fixed: Filter export sometimes not showing a result message (#4092).
