AppCleaner

• Fixed: Some exclusions were unnecessarily prevented from being applied.

• Improved: Reverted previous workarounds that have been fixed in newer Android P releases.
• Improved: Small changes to used sentences and words within the settings UI elements.

• Improved: Better icon for the filter options (in the future we could consolidate the options & filters and then make a shortcut to that).
• Improved: Added exclusion routines VERY early on such that apps that cause the search to slow down to a crawl can be effectively excluded (#1571).

• Improved: When working on databases that have multiple owners, SD Maid should now correctly suspend and resume ALL known owners.
• Improved: Database settings have been moved into their own module which allows for a reset feature (and future backup functionality).
• Changed: System apps are no longer included by default, and require opt-in via settings. Potential issue: If the Skip running apps option is not checked on a rooted device, it could come to a situation where SD Maid pauses a system process to work on it's database which can make the system unstable until reboot. While this is very rare to occur, SD Maids default settings should prioritize safety. Power users can just enable it via settings (#1562).
• Fixed: When checking which app owns a database we shouldn't exclude owners that are marked as COMMON (which are apps that own folders that have such common names that we can't reasonably use the information for deletion, database operations are different though, so we shouldn't ignore them).
• Fixed: An edge cases where SD Maid end up working on a database even if the app, that we think owns the database, is not installed. The issue here is that it's likely that the database is owned by another (unknown) app and we can't skip or pause it then.
• Fixed: Searching the UI not always returning the expected entries.

Scheduler

• Fixed: Side-effect between different toggle buttons (#1669).

• Improved: If the statistics database corrupts, it now automatically resets itself.
• Changed: SD Maids external tasks system to a simpler approach, previously functionality was overkill and convoluted. This should have positive effect on scheduler and widget actions. If it never worked on a specific ROM before, it might now.

• Improved: SD Maid will no longer require a preinstalled system binary on devices that don't have a default chmod applet (though this is bad in any case and the user should install a system toybox/busybox to fix their chmod applet).
• Fixed: Mountpoint detection fallback solution not working due to unexpected output format (#522).
• Fixed: Crash if the api call for external storages returns an array containing a null value (#519).
• Fixed: Failure to detect mountpoints from user perspective if SD Maid employed RootFS injection to use it's binary with root (#521).

SD Maid v4.3.0 - 02.09.2016 (BETA)

Core

• Added: Adaptive support for different (core-utils providing) binaries, currently "toybox" and "busybox".
• Added: Added support for location "/oem" (#441 Ty randomname1234).
• Added: Option to toggle animations (currently only coffee drinking).
• Added: If SD Maid is running in the background but requires setup via user action, operations are canceled and a notification is displayed (#435 Ty sjoshua270).
• Added: SD Maids file forensics can now get clutter markers from dynamic sources. This means that in addition to static sources (i.e. a database with entries), there are now dynamic sources that can generate clutter markers without explicitly knowing an app.
• Added: Dynamic clutter sources for .UTSystemConfig and .EveryplayCache.
• Improved: Accuracy of size calculation when deleting files of which some failed to be deleted (or don't exist anymore).
• Improved: Clutter database (dozen of new entries).
• Improved: Clutter database format to better cover multiple apps with the same clutter.
• Improved: Updated all of SD Maids dependencies and libraries.
• Improved: Instead of tapping out with a "busybox error", SD Maid will now relinquish root access if the current toybox/busybox setup is not root compatible (#442).
• Improved: Both busybox and toybox can be used by SD Maid and both types of binaries will be tried as fallback solution (#452).
• Improved: Reduced SD Maids resource (RAM/CPU) consumption by reducing the amount of shells that are kept open. Reading files now shares a shell with all other operations (delete, move, copy etc).
• Improved: Operation results (ok, skipped, failed) now only show values that are non zero.
• Improved: Speed of file object creation, some calls be done in a more effective order and a few memory optimizations weren't effective.
• Improved: File forensics performance, less information is (i.e. App name) is requested during research and deferred to be gathered when it is actually needed.
• Improved: Reduced memory use by reducing the footprint of the clutter matching (simpler objects).
• Improved: Ownership detection. In some cases SD Maid will now match "fixed paths" -> "variable packagenames", previousy we could only match "fixed package names" -> "variable pathes". Example: Match "/sdcard/.strawberry/eu.thedarken.sdm" without specifically having a database entry for "eu.thedarken.sdm").
• Improved: Busybox error screen shows more device infos and a better explanation.
• Improved: Logging. Reduced logging in production builds and adjusted logging priorities to be more useful (verbose vs debug).
• Fixed: Task results not showing correct amount of failed deletions.
• Fixed: "Double tap to exit" toast not being correctly themed (#438 Ty TWiStErRob).
• Fixed: Shell data not being disregarded directly if data is streamed instead of buffered. This should reduce peak memory consumption during scan for SystemCleaner, Duplicates, Biggest and Databases.
• Fixed: Commands failing that use remounting on Android 6.0+. Multiple mount commands were used to guarantee reliable execution on different devices, but on some the toybox binary segfault. This would cause any command using remounting to end up with a segfault (139) errorcode. SD Maid now checks if the toybox binary segfaults during setup.
• Fixed: A racecondition where the FAB become visible when SD Maid started executing a task triggered from list multiselection.
• Fixed: Shell operation (move/create) failing if the the target path was a symlink pointing to a read-only partition with a different path (e.g. /vendor -> /system/vendor).
• Fixed: Random crashes related to inflating the menu in each tools toolbar, possibly related to devices with hardware menu-buttons.
• Fixed: Crash related to a race-condition between UI input (e.g. clicks) and UI state.
• Fixed: Crash if SD Maid could not find any locations of type SDCARD but tried use the data to build sub-locations such as PUBLIC_DATA.
• Changed: Instead of file length, "size on filesystem" is now used to calculate the amount of space freed by a deletion. You will notice that with the exception of sparse-files, deletion will show slightly (blocksize) increased amounts of freed space, especially when deleting lots of small files.
• Changed: SD Maid now ships with toybox instead of busybox (leaner and fixes #451).
• Changed: Log files are now stored in SD Maids cache instead of files folder (i.e. /sdcard/Android/data/eu.thedarken.sdm/cache/logfiles).
• Changed: If root access is available, SD Maid will skip asking for storage access via the storage-access-framework (SAF).

QuickAccess

• Fixed: Database tool still requiring confirmation despite single-pass option activated.

Overview

• Added: If SD Maid relinquihes root access to avoid a busybox/toybox error the root state will display this (#442).
• Changed: Refresh no longer reloads the storage manager, it is now only refreshed once per session.

• Added: Details dialog, currently a bit rough, will be expanded later on.
• Added: Files now show both blocksize (size file actually occupies) and file length (size file says it is), if this value differs. The format is size on storage (file length).
• Fixed: Pathbar at the top not updating correctly when switching to the Explorer from a different tool, directly loading that path (#439).
• Fixed: Creating dirs/files not updating directory content correctly without extra refresh.
• Fixed: Directory content not updating correctly after deletion.
• Fixed: Paste action causing change to parent directory.
• Fixed: Trying to remount a source as rw if we are only copying files.
• Fixed: When trying to create a file the operation could return an error even if it was successful.
• Changed: Don't popup a snackbar for every path change.

Searcher

• Added: Options find files based on minimum and maximum modification date. Using these options automatically causes results to be sorted by date.

AppControl

• Added: Right-side drawer with additional information and filtering options (#406).
• Improved: Tags for filtering (e.g. frozen apps) are no longer a search string and can be used in addition to manual search input (i.e. search in all frozen apps).
• Improved: SD Maid will check more locations now to find all items that belong to an app, this was previously limited to specific locations such as data/dalvik etc. but now covers all locations SD Maid knows.
• Improved: Files and sizes belonging to each app (estate) can now be determined on-demand.
• Improved: Speed when determining files owned by an app (estate).
• Changed: By default app files and sizes are not researched during list generation, except if the sort-mode is SIZE or the option to do the research in advance is turned on in the settings.
• Fixed: Corruption of exported APKs (#451).

CorpseFinder

• Improved: SDcard filter scan speed. Changes to clutter information allow us to better determine when we have to search deeper and when reading the top level item is sufficient.
• Improved: Reporting tool is now more comfortable and allows adding more information.
• Changed: Reports are now posted via GitHub, which requires a free GitHub account. People that want to contribute can now do so in higher quality and get recognition for their contributions. People who kept spamming me via the old report tool with weird stories can now try again and then be banned from SD Maids GitHub repository.

SystemCleaner

• Added: Tracking to determine how often UserFilter are actually used.
• Added: .chartboost and adhub to advertisement filter.
• Added: Help link to SD Maids wiki (#298 Ty Trasd).
• Improved: Some people create placeholders for __chartboost and .chartboost to block them from being created, these will no longer be removed.
• Fixed: UserFilter creation was possible without the pro version.
• Fixed: Size calculation for AdvertisementFilter items, should now also show children of matched directories (#471 Ty Solomon1732).

Biggest

• Added: File previews if you have SD Maid Pro.
• Added: Support for locations requiring root access (#129).
• Added: "Device view" (#467). The tool starts out with a "device view" showing all available storages the tool can show. Changing any settings is no longer necessary.
• Improved: Refresh behavior. Previously a refresh caused the whole cached file-tree to be reloaded. Now we can just refresh subnodes of the cached file-tree.
• Changed: Made list items more compact (#346).
• Changed: The tool has been renamed to "Storage analyzer".
• Removed: Settings page (no longer necessary).

• Fixed: Crash when pressung the backbutton on a cold start.
• Fixed: Crash due to trying to load "//" after navigating to the root, then reentering the Explorer again.

QuickAccess

• Added: Summary of estimated space affected by actions to be executed (because we can't know how much it is for VACUUM per databases, it currently just adds 4KB per database) (#407).

• Changed: The working notification is now no longer cosmetic and will elevate the service to foreground priority within the systems task killer, when the workers are done and the result is displayed, the service releases foreground mode and displays a normal notification.
• Changed: Settings layout and behavior. Removed lots of legacy code and wrote a cleaner solution that is not as fragile to support library updates.
• Fixed: Preferences not being themed correctly (#421 Ty dukelc).

Explorer

• Fixed: Not navigating correctly between symlinked directories (#416 Ty Morpheus)

AppControl

CorpseFinder

• Fixed: A few cases of false positive results within filters for "/data/app", "/data/app-private", "/data/app-asec" and "/data/app-lib", if the install number appendix is bigger than a single digit (#394 Ty ew@XDA).

AppCleaner

• Fixed: Possible crash when opening/closing the UI right after a deletion.

Scheduler

• Fixed: Scheduler ward being disabled when it shouldn't be. The scheduler ward cares for the scheduler alarm and reinstates it if necessary. For battery improvements this component is enabled/disabled if not necessary, but its state was falsely tied to the existence of the alarm instead of the setting that tells us whether it should be turned on.
