Hello!
Just wondering if you guys use these Android system cleaning apps,
Like "Clean 360" , "Clean Dr."
"Clean Master"
Do you guys think these apps work and help your devices?

try SD maid, hands down "the" best.
I prefer SDMaid too. Not too keen on automatic cleaning apps, android should do the job effectively enough itself but I do like the ability to check on/remove useless cache files and data.
No never really seemed to make any difference to how it all runs for me.
I do tidy out the odd folder on my internal storage every now and again manually.
What is it with android that seems to want to create a folder for everything!
Yes
I used clean master before I discovered SDmaid. SDmaid is a awesome app for android junk cleaning at a very low price. Clean master does not clean the corpses of old apps. SDmaid does.
+1 for sd maid. I clear up about 2gb worth of junk every month. Hands down the best cleaning app.

Ive got rid of a bunch, but still only have 100mb free What is using all my space?
try to use gemini app and disable uneeded apps. (disable it in the auto run config)
You have enough ram to run everything and if some app would need more ram then android will kill some but you will never know because super fast processor.

Use link2sd. Your internal memory will not lose even 1mb even if you install 100 apps

i have the same question back then.. when i installed app2sd and launch it, it says there is 35mb cache on the phone memory and ask whether or not to remove it. seems that some of the apps is taking up some room.
i cant tell whether you already root your phone or not by just looking at your statement "Ive got rid of a bunch", if not you might want to do it. its nice that you can remove all the craps that comes preinstalled like mine
get app2sd and move all of those apps, delete cache.
I have like 100 mb free too and I need my few games
I just installed Gemini app. It's real cool stuff! Release 136mb to my mini!

Such a cleaner is needed but not for things like registry entries and cache.
Its needed for those apps that directly store their data and cache on the memory card, and don't wipe it when you uninstall. The worst are those which create vague folder namers like "csdata" or something. How are you supposed to know if it belongs to an app you're using or one you've uninstalled?
There should be a better way to store large amounts of app data than mingling it in with user data with vague names.

Yes it is, just posted a new thread about Dolphin Browser (beta) causing standby drain, un installed the app problem persisted.
I tried using link2sd but the link feature doesn't work and it only moves apps from phone storage to the internal sd.
you really have that many apps that you ran out of room? basic moving is in under managing apps but for performance I'd advise keeping them on phone storage
The new app by 3C that will replace system tuner is called Android Tuner. If you search the play store the free app is first on the list, and you can click on the button for more apps by this developer and see the pro version.
It has a feature to very easily do what you're wanting to do, and it will automate a good bit of what needs to be done to maintain that configuration..
When I read your question I remembered seeing something in the app store description or change log that its the easiest app2sd app to use even though its the most feature packed app on the market.

Where is the Move to SD option (for apps that have it enabled) moving them to, internal or external?
What do you have installed that you're using up 2GB of app space?
Hi,
Could anyone tell me where a stock galaxy s 3 app would be installed to please?
The reason i ask is because an app i am using (six axis controller) installed itself to /data/data/ instead of sdcard/data/
Is the latter the location of which apps on stock roms are installed?
Because i am using foxhound 1.3 and my apps are all installed to /data/data/ making touch profiles for the six axis app, impossible to use, because they are saved to and imported from sdcard/data/com.dancingpixelstudios.sixaxiscontroller the app would need root access to get there, unfortunately it doesn't.
All my apps are up to date and are legit versions, all paid for.
This all might sound confusing and i hope it doesn't.
Any knowledge about the whereabouts of where apps or parts of apps are installed to on stock roms would be a great help.
Many thanks.
System apps are in /system/app
All other apps should be in /data/app.

sdcard/android/data is where it tends to install files etc

Thanks for all the replies, the problem i've got is, all my apps are being installed to /data/data/ and the six axis app needs it to be installed in sdcard/data/ apparently i'm all alone in this.
I've tried omega, foxhound and android revolution.
All do the same thing.
Yet everyone talks about the app being installed to sdcard/data/
Whenever i point the app to that location it force closes.
Really annoying.
No worries buddy, my advice would be to flash back to original ics (LG8) then root (I use CF-ROOT 6.4) and see if you're still having trouble after that buddy

hmmm.. try using Link2SD , open the Menu using menu button -> Settings -> Install location -> change from "Automatic" to "Internal"
hopefully, the directory for installation will change into sdcard/Android/data :good::laugh:
OK so after trying everything I could think of, I went with mega wipe which killed off the internal SD card and everthing in it including data, so now everything works perfect

I'm looking for some good antivirus/antitheft app.
Esp. so that the app won't be removed on factory reset and things like wipe sd card etc.
Cerberus in one the best antitheft application for android

I use Avast.
The other day I changed the sim card in my phone (because I had changed network) and an alarm started going off with a voice saying the phone had been stolen. I also got a text message saying my phone had been stolen, with a link to a map showing the location where the sim card had been changed.

Use the proper space for this kind of post. This is an Apps & Games only forum.
I've used Cerberus on pretty much every android I've used so far, even tablets. Served me well so far as can remotely lock, wipe, locate and take photos from the front camera on the device and lots of other things that makes it a really good security app too

One more point to Cerberus.
