Phone cleanup? Or defrag type process? - General Questions and Answers

Just wondering. I've flashed so much stuff, and downloaded so many apps and games, including huge games like gameloft games. I was just wondering if anyone knows of a way to do a system cleanup of sorts, or something similar to a defrag that you would do on a pc, just to make sure there isn't a bunch of residual crap on my phone.. Thanks

Try 1 Click Cleanup (or something like that) and System Cleanup (the second one, I don't know if it cleans the SD (or media storage), but it cleans a lot of things on internal memory. Try SD Maid too.

Thank you. I've been using 1 click for a while, that's more for cache cleaning though.. I'll check the other ones out, I want a serious DEEP clean
Edit: looks like sd maid is what I was looking for.. Sweeeeeet

1 click cleaner is free in the market, cleans cache and you can use it to clean browser history, messages and call logs as well

Freeing up internal memory

I somehow have only 2.44 gbs of internal memory free and I can't figure out how to free more up. I used my back up pro and did a factory reset and I can't figure out whats eating The memory . I don't have many apps. Any help would be awesome. Thanks

Well you may have plenty of photos and videos in there. Put in the external SD card and go to camera app options. There you should be able to choose where to save the snaps and videos.

Maybe it's leftover files from an HD game(Gameloft) they leave like 500mb or more of files behind when you uninstall them. you have to go in and delete the left over manually.

Apparently Gameloft games are so large in size they actually add weight to the phone. (500mg, joke explainer, etc.)

2.44??? Your lucky, I just checked my ''internal phone storage'' and i only have 1.28 GB
and for my phone memory, total space is 5.44gb, and available space is 4.55gb
but i also have a 32gb micro sd card.

Insufficient Space problem

I'm not entirely sure what is going on. But whenever I try and download this one specific app (samurai vengeance) it says I have insufficient space on my card. I know this to be untrue. I have tons of space left. Over 1 gig alone in the program and close to 11 gigs in my internal. What's going on and how can I fix it? Any suggestions would be beautiful. I'm afraid this may carry over to other apps I want to install as well.
*Edit: I am running Infused 1.5.3 and the community kernal that comes with it. I partitioned my SD card a while ago but did a factory reset (not sure if that removes the partition or not). Thought that info may be helpful.

I am having the exact same problem! And it wasn't just that application. I ran into two instances of this same occurrence in the market. It is borderline frustrating.
I'm also running Infused 1.5.3 and the community kernal v8, both of which have been treating me phenomenally thanks to gtg's hard work. Anybody have any thoughts on this? I never partitioned my SD in any way, so I don't think that has anything to do with it.
I'm starting to wonder if I should take it back to stock and just start all over. But I'd rather not.

Any way you could give it a shot for us just for the heck of it and let us know if you're still experiencing the same issue? I would like to know if I need to change roms or not. I'm missing out on a few good apps!
It's not the rom. It's something with the new market.

Sorry, I just saw this post. Looks like it's related to the new market from what i'm hearing? Hope they fix this soon.
EDIT: Yup...downloaded angry birds rio just fine...went to download seasons and "insufficient space". I uninstalled the updated market and then downloaded angry birds seasons, tikl, mafia wars, and paper toss just fine.

It has to do with the cache size of the new market or that's what I've heard. The way to solve it is to go into applications -> market -> clear cache/data -> restart phone. And you should be able to download whatever you are trying to download again. But once your cache for the market fills up you have to do it again. Annoying I know, but at least it works.
i got this error today! and for the first time ever. i had just wiped and reflashed up my phone. it was plants vs zombies, a huge file, and i already have about 300 apps, all on my phone, not the sd card. so i thought i actually had a problem. but im using only half my phone storage, so i went back and tried it again and it worked fine. installed a few more apps after that too. dunno why. but yeah.
Thanks for all of the replies guys! This clears it up a whole bunch. Before I even thought about trying the old market I actually set my app downloads to go to my internal instead of the default 2 gig partitioned section. This helped me download more, but didn't solve everything. Now that I know it's the new market, it makes everything go down easier. I love these forums and I love the infuse. Keep up the good work.

Memory low due to low app space?

Guys please let me know honestly if its a pain due to small app space on vibrant 4g...
I'm about to trade my vibrant and pay and pay additional $100 on top of that for a vibrant 4g.... is that a good deal or not forth it?
Because on my vibrant 3g I never get low memory because I have dedicated 2gb of app space...
Thanx

If your rooted and have deleted all the bloatware and done the fota fix you should have about 350mb internal memory for apps. Use link2sd or apps2sd to have movable apps installed on your SD card and you should never have any space issues.
Sent from my SGH-T959V using xda premium
yeah that happens to me too. if you are rooted you can also clear up your cache via recovery as well as deleting all that bloatware with Titanium back if you dont wanna do it through terminal emulator, which the SGS4g has alot.....
So the only way to move apps to sd is to root?

Vibrant plus 100 is steep man... Think it over. Vibrants still go for about 200-250. Sell that then use the money plus the extra hundred you were about to spend and grab a Sensation or something. I see a lot of new Sensations for about 300-350 on CL.
Good luck.

If you use custom rom or root and delete fota files you will get about 300MB left on your phone. Theres also the option to move some app to 16GB sd card (most will suport this feature, but some don't).
OK guys I tried all the app2sd apps in the market... all of them show 0 movable apps... so please help me out with this: is there a one click root apparently for this phone? And where can I download it... and which files are safe to remove and how do I remove them... I'm new to rooting and u would need to break it down like to an infant... I only plan on removing all the bloatware crap... this phone has way too much of it!

Recover DELETED files from you sd card, even on your PC. ;)

Hey guys I would just like to share this wonderful app because I'm so overjoyed with it! It recovers any file, I guess. I accidentally deleted the media folder in my SD Card, but I recovered ALL of my music. Just click the DEEP SCAN option to be sure. BTW, it even works on your PC's recycle bin.
It's free BTW. Here's the link: http://www.filehippo.com/download_recuva/
A very good program to have. I wish I had it a couple months ago when I accidentally deleted some videos.

will be keeping this tool on hand, the "accidental" delete happens a lot in my home
What also works which was made for linux but also works on windwos is photorec...
This will go through your SD card anything you have media stored on and pull deleted photos..
Good tool to run if you are sellin a used SD card and wanna make sure everything was formatted right... Best way is to either run a eraser program on it to go double kill.
Just copy 3 sets of games you have installed on your pc to your sd card max the sucker out and format it will get rid of everything.... lol..
good to have in the toolbox, and free!
very nice. I needed this a couple days ago, maybe I can still get those files back I have to see how it works..
That's the program ive used for a while now. Works every time. I have always managed to recover everything (within hours of deletion).
Question: Is there a program similar to that for Android phones/tablets
Thanks for the info! This can surely come in handy.
Thanks! This should be included with every computer, phone, or device with user controlled storage. But if this makes you paranoid about deleting stuff, just use cCleaner with the 7 pass option.. or 15 if you feel like spending 8 hours to delete 100mb's.
thank you!

Download a file manager and start deleting what u don't need.

Download File Analyser from the play store and find out which files are hogging up the most space that aren't useful and delete.

Your phone shouldn't slow down "considerably" because of a full sd card... Are you rooted? Do u have anitivirus software? Av softwares are resource hogs and should be used temporarily and uninstalled after scans. If u are using a task killer or RAM manager, you will see adverse affects as well. What apps are running when you hold the home button to view currently running tasks?
If you still do believe it is a result of a full sd card, i like astro file manager. The stock file manager to delete sd contents should suffice though.

Also any games you don't use,uninstall them, that too take alot of space, as.videos take up a ton too.
