Do smartphone cleaners really work? - Android General

Recently wondered whether the cleaners for the smartphone really work?
At first, I began to look for information about this in other well-known forums, but even there I did not find a suitable explanation for the algorithms that are used for complex cleaning of caches. Not finding suitable topics on the Internet, I began to delve into the principles of operation of these technologies. For a start, I started wool play market in search of a suitable solution, but even there only a few applications can demonstrate their functionality in a progressive scale. From my investigation, I identified two more or less suitable candidates!
This is first: play maker package name = com.cache.cleaner.booster.ram.storage
And second app: play maker package name = com.cache.cleaner.cachecleaner.booster.storage
This is not an advertisement, but a purely personal conclusion about the functionality of applications. Perhaps many will disagree with me, but of all the huge selection of various applications, only these differ in really complete testing of the device, with the subsequent elimination of existing problems!
Thus, against the background of global advertising in the media, we are losing our worldview on truly technological applications and are selling for a beautiful design, but at the same time we forget about the benefits of the tools that we provide absolutely free, you just need to find it!
I hope my article will help any of you in choosing a good cleaner, and I advise everyone else not to sell for advertising!

Thank for this share this article very valid points useful data

Fragmentation of Apps in AppStore

Social media and mobile apps seem to be the new buzz words over at Silicon Valley. In fact, such apps are now a dime a dozen and one could imagine Apple changing their popular catchphrase “There’s an app for that!” into “There are a thousand different apps for that, all of which have the same basic features, but subtle useless differences.”
The problem isn’t that we are approaching the boundaries of utility as far as mobile apps are concerned, it’s just that once an app or social service gets popular, developers start crowding around its concept and make thousands of clone apps, with little in terms of differentiation. We need more unique and original apps that stretch the boundaries of what we can accomplish with our phones and tablets and make you think “Wow! Who would have thought I could do that with this little thing I carry around with me?!” What we’re getting are the same basic concepts, re-hashed to such an insane degree that app stores get crowded with half-baked clone apps and the really amazing ones are drowned out in a sea of filth.
In my opinion, developers should ask themselves three basic questions before designing an app or a social service:
“Has this been done before?”
“If it has, can I do it in a way that is better/more pleasant to use?”
“If no, would I be able to introduce any sort of useful feature except a wacky name?”
And if the answers to all three questions are unfavourable, then the developer should think twice about coding such an app. It would only add redundancy to the app store and contribute to the rising app discovery epidemic.
I shudder to think about all the high quality apps made by independent developers all over the world that haven’t been popularized simply because of an overly saturated market. The amount of lost potential in app markets today is simply staggering.
Apart from market saturation, redundant apps also tend to cause mental saturation. In this day and age, who among us has the capacity to remember a billion app names? If we can’t even remember such a numerous volume of apps, how can we aspire to use them?
In my opinion, authorities like Apple and Google should monitor the apps in their stores not just for quality, but for identity of vision as well. Apps that feel like cheap copies of pre-existing apps need to be banned! I, for one have had enough of my normal friends playing ruddy Fruit Ninja clones and asking me why it doesn’t look as good as it does on my phone!
There are shining examples of how stupendously done apps with a clear and fresh vision can go viral within days of conception. They are the intellectual property of individuals that have worked hard to develop not just the code for their apps, but the core concept as well. And we owe it to those striving developers to make sure that the integrity of that core concept remains preserved.

Yeah kind of like the lack of remotely interesting original posts on this forum, verses the viral like increase in nonsense that seems intended to do nothing but allow some forum users to boost their post count ....
I think the main problem with this fragmentation is that it is in the nature of Social Discovery apps that there is some uniformity in use. To be able to actually find people through it requires that a lot of people are using the same one.
Only people use them for different reasons and therefor there is an app for any of those reasons. Like some want to use them just to stay in touch with their friends and family, others to meet new people (like me when I am going to a new place) and than there is a group that uses them for flirting or organizing sexual encounters (I am not judging)
I think the best innovation for companies would be to invent an app that combines these functions. I haven't been able to find one.
If you know one, please let me know.
Thank you, I enjoyed reading your view. I do share all your points other than the 'vision policing' part.
"In my opinion, authorities like Apple and Google should monitor the apps in their stores not just for quality, but for identity of vision as well."
If the vision could have been identified by the platform's creator then there wasn't a need for the App Store. The platform creator would have created every possibly visioned apps for its platform and not bother about the participation of thousands of developers on its ecosystem. Basically, to identify the visions one would restrict 'ideas' in which it does not go well with the creativity nature of mankind.
I found something on which you can have several profiles. So you can create one for every function you can have for a Social Discovery app. I think its sort of a good idea, because you don't need like ten thousants of profiles spread around over the net. Just use it however you want. I like that idea.
For me it's perfect because I always have a hard time remembering my passwords
It's called Evry'U. I found it through their facebook page that a friend linked me.
Did anybody heard of it?

[Q] [APP][IDEA] A Reference app for Organic Chemistry

Hi
Organic chemistry is a branch of chemistry dealing with compounds and reactions between compounds containing mostly carbon, hydrogen, oxygen and nitrogen. These reactions are extremely diverse and most proceed in several steps, as a result they are organized into schemes called reaction mechanisms. Although new mechanisms are discovered all the time, there are hundreds of mechanisms that are already well known and useful in an everyday chemistry setting. For an organic chemist, a quick way to find a particular mechanism is extremely valuable.
Unfortunately, there is no quick and easy way to do this on a mobile platform. Wikipedia does describe a lot of these mechanisms, but the most useful way of presenting the information would be something along the lines of a website called Name Reaction. It presents reaction mechanisms in a clear and to-the-point fashion, but it requires an internet connection and only lists a fraction of what is out there.
The closest thing to the app I'm describing is an app called formulae in Google Play. It does a number of things, including reaction mechanisms, but isn't particularly user-friendly, and it doesn't present the information in a clear and easy to find way.
My idea is therefore to create an app that has an searchable offline database of reaction mechanisms presented in a crisp, clear way that would allow chemists to look up the information they need quickly and efficiently. This is not an app that would make it to the top list in any app store, but I know that there is a market for something like this.
Since my coding experience is quite limited, I need help to make this project happen. I can provide the science data if someone is willing to help out with the coding and design.
Does this sound interesting to anyone?

How to become a good android developer?

Developing a good android application is not an easy task (neither impossible ) especially if you have small or no team. It requires many skills and talents, such as coding, designing sense, music sense, marketing skills and list goes on. You have to keep an eye on everywhere since lack of any aspect can result in poor response form users (which is the last thing an android developer want).
Recently I have developed an android game (Fruiteria) in my spare time and launched it recently on Google play store (see link at the end of this post). It took me about 74 days to build it from scratch. It was a challenging task but I learned a lot from my experience. I would like to share my experience with you today!
Let's discuss what are the things one should never avoid while developing application :
1. Concept and implementation of application
As I said above, there are many aspects to application development. But no matter what you do, You will not be successful by selling poor quality application. So, first thing everyone should think about is a good concept. Your concept can depend on your goals such as business advertising, social work, marketing or simply making money! Also, having a good concept on paper is one thing but it's implementation need patience and constant efforts. If you have a nice concept and willingness to put efforts into it, then consider you are already at the half way!
2. Grow your concept with time
Second point I would like to mention is try not to be stubborn!! If you think that you have the best concept in the world, but the world thinks the other way, then you are in big trouble. After all you are building the application for people. Take suggestions from users and your friends to change and grow application concept. Believe me, it works like magic!
3. Research
Before building your application, try to do some research on what is the market for your application, who are the competitors in market and why they are successful (or unsuccessful), who are your target audience and what do they exactly want. Working on such things will give you a better idea on what needs to be done exactly.
4. Marketing
This one is tricky! If you are an individual, or a small company with almost no capital, then it is hard to put much money in marketing. Especially when there are already giant companies present as your competitors. But that is not the end! Think about creative ways to make your application popular. For example Give it to your friends to use, and tell them to spread it. If you are in college, then sponsor a small event in exchange of application publicity which will not require much money. Make discount coupons and distribute them. In essence, do every little bit of thing that you can. You might not see the effect on first sight, but over time it will accumulate on large scale.
5. Keep in touch
Last thing I want to share is don't leave your application after launching! Keep updating it regularly by adding exciting new features and fixing bugs if any. Respond to user comments and reviews. It gives personal touch and they will start thinking that you care about them. It will definitely increase the user retention and hence the growth of your application..!
I personally have been implementing these principles in my application since the idea came to my mind. Finally I succeeded in development of a good android game (or at least I think so!). But as I said earlier, my success depends on how you respond to it! I am sharing the link for game in case if you are interested in checking out my game. Please let me know how you find it by reviewing it on Google play store!
All the best for your android endeavours. My best wishes are with you!!

IntelliAV - Machine Learning AV for Android

I stumbled on IntelliAV while browsing the net. It has a very interesting feature - using machine learning to identify malware.
Here's the research paper on it --> https://www.researchgate.net/public...g_Intelligent_Anti-Malware_on_Android_Devices
And it's website and download page --> http://www.intelliav.com
What do you think? I wonder how does it stack up against other well known anti-malware?
I wish I had time to go through the paper. My estimation would be that it stands quite poorly. Mostly because it is brand new, still in development, and not sure what machine learning algorithms its trying to use and how much processing power their servers have. Honestly, I am very skeptical towards anything that uses "machine learning" as the main point of advertising. If it were good enough, most major anti-virus vendors would have already used it. We are still ways off efficiency and functionality compared to heuristics and signature detecting.

Thank you for your comments about our tool.
I believe it is better to read the paper and evaluate the app before commenting negatively about it without knowing the details. The detail of the system is available in the paper like classification algorithm, types of features, tuning the model, etc.. Just applying machine learning blindly is not a novelty, but employing it wisely will help to have an influential detection system. This is exactly what we wanted to show in this app to motivate other major AVs to implement. Another point is that we do not perform detection in the cloud. Indeed, we don't have money to buy a server. The classification is performed on the device. This is another point that we wanted to show.
As an overall comment, this app is free and without Ads and we do not earn millions of dollars from it. So I think if we want to criticize sth., we should consider positive points of a new approach as well rather than destroying it while we do not have any information about it.
Thank you very much!

Seems legit honestly, good work, I liked your response here as well, as most malware & AV have used Diagnostic reporting & cloud databasing for so long it's pretty hard not to just consider that a form of machine learning in itself, but again I really like the work!
Oh, I wasn't commenting negatively with a strict opinion against it. I just provided my light inside on the topic without any foul intentions. And this is actually a fault of my own ignorance, I have done a lot more research on this subject, as I was concerned of my error, and it turns out Machine Learning IS extensively used in AV and other fields it's just not as broad and more covert. And I do not deny, that eventually this is going to be a strong point, right now the costs are relatively high for broad global use.
The slides of our talk about IntelliAV at ARES conference is available. I am not able to post the direct link here, but please just search IntelliAV in the slideshare .net website to find it.
Thank you!

Looks good so far. I do think you need to add a false positive button also that users can report suspected false positives (or maybe have an advanced users setting that will show this). Possibly also an ignore button if an app is always showing as false positive.
Eg
I'm sure the following app is a false positive

Thank you very much for sharing the link and your comment on false positive. We are working on this issue to make an updated model, as well as putting an ignore button to avoid annoying the users in the case of false positives.
Thank you again!

How do I get a striped down version of Android.

Hi everyone,
Here is a little history first. In 2014 I helped develop a traffic counting app for an engineering buddy. I designed the UI's, the flow charts and wrote the 275-page illustrated, developers manual. The developer had it working in less than 6 weeks, thanks to, as he said, "to the awesome documentation provided". The app has been in use since then and has worked flawlessly on the original 24 tablets I originally purchased for him.
Recently, we have been asked to bring the app to a wider audience so, my question is, "Is there a way to prepare an image of the Android OS containing only the setup we need, and then clone it to the new tablets?" The app is designed as engineering tool and is not listed through Google Play and as such, it does not require most of the bloatware found on the new tablets. The app does require the use of photos, some file management along with network connectivity to send and receive the various data files required and produced by the app.
I have limited experience in rooting, but I have been successful when I done it on my Samsung phones.
As a certified Graphics Designer/Windows and Mac tech/COVID-19 survivor (nearly killed me, literally...LOL), I am aware of the amount of work that goes into aiding people with their "little" projects. Any help or direction in this matter would be deeply appreciated.
