Evening all, can I ask what's a good cleaner app for clearing app cache and deleting stuff, seems to be a bit of a mine field on the playstore with old and new stuff so thought I'd ask. (have a s9) cheers

i would be interested to hear that as well
You can see it in my github, I'm making open sources zcleaner android. Link in the profile. If you have any comments, tell me I am constantly in development

May have been answered before but searching didn't bring anything up for me. Basically I want to clear the data backed up on my Google account regarding Android (WiFi, Market apps, Settings, etc) so I can start again.
Anyone know how to do it?
OK, managed to find somewhere that if you go into your Privacy settings and uncheck the backup option it says it'll delete everything. Is this correct?
Erm I think so eddy I used to untick it when first install and everythibk would be clear
For reference, the above doesn't work. Tried clearing the lot, wiped all data and reflashed my ROM and it still restored my apps, etc...quite annoying really. I mean, its good, but if you wanna start from a clean slate it would seem you can't!
Erm ok soz buddy

That's OK mate! I'll find a way I'm sure
Quick edit: Turning off backup DOES delete settings relating to the phone but NOT the Market. Must be a separate backup which I can't find!
EDIT: OK, sign into your Google Dashboard and you can see what's backed up and when but you CANNOT delete it. Why the hell not?!?!

Hi,
Is it one of those situations where they have you by the short and curlies,and will not let you go?
Maybe the only way is to open a new account?
I seem to remember AOL being the same...
Bloody well hope not! I've emailed Google so we'll see what comes of it but surely if you delete an app it should NOT come back the next time!
On a related note, anyone know why some apps I install are NOT listed under 'My Apps'? I'm guessing it's linked to my account somehow but, again, it's annoying!
Erm depends if they where downloaded from Google it self or if sourced from some where else they won't show up I should know
If u have titanium backup go to
Menu/more/market doctor and it will fix broken links to Google market

They're all from the Market, but I'll try the TI option, thanks
EDIT: I'm not paying for an app I'll never use, but thanks anyway. Funny how the old Market never had this issue. just the new one
Haha yes yes I agree old market was fantastic
Yes i do try before I buy if I like the app then buy

Randomly enough, it seems to have worked anyway! It said I may have to 'download any app' to get it up to scratch and, seeing as Superuser needing updating, I did it. It now shows all Market apps in My Apps!
Yh I did it I was playing around and now I have like 20 updates but can't update them.as there ermmmm not from Google

I'm just glad to have it sorted, was doing my nut in! At least now everything is cleared and setup from scratch so hopefully won't have to complain again. Still think Google should have the option
Hello All,
I have been wondering what (if any) history eraser/cleaner apps you guys use?
I've been a long time user of "HistoryEraser" by DUMAPIC but can anyone suggest a better app I should be using?
Thanks.
manually ...
Oh - don't you find it tiresome having to clear caches and histories manually all the time?
or am I just far too anal about clearing my history?
Why clear caches? They improve performance.
No one else uses my phone so i don't have to worry about clearing history.

Yeh I should have said History only, no need to clear caches unless your running out of room.

Hi guys,
Does anyone know of an Android version of the type of App that allows you to make a list of apps that you are planning to buy, then notifies you of any price changes etc? There seems to be loads of options for this on iOS but I have not seen any on Android. The only one I ever found did not show 99% of the Market and seemed to be American.
I would love to be able to log a list of games I am interested in so that I don't forget to buy them when I have money available for games! Notifications of price changes aren't too important but would be nice - the main thing is not forgetting apps I am interested in.
I've got everything crossed one of you knows of such an app
Thanks!
First, this should be in the Q/A section, in my opinion.
Second, the only thing I've found REMOTELY similar to appshopper on Android is the website www.appbrain.com. I'm not sure if they have an app though.
EDIT: Actually they do have an app, this should be it: https://play.google.com/store/apps/...vbS5hcHBzcG90LnN3aXNzY29kZW1vbmtleXMuYXBwcyJd
Bear in mind that Android market is not as neatly organized as Apple's AppStore so there is a huge amount of crap that pops out when you search for a concrete title.
I know iOS has that too, but at least Apple cuts SOME of that crap so you are not bothered with wallpapers and such stupid junk. Anyway, I'm not bashing at Android, I think as an Xperia Play user I can say I'm quite happy with what's on offer.
I just wish more iOS developers would consider it worthwhile to port their games.
Sorry for the rant
'Thanked' for your quick reply! That's brilliant, I'll download Appbrain and check it out.
Sorry for posting in the wrong section - this is the only one I use. Mods feel free to move this if need be.
Seems like a good app but unfortunately no 'favourites' or similar list to remember what you want to install. Any other ideas guys?
I've just discovered 'Best Apps Market' that lets you build a wish list of apps you are interested in. Looks good so far, worth picking up if you have been after what the OP describes. Please Thank me if you grab this!
I'm also looking for this. App Brain looked okay, but there's not way I'm creating an account with my Gmail or FB credentials.

Privacy issues.
Did you try AppSales?
AppZapp Beta
You could try AppZapp beta (search for it on Google Play, sorry I can't add links yet).
It's one of the better ones available for iOS devices but it looks like they're making it for Android now too!
Hey guys,
We are a small team of android developers that had a cool idea of an app which we released to the market few days ago. First of all, thank you for reading this, as you all probably know, promoting new apps is hard job these days and you are all we got.
The app called 'NeverForget' and the idea is simple: A solution to stop forgetting stuff when you leave your current location. There are tons of situations when this app may be useful. A classic example: When you leave your home at the morning to your job, you surely need to take with you some stuff such as your bag, wallet, keys, etc.. We have created NeverForget app to make sure you won't forget any of it again(Usually all of us forget something time to time). One of our main goals was to make the app as simple as possible, and that's what we did. One button click to start the app and when leaving your current place, the app will start a loud alarm. There are additional options available like setting the alarm name or taking a photo of the stuff you need to take.
After thinking of this idea, we have searched a lot and could not find any solutions to that common problem. After deeper search we understood why is that. There is NO way to determine device's location inside a building, for these days. GPS does not working inside closed places, and that was our biggest issue that we successfully overcame with NeverForget.
Basically the solution to it is that we rely on WiFi networks around you, if possible. If not, GPS service is required.
The app is FREE to use and available at Google Play.
We would appreciate your feedback and hoping you will try out our app - NeverForget.
For any questions you can send us an email to: [email protected]

Thanks again.

Hello,
I want present my new app. that is in beta stage but fully functional: Phone usage monitor.
With this app you will be able to know when and how much you use your device and the apps that you have in it.
Please, report issues, if any, and suggest more events to monitorize.
Thanks
Play Store Description
Are you obsessed with your phone?
Up to what point?
Do you want to be aware of which apps are the most used?
Do you want to know what WiFi networks you connect to and at what time?
When are your applications updated?
Do you want to know if your phone suffers a expontaneous reboot or when you turn on or off the screen?
You need this app and you know it!

Looking good! An option to exclude certain apps like Nova Launcher would be nice.

Thanks for the suggestion. Great idea!
It would also be nice to be able to monitor a remote phone (opening up the app to for parental monitoring for example).
This could be achieved by either allowing to :
- send a daily report by mail
- having a client app with data synced whenever a connection is avaialable
- sending data to a central server
...
anyway to export the data as .csv ?
Hello, thanks for app!
Any chance to remove "full network access" from permissions in future ?
Heya! Congrats on making the portal. Good stuff you got there.
Here's some suggestions for the intro texts:
Part 1 - Current
"Do you want to know how do you use your smartphone?
You have installed this app, so the answer will surely be affirmative.
With this app you can know with what apps you lose your time; time which you could lose living your real life..."
Part 1 - Suggested
"Would you like to know how you use your smartphone?
Well, as you've already installed this app, that'll be an affirmative!
By gathering statistics about your apps with Phone Usage Monitor, you'll know where your precious time is creeping off to. Time you might want to spend on living your real life..."
Part 1 - Motivation
The second "do" doesn't really have a function in the first sentence and I made it a bit softer to make a more friendly first impression. I mentioned the app's name to remind the user what's going to help them (branding, be proud of your creation). I stayed true to your intention, the reference to 'real life', but made that a bit softer as well by using "might" and not mentioning a negative word like "lose". We're all winners here!
Part 2 - Current
"To let us know this information we will run a service in the background to monitor the use you make of your smartphone.
Quiet!, it will not consume more than a little bit of the precious battery of your mobile..."
Part 2 - Suggested
"You're probably wondering how much battery this app will consume. Don't worry, just a tiny bit.
Think about the time you will save after gaining all this usage intel. You won't even need as much battery anymore."
Part 2 - Motivation
Shouting "Quiet!" doesn't come across very friendly. There's also never a comma after an exclamation mark. I wrote the text to match the battery icon better. I'm also pushing the major goal of the app forward.
Part 3 - Current
"We will give you more information if you let us see how do you use the apps in your device..."
Part 3 - Suggested
"Sorry to bother you but I will need some usage access in order to provide you with all these awesome statistics. Is that okay with you?"
Part 3 - Motivation
"let us see" gives the impression multiple people or a company will be watching along, which totally isn't the case. I wrote it a bit more personal, fun and friendly.
Part 4 - Current
"Do not worry!
The data we collect is NOT sent anywhere."
Part 4 - Suggested
"Do not worry!
The data I collect is NOT sent anywhere."
Part 4 - Motivation
As in part 3, It's better to speak from a first person point of view, "I" instead of "we". It's just the app and the user, "you and me", which is a more comforting thought.
Instead of "START APP" I'd use something more vivid like "Lets go!" or "Show me some numbers!" or "Start saving time!"
The UDPA looks good, people are used to not reading these disclaimers and accepting them anyway. It's also a nice reminder that even if there is a "we", it's literally stating no personal data will be collected on any server. Kudos! :highfive:
I personally don't like the last paragraph but ah well, one has to make a living, right?
Looking forward to those stats...

Sorry, but Internet permission is needed to display Ads.
I understand that you do not believe in my word when I say that I am not sending data anywhere, but I need to access the Internet to load the Ads
Please add export data functionality! Csv format for example. Great app otherwise, thanks!
Crashing
Hi,. Unfortunately the app crashes every time I open it on my OnePlus 6 that runs Android 9. The first time run screens work fine and permissions are assigned ok but then I can't open the app. I have tried clearing the storage/cache and that hasn't helped. Any ideas what to try next please?
Hi
Assuming you're rooted, please, post a logcat or send by email.
Thanks

If possible, enter app settings then enable debug mode then reproduce the issue then sent the log file.
If not possible, please, contact by email or PM to receive a debug version of the app to track the issue.
