    Aren't these sort of apps useless?

      Usually worse than.
      It'll kill processes users dont understand perhaps making odd behavior.
      It'll install its own process.
      It'll run an overlay for memory and battery.
      It'll take up storage space.
      It'll become an autorun app.
      It asked for access through my firewall (sneaky (profanity)).
      And it didn't overclock my CPU, so it lied about making my processing speeds faster.

      JUNK!

      But, $2 to 0, is still a bargain.

      EDIT: just did an icon overlay; that icon is the Windows 7 recycle bin icon with a new logo placed on the front of it. LOL
      They didnt even hire a graphics designer for their app.

        Would getting punched in the balls for free be a bargain, if the person normally charges $2?

        • MasterScythe on 17/03/2017 - 12:04

          I don't want it, but clearly yes.

          If you've ever been to a Fetish club, you'd know people often pay GOOD money, to be punched in the balls.
          Hit up the Hellfire club in QLD on a Thursday and you'll stop arguing.

        When you mention firewall, what do you recommend to use then?

        • MasterScythe on 17/03/2017 - 13:38
          +1

          If you're on a stock, non-rooted phone, then NoRootFirewall is by far the easiest and most effective.

        • Polde on 17/03/2017 - 13:40

          @MasterScythe: Thanks for replying, I actually have CM13 on my phone. It looks to be the same as Privacy Guard, where you can allow and deny apps certain permissions. Or is it different?

        • MasterScythe on 17/03/2017 - 13:45

          @Polde: Well NoRoot is pretty unique in that it makes a fake VPN, using your own phone as a loopback.

          Basically this means that nothing can bypass the firewall.
          I havent used privacy guard, but if it doesn't use a VPN type setup, app developers can probably manually route the gateway and such. I'd have to look myself.

          On a quick google, Privacy Guard looks more like an INTERNAL permission controller, and perhaps an encryption service?
          If thats what you mean, no, I'm talking about a literal firewall.

          @MasterScythe: NetGuard for me. It's frequently updated and the source is also available on GitHub with extra functionality that the Play Store version doesn't have.

      • 4wd on 17/03/2017 - 17:48

        Strange, unless it's masquerading as something else it didn't ask permission or even show up in the list of programs requiring network access under AFWall+ on CM12.1.

        Uninstalled anyway, got enough of these things, eg. SD Maid Pro.

    It's a deal from going from $2 to $0, But to any non-tech-savvy users out there, I'd avoid things like this.
    What you have here mainly, is an advanced task killer (not needed, Android freexes background tasks after its timeout).

    Also when programs outright lie, I get suspicious.
    The claim of "Faster processing speed" is laughable, IMO.
    I'll install and watch my CPU speed, but I Doubt this thing somehow manages to overclock a stock kernel.
    That's the only way you'd get a processor faster thats already on board.

    This is rubbish. It is spy ware

    • otter-raptor on 17/03/2017 - 11:10

      That is not established yet, but prolly it may be updated later as a adware to make money, especially if Cheetah mobile acquires it

        It DOES make my Android firewall prompt for access; the app does want to get online for some reason.
        Not sure why yet, I havent wiresharked it to see where those packets want to go….

        • otter-raptor on 17/03/2017 - 12:22

          Well I didn't even want to risk installing it, kudos for the checks

          @kamban:
          Yeah you can't use that as a pure scare away though.
          Microsoft Word, Adobe Reader, Angry Birds, hell, even Camera, hits the firewall.

          I just "deny access" none of that needs to get online, all functions properly.
          If you're curious, and not toooo tech savvy, grab "NoRoot Firewall".
          It makes a fake loopback VPN within your own phone, then alerts you whenever ANYTHING wants to get online.

          In noob terms?
          You get an "alert" whenever any app wants internet access. And you can allow or deny with a simple click (also can say NO to 4G, and Yes to WiFi, for example)

          I just threw in a "deny all" policy, then whenever I want an app to work, add an allow for it.
          For example, I have over 200+ blocked 'services', and allow through: Web browser, Pokemon GO, SoundHound, and the system MMS tool.
          That's it. Everything works fine.

          If you use social media, I'm sure you'd also want to allow facebook and such also;
          However look into (google) the OFFICIAL facebook LITE, and Messenger LITE.
          Worth moving away from the "Australian" facebook app, to the lighter weight alternatives (and yes they're official)

          They wont show up with your play store set to Australia, but it's pretty easy to install them. WAY better.

          @kamban:
          Yeah its pretty neat to be able to control every element that gets online on your phone.
          It's also kinda scary to see how much of your device 'phones home' that often!

          Call me old-school, but I run my PC the same way; with a "deny all" rule, and an over-riding allow list.
          If something on my devices wants internet, I'd better know about it.

    It's still a bargain, so it still deserves to be +'ed!

    But as everyone is saying, avoid this app. However, some people feel better when they know that the app list is emptied out and the memory has been freed.

    Article (from 2016-03-15)
    https://www.wired.com/2016/03/closing-apps-save-battery-make…
    "… both Apple and Google have confirmed that closing your apps does absolutely nothing to improve your battery life… On both Android and iOS, algorithms run memory management. They’ll close apps that need to be closed, typically ones that have been dormant for a while or are using more power or memory than they should."

    I only ever kill/terminate an app if it has frozen or is misbehaving. Outside of that, everything is in the background and the OS handles everything just fine.

  • Ronnnie on 17/03/2017 - 11:18

    Installing this would be a way to decrease performance and have worse battery life.

      Already installed, works great, no impact on battery life, off course it is giant Xiaomi battery so…..

      • MasterScythe on 17/03/2017 - 12:08

        Could you describe "Works Great" for us?
        Perhaps show us a CPU or GPU trace, so we can see this improved efficiency?
        Even a task view with "CPU time" so we can see how much more efficient your device is now?
        Hell, I'll make it easier again, show me how small it managed to get your "various histories and caches" to improve performance?

        Anything at all, that's not anecdotal. The human mind is tricky, it'll convince you, you made a good decision any time.

        As an example;
        if you modify your car, always have a friend do the "before and after" with\for you, because you just spend 40+ hours building this engine\installing this turbo;
        its "Going to be faster and better!" in your mind, so it will be.

    FWIW, I've been using SDMaid Pro (there is also a free version) for while now and it's great for keeping my Note 4 chugging along. Scans and gives you the option of getting rid of gigs of bloat.

    • MasterScythe on 17/03/2017 - 12:10
      +2

      Gigs of bloat? Like what?

      I've been using my Note 4 for over a year now, and I recently dumped the internal storage using direct access to my computer to explore the directory structure a bit…. I'd be lucky if I could find a few hundred megs of "bloat". And then, it was all caches and history, which makes usage FASTER not slower.
      'useless' data, sure, but faster use case.

      What is leaving you with GIGS of bloat?
      3rd party apps maybe?

      Im not attacking, im GENUINELY curious, what the HELL is making GIGS of bloat on a modern android phone?!?

      • highon2str on 17/03/2017 - 12:32

        I'm not technically inclined that way, but if you look up the app, it might give you an indication of what it searches for and how it optimises. Stuff like thumbnail caches and crap that just builds up over the years (I also have a 200GB card). I've literally had the note 4 every since it first came out. Almost got rid of it once I got the note 7 but we all know what happened after that…

        Can't believe the Note 8 is still 6 months away. :(

        • MasterScythe on 17/03/2017 - 12:35

          for pure curiosity, can you remember even a single section that literally took over a Gigabyte of 'wasted space'?

          Yeah the note series is great, but the main reason I owned it was for the note taking features.
          Sorry Samsung, but now that the Blackberry KeyONE is real; they've lost me as a customer.

          Not for everyone, but I have a specific use case (typing etc); Blackberry KeyONE is just… special…

        • highon2str on 17/03/2017 - 13:58

          @MasterScythe:

          I last ran a clean a few days ago - I ran one just now and it's already showing me 224MB of recoverable space in "Apps". When you go into it you can click on the "i" to see what all the data is, all the file paths for each app. It's a bit hard to explain, why don't you just download the free version and let it run the scan (without actually cleaning anything) to see for yourself.

          The Keyone looks nice, though it's missing the stylus which I need and also I'm not sure if I can justify sacrificing screen size for the physical kb.

        • MasterScythe on 17/03/2017 - 16:59

          @highon2str: That makes sense.
          Basically there are two ways to install apps ODEX and DEODEX
          http://www.addictivetips.com/mobile/what-is-odex-and-deodex-…

          To make it simple, that "wasted space" is an ODEX application (which is all of them, unless you have a custom ROM).
          When you launch an Android application it basically "unzips" itself into your phone. This means that next time you run that executable (.apk files, in android world) it has an already uncompressed set of data to launch it quicker.
          It's neat stuff!

          You can see this without any special tool by going into your apps menu and seeing "application data" listed, as well as cache.

          So that makes a lot of sense.
          What you're deleting is the programs "Im ready to run!" files, and making it "Re-install" itself every time you open it.

          Nothing particularly wrong with that, its just a whole ton slower opening apps.

          Its a trade off between what you need on your phone; faster use, or more raw storage for music or whatever.

    • NiteMice on 17/03/2017 - 12:58

      SDMaid is the most well-regarded android cleaning app going round. Good stuff!
