Improve system settings disk usage analyzer

"Resevered for System Usage" ?

"Wasted due to former OS"

I think we should be very clear about what size is consumed by our installation, and whats just reserved by Android partitioning. You know we get the bad press "UT consumes 8GB space for nothing" when in fact its much less. We want to be as transparent as possible.

I dont think people will be confused by that, you could also call it "Reserved Android partitions" maybe. BUt make clear how much space the actual installation takes up.

@flohack Is the worked shown in OTA-21 project ? I don't see it.

danfro

@domubpkm No. As Florian said, this is available in devel channel. OTA20 was made available in stable channel last week.

For a short description of the channels please see our FAQ Telegram channel: https://t.me/UTFAQ/36

I can confirm it landed in todays devel. My opinion: neat! Looks great. Well done @mymike .

danfro

@domubpkm Oh, sorry. You said OTA 21. My mistake.

@mymike The disk usage part is already available in devel and is going to land in the next OTA. Nice!

Is there any ETA when the other part with clearing apps cache, settings and data is going to be available?

@danfro unfortunately as @mymike knows, on Pixel 3a (Halium 9 device) new categories display is kinda broken, maybe due to the fact that an Anbox (Waydroid?) partition isn't available. Hope this will be fixed in the long run. Thanks to Michele for the great job anyways. Matteo

@DPITTI Please take note of danfros comments and keep things relevant to the thread you are posting in. Thanks

@mymike Just remembered this (old, old) discussion and your work for app clearup options in system settings. Wondering what did happen to that? That would be such a great thing to have "native".

flohack

@danfro Specifically, removing App data for Apps no longer being installed. I got quite a ton of those

Hi @danfro ! Yeah, I'm sorry but I'm less motivated in developing for UT than few years ago , even though I still follow and contribute to this fantastic project!
It's on my to do list and I'd like to say I'll work on it soon, but that would be rather unrealistic...

danfro

@mymike thanks for the reply and no worries at all. Time flies and things change, so do tasks.

You said you already had it working on your phone to some extend.
Is the code available somewhere online so someone else could pick this up?
Maybe with a quick guide what needs doing to get this finished?

But it would be a real waste of the great work you already did.

mymike

@danfro The code is at
https://gitlab.com/ubports/development/core/lomiri-system-settings/-/tree/github/fork/mymike00/xenial_-_better-disk-usage. I guess it needs a rebase and something may conflit with the other PR I did adding new categories in the storage bar, but I'm not sure.
And then I would read this forum thread again, honestly I don't remember the details but it could be some minor UI/UX things needed some adjustment.

Let me know if you (or someone else) start working on this, so that we won't double the work if I'll work on this too, and I'll do the same. Thanks
