Maybe only Friendstream Widget?

Last time I tried it the sync icon wouldn't go away :(

To be honest Last time I tried it was back on Froyo... :D

Maybe I should give it a try once again. Because I don't use it.
[Desire HD Android Development] Saluco:
No, I removed both , the app and the widget :D
[Desire HD Android Development] Dude360:
Ill add to this as I was one of those who was stricken with the syncing problems (twitter, google and fbook) both in F & GB.

After weeks of trying different combos (back in the day of manually rom stripping) I managed to narrow it down. All I keep is Friendstream, HTC Twitter, HTC Facebook, Twitter and Facebook. I remove the FS widget and thats it.

If I remove anything else syncing related then Im back to continuous syncing :(

It must be device specific as my mate removes the lot and has no trouble. We did it side by side removing the same things one by one and it was mine who would get the continuous syncing :(
[Desire HD Android Development] Patrics83:
This is very strange I must say... :confused:

Thanks Dude360 for sharing this and also confirms that Friendstream can be removed in some cases and also twitter and that usless **** "if you ask me" ;)

So what do you guys think?

Is it enough if I mark HTC Twitter (Peep), Twitter with a # in front of the command?

In this way you can deside and test it.

Strange that no one reported it here before.. :(

Just a question, to you all.

for example when I setup my phone I sign in to google and HTC Sense Facebook in the setup wizard. Is this how you do it also?
[Desire HD Android Development] Dude360:
Id say make a small section in the script with these couple of items # saying that they may cause syncing issues if removed, like you did with the tts.

Its hard to pin down exactly what the cause is as its not a global problem.

I had many a fiddle back on froyo and for me these few were the culprits. Started removing them again in GB and alas syncing probs :mad:

I must have done over a hundred flashes narrowing them down, taking out each app individually but it all came down the HTC Twitter, FB and Friendstream that it would frak up on.

There was one time with everythig removed that it worked fine though but Google stopped syncing :mad::mad::mad::mad:

I did have a similar theory back then about wether the setup wizard had something to do with it so tried it with and also by skipping it and adding the accounts in settings. Was still the same either way for me :(

So nowadays I just skip straight through the wizard, change font and restore a few small things with TB before rebooting to install the S3 AIO and remove the setups. Then I wipe everything like sense and weather data so I can get the weather and clock lockscreen working before adding my accounts manually.

Although I dont use Twitter/FB myself all my friends do so I keep the account running so I can see their stuff. Im really a fan of the sense integration of them as well so its isnt really a big deal just for a couple of MBs :)
[Desire HD Android Development] preacher65:
Not here, no. I don't sign in to anything in the wizard, except putting in my wifi key. Then I go into Settings/Privacy and make sure "Automatic Restore" and "Backup my settings" are both un-ticked. Only then do I sign in to Google and HTC Sense Facebook. (I stopped sync'ing Twitter and in fact sometimes don't even bother logging in to it at all between flashes.)

This is just to make absolutely sure that Google doesn't start re-downloading my apps automatically, as I prefer to install manually after a full wipe. I think if you just don't tick "Backup my settings" in the wizard it does the same thing, but I like to be 100% certain it's disabled. I suspect we all have some little bits of our setup that are almost like rituals, that we always do. :)

I think based on Dude's comments it might be best to do as you suggest for Twitter and HTC Twitter. I've never had a problem removing both, just with only removing one and not the other, but it might be better to play safe I guess?
[Desire HD Android Development] Dude360:
Google are arses for that! Even if you untick it in the setup wizard I always find it gets reticked in Settings!

Rituals, definitely. I just need to work out where in my flashing procedure is the best place to sacrifice a virgin. Im thinking after the rom but before the rom cleaner, might have to add some more lines to the script to help with the blood...
[Desire HD Android Development] Patrics83:
Guys, I just realized that I have two heavy writers in my thread :D

I love it to be honest. Always high quality post! You two should get married some day ;)
[Desire HD Android Development] zepp3lin:
If you want another user opinion, I remove HTC Twitter and Twitter and only use FB. I got no sync issues at all.
[Desire HD Android Development] xscavio:
Awesome work dude!

Thanks man!

But there's following issue..

It's attached, can't put it in the reply..

Any solutions?

Greeez (:
[Desire HD Android Development] Patrics83:
Thanks mate!

Ofc there is a solution. Clear HTC sense data.

This happend because you didn't full wipe before flashing my script ;)

There is aslo a solution in the script. Read the app list and it is written there.

Good luck! ;)

Edit: Your home screen will be restored to default. All widgets and apps will be gone. So you need to readd them again after clearing HTC sense data.
[Desire HD Android Development] xscavio:
wooow :O how quick man..

now working (:

thanks a lot ! (:

& sorry for asking ;P

hope you had a nice day

Thank you
[Desire HD Android Development] Patrics83:
You did the right thing! It's better to ask then think that this script sucks. ;)

But always remember to read the first post, in most cases you will find an answear ;)

Take care, I hope you will enjoy your new weight reduced ROM
[Desire HD Android Development] xscavio:
i'm with your opinion !(:

I'll do ^^
[Desire HD Android Development] Saluco:
about the sync problem..

i have FB , HTC B and Friends tream revmoved (app and widget) i obly keept HTC twiter (app....widget removed)

and I still can sync

but i removed using System APP uninstall not by your script ..if is of any relevance
[Desire HD Android Development] preacher65:
LOL :D You can usually tell when I'm posting from my phone instead of the PC, as the text doesn't fill up half the screen. :p I can't help it, I try to include as much info as possible so things are clear, plus I just babble on a lot. I'm the same at work but they put up with me. ;)

Back on topic, I think (but haven't tested) that removing official Twitter but leaving HTC Twitter might be okay, just not the other way around.
[Desire HD Android Development] Patrics83:
I mean it, I really like your posts! I wish everyone here could make posts like yours ;)

I thought I would bring you guys a final update of the script this weekend but I am so busy right now. Just bought a new appartment and I'm now building a new kitchen and a lot more so I guess there will be less time to spend on this... :( so maybe a big sign about Twitter and sync issues will be the final update :p

I think you will understand and as Dude360 said, I learnd you guys how to edit the script and make you understand how other stuff works so I think you will do just fine without me for a while...

I will still be around but not so active :)
[Desire HD Android Development] no_johnr:
I still think you should give a warning/info in 1st post about deleting /sdcard/Android when not performing a full wipe...

(it's actually the "/sdcard/Android/data"-folder that shouldn't be deleted unless performing a full wipe)

Grats with the new appartment!!
[Desire HD Android Development] Azwraith7788:
I having a problem here. After flashing rom cleaner, when i send a message, it was sent out but it appears undelivered in my message application:confused:Quite annoying. Don't know what causing this problem... However, I try to flash a new rom but without rom cleaner, it seems to be ok. Anyone can help me? Thanks in advance:)
[Desire HD Android Development] no_johnr:
Did you full wipe? You mean SMS, email or Gmail?
[Desire HD Android Development] Azwraith7788:
Only sms and mms. Email work fine
[Desire HD Android Development] Patrics83:
Never heard of anything like that before. :O

There should not be a single issue with sms after flashing this script.

Did you modify the updater-script? Do you use stock sms app...?

What ROM do you use?
[Desire HD Android Development] Whiskey103:
Hey.. go build new kitchen.

Sent from my Desire HD using Smoke Signals, Morse Code and Pigeon Post.
[Desire HD Android Development] Azwraith7788:
I did not modify updater-script.

I am using stock sms app.

ARHD 5.1.10
[Desire HD Android Development] Patrics83:
Well this issue can't be because you flashed my ROM cleaner. Please full wipe and flash ARHD 5.1.10 again.

I think you are suffering from a provider related thing.

Please report back.

As I said I have never heard of it before...
[Desire HD Android Development] Azwraith7788:
Try reflash later. Report later. Thanks for your help.:)
[Desire HD Android Development] diablo009:
What do these lines do? I am kinda confused.

ui_print("Writing Data From Data Folder In Zip");

package_extract_dir("data", "/data");

ui_print("Writing Data From System Folder In Zip");

package_extract_dir("system", "/system");

Since these folders are empty in the rom cleaner zip, does it mean there won't be anything written to these folders? Want to be double sure.

Edit: @no_johnr: I stole ur sig pic :)
[Desire HD Android Development] Patrics83:
100% correct! You make me think that you have read the first post :p ;)

Those folder are only used if you wish to add something to the ROM. So if they are empty there is nothing to write.

Please read the first post for more details... :)
[Desire HD Android Development] diablo009:
Oh yes, I did. And a few more posts too to get what I wanted :) By the way, the way u compiled the "this is how the script works" is like a one-stop-location for everything, esp for newbies. That is what helped me why u were removing certain apps.

I wanted to be a little sure of that part cos I was running this script on a ROM that I've been using for over a week.

And a huge thanks for compiling this list :)
[Desire HD Android Development] no_johnr:
No prob...stole it myself and can't even remember from who. Sorry.

:$
[Desire HD Android Development] Patrics83:
Your welcome mate! It took some time... ;)

Can I use the Rom Cleaner with Virtuous Unity? Must I do a Full wipe if I want use it or can be used always?

What does it mean if I don´t do a Full wipe??

Activate HTC sense data clearer in the updater-script
[Desire HD Android Development] Whiskey103:
Virtuos Unity is different base.. Pyramid. So my guess it's not fully compatible. Make nandroid and try.

Sent from my Desire HD using Smoke Signals, Morse Code and Pigeon Post.
[Desire HD Android Development] diablo009:
Please post ur outcome :)
[Desire HD Android Development] Patrics83:
It will work but some apps might not get deleted. I never looked in to the app list of that ROM.

If you don't full wipe your device won't be 100% clean, some trash will be left behind.

But if you full wipe, flash ROM, run my script. Flash ROM again and flash my script again then activate the HTC sense data clearer or simpley clear data on a running system.

I'm working on a update of my ROM cleaner and that one will remove stock apps even on sense 3.0.
[Desire HD Android Development] ProreX:
I've tried it on CoreDroid v7 and it worked like a charm. :) No FCs, no unnecesary programs just clean phone. I've even added few programs in script .zip and all added programs installed great.

Thank you for this script and keep up the good work. :D
[Desire HD Android Development] Patrics83:
Thanks for your feedback mate! :D
[Desire HD Android Development] HTCRALEIGHFAN:
can this be used on evo 4g synergy rom?
[Desire HD Android Development] Patrics83:
As I said before ;) I never even looked inside that ROM but I guess it will work just fine.

Just follow the instructions and share your results.

The only issue you might get is 1 or 40 apks that ain't got removed because of diffrent "names.apk"

Good luck mate. Just tell me and I will help you.
[Desire HD Android Development] myxcon:
Same as before, will this tool work on Desire Z roms? (virtuous rom in particular).
[Desire HD Android Development] Patrics83:
Well all "stock" apps in Android will be removed.

Best way to test it is to flash the ROM cleaner after a full wipe and ROM flash.

When you tried it please share your results here and I will help you to correct it in case of troubles.

Good luck! :D
[Desire HD Android Development] myxcon:
Well I flashed it today and apparently it booted ok and no problems so far. It does seem a little slower than usually but im hoping after 2-3 cycles to be ok. Will keep you updated of any errors or issues.

Flashed both cleaner and setup remover.
[Desire HD Android Development] Patrics83:
Hmm, slower? UI is slower or what? Must be some corrupted app how is using far to much of your CPU. Install watchdog and try to track it down. ;)
[Desire HD Android Development] myxcon:
Might have been from this mod I flashed (new icons for usb connection) that I was using for DHD and thought it would work on the DZ. Just installed watchdog today and gonna see also is any app is going berserk on me :)
[Desire HD Android Development] telemachos:
Works, is fast, Rom is still stable. Nice work! How do I have to change it to keep the voice recognition? (im using the Google translator application and would like to keep the speech input) can I download the necessary files from somewhere?

Thanks for help

Tele
[Desire HD Android Development] Patrics83:
Well you should only see speed improvements and a lot more free space after flashing my script. ;)

So slower device = corrupted app :p
[Desire HD Android Development] Patrics83:
Thanks for your feedback :D

Best way is to edit the updater-script in the zip.

Read instructions in first post.

Reflash the ROM and run your edited copy of my script.

Delete VoiceSearch.apk from the updater-script or put a # in front of that command.
[Desire HD Android Development] Patrics83:
Guys just a small heads up.

Remeber that we now moved to a new base (2.50.405.2) so in case you made your special version of my script packed with mods and stuff, please don't run it untill you updated it...

Stock ROM Cleaner still works on new base but not mods. (yet)

:D
[Desire HD Android Development] no_johnr:
ARHD 5.2.0

Memory Used / Storage used

Stock : 142 MB / 155 MB

Rom Cleaned: 122mb / 134mb *

* I kept Note app/widget, and PolarisOffice.
[Desire HD Android Development] Patrics83:
Thanks for the info.

But remember, It's not only about free space the most funny thing to know is how much more free RAM you will have after using ROM cleaner. And ofc we get a much cleaner app drawer plus widget list :p ;)
[Desire HD Android Development] andreipga85:
Mate, which one is the sotck?

i just want to remove some of the apps in the list!

so which is the sotck?

thanks
[Desire HD Android Development] Patrics83:
Sorry mate but I don't understand your question.

To edit the script follow instructions given in first post.

Open zip with winzip and edit the updater-script with notepad++

just remove the lines in the script you don't want to remove or set a # in front of each command in the script that you don't want to remove.
[Desire HD Android Development] no_johnr:
Ofc. RAM is the important (performance) part here. And it gave me 22 mb.

Update ROM Cleaner v1.1 + HTC Setup Wizard Remover + Addon flasher v3

ROM Cleaner v1.1

I was tired of low numbers so I moved to 1.1 :p

Removed Android folder from the script.

Made Optional remove of Twitter in the script due to sync issues for one or two users ;)

HTC Setup Wizard Remover + Addon Flasher v3

Removed the regular HTC Setup Wizard, only Remover + Addon flasher from now on.

Added EXT3 or EXT4 mounting script

Added possibility to clear HTC Sense Data with the script. In case you flash Sense 3.0 All in 1 + Rosie 3D
[Desire HD Android Development] craacK:
u don't really need any confirmation that its working, or? ;D
[Desire HD Android Development] Patrics83:
Nah, :D I know it's working if you follow the instructions :p

And it works GREAT for most users because they don't say/post anything here. I have counters on the download links you know and only a few users post in the thread...

I wish there was more talking here but I guess there is nothing to talk about ;)

Next update will delete all contacs plus albums on SD ;)
[Desire HD Android Development] ABDOKRO1:
Most of us already hit the thanks button, this script runs perfectly.

BTW, can I use your second zip to customize the downanimation? The folder isn't listedin the archive.
[Desire HD Android Development] Patrics83:
I think there is over 1300 users of my tool, that's says pretty much :D

Just create the folder structure inside the zip and put the animation in it. If the folder is empty nothing will be written to your phone so basically you can create every single folder
[Desire HD Android Development] ABDOKRO1:
Thanks to you I'm now back in black (boot and downanimations thanks to your script + splashscreen)

Now I don't have to edit every release from Mike anymore.

One more step on the Android road... :)
[Desire HD Android Development] Patrics83:
Nice to hear mate! :D
[Desire HD Android Development] apple123boy:
May you make a rom-cleaner for Virtuous Unit Rom?

I hope I didn't request too much. Have a nice day, =]
[Desire HD Android Development] Patrics83:
To be honest I can't remember ;)

But I think someone tried it, search in this thread and see if you can find an answear...

Or just nandroid and test it :D

Don't forget to leave feedback.
[Desire HD Android Development] apple123boy:
I tested already.

Due to the name of apps is different between sense 2.1 and 3.0, there are some apps or widgets cannot be erase.

However, it still is useful but need to mod the script a little bit.

The main problem I have is I don't know which apps should be deleted. =[
[Desire HD Android Development] Dude360:
In that case, you can easily sit and edit the script to match the names with the ones in the rom ;)

Shouldnt take you long as pretty much everything in the script is safely removable.
[Desire HD Android Development] Patrics83:
You can't delete sense 3.0 specific apks. I did some tests but that didn't end up well. Only first HTC logo bootloop. :(

Sense 3.0 stuff is ported and removing one apk might break everything... Some widgets can be removed but 3D stuff is tricky.

Maybe Dude360 and I need to work together on that one ;)
[Desire HD Android Development] apple123boy:
Yes, I understand what you mean. But I don't know which apps/widgets can I removed.
[Desire HD Android Development] Patrics83:
Any progress? Did you find out what to remove?

Just tell me and I will do my best to help you :D
[Desire HD Android Development] Blinky13:
Hi there,

just used your script the first time and it mostly worked as intended, but I am a user of the HTC News Widget, so I skipped this two lines:

HtcGreader.apk
HtcGreaderWidget.apk

But if I try to add this Widget, I get an FC (com.htc.RosieUtility).

Sadly I did not find any Post in this thread on this topic, is there anybody, who maybe knows the problem?

Great work by the way, so its maybe just my fault =)

Greets

Blinky
[Desire HD Android Development] aliveanddead86:
Fantastic tool! Thanks!

Used it to not only delete system apps, but also do what Dude360 said, and put apps I use on there to save downloading all over again.

Cheers for the hard work!
[Desire HD Android Development] Patrics83:
Hmm, well delete this from your updater-script. (# = ignore command)

#delete("/system/app/HtcGreader.apk");
#delete("/system/app/HtcGreaderWidget.apk");
#delete("/system/app/GenieWidget.apk");

Also try to clear HTC Sense data, you can do it manually in settings, program, manage program, all (find HTC Sense) clear data.

Please report back.
[Desire HD Android Development] Patrics83:
It's really nice to read feedback like this :D

You really know how to max the script ;)
[Desire HD Android Development] Blinky13:
Not deleting GenieWidget and clearing HTC Sense data did not help :(

Do not know, what can cause that problem ;-)

Maybe I will do some try and error later, but I do not have too much time.

EDIT: Thanks for your help anyway =)

Hi I desided to try your script today, I flashed Pyramid_HTC_Europe_1.35.401.1_v1.3_EU.zip. then your script

But I got an error mess saying status 7.

Experimenting...

First I experimenting on my already flashed pyramid rom v1.2 and see if it removes what I want to ... and if not I am flashing newer pyramid v1.3 anyway.

I have excluded the twitter things from script by putting #sign in front and I have also not deleting .android_secure folder by putting #sign because it has all the apps. which I moved to sd card to save phones space.

Edit**

well, I think we NEED Patrics83 help in this because I am getting same error msg. as jaypeg123 with foll. addtional lines ..

E:Error in/sdcard/ROM_Cleaner_v1.1.zip

(Status 7)

Installation aborted.

Istallation of the zip stops at the begining when it trying to look for some partition stuff... even though I have ext. partition on my sd card.
[Desire HD Android Development] tdizzle404:
do i need to edit the script cause i tried to flash as is and it just aborted.
[Desire HD Android Development] Patrics83:
Please send me the updater-script from that ROM.

I will fix the mounting issue.
[Desire HD Android Development] Patrics83:
The reason why you got that error is because you used maybe winrar to open the zip?

And also you maybe didn't use notepad++

Open (not extract) the zip with Winzip, open updater-script with notepad++ edit what you want, then just close the editor. Let Winzip repack the zip, done.
[Desire HD Android Development] Zahurtex:
Thanks your quick reply! Yes, I did not use notepad++ I will use it this time but I will still e needing that updater-script because @jaypeg123 and I are on the same pyramid rom.
[Desire HD Android Development] Patrics83:
I need the updater-script from that ROM since you have a mounting issue on the system partition.

So please send me the file or copy and past it to pastebin.com and give the link.
[Desire HD Android Development] Zahurtex:
Can you guide me pls where can find the updater-script in the rom zip? Thanks and sorry for the noobs question :o

ok,ok,ok, I found it ..... posting it here ... moment pls.
