sry, seems like i didn't read properly... did only read through romcleaner_user and did not see, that all aps are listed in first post.

Thank you very much, will try that :)
[Desire HD Android Development] Patrics83:
Maybe you should spend 5 min on reading and you will soon find out even more features like backup apps and stuff like that ;)

Hi guys,

Can someone confirm this order for me? It's similar as the friend above, but I want also to flash some mods.

01 - Super Wipe

02 - Flash Rom

03 - Flash ROMCleaner

04 - First Boot

05 - Setup Phone

06 - Flash HTCSetupRemover

07 - Reboot

08 - Flash Advancer Power Menu

09 - Reboot

10 - Flash Keyboard Mod

11 - Reboot

12 - Flash Old Market

13 - Use Phone as Normal

Is this correct?

Thanks everybody!
[Desire HD Android Development] Patrics83:
Yes it's correct. Why shouldn't it be?

However you should add all your mods to firstboot folder. Will save you 3 reboots ;)
[Desire HD Android Development] hhoverflow:
Oh, thanks for the advice! I'll do that!
[Desire HD Android Development] Patrics83:
Cool ;)

Remember to read the guide when it comes to add mods.

Some mods needs to be installed on second boot. Battery mods for example.

I don't know if that's normal since, it's the first time I'm using Rom Cleaner, but when I go to system/app using Root Explorer I find some APKs that I always used to delete by hand before.

Can I delete them or there are any reason to keep them on my mobile?

For example:

- FriendStream.apk (this I read that in some cases, bugs the sync)

- HtcImageWallpaper.apk

- HtcTwitter.apk (this I read that in some cases, bugs the sync)

- Stk.apk

- WifiRouter.apk

Is there any special reason why I should not delete these files? And to see if I'll have bug with the sync, can I move them to another folder and then after a few days if everything is OK, I can delete for sure?

Thanks for the help!
[Desire HD Android Development] Patrics83:
You need to read the app list in first post to see what apps is being removed by the script. ;)

- FriendStream.apk - Removing this will cause sync issues for most ppl.

- HtcImageWallpaper.apk - Hmm, I forgot the reason for it... Will check it.

- HtcTwitter.apk - Can cause sync issues for 1 of 100 users. You need to make a user list and edit it to be able to remove it with the script.

- Stk.apk - Sim tool kit. Something that could be useful. Not a big apk and no icon in appdrawer so I left it in the ROM.

- WifiRouter.apk - I personaly would never delete this app since this app makes it possible to share your mobile internet to computers and other devices.

so first time i tried this after having my rom running for a week it gave me an error in validating the update or something saying build.prop was missing, im going to wipe and reflash and try again, also do i need to put anything in the folder on sdcard if i just want to use the default script or do i actually have to put the default script in the folder, running a gingerbread 2.2/3.0 sense rom on droid eris

i tried reflashing and same result
[Desire HD Android Development] fidoedidoe:
Been following this thread for some time now. Just want to thank you guys again for this wonderful utility. I've flashed arhd lots of times over the last few weeks, and the script works perfectly every time (use my modifed _users.txt).

As has been mentioned more than once reading the instructions (all of them) is a must! I've had fault free experience from the outset.

Keep up.the great work guys!
[Desire HD Android Development] gol_n_dal:
quick question before I start:

I'm thinking about installing: RUU_Pyramid_HTC_Europe_1.45.401.2_Radio_10.56.9035 .00U_10.14.9035.01_M_release_208857_signed

As I understand it this will require revolutionary to be re-run after the initial re-boot and setup to get S-OFF, su and Recovery back on the phone.

So can I:

Backup Data (Titanium & Nandroid)

#Folder Creator - skip

Backup Apps

#SuperWipe - skip

#Flash Rom - skip

Install RUU

First Boot

Setup Phone

Run Revolutionary

Install Recovery and SU

Boot

Flash Cleaner which will also install apps

First Boot ** Hmm won't be the first boot but the second/third boot after RUU and setup and Revolutionary

#Setup - This was done earlier

Flash HTCSetupRemover

Restore Data - Titanium user data

Normal Reboot

Use clean and smooth running Phone!

I guess the difference is running cleaner after setup instead of before. Is this likely to cause issues ?
[Desire HD Android Development] Patrics83:
I have no idea what you mean. Sorry.

Everything is in the guide when it comes to add apps and other things to the ROM while flashing ROM Cleaner.

[Desire HD Android Development] Patrics83:

Almost everything we write has a reason, so yes the guide is there to be read by the users.

We will do our best to develop this tool and so far only minor stuff.

[Desire HD Android Development] Patrics83:
Well this is not a recommended method but ofc it will work. Just make sure you clear HTC sense data.

And why flash a RUU?

[Desire HD Android Development] killakrishook3r:
im running a sense (with some 3.0 features) GB rom on a droid eris. when i try to flash your zip file, it says:

verifying update package...

E:missing file:

System/build.prop

E:verification Failed

aborted

it does this if im already running the rom or if i flash it right after flashing the rom.

i also went through and manually deleted everything i could from the list using root explorer(yes i read the warning about this in instructions)

and it said it didnt do anything in the application settings as far as space. and it went in a boot loop when i try to reboot to refresh the system, so im hoping to get this to work as i only have like 15 mb left and only like 4 non system apps
[Desire HD Android Development] Patrics83:
Hmm, please give me a link to the recovery you use.

Also send all logs if any.

It seems like your recovery asks for a build.prop every time you want to flash something.

Edit; Did you edit the zip file? If you flash ROM cleaner directly after full wipe (system, data) do you get same error?

Sent from my Desire HD
[Desire HD Android Development] killakrishook3r:
not sure about recovery as it is an old one from a while back, i need to update it somehow, ill get the rest in morning, no i didnt edit the zip

Does it support edify? Please check first post and see if your recovery supports this script.

I wanted to go to stock 2.3.4 minus some of the bloatware. I'm still trying to get to grips with the Battery usage profile.

I ran it anyway and as expected it all worked fine, I just cleaned a bit more out of the ROM afterwards using Root Explorer. I suspect the ones I took out are more specific to me than standard usage though.

Thanks for your work and the quick response.
[Desire HD Android Development] Patrics83:
Happy to hear it worked for you.

What apps was missing in the script? Anything you think I should add?

Sent from my Desire HD
[Desire HD Android Development] gol_n_dal:
Lol,

I didn't take any notes.

I had some odex files left from the deleted APK.

I seem to remember Stocks and the various FMRadios.

Nothing major, I just looked at running apps after a re-boot (using Advanced Task Killer) and if it was something I never used deleted it. Plus some other odds and sodds I saw when using Root Explorer.

I don't seem to have deleted anything major at the moment, touch wood.

And NO I don't use Advanced Task Killer to manage apps on a regular basis, I just use it as a sanity check on an ad'hoc basis.
[Desire HD Android Development] Patrics83:
Ok guys I started to work on a update for ROM Cleaner v2.3.

Is there anything you would like to add or "remove"?

Please give me some ideas and inspiration ;)

calculator, task manager, calender, but thats just me

also i tried this on my friends inspire and it worked fine, idk why it doesnt on my eris, i managed without it and found some more space but thanks
[Desire HD Android Development] Patrics83:
Did you upgrade your recovery?

3.x.x.x minimum.

I will add them. But not removed as default. Calendar might be cause some issues but I will look in to it.

Thanks for the input.

Not yet, I think 4.005 is the newest. That might be a dif recovey though. Im busy and will check and update in morning.

Also for me, ive never had problems for deleting calender

Well that recovery might also do the trick. But Ofc if you are on >3.x recovery it won't matter I guess.

Regarding your FC issue on Titanium Backup.

We are pretty sure this happened because you didn't log in to your Google account and there for titanium verification didn't work.

Also check if the license key is an apk. Some apps today are encrypted and repacked to a zip file. And zip files can't be installed Ofc.

Next time please use setup wizard and tell us if this fixed the issue ;)

Thanks for noticed :D

Well I thought that stupid Weight reduction line didn't stand out for what this combo of tools could do...
[Desire HD Android Development] gverilla:
First of all, that is a great tool, thank you for providing it!

With that out of the way ;) , I can't delete any app with it. I'm sure I am missing something basic, but I don't know what! Here's my setup:

1. I downloaded your tool and the romcleaner_user.txt(only slightly changed, added twitter to deleted apps)

2. put romcleaner.zip into /sdcard/rom/ and romcleaner_user.txt into /sdcard/ROMCleaner/

3. (backup'd, then...) superwiped my phone and installed ARHD 5.2.5 then flashed romcleaner, without rebooting inbetween

4. rebooted afterwards to see all apps being still there...

Any help is appreciated. Thank you in advance!
[Desire HD Android Development] Patrics83:
LOL! ;)

Thanks mate! :D I like your how you started your post.

1, Maybe you didn't use notepad++ when editing your user list?

2, Correct. Maybe wrong folder names?

3, Correct.

4, Didn't ROM Cleaner reboot automatic?

Please send me your log files and your user list located in /sdcard/ROMCleaner/

And I will be able to see what went wrong.

Alright, here you go...(Thanks again for looking into this!)
[Desire HD Android Development] Patrics83:
No problems mate. I'm here to help you know ;)

As I said before, you didn't use notepad++ when you edited your romcleaner_user.txt

When you use other editors like Microsoft notepad you will lose the unix code in the txt file and the script can't read it.

So just redownload romcleaner_user.txt again and edit it with notepad++ link to notepad++ is in first post ;)

I'd like to know if this script could work on Virtuous Unity or Doubleshot for the Desire Z/T-Mobile G2. I tried so far, and no. lol. But it's working pretty great on my stock Desire Z Gingerbread ROM. I just have to tweak on what I want to keep and not.

Thanks for the great work!
[Desire HD Android Development] Patrics83:
Please give me a link to that ROM and I will check what makes it not to work.

I was assuming I'd have more free memory in the task manager but seen that it had the same amount before running the script. I'm wanting to try this because having to use ghostly gingerbread sms is really bothering me since the ROMs take up so much of the g2's limited memory. I tried uploading the rom cleaner log but it said invalid file?

OMG! I have flashed this ROM now maybe 30 or 40 times!!! And I can't make it to FC :eek:

First time after I flashed the ROM it gave me FC on launcher but that never happend again. I have really tried to reproduce this but I can't.

I used Super Wipe script before every ROM Flash, after I flashed the ROM I used a default ROM Cleaner and still I can't make it to FC.

I have now set the ROM up and will use it all day tomorrow. Restored all my apps, sms, mms and some other stuff.

ROM related? ROM Cleaner related? Still no idea :confused:

Edit: Almost 12hours up time and not a single issue except really bad battery drain ;)

But ofc I'm used to ARHD :D and this 2.33 is in beta stage...

I can reproduce the exactly same problem on my device. Even if I don't know what "FC" exatly means (I'm new to android-scene), my Launcher (HTC Sense, com.htc.launcher) keeps on crashing, on and on.

I tried everything, deleting HTC Sense data, rebooting many times, no effect. It keeps on crashing.

1. Used Super Wipe Utility

2. Flashed Android Revolution HD™ 3.0.0

3. Flashed ROM Cleaner v2.2 (without booting new ROM before)

My Device: HTC Sensation Z710e

I did a few changes to the romcleaner_user.txt, maybe that is the problem. I will try to make all steps again with a clean one now. Things I changed:

I removed # in front of those entries:

#/data/app/AdobeReader.apk

#/data/app/ESFileExplorer.apk

#/data/app/Facebook.apk

#/system/app/com.adobe.reader-1.apk

#/system/app/AdobeReader.apk

#/system/app/AppSharing.apk

#/system/app/com.facebook.katana-1.apk

#/system/app/Facebook.apk

#/system/app/htcmailwidgets.apk

#/system/app/htccalendarwidgets.apk

#/system/app/htccalendarwidgets3d.apk

#/system/app/htcmailwidgets3d.apk

I added # in front of those entries:

Removing Wallpapers... -> I did not remove any of the walpapers.

I will report if using the clean version of the tool fixes the problem.
[Desire HD Android Development] Patrics83:
The problem dhruv.arora25 talked about is on Virtous Unity 2.33 beta ROM

And you have it on Sensation? With ARHD ROM?

I can't reproduce that issue at all, tried 10 times turn off/on background data and no issues at all. Been running this ROM for 17 hours now.

And those changes you did wont affect this.

Me and craack did a lot of tests yesterday I will report back when we have discussed his results.
[Desire HD Android Development] craacK:
FC on Virtuous Beta

above me: FC means Force Close (=crash)

since yesterday in the evening Patric and i tried to figure out what causes the constant FC. Sadly for him, his ROM is working fine ;D he just got 1 single FC at the very beginning, thats it.

For me: same problem as you guys have

what we did:

- Superwipe

- Flash Virtuous Beta

- Flash ROMCleaner default (no user list)

everytime when i go to the homescreen (the 1st one) i got a FC; every ****ing time. it doesnt matter if i am logged into google or not. it is just after flashing the rom.

Yes, in the very first beginning i got FC again, but after , lets say 2-3minutes, not a single FC until now (17hours now)

so please try to flash rom cleaner with a userlist where u just delete or out-# this line written above
[Desire HD Android Development] MarckX:
I'm not on this rom but it sound like the FC's are generated by creating (wrong)appdata. So in my opinion cleaning data will only cause more FC's. :rolleyes:

Maybe you can flash the rom without cleaner and if there are no FC's compare appdata folder contents to the cleaner one. Don't forget to check permissions on the folder and the files.

And try to clean data with rom without romcleaner and check if the fc's are showing up. If not you know homesceen is crosslinked with some app.

Maybe it's a start in the right direction......

Ps got the same at another Rom, but after self-crashing my PC, I haven't had the time to check it out. I will be back on that if I'm fully operational
[Desire HD Android Development] Patrics83:
Also to you how get's FC please remove MySketcher.apk from your user list or redownload ROM Cleaner v2.2 or romcleaner_user.txt from v2.2 they are updated.

This app makes it possible to take screenshots... I had wrong info about it.

Also it might be a reason for FC since it is a app how is activated from build.prop so right now I have no other ideas.

Will continue the hunt later this evening :D
[Desire HD Android Development] dhruv.arora25:
Is the mods and app installer zip for installing apps backed up to SD card using your zip file...?

Because I want to re flash the ROM but without the ROM Cleaner for now but I still want to back up and restore the applications using the tool cause it is not a pain in the ass.. :P
[Desire HD Android Development] smint86:
So... I tried these things written above, FC still keeps going on. But I found out where exactly the problem occures (at least at my phone). It is the HTC Clock Widget (with weather) which is place on the homescreen by default. If I remove the widget the FCs stop! If I place the widget on another screen and slide to it: FC.

Somebody else can approve this?

I have the assumption, that the removal of some htc stuff affects the widget to work as it should. So the FC occur. Maybe that is the solution?
[Desire HD Android Development] dhruv.arora25:
Ummm anybody...?

I'm waiting for a reply and then I'll flash...

Thanks :)
[Desire HD Android Development] Patrics83:
I tried everything no FC at all...

I think this might be down to device related ****.

I'm talking about hardware and provider related stuff.

Maybe the sound when weather animation is running?

I have no idea and I have really tried evreything now :(

It's like removing twitter or peep. I have no issues but maybe 1of100 gets sync issues :confused:

Please try and test everything and report it to us.

If you backup apps to SD they will end up in Firstboot folder.

Second boot folder is only used for manually added files.

You can always move stuff from firstboot to secondboot... Reading guides would told you this already ;)
[Desire HD Android Development] dhruv.arora25:
Sorry but I didn't quite understand....

I want to back up my apps using the script provided in this thread and I want to restore them automatically without using the Rom Cleaner script...

can this be achieved..? If yes how...?

Thank you.... :)
[Desire HD Android Development] Patrics83:
Well I want to be sure ROM Cleaner isn't the reason for it... And right now I don't think it is.

So it's very importent for me to find the cause for random FC on Virtous ROM.
[Desire HD Android Development] Patrics83:
Yeah, and I told you... :p

Flash backup apps to sd.

Manually Copy /data/app in firstboot folder to secondboot folder /data/app

Flash Apps and mod installer

(If you didn't flash folder creator, do it first)
