This can't be ROM Cleaner related... The script does the same except it now does it faster and using a better method to make it more flexible for our users.

Also remember you use a HD2 right? Also on a ported ROM... We can't be sure every single app in that list can be removed with out any troubles. Since ROM dev's some times needs to merge other apps together, so removing on can break something else... :D

Ok, I am going to try romcleaner without deleting any sense 3d widget I have read somewhere deleting any of them breaks sense and causes fcs which I am facing now. I am going to delete whole sense 3 widgets delete section from the script and see how it goes.

Meanwhile a quick question regarding another very usefully feature of romcleaner i.e auto installing apps at first boot. Can it install flashable zips as well? Cause normaly after a ROM flash I install some mods like battery percent and custom lock ring etc.

I have not read the whole quick guide of 2nd post but like to know if I can install apks and zips on 2nd and 3rd boot.
[Desire HD Android Development] Patrics83:
Yeah as I said. Ported ROMs might get problems when deleting some apps. So if this is the case the users need to test what causes the FC.

Also maybe share to others what made it FC. On stock sense 3.0 ROMs there is no problems.

Yes you can install mods. Just extract the content from the "mod" zip. But you need to spend some time to read the guide mate...

Hello guys,

Away from home (and XDA) for the past weeks, I discover ARHD 5.2.6 and ROMCleaner 2.2.

I'm happy of my ARHD 5.2.3 configuration, but I can't figure out how to keep it once upgrading to 5.2.6, even with the use of RC 2.2.

The problem is that I don't remember all the apk's and widgets I have previously removed, and trying with these updates, I don't have the expected result at all...

Hopefully I had a Nandroid backup and I 'm afraid I'll to stay to 5.2.3...

It's getting more and more complicated to remember and recognize previous settings.

I'll be away one week again, but I'll check what you think of it once back.

BTW, why not using a PC GUI setup like cxAlex_ did ?

Cheers,

Lim.
[Desire HD Android Development] Patrics83:
Sorry my frined I do not fully understand your question... :o

We dont have an app to do this because we do far more stuff with this script then cxAlex_ does with his PC application.

And also we don't have the time to create an app for this. But we do have a plan for how the app should work :D always something hehe.
[Desire HD Android Development] Limerick_fr:
Hi Patrick,

Sorry for not being clear.

I have just few hours at home and I tried to update from ARHD 5.2.3 to 5.2.6 using RC 2.2.

And I failed because I couldn't remember which apk's and widgets to remove with RC 2.2 to keep the look of my current ARHD.

Then I choose to restore my Nandroid because I had no time to try an try again (I need my DHD running fine for tomorrow and the following days, while away).

Lim.
[Desire HD Android Development] Patrics83:
Ahaa :D

Well if you haven't been using ROM Cleaner 2.x before you need to read a few lines to know how to use it...

If you have been using ROM Cleaner 2.x before and already have a romcleaner_user.txt then that one can be used again but no changes from newer versions will be used except the script it self. Like the way how it mounts deletes files etc.

[Desire HD Android Development] Limerick_fr:
Well, I haven't been using RC 2.x before but I read carefully the all the lines. ;)

But my problem is to recognize which .apk's to remove.

This is not obvious to guess which ones to remove to have the exact look of my current configuration...

I'll be back next week, have a good week-end,

Lim.
[Desire HD Android Development] Patrics83:

So just flash and be happy!!

The nice part is, now when we have new base and this is not a ported ROM. I found some more apps to remove ;)

I'm not sure when we will bring you this update but I hope before this weekend :D

Also we have been collecting some more stuff from other ROMs.

Minor changes to updater-scripts and corrected a busybox command used when deleteing files.

And.............maybe a suprice also............ ;)

[Desire HD Android Development] Patrics83:
QXDM2SD.apk - I think it is the new function to encrypte sdcard content.

TrimIt.apk - Mulitmedia editor (Ringtones)

LMW.apk - No idea yet. But I think it's SDCard related.

HtcDMC.apk - HTC Digital Media Controller

If you do not want to remove something, just put a "#" in front of the line.

if u want to delete HTCTwitter it is:

/system/app/HtcTwitter.apk

if u want to keep it u either delete this line or do it the easy way and put a # in front like this:

Hey, for now i can tell you that you are not the only guy having this FC ;)

if u just have Facebook in Friendstream it is ok, but the minute u add Twitter account u will have FC on that widget.

Patrics83 will do something against it ;)
[Desire HD Android Development] aLkRicha:
What will be if i delete this?
[Desire HD Android Development] Patrics83:
Most likley you wont be able to encrypt sdcard content... Never tested it and it's a very small apk :D And it's not taking any place in appdrawer..

Please share your result.

Before you delete it check sdcard settings.

Solution for FC on Friendstream Widget

You have to keep /system/app/com.htc.Twitter3DWidget.apk

I had those FC when signing into Facebook and Twitter.

Remember: u can sign into more accounts like Flickr and Plurke etc.. maybe to change the _user.txt working for that, too.

This change will be taken to ROMCleaner v2.3 and ofcourse more stuff like full support for newest Sense3 ROM.

It's service to determine your location... Some source said it's not needed since android already has it...

I think I won't include it in the default script just to be sure there wont be any issues... ;)

Keep this apps to make sure every single location and navigation application and function is working. Some of them will maybe not be needed ofc.

I hope this is the answer you where looking for... ;)

[Desire HD Android Development] Wiingy:
hey thanks for the update,

In the past, I was used the rom to delete certain system files, for example RIL files, then I would use the FirstBoot folders to copy over the replacement files.

Now that you have it set to copy personal files first, I just want to clarify that my files in the FirstBoot folders will Overwrite the original files included in the rom.
[Desire HD Android Development] Patrics83:
Yes if we are lucky! :D

According to some tests we did it should now work.

Please let me know your results ;)
[Desire HD Android Development] Patrics83:
Your welcome mate!

I never deleted RILs... :p kidding

What the script now does.

First it installes your apps or files to your new flashed device.

Then it will delete files from your device if they are in the list.

If you install a file that is in the list it will get deleted yes.

Please tell me if I have missed a weak spot :D
[Desire HD Android Development] reneftw:
I really don't understand how this works. I'm not freackin' retarder, but I can' understand the instructions.

First of all, the zip of my ROM_cleaner.txt is here: /sdcard/ROM_Cleaner_v.2.3.zip\META-INF\com\google\android\. and not /sdcard/ROMCleaner/ROMCleaner.txt as specified on the second post.

Second, should I create a new text fileRom_cleaner_user.txt and copy it in the same location as Rom_cleaner.txt? If so, should I delete Rom_cleaner.txt or leave the both text files there?

I swear to God, the edit of the "update-binary" was 10 times easier.
[Desire HD Android Development] craacK:
ok, since u already edited the romcleaner.zip pls redownload it from first post.

additionally download "ROMCleaner_user.txt from ROM Cleaner v2.3" .. this ROMCleaner_user.txt u can edit with Notepad++ to your likings.

If u had run ROMCleaner 2.x before, u have that folder "ROMCleaner" on your sdcard.. (if not run Folder Creator before all of this^^)

Into that Folder .. "ROMCleaner" u put the edited ROMCleaner_user.txt!

done... now u only have to flash ROMCleaner.zip and thats it
[Desire HD Android Development] napster113:
Thank you just intime for the new coredroid ROM .
[Desire HD Android Development] reneftw:
Thank you very much for your help.

So, for one last time:

1. Reboot in recovery-use folder creator

2. Reboot phone, copy the ROM_cleaner_user.txt to ROM Cleaner folder. Do not delete ROM_cleaner.txt. Before, I edit the user txt by deleting lines or inserting # in front of them.

3. Recovery-install new ROM (I know the steps from here).

Is this right?
[Desire HD Android Development] craacK:
As long as u name it "ROMCleaner_user.txt" (thats the name by default when u downloaded it from FP, not case sensitive) , yes thats totally correct :)

[Desire HD Android Development] MarckX:
Nice one guys..... Thanx for this new release. I will report back this weekend... but only after I've enjoyed it first.... :D
[Desire HD Android Development] preacher65:
I'm not an expert on this (sorry Patric and Dude, haven't used Rom Cleaner yet! :eek:) so I hope I won't add confusion to this. But the path looks funny.

The fact you're seeing a META-INF folder tells me that either (a) you unzipped the Rom Cleaner ZIP file onto your sdcard, or (b) you're opening the Rom Cleaner ZIP on your phone with a file explorer and it's showing you the contents of the zip. So you're seeing the RomCleaner.txt file inside the flashable zip, not the one it creates for you on your card. If you want to use a custom list rather than the default one, you need to create/edit ROMCleaner_user.txt, not ROMCleaner.txt, and put it in the /sdcard/romcleaner folder. I'm sure someone will correct that if I'm wrong.

Anyway, hope to find time to master this myself over the weekend, so thanks guys for 2.3! :)

[Desire HD Android Development] preacher65:
Well, there was one error in my post (now corrected, but it's there in your quoted text ;)) - you don't edit romcleaner.txt, you edit romcleaner_user.txt. Which of course craacK had already pointed out. ;)

And which I've just finished doing for myself. Man, you guys sure like to scrub your phones clean! I'm keeping some of the "crap", but that's the beauty of this system, as I can choose for myself.

Next up is a nandroid backup, followed by a Rom Cleaner-style upgrade using the guide. (Dude's guide was awesome, told me everything I needed.)

The only reason I haven't used ROM Cleaner before is that I've been too busy at work to wrap my head around it. I really liked this system when I read up on it. Now I'm about to use it I appreciate it even more. And once I took the time to read the guide from beginning to end, I realised it was a lot simpler to use than I had imagined. Great work guys. :) :cool:
[Desire HD Android Development] reneftw:
After I edited ROMcleaner.txt, observed that it didn't worked, I redownloaded the ROM Cleaner zip. Used the full menu, super wipe and all but still no effect.

Thank you very much for your help, guys. Usually I don't need so much nursering, don't know what's going on here.
[Desire HD Android Development] preacher65:
Don't edit romcleaner.txt, as every time you flash ROM Cleaner that file gets overwritten with the default one. Download romcleaner_user.txt from the first post to your PC, edit it with Notepad++ (not normal Notepad), and copy it to the /sdcard/romcleaner folder.

Then when you flash ROM Cleaner, if it detects romcleaner_user.txt it will use that instead of the default romcleaner.txt.
[Desire HD Android Development] reneftw:
That's what I did for the second time and it didn't worked. I attached the logs, I am waiting to see what Patrics83 thinks.

Also, I couldn't download ROMcleaner_user.txt regarding that the link from the first post takes me to a browser page with the text in it. So, I created myself ROMcleaner_user.txt on my computer, then copied the text from that page with notepad++ and added some # in front of application. Can't see what I did wrong.
[Desire HD Android Development] preacher65:
You can right-click on the link to ROMcleaner_user.txt in the first post and choose "Save target as" or "Save link as" (depending on your browser).

Hopefully Patric or one of the others will be able to help more. :)
[Desire HD Android Development] MarckX:
And if this doesn't work, I sent you a PM with a dropbox link..... :)
[Desire HD Android Development] reneftw:
Thank you very much for your help, guys. I think this is the problem, the ROMcleaner_user.txt I made looked like in the picture attached. I think this could be the problem.

Should I full wipe and install ROM again, or just clear HTC Sense data, boot in recovery, flash ROM cleaner.zip, reboot, boot in recovery, flash HTC Setup wizard?

L.E. Oh ****, it looks the same. I'm going nuts.
