You mean this why I have problems with some Widgets to stay/work after a sweep with my ROMCleaner_user.txt? (see my sig...)

Doh !!!! :eek:
[HTC Sensation] Patrics83:
In short yes!

Can you upload all your logs so I can have a look?

Also, did you use ROM Cleaner v4.0?

Awesome follow up!

Done!

Absolutely!

Ok To help you a bit in your investigation, here is what I tried to keep :

Look at the attachment named : Screenshot_3D_Calendar

The BEFORE and the AFTER shows all the Widgets available and you can see that something is removing them even if nothing with "Calendar" is in the _user.txt file.

Thank you Patric for the support, it's appreciated! :)
[HTC Sensation] Patrics83:
Ah, well.. A list of safe to remove apps with descriptions would be nice :p

Just downloaded v5.5.0 and will have a look at it.

Edit: after a quick look at it I can't see anything special that isn't included in ROM Cleaner already. Any hints? :D

I'm getting lazy and old you know :p
[HTC Sensation] Patrics83:
You flashed this after second boot ;)

All you need to do now is to clear HTC Sense data and all installed widgets should be visible again :)

Your home screen will be cleared as well!

Let me know if that fixed your problems.

And it's better if you add a "#" in front of apps you wish to keep. Makes it much easier for me to check what you wanted to do... :p
[HTC Sensation] Lucky Thirteen:
Oki, will do!

---------- Post added at 01:11 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:47 PM ----------

You are correct, the Widgets are back in availability after clearing HTC Sense cache. I just flashed the new version of my ROM and it work even after the second boot. :p

I misread the instructions form the first page of this thread, I thought I had to flash after the first reboot, I was wrong, my mistake.

Thank you Patric! :)
[HTC Sensation] Patrics83:
:D

This was a very good example why we let all our scripts create a log file ;)

Now enjoy a fully customized and clean ROM :D

Hello there!

First of all, great tool! Used it very often on my Sensation with ARHD.

I have a question, will this tool still work on a rooted Sensation but with S-ON?

Thanks in advance for your answer!

Cheers
[HTC Sensation] Patrics83:
Yes as long you have a custom recovery installed...

Also good to know, If you have a deodexed ROM, all apps you remove with ROM Cleaner will leave a odex file in system/app and I'm not sure if that will will cause any problems except much wasted space.

Can you add the aroma installer? I mean, it's better when you could say what should be deleted :D

Sorry for the bad English.

Gesendet von meinem HTC Sensation mit Tapatalk 2
[HTC Sensation] MarckX:
Aroma installer can be added to Romcleaner for selecting files to remove, but it would be a waste of time imo. Let me explain this:

If you have opened the ROMCleaner.txt (after flashing) or the ROMCleaner_user.txt, you would see there is a large amount of files that are to be deleted from your phone. If you have to select them all in Aroma, it will cost lots of time. Besides that it you will have to redo it each time you flash a ROM.

Now, if you edit ROMCleaner_user.txt once to your convenience, you can use it every time you flash a ROM without having to select everything again. The meaning of these tools is not only to clean your ROM, but to reduce flashing time as well. :cool:

Note:

The only time you have to edit your ROMCleaner_user.txt is when Patrics83 is providing an update that needs a new format. But 99% of the time ROMcleaner will be updated, you are able to copy your personal settings to the newly provided ROMCLeaner_user.txt file. :D

I hope this answered your question ;)

RC really seems fantastic, im getting ready to use it for the 1st time, i just have a two questions (after reading 400+posts in this thread)

1)So the backup zip will backup all the my apps from /data/app folder? and then after i flash the rom, then rom cleaner and after the 1st boot i run the mods and apps installer zip to reinstall those apps that were backed up?

Thanks for making this program and working so hard to answer peoples questions, its much appreciated, u have a funny sense of humor (aka drawing that map to the search function) :)

EDIT: Never mind, I cheated and decided to read below the red line that stated "EVERYTHING BELOW THIS RED LINE YOU DONT NEED TO KNOW"
[HTC Sensation] Patrics83:
Hi there!

I'm glad you like it! :D

By flashing Backup Tool you will backup apps from data/app (to first boot folder)

When you flash ROM Cleaner all apps will be installed again.

Mods and app installer will only be needed if you add a lot of apps or what ever to secondboot folder.

No map this time :p

Q

Is there a way to write sounds into the user txt file?

I'm using only one sound for notification, one for alarm and one ringing sound for the fon. When I go into the rom as zip file and delete the unwanted sonds out, they will still be in when flashed. They may be in kernel or somewhere???? Don't know :D

Is it possible to remove unnecessary megabytes?
[HTC Sensation] MarckX:
The sounds are not located in /system/apps or /data/app, so if you put only the names in the custom section of ROMCleaner_user.txt, they won't be found and can't be deleted (file not found).

But you can delete the sound files if you include a "full/path/to/files".

so adding this to your user.txt will delete all soundbytes in the folders

"/system/media/audio/alarms/*.mp3"
"/system/media/audio/notifications/*.mp3"
"/system/media/audio/ringtones/*.mp3"
"/system/media/audio/ui/*.ogg" (not recommended!!! = system sounds)
"/system/media/audio/ui/*.mp3" (not recommended!!! = system sounds)

and for bootanimation sound:
"/data/local/*.mp3" (not present in Elegancia ROM)

These are some locations to look at for the soundbytes... but I know you will find some more locations if you look at it. :p

BTW: If you have your own sounds, just place them in Firstboot folder of Romcleaner (most folders are already there). You just have to put them in the specific folder and ROMCleaner will place the soundbytes there where you placed them... :cool:
[HTC Sensation] Prinz069:
Thank you!!

Will have a closer look at it when I flash next time :) For now, I'll delete them through root explorer....
[HTC Sensation] Prinz069:
So, for example, if I would define those lines

"/system/media/audio/alarms/*.mp3"

"/system/media/audio/notifications/*.mp3"

"/system/media/audio/ringtones/*.mp3"

there will not be installed any sound. But!! Will the folder get created anyways? If, then I could copy each sound manually into specific folder after first reboot. I think this could work. Should be tested next time :)
[HTC Sensation] Patrics83:
Yes it will work ;)

Sent from my HTC One X
[HTC Sensation] Prinz069:
Nice, will do so.....this will free me also some space

PS:In which line should those prompts need to get written? In that part where the added and rom specific apps are in (line 89-...)?
[HTC Sensation] Patrics83:
You can add them anywhere in the txt and it might be a good idea to keep them in your the "user section"

Also check a folder called videos, I saw files in there you might also want to remove, space freak :p

Do you know how to get rid of that latitude app, i cant find an app with any name similar to that in data/app or system/app, i want to add it to romcleaner since i never use it
[HTC Sensation] Prinz069:
You won't find it cause it belongs to google maps. Same as locations. You need to uninstall maps
[HTC Sensation] Patrics83:
Open cmd, go to ADB folder

adb remount

Hi everybody,

I'm new to Rom cleaner and have a question.

I used the romcleaner_user.txt file and added or removed some #.

Everything well but one thing....

The speak to text function is gone. Which apk did I remove???

I really like this when I'm in my car and want to send a text....
[HTC Sensation] malybru:
Hi,

Are you talking about this:

#	Text-to-speech engine for Android. Used by Google Maps etc.

#GoogleTTS.apk Google TTS Engine

#PicoTts.apk This is the text-to-speech engine for Android

#TtsService.apk Part of the text-to-speech engine for Android

#"/system/tts/" Language files for text-to-speech engine

:)
[HTC Sensation] baco200:
I don't know how its called... I hold down the language selection button on the keyboard, in whatsapp for example...I talk and the words appear. It's working in every Rom but after the Rom cleaner script its gone.

If I'm not mistaken the lines u discribed, I didn't remove.

I tried a few times but its gone every time, so it must be another apk
[HTC Sensation] malybru:
Hi,

You do not say what user text you use,or what ROM you have .

In the 3.5 user text there is also this:

VoiceDialer.apk Talk to dial a number

VoiceSearch.apk Talk to dial a number

com.google.android.voicesearch*.apk Talk to dial a number

googlevoice.apk Google Voice Search (Google Search Bar etc.)

GoogleVoice.apk	Google Voice Search (Google Search Bar etc.)

com.google.voice*.apk Google Voice Search (Google Search Bar etc.)

which is set to remove...

:)
[HTC Sensation] baco200:
Edit: I deleted the txt to keep the thread clean....
[HTC Sensation] MarckX:
Hi there baco2000,

Please don't post txt-files here, because we want to keep the thread clean and readable. If you can't upload it in the thread, you can always use something like Dropbox or Pastebin and paste a link to it in your post.

In your txt file I can see that not all files having to do with txt2speech have been commented, just like Malybru already said. Following files at the bottom of the applications section are still being cleaned by ROMCleaner because you're allowing it to do so. If you comment following files, (just add a #-sign in front of the line) you should be fine imo.

So just Change:

VoiceDialer.apk Talk to dial a number
VoiceSearch.apk Talk to dial a number
com.google.android.voicesearch*.apk Talk to dial a number

to

[COLOR="Red"]#[/COLOR]VoiceDialer.apk Talk to dial a number
[color="red"]#[/color]VoiceSearch.apk Talk to dial a number
[color="red"]#[/color]com.google.android.voicesearch*.apk Talk to dial a number

And if you have done so, please reflash and report back, so we can evaluate, or go on with your case ;)

Cheers!
[HTC Sensation] baco200:
Yes, it works now, thanx a lot

I presumed that talk to dial had nothing to do with the talk to txt.

Hi,

How can I remove Friend Stream please? I never use it.

Thanks.
[HTC Sensation] Patrics83:
The best thing you could do is to use a file explorer with root access. Go to /system/app and find FriendStream.apk, then rename it to FriendStream.apk.bak or something. Then reboot.

Why rename it and not just delete it?

Many users including myself have "end less syncing" after removing this apk

Good luck!

I've no problems removing Friendstream with the RC. But you can also try RomTool Box after the flash to delete it.

Hi Patrick!

How are you?

Got a question again ;)

Is there a way to add something like this into settings restorer:

at settings > Sound > vibration feedback OFF

and

settings > Language and Keyboard > HTC Sense Input > Vibration feedback OFF

And restore settings from Whatsapp and Facebook so we don't have to fill in account settings everytime after a clean flash!

Thanks mate!
[HTC Sensation] Patrics83:
Hi, I'm just fine thank you ;)

And you?

It is possible to backup and restore everything but not without problems :D

That's why we didn't backup "Main Settings" since it might cause some strange issues. You know what they always tell you in ROM dev threads, NEVER restore SYSTEM SETTINGS ;)

So we have picked a few things that in most cases works just fine no matter what ROM you are using etc.

I suggest you backup these settings with 3rd party apps such as My Backup Pro or Titanium Backup for now...

And regarding Facebook I don't think it matters if we backup app data because it needs you to allow HTC Sense integration manually, that's why you have to enter your mail and password again even if the account is active in Settings Account.

[HTC Sensation] el7145:
Im having great difficulty keeping some apks from being installed.

Heres the scenario: I open the rom im gonna install and check data/app to see what i dont want in there, add that apk name to rom cleaner, install rom, run rom cleaner, and apps still show up that i put in rom cleaner.

Gmail, facebook, HTC mail, ES file explorer, and other various ones

what am i doing wrong here?
[HTC Sensation] Patrics83:
Something for sure :p

But please do this:

Copy ROMCleaner_user.txt from /sdcard/ROMCleaner to /sdcard/ROMCleaner/Logs. The zip that folder and upload it here and I will have a look what you might have done wrong.

[HTC Sensation] Prinz069:
Quick one, cause it could have happened to someone before.

Using RC for Sense 4 rom and edited my User_list so far. But when it reboots the first time, there are some widgets missing. Don't know why cause I didn't marked them in my txt. It could be within Sense 4 that something causes that strange behaviour. May a deleted app, theme or widget....

It's

Weather lockscreen

profile widget

photo widget

airplane widget and another one I don't remeber now.

I put them all manually back into sys but I think this is not the intension....

---------- Post added at 03:05 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:02 PM ----------

Same here, but you also need to watch out for revision. Sometimes apps get updated. Deleting all leftover will be done by Rom toolbox which works fine
[HTC Sensation] Patrics83:
Well there might be different names for apps and we can't follow all ROMs and look for small changes like that. But just let us know if there is name changes I'm the ROMs you are using and we can add it. Or you just add it in your user.txt.

If widgets is missing you must have failed with your user.txt or you flashed it after first boot.

Clear HTC Sense data and see if that helps...

Otherwise let me know exactly what widgets is missing and then upload the logs including your user.txt :)

And I must ask you, what is that all about ROM ToolBox?

There shouldn't be any needs for apps if you used ROM Cleaner at least not apps that removes apps :eek:

Sent from my HTC One X
[HTC Sensation] Prinz069:
The rom toolbox is like a swiss knife, not only for removing apps. I use RC by every flash but from rom update to rom update when revisions change and I don't recognize early, I uninstall 2-4 apps after first boot. That's ok, cause it's more the other feature of the toolbox....

It depends on what you do not want or what you want to delete. some apps are linked together and will cause problems when deleting. I tried everything out since I started using RC.

ROM Cleaner v5.0 r2 - AROMA

Hi guys!

I know long time has passed since you had an update...

Anyway below here you have an early release of ROM Cleaner v5.0 ;)

OP will be updated as well but when I have more time...

All feedback is welcome!!

Enjoy! :)

ROM Cleaner v5.0 r2 - 2012-08-03

-All scripts packed in unique AROMA Installer

-Almost all scripts are rewritten to work better in a AROMA environment

-Backup Tool

* All backups are now stored in /sdcard/ROMCleaner/Backup

That means "FirstBoot" folder is empty unless you add apps manually.

-New in ROM Cleaner:

* You can decide if you want to restore your apps during ROM Cleaner install.

* You can also decide if you want to install files located in "FirstBoot" folder.

* And of course we added a "No Cleaning" option as well which will

let you restore apps and install files like normal!

-App restore changes:

* When you choose to restore your apps a script will check if you use one of

the supported ROMs. If you use any of the listed ROMs below all pre-installed

apps will be removed before all other apps are copied to your /data/app.

This is to prevent old/double apps from being installed.

Supported ROMs at the moment:

* Android Revolution HD

more to come...please let us know what ROMs we should add...
​

ROM Cleaner v5.0 r2 - AROMA

ROMCleaner_user.txt - Sense 3.0 - 3.6

ROMCleaner_user.txt - Sense 4.0

no changes are made to the ROMCleaner.txt​

I am a quite user of RC since some 2s version and now its all made as easy as 123... with Aroma installer. Congrat :)

I wanted to use the backup tool which I never used before. I found it very usefull but one concern, since its backup all 6 catagories i.e Apps, Acc, B/t, HTC sense, Mail and wifi keys.

My suggestion is to make each one of the backup selectable, for example I want to backup all the settings except Applications because for that I use TB.

Maybe you can implement that in future release. Thanks again for such a usefull tool. :good:
