First make a Nand Backup! Although I may have flashed this about 100 times, I never had to use it, but hey, you never know.

It's not necessary to flash folder creator first if you do only a backup and restore, but it's highly recommended for a full use of all scripts!!!!!

So just flash Folder Creator first. This is a one time flash if you don't wipe your SD-card. It will create the needed folderstructure for full use of ROMCLeaner. After that can should flash Backup tool. It uses the created folders with Folder Creator.

If you do it like this:

- Make a Nand Backup;

- Flash Folder Creator;

- Flash Backup Tool;

- Do a full wipe;

- Flash ROM;

- Flash ROMCleaner;

- Reboot;

- Flash HTC Setup Remover;

- Flash SettingsRestorer.

After this, you can flash apps and mods restorer, but it requiers some extra work in the folders the Folder Creator provided. All apps and mods that are copied into the Romcleaner folder on your SDCard will be copied (restored) to your newly flashed ROM.

You're on some really thin ice here mate...... :D
[HTC Sensation] Rolando88:
Patrick mate i Accidently removed weather and widgets im on ARHD 6.6.0 is there a way to get them back without reflashing rom again?
[HTC Sensation] MarckX:
You can extract the removed files from your flashed Rom and copy them to /system/app folder wiht Root Explorer. Check the rights of the files and make 'm the same as the other files in the folder. That should do it!
[HTC Sensation] Rolando88:
Thanks again mate

noob Q

hi there,

just a quick noob question:

I want to test the RC but dunno how.

i don't need a backup as I'm flashing nearl on a day to day basis (everythings backed up cluodwise).

Would it be enough just to modify the text file?
[HTC Sensation] Patrics83:
If you don't want ROM Cleaner to restore all your apps (/data/app/*.apk), then you won't need Backup Tool.

Just make sure you edit ROMCleaner_user.txt and when you are done, move it to your sdcard (/sdcard/ROMCleaner)

Then just flash ROM Cleaner after ROM flash...

Please just let us know if you more guidance.

Good luck! :D

[HTC Sensation] Prinz069:
Patrics83, thx for your quick response. I had a look on the text file, but I don't understand its structure so far. Will have a look later when I'm back home.

I'm on Elegancia_ICS_Phoenix rom and delete my unwanted apps ( 67 currently) with Titanium after the flash. But I'm afraid that it will leave garbage systemwise.
[HTC Sensation] Patrics83:
Np at all ;)

Make sure you use notepad++ and it should be pretty clear. If not we are here... :)

[HTC Sensation] Prinz069:

Cannot wait :)

Ok, I just downloaded Notepad++ on my office machine and opened the text file (is it the same like in the zip file which will be replaced by flashing???).

When I, for example, want to de-install or not to ínstall wallpapers and LWP's which are in text file line 373-384, how would be the procedure? Will they all be deleted/uninstalled, or do I have to delete everything out of the major text file which I want to keep?
[HTC Sensation] Patrics83:
ROMCleaner.txt comes from the zip and will always be replaced with the one from the zip when you flash ROM Cleaner.

But if you haven't flashed ROM Cleaner yet I recommend you to download ROMCleaner_user.txt from download section.

ROMCleaner_user.txt will never be replaced not even if you flash ROMCleaner _v86.zip :) :p

When it comes to how to edit the text file,

#
# HTC Wallpapers & Live Wallpapers
#
#Galaxy4.apk Black Hole (wallpaper or live) (AOKP)
#HoloSpiralWallpaper.apk HoloSpiral Wallpaper
#HtcImageWallpaper.apk HtcImageWallpaper
#HTCLivewallpaperStreak.apk Streak
#LiveWallpapers.apk Google's Live Wallpapers
#LiveWallpapersPicker.apk Live Wallpaper Picker
#MagicSmokeWallpapers.apk Google's Magic Smoke Live Wallpapers
#Mode10Wallpapers.apk HTC live wallpaper
#NoiseField.apk Bubbles Wallpaper
#PhaseBeam.apk Phase Beam Live Wallpaper
#VisualizationWallpapers.apk	Music Visualization Wallpapers
#WeatherLiveWallpaper.apk HTC Weather Live Wallpaper

In this ^^ example no wallpapers will be removed. Because they are outed with a "#"

If you remove "#" in front of the *.apk it will be deleted by the script.

Like this

#
# HTC Wallpapers & Live Wallpapers
#
Galaxy4.apk Black Hole (wallpaper or live) (AOKP)
HoloSpiralWallpaper.apk HoloSpiral Wallpaper
#HtcImageWallpaper.apk HtcImageWallpaper
#HTCLivewallpaperStreak.apk Streak

#Mode10Wallpapers.apk HTC live wallpaper
#NoiseField.apk Bubbles Wallpaper
#PhaseBeam.apk Phase Beam Live Wallpaper
#VisualizationWallpapers.apk	Music Visualization Wallpapers
#WeatherLiveWallpaper.apk HTC Weather Live Wallpaper

Galaxy4.apk and HoloSpiralWallpaper.apk will be deleted in this case.

Hopefully it's a bit clearer now, if not just let me know ;)
[HTC Sensation] Prinz069:
YesSir..got it...

So, the script is for a standart rom. If I have a custom one and want to delete thoese apps which are build in, I just need to add the xyz.apk to the list, wright?
[HTC Sensation] Patrics83:
Yes that's correct! :D

You can add any app to your ROMCleaner_user.txt

In detail it works like this.

The updater-script loads a binary that reads your ROMCleaner_user.txt and anything it can find in that txt it will search for and remove it from all possible places except /sdcard ;)

You should have a look at the guide for more details, also have a look at the change log...

But only if you want to.

Happy flashing and please report back when you are done :D
[HTC Sensation] Prinz069:
:)

Need to study first. My wife already ordered a gun, or something else to hurt me when I pass the 100 flashes per month :)

You divided the text file into parts, like wallpapers, crap, social media apps, sys apps and so on.....so, I will put the rom app I do not want to have just somewhere there, or is there a sequence where to put the specific app in a line?

Pls forgive me....I'm no coder or cook (I tried with WinMo) so I'm looking for the noobiest way to hit my target. I can currently do it with Titanium, but it's pain i.t.a. to do all the de-installing after flashing. That script would real help me saving time :D
[HTC Sensation] Patrics83:
Study, wife or GF first!!! Always first (Don't end up like me :D)

We added a section for users to add own apps, line 87-95

Just to make it easy when we update the txt...

This script will save you so much time that your wife will ask you if you have stopped flashing :D

And please don't lie to her about it... If you do, this is a sign of flashoholism ;)
[HTC Sensation] Prinz069:
I see, you're experienced in ;)

Tomorrow I will have a lot more time to try & error...Thank you so far....now I need to obey .....haha

We have a bank holiday tomorrow & ****ty weather, 24h off for FLASHING!!!

Hi Patrics83

As you said in this post

I have tried V.3.5 with ARHD 1.2 for One X and it left a lot of apps.

I confirm that.

Waiting for the new version next Sunday or Monday. :)
[HTC Sensation] Prinz069:
I just edited the User_txt, pls see file attached, and put the apps from the rom in which I will flash now. Hopefully I did it wright :)
[HTC Sensation] Patrics83:

It's the modified text file I downloaded from page 1. I just flashed rom cleaner after flashing the rom (without reboot). Seems to work :)

Have to finetune the text file for now....

Good job guys!!!!
[HTC Sensation] Prinz069:
Will the text file be updated with other apps?
[HTC Sensation] Patrics83:
I'm not sure what you mean...

Sent from my GT-P7510
[HTC Sensation] Prinz069:
What I mean is, different rom cooks build in different apps.

The User_txt or text file which is responsable for those apps you want to have deleted is once in the zip file, and once in the RC folder on SD.

I think, by flashing the RC it will first take a look if there's a custom txt.file on SD before deleting apps regarding the txt file which is in RC.

Anyways, it worked fine for me and I deleted nearly everything. Some apps I removed manually, sounds are still all in but that's ok for me.

Will your list/text file be expanded with new apps?

Newer roms/RUUs contain new application. They might be on the txt file as well to get deleted. If not, there's still the way to put them in manually (line 87-95 :))
[HTC Sensation] craacK:
we always keep looking for new apps .. and for sure when there are new RUUs.. unfortinately we cant check EVERY Rom, so we just take the most popular.

however.. if u find some apps we missed (because we dont use sensation roms) you can tell us and we will check them.
[HTC Sensation] Prinz069:
yo craak, this sounds pretty good to me......

Whom can I pm a list of the most popular apps build in ICS_Sensation roms? :)

Hi,

I think you can only install this immediately after you flash the ROM,before the first boot.

Sorry fot that, Patrics83......

Just wanted to make it more clearly to show how a personalized txt will look like

---------- Post added at 02:09 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:03 PM ----------

To keep it as simple as it is:

Between line 85 and 97 you can put in manually all apps you do not want to have installed after first boot (after flashing your rom)which aren't in the user_txt.

All other apps can be choosen by unchecking/deleting the "#" in front of the app. All those non-marked apps won't be installed.
[HTC Sensation] Patrics83:
I noticed you had some doublets in your list.

For that specific ROM you should add only:

com.htc.skin.Memories-1.apk
com.htc.skin.PurplePassion-1.apk
com.htc.skin.ChineseNewYear-1.apk
com.htc.skin.MusicLoverB-1.apk
PaintingTheWorld.apk
TVOut.apk
WiFix_1.2.apk
com.siriusapplications.quickboot-1.apk
com.droidgram.spareparts-1.apk
MySketcher.apk - REMOVE this only if you wish to disable (PWR,Home button screenshoot function)
com.eclipsim.gpsstatus.com
com.google.android.apps.books-1.apk
com.google.android.apps.currents_1.0.1.apk
com.staircase3.opensignal-1.apk

Will you also include Sense 4 aps into the text file?
[HTC Sensation] Patrics83:
A lot of apps will still be left in the ROM. 70-80% of the app names is different :)

But you can flash it... I just say I wouldn't :D

Sent from my HTC One X
[HTC Sensation] Prinz069:
Oh yeah, there are plenty of apps in which aren't in the list. Useful for users is to open the rom with winZip or Rar and to copy the name of all wanted apps out of the rom. That's what I did. Or, flash the rom, note all apps and reflash with edited user_txt. But beware of the app name!

The One X txt_file will fit my needs, I saw :) Nearly all of the apps I do not want to have are already in :)
[HTC Sensation] Patrics83:
Or you just let the pro handle it...

One X is only for One X and to avoid problems you will have a list based on popular ROMs for your device.

Sent from my HTC One X
[HTC Sensation] Prinz069:
I will give a try :) Anyways, it's just a simple text file. What should get damaged? If there aren't apps in the rom but on the list, nothing will happen, I guess :)

I will flash a Sense 4 rom by tomorrow evening and will try the One X text file on my Sensation Xe and report if everything works:D

Once again, thumbs up, Patrics & team and keep up the good work!!
[HTC Sensation] Patrics83:
Yeah it's very simple... And you can try what ever you like but still we want to do it correct, not just add apk names.

Description is even more important.

And we try to keep it as clean as possible. Just to help our users, not everyone are comfortable with editing this simple txt file :)

Anyway I appreciate all your help and feedback but flashing One X version and then give feedback is out of interest really. I know it will cover most apps in Sensation Sense 4.0 ROMs. And since I also mentioned a update there is really no need to test anything just for testing if you see what I mean ;)

@Rolando,

most of them are already in the Sensation user_txt file. All the other apps can be put manually in it. Think it was between line 85 & 97 where you can put them in

edit:// setting (hat) will be set up wizard
[HTC Sensation] Rolando88:
so it should be like this?:

#==========================================================================================================================

#YourAppHere.apk !!!This will only work if the App is in /data/app or /system/app!!!

#"/data/app/YourAppHere.apk"

"/system/app/Automotive_Home.apk"

"/system/app/LocationPicker.apk.apk"

etc

etc

#==========================================================================================================================

#
[HTC Sensation] Prinz069:
I did it without giving the path. Just the app name like

Automotive_Home.apk

LocationPicker.apk.apk

My advice: Open up your rom file (zip) and take a look for the apps name, right click on it, rename/copy apps name and paste into list.

I saw you're also on Elegancia ;) If you want, I can sent you the name of the apps I put in
[HTC Sensation] Rolando88:

in the instruction to run rom cleaner after ROM install and before first boot.

can this app still work properly eventhough i've had the ROM installed for a number of days already?
[HTC Sensation] Prinz069:
I wouldn't recommend this. RC's intension was to run after flashing the rom and before first boot. Apps won't get installed. Now, after first boot, when apps are already installed, I would prefer Titanium Backup or Rom Manager to uninstall existing apps.

RomCleaner works best before first reboot after installation.
[HTC Sensation] baste07:
thanks! i'll just check the text file for the list of apps that RC is suppose to remove, in that way i know i can remove them using TB
[HTC Sensation] Prinz069:
No, you can't remove all listed apps afterwards. With RC script those apps won't get installed. Once installed you cannot uninstall them without causing problems.....Sense for example.....

Get the Rom Manager and see what you can uninstall. If this won't be enough, write down the name of the apps you don't want to have, look in the rom zip.file for correct app name and put it into your User_txt file. When you will flash next update you can run RC script.....OR!!!

Reflash rom again, without wiping and run script before first boot. If you flash over your current rom, nothing will get changed, no data lost, and maybe RC will do it's job also. I tried it, and it worked for me. But it could be, that it worked only cause I already deleted/checked/uninstalled those apps in the installation before caus I run the same User txt
[HTC Sensation] Patrics83:
Just flash ROM Cleaner like normal and in case of issues clear HTC Sense data.

This is not recommended but it will work.

If you get problems, you need to follow the correct flashing procedure. (Super wipe, ROM flash and ROM Cleaner then reboot)

Good luck

Sent from my HTC One X
[HTC Sensation] baste07:
Thanks ill go with tb for now, i'll wait for the next rom release and keep this in mind
[HTC Sensation] Patrics83:
That's true and the ROM and old data will still be present and that's why we in some cases gets trouble like random FC on HTC Launcher or even worse.

Over the year we have seen so many issues with removing apps on a running system so we said that the only thing we could support is if you flash it right after Super Wipe and ROM flash. This is how we test it and this is also the only way you will get max out of ROM Cleaner ;)

If you super wipe, flash the ROM and then ROM Cleaner you will have a perfect running system.

And when a new ROM is out and you want to update without super wipe and keep your data, just make sure you flash ROM Cleaner again before you boot the updated ROM.
