Well isn't this a Sense/android related problem?

I'm not using ARHD ROM so I can't test it.

I really thought this was corrected in latest OTA, hmm.

The guide in second post is much better to read if you want to know about how to use the script.

However, we don't support "stock" ROMs (rooted HTC RUU ROMs) main reason is because it's not deodexed so all odex files will still be left in your system after removing system apps.

Flash ROM with full wipe is something you do when you flash a custom ROM from recovery.

And it's strongly advised that you take the step in to the world of custom ROMs :D

However if you have a stock ROM that is flashable from recovery, wipe data in recovery before you flash the ROM and directly after the ROM before reboot flash ROM Cleaner.

Now reboot your device and restore your settings if you want.

Remember to make a backup of your apps and data before you wipe anything ;)

Haha sounds awesome!

Did you notice the speed improvements? :p

ROM speed or which one are u referring to? I won't be able to tell difference in speed of the ROM (if it is), as of yet. But i thought i had more free ram with my taskmanager, true or not true, it's a 'feeling'. But the downanimation was COOL!
[HTC One X] Patrics83:
Nah I mean the scripts.

I have removed/replaced a lot of stuff to make the flashing much faster :p

So I guess you didn't notice haha

The down animation is really nice! All credits to MarckX! :D

RomCleaner 2.4 (sense-default) worked okay for me on JB Sense 4.1.1 (maXimus).
[HTC One X] Pimmr:
Will ROM cleaner 2.4 definitely NOT work on ARHD 10.0.0 (JB) or would it be a matter of try and see?
[HTC One X] jonas2295:
It will work
[HTC One X] MarckX:
Yep, Jonas2295 is right. ROMCleaner has even been optimized for JB's known bloatware as well. Patrics83 works fast as lightning when he spots something new or interesting....:cool:
[HTC One X] Patrics83:
Yep it will work on Sense 4.5 with JB as already mentioned...

OP updated as well :D

BTW according to amarullz, a new AROMA version will soon be released so we are hoping that we can do even more magical stuff with ROM Cleaner in the future! :D
[HTC One X] Gandicela:

Rom cleaner as been tested on jelly bean by myself :')

Same smoothness, perfection and no issues.

Btw Htc added a new app for the media link. It has a video inside it really good quality which means it should use some space :P you might want to add that to remove in next versions. Maybe a simple tick option to remove media link support or not if you choose no sense!? :)

Take care guys!

Hello Patrics83,

I'm totally new to ROMCleaner but in my Elegancia Rom Forum there are quite a few followers who are very happy to use your tool and who made me want to try also.

Unfortunately I get stuck in a frozen screen and am not able to press next in startup. I Superwiped, flashed my new Elegancia Rom and tried ROMCleaner 2.4.It starts up nicely but then a big freeze.

I thought it is compatible with HTC Sensation but maybe I'm mistaken? What am I doing wrong or did I miss?

Apologies if this is too noob to be true............................

And here I come, busting gods balls. ;)

Perfection looks like this: Couldn't you make an app out of it that remembers what was uninstalled/cleaned and backs up these settings so that when a new ROM is flashed or updated and the app is installed, it will take care of cleaning it live (or on reboot)?

[HTC One X] SecUpwN:
Use TitaniumBackup to freeze it, then test your phone for a couple of days. If it works as you like, delete it.
[HTC One X] Pimmr:
I always use ROM cleaner (its supposed to be excellent so thanks for your hard work!) but somehow the backup tool never seems to restore any settings for me. So I always end up manually adding my accounts, home screen setups, and I restore BT pairings and Wifi settings using Titanium.

But I would actually love it that it ... well it would just work ;)

Here's my method:

1. I flash backup tool prior to ROM flash, all options checked.

2. I flash new ROM (ARHD, full wipe, no mods)

3. Immediately followed by ROM cleaner without reboot (cleaner sense, restore apps & settings checked)

Here's the results:

1st reboot: After walking through HTC setup screens, all looks stock. Sense is stock, home screen is stock, 3 dots menu setting is stock, etc (not sure if the last is supposed to be restored) and I have no accounts (missing google, twitter, facebook, dropbox) in Accounts & Synchronize. Apps are restored but it seems no settings.

If I then reflash backup tool and just select additional script > restore settings and I reboot, ONLY the home sceens and some widgets are restored, but all the other screens and settings are not restored.

So my question, what am I doing wrong? :confused:
[HTC One X] Patrics83:
Hi,

The problem is that you are trying to restore data before first boot.

1) Flash Backup Tool

2) Flash ROM with full wipe

3) Flash ROM Cleaner and select restore apps

4) Reboot

5) When booted, pick your provider in Setup Wizard and sign in at Google.

Let it sync your contacts and settings from Google cloud.

6) Reboot to recovery and go to Additional scripts menu.

Press, Settings Restorer and everything except apps will be restored.

7) Reboot and use your device.

So the main problem is that you missed the important step of a reboot before restoring settings.

So, why don't we restore settings before first boot?

Well the reason is simple, we can't do it because before first boot there isn't even a /data/data folder in your system.

Of course we can still restore the data but it will only be overwritten by the system during the first boot so we are forced to restore our settings after a full reboot.

I hope this will help you. If not, just let me know ;)

/Patric
[HTC One X] Pimmr:
Ah. It's perfectly clear to me now. If feel a bit stupid but thanks a lot for explaining what goes on behind the scenes, that helps understanding why the intermediate reboot is needed!!
[HTC One X] Patrics83:
No need to feel stupid :)

Please let me know when you have tried it again.
[HTC One X] Pimmr:
OK so I tried exactly as your described method.

Was on ARHD11.0

Flashed backup tool

Flashed ARH11.1 with superwipe

Flashed ROM cleaner sense and checked restore apps

Rebooted, selected carrier, language and signed in to Google

Went to accounts, checked sync contacts, mail, calendar and waited until sync notification dissapeared

Went to recovery, flashed additional script- restore settings (I noticed this is finished in an instant, not even 1 second?)

Rebooted, now I *only* have my home screen setup and some widgets back and the screen where my calender widget was placed. Other 6 screens are empty (evernote widget, doubletwist, pulse, folder organizer, seriesguide). Wallpaper is stock. Sense settings is stock (3 dots menu setting etc).

Furthermore, in my accounts list still only Google and weather is mentioned, so missing Linked in, Facebook, Dropbox. BT pairings list is empty. Wifi list is ok.

So... what still am I doing wrong?
[HTC One X] Patrics83:
I'm at work now, so I don't have time to write a long post.

But please run log collection in main menu and upload the output here.

Edit, I'm still waiting for the log collection file. ;)

I need it to see what happened. Otherwise I can just speculate and that will not give us a solution.

Settings restorer is very fast. The backup files are very small ;)

[HTC One X] Pimmr:
This is weird. 100% positive I have 2.4 to start.

And I followed above steps, backup, rom install, clean+apps,reboot,setup,additional script restore, reboot and following your request I collected the logs. Or do I need to collects the logs right after restoring settings?
[HTC One X] Patrics83:
Logs should be collected after all scripts are flashed right after or 1 day after it doesn't matter.

But as I see it you only flashed backup tool and nothing more.

If you had the latest version the RC_LogCollection.tar should have date and time in the file name.

So something isn't right and I have no idea why this happens only for you :s

Great work guys love the no-sense version! Works perfect for me on ARHD 11.1.

And if you're missing "Google Now" on JB, that's actually the Google Search app. Maybe a no-brainer for you all but it took me a while to figure out ;)

Thanks again!
[HTC One X] Patrics83:
I just had a look at your logs and everything looks fine.

Why your homescreen isn't restored properly is very strange :S

I think we need to wait for other user reports before we can find the problem because all needed files are restored as they should...

When the launcher is restored, all widgets/folders and apps should be restored. wallpaper and other settings is not restored by settings restorer.

Regarding accounts I have no idea really.

Bluetooth pairings. Did you enable bluetooth? Because only then you will see paired devices... Maybe a stupid question but I must ask ;)

I'm really sorry that I couldn't help you anymore then this.

I have never faced these problems myself so it's very hard to find out what's causing it...
[HTC One X] ABDOKRO1:
My Folder Organizer widgets are never restored. I can live with that, but just to let you know...

[HTC One X] Pimmr:
Hi and thanks for taking a look at the logs. Yeah I check the BT pairs when BT is enabled and they are not there. But same goes for general sense settings like used lockscreen, 3dots menu setting, etc. And of course the accounts.

Also I would expect my homescreens like your screenshot, however in my case only the home screen is restored, others are empty. That includes folder organizer widgets by the way.

Anyway it's not really a big deal.. the cleaning part works just fine, and if I run titanium afterwards almost everything is back to normal.

And this is only when I do a full wipe of course, intermediate rom updates can just be flashed and cleaned without having to restore anything.
[HTC One X] Patrics83:
Hi,

Lockscreen, 3dots menu setting will not be restored so that's normal.

I do believe the backup is corrupted or something. Can you please PM me the launcher_backup.tar? (No personal information is stored there.)

And if you don't mind even the bt_backup.

I'm going to restore it on my phone and see what happens.

[HTC One X] Pimmr:
See attached. I did take a look at the files using Notepad++ and can recognize the BT pairs and widgets I am missing are in there. Curious to hear how they restore for you.

Edit: even the accounts backup shows they are in there. So the backups must be ok, something going (or doing) wrong in the restore progress.
[HTC One X] biictorr:
Thanks for this script. Its really helpful for quickly restoring after superwiping and for getting rid of all those unwanted apps:)

One thing: I'm on ARHD 11.1 and was wondering what I could put into the user script to get rid of all of the keyboard language packs. There's about 30 of them, and I'd rather not manually uninstall after every flash. Thanks.

EDIT: totally skipped over the input method section. Sorry. /noob

Thanks again for the script though.

Guys, it's been some time i did not used ARHD but today get back to it with JB (ARHD 12).

Do you think cleaning the rom makes this really smooth rom much smoother?

First of, this is for all ROMs except MJAUI or what ever its called :p

And secondly yes it makes the ROM "smoother" and you don't have to scroll your thumb off in app drawer or widget list too find what you are searching for. ;)

[HTC One X] MarckX:
Nope, not necessary. You can use the one you have. :cool:

But if you always want to be sure of the latest bloatware removed: download latest version and copy your "add your own apps or files here" section in the new _user.txt

Yes, you can. Extract Stock.apk and StockWidget.apk from your ROM.zip, copy them to /system/app and set permissions to rw-r--r--. After a reboot you can use the Stock app and the widget as well. :)

edit: don't forget to add a # in your ROMCLeaner_user.txt for a next session ;)

Have you tried clearing the data for your mail app yet? :fingers-crossed:
[HTC One X] -Zork-:
Thanks MarckX, :good:
[HTC One X] Patrics83:
You might need to clear HTC Sense data as well else the widget won't show up in the list. This will clear your homescreen.

If you have already set up your homescreen run our Backup Tool and backup only Homescreen. Reboot and clear HTC Sense data.

When done check if your widget is back.

If it is, reboot to recovery, flash ROM Cleaner and then press Additional Scripts and Settings Restorer, when done, reboot and all should be back as normal again.

If i use this on a stock rom, will I break any OTAs I could be getting?
[HTC One X] Patrics83:
Too be honest this is kind untested on stock ROMs.

It shouldn't break HTC OTAs but I recommend that you dl ROMCleaner_user.txt or NO-Sense_user.txt then add a # of everything you either don't know what it is or apps you want to keep. (Follow the guide in 2nd post and use notepad++ to edit the txt if you are on Windows.)

When done with the edits, create a folder in the root of your sdcard called "ROMCleaner", now copy your user.txt to that folder.

When you flash ROMCleaner that user.txt is going to be used.

I hope I didn't scare you now :)

Just wanted to make sure you got it right from the beginning ;)

OK, might be a retarded question but I have to ask:

Using TeamWin Recovery where you can queue Zips for flashing and installing Android Revolution HD 12, can't seem to work out how to get Romcleaner to work.

Can I queue Superwipe script, ARHD Rom and RomCleaner or do I do something different? Doing all 3 seemed logical to me but RomCleaner says its doing stuff but I still have horrid sense even when I make sure I select NO SENSE.

Help Me ObiWan's you're my only hope !! :)

EDIT: Duh, yes, after another reboot it all was fine and Sense gone

How to enable the script to be used in a graphical interface on my linux rack? Or can you recommend some other program for my computer other than the flashable AROMA installer? I'd like to be able to remove all unnecessary stuff from my ROMs BEFORE flashing..
[HTC One X] MarckX:
You won't be able to do that with the provided ROMCleanerscripts without some drastic edits to it.

What I would do in your case: copy the ROM.zip of your choice, and make a copy. Open your copy with a compression program like archiver, 7zip or similar and remove the unwanted files manually.

Edit: you can use sd one diff programs as well to save some time. :)

But as you have to do this every new version of the ROM again, I still recommend the (flashing) ROMCleaner method, as you can edit it for all the ROMS you are using saving lots of time and providing more features...

As the flashing method is the one chosen by our teamleader, we will stick to that. ;)

As for cleaning the way you want it: on xda you can find a Windows based program you can run through Wine, but I can't remember if I have seen one for Linux. You have to ask Google for that. Good luck finding it :D
