Update - ROM Cleaner v2.0

ROM Cleaner v2.0 - 2012-10-27

-All scripts packed in unique AROMA Installer

-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.

* You will have the to choose from a menu what to backup.

-New in ROM Cleaner:

* ROMCleaner.txt has been updated with some new apps and descriptions

* If you are about to flash ROM Cleaner after first boot, then you will get a warning and the option to clear HTC Sense data.

-New in ROM Cleaner NO-Sense:

* NO-Sense is not using ROMCleaner.txt any more!

It has been replaced by NO-Sense.txt and NO-Sense_user.txt

* You will be able to choose between 5 different launchers in AROMA:

APEX, NOVA, Holo Launcher HD, Zeam Launcher GO Launcher EX!

* Disable HTC lockscreen and also restore it if you regret it.

(Restore lockscreen option will be visible in "Additional Scripts"

menu if you have disabled it)

* Thanks to itandy and his "Lockscreen Shortcuts App"

you will now be able to use HTC Lockscreen with shortcuts!

* Fixed PIN Security when using AOSP Lockscreen

-Common for both cleaner methods:

* If you use your own *_user.txt you must rebase it on v2.0!!! delete your previous ROMCleaner folder from your sdcard and start all over.

* 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:

* ViperOneS

* TrickDroid

* Axiom

please let us know if you want us to add other ROMs as well...

There is even more stuff added in this release but we left some

stuff yet to be discovered by YOU

Download this right now and try it out!

All feedback is very much appreciated!​

Crazy changelog! :D

Enjoy guys!!!
[HTC One S] MarckX:
Wow...... This is a real update!:cool:

C'mon guys hit us with some feedback! :laugh:
[HTC One S] Patrics83:
I hope they will prove I'm wrong about One S users!!! :D

This is the biggest changelog in ROM Cleaner history!
[HTC One S] Smokem_I:
The update is fantastic! Everything packaged together seamlessly! Setting up my backup and firstboot folders right now, then I'll be flashing everything!
[HTC One S] abracadabra11:
This is an absolutely terrific tool. I can't for the life of me understand why more people aren't using it. It basically allows you to put SENSE on a major diet and speed-up a great device.

Thank you for the work.
[HTC One S] Patrics83:
Thanks! I'm glad you like it ;)

In fact many ppl are using it. But not OneS users :p

Spread the word about the new update and maybe more ppl will try it :)

I have used it for my sensation all along and love it. My wife just got an iPhone 4S so I could be taking over her one s and continue to use this script. Got some lurking around to do in the forum to see what I would like to try out. Will provide feedback when possible. Big thanks to the team here. Kudos
[HTC One S] invasion2:
I'm loving this script..I used it on v1.0 and never said thanks or that it worked flawlessly, so here I am! Thank you to the developer and his team for making this amazing script, it removes so much crap from ROMs (Twitter, Google Docs, etc). I consider those crap IMO. Thanks again man.
[HTC One S] Patrics83:
Just make sure you don't get an iPhone :eek:

Your welcome, I'm sure you will like this new version. And it's not like with the Sensation :p

Your welcome and thanks for your feedback! :)

It's a bit different from the old version huh? ;) :p

No worries about me getting an iphone. Lol. Wonder if this will work on ParaniodAndriod JellyBean or if there is anything to clean. One way to find out i suppose.
[HTC One S] abracadabra11:
Any guidance on how to run ROMCleaner without eliminating the theme and setup for all the homescreens I've configured?

I've used the '#' symbol before the appropriate wallpapers and themes, but on reboot all of my shortcuts are eliminated. Is there an easy way to do this? Or do I need to manually reconfigure the shortcuts?

Thanks.
[HTC One S] Patrics83:
You mean home screen settings?

I think I need more info in this case because it sounds like you have other issues with your device/ROM.
[HTC One S] abracadabra11:
I don't know if I communicated this effectively, but the problem I have is that after running ROMCleaner (I am using the user-configured SENSE option) I no longer have the same shortcuts on my homescreen or any of the other pages. So after booting (following ROMCleaner) the shortcuts on the homescreen are no longer there. And the same is true for every other page. So, whereas before running ROMCleaner my homescreen had 3 folders (1 for news, 1 for travel, 1 for real estate, 1 for food) with multiple apps linked in those folders; after running ROMCleaner all those shortcuts are lost and I have to recreate them.

I hope that's more descriptive. And thanks again for the help.
[HTC One S] Patrics83:
I can't see how this is a problem really since ROM Cleaner should be flashed after full wipe and ROM flash then before first boot of your new flashed ROM you should flash ROM Cleaner and after that reboot for the first time.

Your home screen should have default settings for the ROM.

If you try to flash ROM Cleaner (Sense) after first boot you will get a warning in the AROMA, like this (screenshot)

If you press "No" you will get this (screenshot).

Please have a look at the guide in 2nd post. (It's a new one since v2.0)

If you have any question just let us know ;)
[HTC One S] abracadabra11:
I'm familiar with the guide, but opted to flash ROMCleaner on top of an existing configuration.

I'll rephrase the question, is there any way to dirty flash ROMCleaner while maintaining homescreen pages that were setup in a ROM that isn't freshly flashed?
[HTC One S] :
Titanium back up and restore HTC Sense (Desktop).
[HTC One S] abracadabra11:
Thanks. Was just curious if there was an option within ROMCleaner to get this done as well.
[HTC One S] Patrics83:
Don't press "Yes" on the Warning :D

And you can use Backup Tool inside ROM Cleaner to backup home screen.

Thanks

P.S:want the widget music back too.
[HTC One S] Patrics83:
Your welcome!

Best is to edit the ROMCleaner_user.txt/NO-Sense_user.txt and reflash the ROM without wipe.

You can restore the apps and widgets as well but it's more work then just editing the txt and reflash the ROM.

Good luck!

Will this work on stock 2.35.531.7 710RD for T-Mobile?
[HTC One S] Patrics83:
The scripts will work but we didn't add any T-Mobile apps to the app removal txts.

But you can add them to the txt manually.

All needed info can be found in the guide.

Good luck and please share the results with us ;)

[HTC One S] MrMiracle:
Sorry to bother you!

I just installed the HTC one S ruu, i installed recovery. Now when i run rom cleaner, everything seems to work. The rom cleaner setup starts and guides me throught the different options. Everything appears to work, but when i get back to my homescreen none of the apps are erased.

This happened after i installed the HTC one S official RUU to go back to stock.

any suggestion and how can i prove this is happening to me, what would you need from my system to see whats happening?

thank you
[HTC One S] Patrics83:
Did you install the same recovery again?

Please do a log collection.

Flash ROMCleaner

In main menu, press "Log Collection"

Reboot from the powe menu.

Upload RC_LogCollection*.tar here the file is located in /sdcard/ROMCleaner

Sent from my HTC One X
[HTC One S] MrMiracle:
Yes, using TWRP recovery. OK i attached the Log Collection file, thank you for your prompt reply and help.

I used this RUU. Prior to flashing this and going back to stock, Rom cleaner worked perfectly.I followed the exact same steps as before.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1941402
[HTC One S] Patrics83:
Thanks for the log files.

It looks like everything worked just fine. Except no apps was removed :p

When you flash ROM Cleaner it will extract a file and then remove it again, and this worked as it should. So I'm really not sure why this happens for you. And tbh I have never seen this kind of problem before :)

I'm going to download the RUU tomorrow and have a look, what might cause this behavior.

Now I must sleep ;)

Sent from my HTC One X
[HTC One S] MrMiracle:
Exactly seems to work fine, but no apps are removed.

I can record this process and post the video just to show whats happening!

but thank you for all your help, and please try the RUU then try installing rom cleaner
[HTC One S] Patrics83:
I can see what you have seen in the logs :)

But thanks anyway.

I can't try the RUU since I don't have the device but I can check all app names and stuff. :p

Edit: Mmmmh, seems like the RUU is protected or something. I have the ROM.zip but I can't view the files in /system...

Do you have ADB?

If yes, then do: adb shell ls /system/app

Then copy the output and post it here.

[HTC One S] cat2115:
Maybe I did it wrong but i don't see a list of App to uninstall. This is what i did: I did a fresh Virtuous ROM (full wipe). Once it's done, i then flash ROM Cleaner then select

ROM Cleaner --> ROM Cleaner (Sense) -->then it came to Restore & Install... I did not see a list of App to remove.
[HTC One S] MarckX:
Before you totally piss off Patrics83 and the team here: Do yourself (and us) a BIG favour and read OP. After that you can ask your questions.

Thanks mate!
[HTC One S] cat2115:
I did read OP unless i'm missing something and maybe i don't understood it's clearly.

After step #3, it's just go straight to "Restore & Install".
[HTC One S] Patrics83:
:)

Edit: ROM Cleaner will remove apps based on what's in a specific txt file.

That's why you don't get the option to select what to remove while in ROM Cleaner ui.

We use this method because we think it's a faster method to use when it comes to removing unwanted apps/files from the ROM.

And its much easier for the user to edit a txt file then a aroma-config + updater-script if he/she wish to add something.

I'm having a difficult time recovering the weather lock screen that I've somehow removed. Is there a way I can easily do this?
[HTC One S] rootrider:
Usually you can add those files again by copying them into the right place in first boot folder and run Rom Cleaner again: Main menu -> ROM Cleaner -> Skip cleaning step -> Install files & apps from FirstBoot folder.

Don't forget to check those files in ROMCleaner_user.txt in case you need to reflash your rom and clean it again.
[HTC One S] Patrics83:
Did you do like rootrider said?

If yes and it still doesn't work, please do a "Log Collection" and upload it here.

The easiest way is to reflash the rom and run Rom Cleaner after removing the 'wrong' lines in no_sense.txt that caused this trouble.

Just post your no_sense.txt here I'll have a look at it.

XDA is a great place! Only downside is that it never stops :D

TWRP compatibility

Patrics83, thank you for your work.

I was using successfully ROMCleaner v2.3 with TWRP 2.4.1.0.

Now I have seen in the requirements that CWM or 4EXT is required.

This requirement was always there, (also for ROMCleaner v2.3 ), or it was added for 2.5 version ?

Will 2.5 version work also with TWRP ?
[HTC One S] Patrics83:
ROM Cleaner will work with 4ext, cwm and twrp

I have edited OP as well ;)

[HTC One S] Mooncalled:
Outstanding!

Thanks for the all the work.

This is exactly what I was looking for. I wanted to retain the stock ROM but not have the heavy and bloated feel of sense and t-mo bloatware.

I've been playing around with a couple of different customer roms, but the one thing I always missed was the stock HTC camera, which happens to be the best thing about the htc sense based rom.

Overall I am quite happy with the results. We'll see how my phone does over the next few weeks. I'm hoping that my battery life will improve as well by dropping all that unwanted bloat.
[HTC One S] Patrics83:
Your welcome! :)

And yes HTC camera is really something extra :highfive:
[HTC One S] Mooncalled:
I had a small issue with my widgets disappearing after restarting. I had frozen the power saver mode to try and clear it from my notification bar. I attributed it to that after I defrosted it and the widgets remained after a restart. I also cleared dalvik/cache as well.

Anyways running smooth on day two.

A quick question: If I wanted to keep the htc wallpapers and skins, do I modify that in the user.txt or in the cleaner.txt in the zip?
[HTC One S] Patrics83:
Well if you use TB to freeze apps it has nothing to do with ROM Cleaner ;)

Yes download the user.txt you need and scroll down to the bottom of the txt then add a # in front of the wallpapers.

When done with the edits copy it to your /sdcard/ROMCleaner
