Awesome, that worked like a charm. Two things I did notice:

1. I could not get Apex Launcher to open after reboot. I'm not sure if that was due to having a different launcher already installed (I was using LauncherPro before I flashed), the fact that I flashed RomCleaner after the first boot, or something else.

2. There is a significant delay when accessing settings. I'm going to let it rest for a while and see if it fixes itself. It's not a big issue, just figured I'd point it out.

Other than that, everything seems to be working fine. Thanks Patrics
[HTC One S] MarckX:
Hi WCCobra, there seems to be a problem with using the latest Apex Launcher with ROMCleaner. For now you can un-install the Apex Launcher and reinstall it from Google Play. I did that and the problems were solved in my case. I know its a temporary solution, but we'll have a look at it.

For the delay accessing : If the resting period is over :), please give us some feedback.. :D
[HTC One S] maverick_hunter:
I gave the ROM Cleaner a shot and I lost Google Search. I was unable to redownload it from the Play Store because it said there isn't a version compatible with my phone. I restored my Nandroid, but the Setup Remover worked like a charm.
[HTC One S] WCCobra:
It definitely sped up after resting a few minutes. It's like a brand new phone :D

You all are gods.

I like having the Google search and some of the other Google apps. Modify the ROMCleaner_user.txt file. I think the apk you want is GoogleQuickSearchBox.apk and perhaps VoiceSearch.apk. Just comment out those lines with a "#" and reflash.
[HTC One S] avetny:
hmmmm....Apex force closed.
[HTC One S] maverick_hunter:
Thanks. I just copied those APKs from my restored Nandroid into a separate folder, reflashed the cleaner, then pasted them back. Everything going really smoothly right now.
[HTC One S] Patrics83:
Good morning guys!

I have updated APEX Launcher in ROM Cleaner NO-Sense, should be working now... Didn't test it yet since I woke up 5min ago :p

I think it was related to the APP name in the zip nothing else.

Please let us know the result ;)
[HTC One S] Lacuna666:
Fantastic Tool ! thanks a lot !!

I used it in combination with the Leedroid ROM, normally when you flash that rom you will get some setup questions, but using romcleaner I didn't.

For example; when you install Leedroid it will ask: do you want

crypted agpxfix, htcboot iso leeldroid, jetcetprinter,novalauncher and so on.

So these questions dont appear any more.

Is there a way to use romcleaner and still get the questions?

Thanks.
[HTC One S] MarckX:
Top of a morning to y'all !! :D

Didn't test in on One S but we had a similair issue on One X thread. And all I can confirm is that the update is working well . So, it would be very nice if some people could confirm this for their beloved One S.

And.... If you are using ROMCleaner and you have some wishes or improvements you want, just tell us and we'll certainly take them into account for next update.... :D
[HTC One S] maverick_hunter:
I'd suggest leaving in Google Search by default. It's a really handy function; practically essential in my case.
[HTC One S] tivofool:
seems the links are broken in the OP
[HTC One S] MarckX:
Mmmh, no problems here right now :)
[HTC One S] tivofool:
yes, you are right. after banging my head trying to figure it out I uninstalled and reinstalled google chrome and it fixed.

My One S must be rubbing off on my computer and getting its quirks.

Sense 5 ViperS JB ROM Cleaner Script! :)

Use this script with ROM Cleaner v6.0 for Sensation or ROM Cleaner v2.5 for One S

Open with Notepad++ and read the instructions in the script first!

ROM Cleaner Script v1.1 for ViperS JB Sense 5

Enjoy :) Any problems, PM me :)

rom cleaner have sense for maximus 10.0.0 ( 4.2.2 sense 5) ??? i'm srry, speak english bad :((
[HTC One S] ulmcity:
It works great. Thx. :good:
[HTC One S] LocotesKilla:
Check my signature for the Sense 5 script you are asking for.

Patrics83 is right, there are a lot of differences between Sense 4 and 5.

Enjoy :)
[HTC One S] LocotesKilla:
I have updated the Sense 5 script again, namely the apk's in the experimental section of the script as I have found a couple of entries to be important to some Sense 5 HTC Applications. I have also added a couple more apk's that where not in older Sense versions.

I have also added the following warning to the scripts.

Due to using this script after a first boot instead of before the first boot as described on the ROM Cleaner thread, your home screens will reset to default, other than that, don't worry about it.

Also slightly updated Sense 4+ scripts to reflect changes to Sense 5 script.

But that's it now, the scripts are all done.

Enjoy!
[HTC One S] hamzazxplorer:
Does this work on the stock rom (rooted) ? Good work though :good:
[HTC One S] Patrics83:
Yes, but it's recommended to make a backup in recovery before flashing.

Sent from my HTC One
[HTC One S] Patrics83:
You are talking about Aroma installer. ROM Cleaner doesn't work that way and believe me, you really don't want to make your personal list everytime you flash a ROM ;)

Follow the instructions about how to make a ROMCleaner_user.txt this way is much more simple and you can use it everytime when you flash a ROM.

Sent from my HTC One X
[HTC One S] Patrics83:
Noted.

You could also do this.

Download ROMCleaner_user.txt and open it with notepad++

Add a hash in front of it, like this:

[COLOR="Red"]#[/COLOR]GoogleQuickSearchBox.apk Google Search

When done, move ROMCleaner_user.txt to /sdcard/ROMCleaner

ROM Cleaner will now only use your personal version ;)

[HTC One S] HighRoIIer:
If i don't care for backups is it enough to just flash the ROM Cleaner No sense previous to rebooting???
[HTC One S] MarckX:
Yes you can if you flash it right after your new ROM and before the first reboot.:)

Edit: and if you want, you can leave some feedback.....it's highly appreciated :D
[HTC One S] Patrics83:
ROM Cleaner is designed to be used as a standalone script. But if you wish to streamline your flashing then you really should consider to use Backup Tool ;)

Sent from my HTC One X
[HTC One S] snwman:
@Patrics83 just a question, ive been reading the thread for two days now. Just trying to figure out to use it or not really. But now this could be a noob question and forgive me if it is but someone has to ask them from time to time.

But whats the main advantage using this compared to Titanium Backup. Like you can remove bloatware with it and apps that are no addition to the rom. Or am i just missing the big picture altogether
[HTC One S] Patrics83:
IMO... Yes you are :p

ROM Cleaner removes unwanted apps in less then 5sec and since you should flash it before first boot no data for those apps will be left in the system.

And all apps in the ROMCleaner_user.txt is safe to remove and they also have a description so it will be more easy to know what to remove and what to keep etc.

When it comes to the backup part we have chosen to backup some parts that will in most cases not cause any issues when you restore everything. And as far as I know there is no backup solution available at the moment that will be able to restore HTC Sense home screen like we do.

And the backup/restore of user apps is freaky fast compared to other solutions.

So my suggestion is, make a nandroid and have a try... Use TB only to backup user app data.

If you have any questions we are here to answer them ;)

Good luck!

[HTC One S] snwman:
Just another question Patric, on the first page in instructions it says to flash afew things before falshing rom. Now i have made a nandroid backup already. So does that mean i have to reflash the rom and then just follow all the instructions or can i just flash it now on top of the rom??
[HTC One S] Patrics83:
For best result:

*Nandroid

*Backup Tool

*Full Wipe

*ROM

*ROM Cleaner (apps will be removed and your apps will be restored)

*Reboot

Sign in at Google and let it sync.

*Reboot to recovery

*HtcSetupWizard Remover

*Settings Restorer

*Reboot

Now restore additional app data with TB and you are done ;)

Lazy user:

*ROM Cleaner

*Reboot

Good luck! :)

Sent from my HTC One X
[HTC One S] snwman:
Cheers for that. Do I have to remove the HTC setup wizard remover or is it ok to leave it there

. Also the same procedure would have to be done for flashing any new Rom
[HTC One S] Patrics83:
You can leave it there.

Next time you reflash a ROM just flash ROM Cleaner again, before you boot and all unwanted apps will be removed again ;)

[HTC One S] snwman:
Dead on cheers for the help man shall do it in the next few hours and see how it goes...
[HTC One S] HighRoIIer:
I must say... the cleaner works like a charme. Around 350 mb free Ram. That is similar to CM9 or AOKP but still very stable. (Tested on Trickdroid 4.1.)

For the Backup i still like Titanium more but only because of the settings and that i can decide for every app which on should be reinstalled and still can keep the backup of temporarly unwanted apps.
[HTC One S] Patrics83:
Thanks for your feedback!

It's all a matter of taste and flexibility I guess. I use My Backup Pro just to backup some apps data and sms/mms and call log.

Then I use our Backup Tool just because it's so fast and I don't have to think about anything else ;)
[HTC One S] snwman:
Followed your instructions and Have to say it get's rid of everything i wanted straight away. When i booted up the deivce first time i looked into the apps menu and i was like jesus how does it know what to get rid off. I had about 3 pages of apps including some i downloaded. And after i ran rom cleaner its down to one and a half. Its pretty good i must say.

One thing is the lockscreen is like cm9. But how i do i get more options on it instead of camera and unlock. I thought it was the apex launcher doing it at first but i swithced to nova and it still does. it.
[HTC One S] MarckX:
You can choose not to remove HTC lockscreen:

# HTC Lockscreen
# (If you wish to keep the HTC lockscreen make sure you comment out the 3 apks below here
# known issues with having HTC Lockscreens removed is that you need to unlock before you can pickup a incoming call)
#
[COLOR="Red"]#[/COLOR] HtcLockScreen.apk HTC LockScreen
[COLOR="red"]#[/COLOR] Idlescreen_Base.apk HTC LockScreen
[COLOR="red"]#[/COLOR] idlescreen_shortcut.apk Shortcuts on HTC LockScreen

but to prevent a reflash:

1. extract the 3 .apks from the rom

2. Copy them to /system/app

3. set permissons to rw-r--r--

That should do it! :D

PS: nice to see the ROMCleaner link in your sig! :D
[HTC One S] snwman:
I actually like the lockscreen just wandering if there is any way to add shortcuts to it.

PS: Thought it would be good to share the Romcleaner to its a good script..:D
[HTC One S] Patrics83:
So you liked it huh? :D

Well the AOSP lockscreen comes from APEX Launcher. You have to uninstall it to get rid of that lockscreen...

There is a few lockscreen apps available at Google Play. Never tried any of them but it might be possible to create the ultimate lockscreen ;)

And if you restore HTC Lockscreen, shortcuts will only work if you also restore HTC Launcher (Rosie.apk)

I will have a test with ROM Cleaner NO-Sense someday if I get time :p

I do prefer to keep Sense so I use the regular ROM Cleaner with my own edited ROMCleaner_user.txt ;) (230MB removed from my One X ROM :p)
[HTC One S] snwman:
How do you find out how much was removed. Or just a before and after. Might flash it again with sense
[HTC One S] Patrics83:
Go to /sdcard/ROMCleaner/Logs and open ROMCleaner_recovery.log

In it you will find:

Backgrounds gone ?

Hi, just wondering if anyone has the same problem, when i use this tool it ALWAYS deletes the static htc backgrounds (the live-ones stay untouched)

Of coarse i've tried adjusting the user-text.

I found that even if there are hashess in front of everything in the whole file, it still deletes the backgrounds, and i just dont want that to happen.

I went a step further, and even deleted all text todo with apps and backgrounds and it still happens, can the developer please tell me how to stop this from happening ?

Thanks for the great tool !
[HTC One S] MarckX:
Hi there Lacuna666,

The tool is designed to delete only the things mentioned in the default ROMcleaner.txt or - if you use it - the ROMCLeaner_user.txt. By default the wallpapers will be removed - yes!

# All Wallpapers, Scene Previews, Bookmark Thumbnails.
#
"/system/etc/livewallpaperpreviewimage/*.jpg"
"/system/customize/resource/*.jpg"
#"/system/customize/resource/scenes_picker_*.png" < This will remove all scene previews

Now to keep wallpapers just add the #-sign to the line, or delete this line eventhough the deleting it is not recommended. So it should look like this (added the red #-sign):

# All Wallpapers, Scene Previews, Bookmark Thumbnails.
#
"/system/etc/livewallpaperpreviewimage/*.jpg"
[COLOR="Red"]#[/COLOR]"/system/customize/resource/*.jpg"
#"/system/customize/resource/scenes_picker_*.png" < This will remove all scene previews

And make sure the ROMCleaner_user.txt is in the right folder (/sdcard/ROMCleaner) !!

While flashing Romcleaner, watch the screen and you can see if the ROMCleaner_user.txt is being used. If you don't get that confirmation, the user.txt isn't named correctly or it isn't present in the folder.

After flashing check if the .JPG files are in the folder after flashing (/system/customize/resources). All wallpapers should be present.

If you've done this correctly, there is no way Romcleaner has removed the wallpapers. :p So if you have done these steps and it doesn't work out for you, please report back. (then I will ask you kindly if you can upload te log-files from the /sdcard/Romcleaner/logs :D)

ps check if the rom has the wallpapers in the zip-file. Just to be sure ;)
[HTC One S] snwman:
Just flashed this again but just using the Rom cleaner. Sticking with the htc sense. I can confirm it works. But it does delete as much stuff as if you where to flash Rom cleaner with no sense. But still takes away the majority of the useless apps. Mainly it keeps the sat nav apps and facebook and twitter but they can easily removed.

I have now downloaded this myself, hadn't seen it before as must have skipped over it. I spend ages deleteing all the crap I don't want on each rom I flash and this is going to save me so much work! Thank you OP.

And well if Aroma will make life easier I'm all for it. I think some will have been discouraged from donwloading as unsure editing files and such so with Aroma install I think more people will start to use. We have a fair few that have been around along time on android so know what they are doing with the files but there is an ever growing number of new users trying to find there feet and anything that makes life easier is always a good thing.

Ill try and get testing asap busy at work... I presume its easier to apply to to a fresh install as usual, or can we apply in to a installed rom already
[HTC One S] MarckX:
As always it is highly recommended to use ROMCleaner with a fresh install, to avoid problems.

But ..... as we don't know what problems to expect, it is really nice if someone would test it without a fresh (=dirty) install as well.

So, we would be happy if you can test one of them. Now if you want to test both ways for us and give us some feedback, we would be even happier :D
[HTC One S] snwman:
I applied it to a fesh viper rom there and had few problems first viper rom frooze on me installing got it sorted and then got everything going. When i was setting up rom and installing .apk on the install menu it told me Installer had to close. So let it close and continued on but everything installed bar a theme apk for viper rom. But did not mind that as can do it on viper tweaks. Everything went fine. Installed all my data and info and no problems with it. Even did a comparison, With just viper roms aroma installer, i could choose which apps to leave out and that i made a backup with it. It was 1.2gb in size.

Now once i did fresh install and restored all apps and data and got the rom to exactly how i had it before. It went down to 864mb in size so pretty good saving over 140mb...

I'll do an install on a dirty rom tonight and post back results. But so far so good lads

Oh and i kept sense as i like it, its smooth since the new updates

Edit, i did not do any logs but can try do some tonight. Was doing this on the fly at work so will sit down and do it tonight
[HTC One S] :
Well ran tests last night and didn't have a single issue on Venom from clean and logs sent including non sense also. Give me an hour and I'll run a 'dirty' test to see what happens.

I'm doing my best to bring you a BIG update, but this takes time and we have to keep track of all new ROMs etc. For devices we don't even have :s

Devices that will receive an update very soon are (all scripts are almost done):

One X

EVO 4G - Check

Galaxy S3 - Check

Galaxy Note 2 - Check
