yeah I use TB, with it I remove like 10-15 apps useless for me, and like CM is often updated is a little annoying do that everytime. So a member recommended to me this cleaner to do that job to me, you know...

Thank you
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] Patrics83:
Make a backup in recovery, flash RC zip and choose CM-AOSP version.

Reboot and see if you like the result.

If not, restore your backup, download CM-AOSP_user.txt from op and edit it with notepad++, when done copy the txt to your ROMCleaner folder that is located on your external sdcard (if you have one) or your internal sdcard.

When done, reboot into recovery and flash RC zip again and reboot.

For how to edit the txt read the guide.

hi

i used ROM Cleaner 4 yesterday on Neat ROM 6.4. but it deleted "my files" folder in the phone

never had similar problem with previous versions of ROM Cleaner

Thanks for your nice work
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] Patrics83:
Well if it has been removed then RC worked...

And that means you haven't tweaked your user.txt for your needs. ?

Perka, if you're having fun with Sammy's bloatware...

Have fun, may be useful for you. Just keep in mind that some of the files which are listed in delete.txt in fact exist but are added automatically by ArchiDroid, for example google play store (mine is multi-dpi patched), or multi-csc (so no point in keeping single CSCs)

Why Setup Wizard is removed itself

[MENTION=2374587]Patrics83[/MENTION]: How to skip Setup Wizard removing because i'm not added it in remove list but still it removed,

i'm using Rom Cleaner for I9300 on XXUGMK6 Build..
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] Patrics83:
Hmm, there must be something wrong then.

Btw, does this happen even if you reflash your ROM with full wipe?

Sent from my HTC One
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] Naveed Abbas:
Yes again I tested it with full wipe and fresh install.

I did a hard reset (wipe data factory reset wipe cache/dalvik) also flashed MegaWipe then Stock Mk6 Rom

After that Rooted and flashes CWM Touch Recovery 6.0.4.6

And then flashed RC with my edited ROMCleaner_user.txt from external sd card with out marking Setup wizard to remove.

But still it removed I am sending you pm with my complete ROMCleaner folder from ext_sd

Edit:But I solved my problem by manually deleting "SetupwizardRemover.sh" from the RC folder now.
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] Patrics83:
The problem is here:

if prop("romcleaner.prop","selected.0")!="3" then
if exec("/tmp/busybox","test","-d","/data/data")=="0" then
if exec("/tmp/busybox","test","-d","/data/data/com.sec.android.app.SecSetup.Wizard")=="1" || exec("/tmp/busybox","test","-d","/data/data/com.google.android.setupwizard")=="1" then
resexec("RC/SetupWizardRemover.sh");
endif;
endif;
endif;

Can you please check if you have com.sec.android.app.SecSetup.Wizard, com.google.android.setupwizard in /data/data?

Maybe they changed one letter upper- or lowercase.

Sent from my HTC One
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] Naveed Abbas:
Do you mean that First I flash RC on fresh installed Rom and then to check "com.google.android.setupwizard" in /data/data?
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] Patrics83:
It doesn't matter, just make sure that you haven't removed the setup wizard.

Alt. upload SecSetupWizard.apk and SetupWizard.apk here
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] Naveed Abbas:

[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] Patrics83:
I think that I have found the reason. :)
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] Naveed Abbas:
And what about Setup Wizard removing..?
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] Patrics83:
That's still a strange one because the logs that [MENTION=5093763]ayoubij[/MENTION] posted still has both SetupWizard.apk & SecSetupWizard2013.apk

Maybe it's better that I remove the code from the AROMA. I'm just worried that you will end up in trouble if you remove the wizard and then flash a new ROM without data wipe.

The code should only remove the wizard automatically if: "/data/data" exist and if "/data/data/com.sec.android.app.SecSetup.Wizard" & "/data/data/com.google.android.setupwizard" doesn't exists.

But I guess that your ROM adds "/data/data/*" (pre configured xposed mods etc?)

[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] Zack208:
strange problem, I used the backup tool first then start the script remove bloatware. Everything worked fine and some of the samsung apps deleted. That's all. After that I remove the remaining one myself by using titanium backup.

My problem is, the rom cleaner created the folder by the name ROM cleaner on my device internal storage and it is not getting deleted. I tried from the Myfiles app from the device and through connecting device to the computer. In both ways, its not deleting the folder. On Computer it is showing a confirmation prompt "Are you sure you want to permanently remove this folder '' and all of its content?" When I pressed yes it showed me another error.

Cannot delete Rom Cleaner: This folder is write protected

Remove the write protection and try again.

Can someone please guide me here?
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] Patrics83:
Your device has a permission issue that's why you can't delete the folder.

Flash ROMCleaner.zip and go to additional scripts there you will find the option to remove that folder.

Else use adb shell, "rm -r /sdcard/ROMCleaner".

You can use it with the new JB 4.1 but it's not yet optimised for it. Be aware tho that the new leaked version of JB is an incomplete one and that it is considered not not be stable. So support on this version will be very minimal until the a more stable version of JB has been released.

Hi gee2012,

Yes, you can use it. If I understood correctly this last version is an OTA, so we can consider this one to be a stable version. We only have to check for changes and make an update if needed.

So.... don't be afraid to give it a go. If you have done so, please share your experiences. We may be using them for a future update.

ARHD v3.0 Jelly Bean, CWM v5.

Although ROM Cleaner works, it does not remove all the default bloatware.

Things like Chat on remain. I didn't expect it to work fully, just letting you know :)
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] MarckX:
Yep, you are right. There seems to be a nameswitch in the apk there:

ChatON.apk --> ChatON_MARKET_STG.apk

If you want to remove it by default (it's 14,8 Mb) , add it to your userlist. And I have a feeling it will be added in a new revision. :D

Had a quick look myself as well and I believe this had been renamed as well:

SMemo.apk --> SMemoEOL.apk

So this one can be added as well to your user.txt... ;)

Cheers!
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] Patrics83:
For ChatOn add:

ChatON[COLOR="Red"]*[/COLOR].apk ChatOn MMS application

And it will handle both versions ;)

[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] Patrics83:
Haha yeah :)

BTW I have diffed the ROM now and found some new apps... not that many after all.

Plus I did a quick edit so ROM Cleaner will work with CWM 6.x.x.x, this is not the optimal solution but if it works maybe it's better to have two versions...

Now I need someone to test it :)
