I already posted in the ODIN JB Thread, but I realized that I might get some good advice here too, so I'll shamelessly copy-paste here what I asked. I hope this doesnt bother anyone:

Hey guys, I'm looking for a little advice.

Once Jelly Bean rolls out I plan to run the ROM Cleaner Script that some people mentioned before. Since it's supposed to run better if you do it before the 1st boot. I was wondering how to do it without having to pull the battery out.

So I came up with something like this:

0- Before doing anything, wipe cache and dalvik from the current ROM. (It's actually a JB Leak, but just to be sure).

1- Flash the full JB ODIN package with ONLY "F. Reset Time" checked. This should keep the device in Download Mode and ready for Step 2.

2- Flash CF Root 6.4

This time with "F. Reset Time" AND "Auto Reboot" checked, since the Phone needs to reboot to do some CWM Manager and SuperSU installation mumbo jumbo.

3- Is what I've got missing, is there any way to boot directly into CWM after that?

4- Run the ROM Cleaner Script

5- Finally let it boot JB for 1st time and enjoy the bloatware free and rooted experience.

Also, is there any risk doing so?... I'm not sure if it's safe to Flash CF Root before 1st boot, etc...

I'm hoping that someone could lend me a hand with this and that this turn out being useful for other XDA users :D
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] Patrics83:
I can see you already got the answer on your questions in the other thread.

1) You need a custom deodexed ROM

So the steps would be:

Full wipe

Flash a custom ROM

Flash ROM Cleaner

Reboot for the first time!

Not like someone said in the other thread.

And there is several reasons why you shouldn't let your device boot before you use ROM Cleaner...

And we don't have any plans at the moment to support odex files... Still don't know how we should do it.

Thanks, yeh sadly had to send back my HTC One X due to wifi hardware issue and decided I didnt trust getting another one so got the Samsung Galaxy which with ARHD and ROM Cleaner is perfect ;)

I'd agree not to remove it as default but it can be removed with out issue. Few of other apps that can be added to the list, I've removed them with out issue but more testing needed. Again I wouldn't remove as default.

VideoPlayer.apk

MusicPlayer.apk

MusicFX.apk

Cheers!

Testing now on Mikes new release so will report back with any thing else I find.

Edit: Few more I've added to my own file.

ContextAwareService.apk

VideoPlayer.apk

MusicPlayer.apk

MusicFX.apk

MusicHub_30.apk

sCloudSyncBrowser.apk

sCloudSyncCalendar.apk

sCloudSyncContacts.apk

sCloudSyncSMemo.apk

SimpleFavoritesWidget.apk - New Widget added in JB

DropboxOOBE.apk - Think this is the drop box signup / login part from the initial setup

I also removed the Samsung Launcher:

SecLauncher2.apk

As I use Apex Launcher.

I need help! My external sd card is located in /storage/extSdCard/ and when i put my ROMCleaner_user text file in the rom cleaner folder (that i made, dont know if i was supposed to do that), the script doesn't recognize it! In the OP it says that the file should be placed in /extSDCard/ROMCleaner but in my phone (rom is latest wannam lite) its different and ROM cleaner keeps using the default text file when i execute it! I dont know what to do and any help would be greatly appreciated!
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] Patrics83:
Make sure you use correct ROMCleaner version. CWM 5 or 6

In your "ROMCleaner" folder, is there a folder called "Logs" in it?

Sent from my HTC One X
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] elghouchd:
There is no logs file in my ROMCleaner folder. I actually made the folder on my external SD card because in the op it says " Copy the file onto your extSDcard. The file must be located in "/extSDcard/ROMCleaner" folder" but I didnt have a ROMCleaner folder so i made it. And yeah im using the correct ROMCleaner version. Thanks for helping me!
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] Patrics83:
So are you using CWM Recovery 5.x.x.x and ROM_Cleaner_v1.2_cwm_5.zip

or CWM Recovery 6.x.x.x and ROM_Cleaner_v1.2_cwm_6.zip

Check if you have "/data/media/ROMCleaner"

If you do, then please zip Logs folder and upload it here :)
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] elghouchd:
In the ROMCleaner folder located in media, it has my ROMCleaner_user.txt file but no logs folder. I think this is a folder I made and put on my internal SD card when putting it on the external SD card wasnt working.
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] Patrics83:
I think you are using wrong version that's all. Please double check your recovery version and ROM Cleaner version.

If you know how to get a recovery.log please do so and upload it here.

Flash ROMCleaner zip and then "adb pull /tmp/recovery.log"

No idea what else can be wrong since there is over 1500 users out there using v1.2 successfully.

But no matter what I will do my best to help you.

But now it's time to sleep ;)

Wait so when you flash a rom its automatically there? Or how did you get the ROMCleaner folder to appear? cause its not automatically created for me
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] Ttblondey:
I flash a rom and run the RomCleaner provided you have the right RomCleaner version.
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] elghouchd:
Ok so i run the ROMCleaner now what do i do? What do I do so I get the folder?
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] Patrics83:
I want you to confirm your recovery version and ROMCleaner version.

Edit: You just have to flash ROMCleaner.zip and all folders will be created but if you use ROM_Cleaner_v1.2_cwm_6.zip with cwm recovery v5 nothing will work.

Sent from my HTC One X
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] elghouchd:
I have triple checked and made sure that i am flashing the right rom cleaner verison with the matching recovery version. When I flash ROMCleaner, AROMA installer comes up and I have options to check. So I dont know how to "flash" it.
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] Patrics83:
That means you are using cwm 5 or 6?

In main menu press "Log Collection" then exit to recovery and go to advanced menu and see if you have the option to copy latest recovery log.

Then reboot and check if you have a RC_LogCollecteion.tar in your ROMCleaner folder. If not check if you have a file called recovery.log in the root of your sdcard alt. In your clockworkmod folder and then upload it here.

Edit: You can use Android Commander if you are on windows.

This program will let you to explorer all files on your phone.

So when you are in ROM Cleaner main menu use the program and go to /tmp and copy recovery.log to your pc

@ Patrics and Mark, hi guys i preordered a Galaxy Note 2 and is there any reason why the ROMCleaner and user_script wouldn`t work on this phone?
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] Patrics83:

Only things we need to change is resolution, calibration, mounting points and (removable apps).

Hello , great app!!

A question..

This are my own folders for remove: (.thumbnails, .aptoide, .blackmart)

#
# Old SDCard Temp & OS Folders...
#
"/sdcard/bugreports"
"/sdcard/tmp"
#
#
#
# MY TEMP & APP FOLDERS
#
"/sdcard/.thumbnails"
"/sdcard/DCIM/.thumbnails/"
"/sdcard/.aptoide/*"
"/sdcard/.blackmart/"
#
#
#
# !!!ALWAYS USE NOTEPAD++ WHEN EDITING THIS FILE!!!

But when finish ROMCleaner and restart the phone (Galaxy S3) the folders are still there and all the files inside.

Dont work with " / "

Dont work with " /* "

Dont work without " / "

Could someone tell me what is wrong?

Greetings.

(Sorry for my bad english) :rolleyes:
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] Patrics83:
Hi

If you use CWM 5.x.x.x

External sdcard:

"/sdcard/.thumbnails"
"/sdcard/DCIM/.thumbnails"
"/sdcard/.aptoide"
"/sdcard/.blackmart"

Internal sdcard:

"/data/media/.thumbnails"
"/data/media/DCIM/.thumbnails"
"/data/media/.aptoide"
"/data/media/.blackmart"

If you use CWM 6.x.x.x

External sdcard:

"/external_sd/.thumbnails"
"/external_sd/DCIM/.thumbnails"
"/external_sd/.aptoide"
"/external_sd/.blackmart"

Internal sdcard:

"/sdcard/.thumbnails"
"/sdcard/DCIM/.thumbnails"
"/sdcard/.aptoide"
"/sdcard/.blackmart"

If you wanna use wildcard you must use a file extension such as *.png *.jpg *.apk etc.

Let me know how it goes ;)
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] MALOW:
OK mate, then I change to..

"/data/media/.thumbnails"
"/data/media/DCIM/.thumbnails"
"/data/media/.aptoide"
"/data/media/.blackmart"

I will try now :good::)

Works fine!

I have just tried with this code and everything eliminated successfully..

# MY TEMP & APP FOLDERS

Hmm never heard about anything like this before... Really strange but you shouldn't be afraid of using backup tool again once you have a new sdcard because it's nothing magical done with the sdcard before or after apps and settings are copied there.

[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] MarckX:
You won't be able to make your choice in the Aroma installer, so it deletes all apps that are well considered chosen by the users and the ROMCleaner team. If you want to use your own list of removal, just read our opening page and focus your reading on the ROMCleaner_user.txt part. With this file you can easily customize your cleaning. If you have yourself an optimized user.txt, you can use it any flash of ROMCleaner you want. So it's a one time thingy, for lots of future benefit and fun.... :)
