Hmm... if recovery mounts extSDCard as /sdcard, then what will it mount /data/media (which is seen as /sdcard by file managers) as?

Yes in my /data/media, there is a ROMCleaner folder there.
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] Patrics83:
/data/media is symlinked and will be displayed as /sdcard(0) in a filemanager

when in recovery it will mount extsdcard first... if it doesn't exist it will mount /data/media... as sdcard..

Please correct me if I'm wrong... I'm not an expert at partitions and different recoverys :)

But since it's been reported that ppl do have the files and folders on /extsdcard I think the script is correct...

You need to choose Touchwiz launcher, because that option does not install any launcher at all (same as "NONE").
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] Pard0ned:
Re: [SCRIPT] ROM Cleaner v2.0 AROMA | Remove Bloatware | Backup Apps | Install Apps/M

But what I was saying was I don't want touchwizz installed. That's why I said there could be an option to say what you're already using and then RC could clean the rest.

[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] koboltzz:
I remembered wrong, you are right there is no next, BUT if you read carefully the grey text under touchwiz, you will see it will 'keep installed launcher'. TW won't get installed.
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] Patrics83:
I have already included parts of it in v3.0

However I find it a bit too aggressive so I have been commenting (#) some apps. However it's still not ready.

By pressing "TouchWiz Launcher (Stock launcher) None of the launchers above" no launcher will be installed. Not even TouchWiz. I know this message might be a bit unclear so I have changed that in v3.0 as well ;)

In v3.0 it will look like this:

"No Secondary Launcher. Pick this option if you wish to not install a secondary launcher"

Well, by flashing the default ROM Cleaner you won't have this problem.

Best would be if you make a "Log Collection" and upload it here.

Launcher menu is using "menubox" only way to get out of a menubox is either to make a launcher choice or press back button. See post above for more info...

AROMA menus are not dynamic (yet) so it's impossible for us to show what launcher you are currently are using.

Plus ROM Cleaner should be flashed after full wipe and ROM flash before first reboot. So there will be no other launcher then stock launcher when you are in ROM Cleaner AROMA.
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] hnernes:
I have read the superlite spcript by stanley08 and I find the following apks not to be present in the ROM in the first place:

Exchange.apk Exchange

Maps.apk Google Maps

IdeaVisualizer.apk Idea Idea Sketch

MH_20_ICS_HHP.apk Music Hub

ReadersHub2_PHN_Store.apk Readers HUB Store

ReadersHub2_PHN_Main_user.apk Reader HUB Main App

ReadersHub2_MediaBridge.apk Reader HUB Media Bridge

I use NeatROM so it could be they are removed by the ROM maker, but if they are old apps that has been taken out of samsung ROMs or renamed (e.g. Maps.apk is now called GMS_Maps.apk and Exchange.apk is called SecExchange.apk), then theese could be removed from the scipt permanently.

I also will attach my script wich is slightly modified to my taste :)
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] Eddiemc:
Re: [SCRIPT] ROM Cleaner v2.0 AROMA | Remove Bloatware | Backup Apps | Install Apps/M

In my opinion it is best if the script is broad and takes into consideration differences between rom bases. (for example all varieties of maps) So when flashed on an older base it will still clean, as well as flashed on a new base.

But you're right about maps and exchange, they need to have the updated names included too.. :)

[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] Patrics83:
ROM Cleaner v3.0 was supposed to handle both CWM and TWRP with external sdcard or internal sdcard. However we had a user that reported issues with backup tool not working, that means we don't have full access to the internal sdcard for some reason... Since then we are stuck and I don't have any solution for how to do it. :)

So what I need now is either an advanced S3 user or the device in my hand :D

Re: [SCRIPT] ROM Cleaner v2.0 AROMA | Remove Bloatware | Backup Apps | Install Apps/M

Notepad++ is written to run in a Windows environment, so: yes, you can edit the _user file on tour PC.

Notepad++ is recommended because it can use Unix' in end of line and it shows the text files like it should and not as a 1 liner like in Windows' Notepad
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] hnernes:
You have: NfcTest.apk and AllSharePlay.apk listed twice.

Extract it from the ROM.zip

Push it to /system/app and set permissions rw-r--r-- (alt: chmod 0644)

Edit: Always take system apps from the ROM you are using. Never install some random app you find on the internet.

[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] Patrics83:
Sv: [SCRIPT] ROM Cleaner v2.0 AROMA | Remove Bloatware | Backup Apps | Install Apps/M

Are you sure? Firmware package without system apps?

In that case you have to flash the ROM again or restore your backup and edit the ROMCleaner_user.txt so it won't remove fm radio app.

1. Maybe TWRP

Re: [SCRIPT] ROM Cleaner v2.0 AROMA | Remove Bloatware | Backup Apps | Install Apps/M

I did exactly as instruction instructed, ( letter by letter 100% same as ROM package, even the capital letter is completely match ... )

Some were removed, so the script is working, at least partially working...
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] Patrics83:
No you didn't ;)

For example: Flash ROMCleaner.zip and in main menu press "Log Collection" then upload it here.

The script works 100% but just not in your case because you have either forgot to add a specific app or you didn't think about apps in /data/app...

Without a "Log Collection" (RC_LogCollecton*.tar) there is no need for you to post here anymore about your issue.

And why haven't you been using our ROMCleaner_user.txt as base for your edits?

BTW: With your txt ROMCleaner will give you an error.

[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] MarckX:
-1 (lol) here as well with some explanation:

If you remove too much from the _user.txt, the script will not work. Not talking about .apk's here.

Now, you checked the rom.zip for .apk's and added them to your _user.txt, but this will only work for apps placed in /system/app, as they are stored there as .apk files. The .apk's that will are in /data/app in your ROM.zip will be stored in data/app in an other way: something like com.google.bla.bla, so you have to add them that way to your _user.txt.

Hint1:

You are not deleting files from your ROM.zip but from your phone. So just check your installed ROM files what to add to your _user.txt and not how it has stored in the ROM.zip. I am sure if you do as described, these files won't show up in your appdrawer.

Hint2:

Patrics83 added a very nice and useful tool in ROMCleaner main menu to create logfiles. If you don't want to use this to upload the log-files, you don't help us in any way to help you.

So help us out here and post some Logfiles, PLEASE! It can't be that hard.....

Hi.

Nice tool.

I will try it and compare with palatool.

Is it possible to remove go launcher crap stuff (like gomarket, gothemes etc) with this tool?

[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] Eddiemc:
Re: [SCRIPT] ROM Cleaner v2.0 AROMA | Remove Bloatware | Backup Apps | Install Apps/M

They are all part of go launcher. Not separate apk's. I suggest you "leave" go launcher and use something less bloated. Go had their time in the limelight, now it's just old bloat. Try apex, nova, HD, or any of the newer ones.. You won't be disappointed, and you'll have less bloat.

I'm attempting to slim down my Sprint GS3 as much as possible, but I've run into a problem. Something that I removed is causing the phone to lose it's data connection. After booting the "Preparing Network..." message stays in the status bar. Does anyone have any recommendations for tracking down the necessary app? I've been going through the list one-by-one and enabling then re-flashing/re-cleaning, but that's really slow.

EDIT:

Based on my trouble shooting, I think it's something in this list:

DrmProvider.apk
DropboxOOBEPriority4.apk	#TW bundled dropbox
EdmVpnServices.apk	#VPN Service
EnterprisePermissions.apk
SecExchange.apk	#Exchange Services
SimpleFavoritesWidget.apk	#Favorite Contacts Widget
Books.apk	#Google Play Books
MediaHub_D2.apk	#Media Hub
MusicPlayer.apk	#TW Music App
SlideShow.apk
ConnectionManager.apk	#Sprint Connection Optimizer
Sprint_Installer.apk
SprintZone.apk
Swype.apk
VideoPlayer.apk
VoiceRecorder.apk
VVM.apk	#Sprint Visual Voice Mail
VpnClient.apk
VpnDialogs.apk
SecBrowser.apk
SecFileShareClient.apk
SecFileShareServer.apk	#Wifi sharing
wssyncmlnps.apk	#Kies sync
PanningTryActually.apk
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] ioos:
Actually, it's not in the list above. I'm going to start over. Other than removing an APK and looking for problems, is there another way to tell what an application does? Or at least determine the apps that depend on it? Some of them don't really show up on Google.
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] MarckX:
It's probably not the removal of an apk that causes this. Probably it's kernel (or even radio) related. I don't know if you have been using different kernels with modules, but that could cause problems like that. Never heard of similar problems using ROMCleaner tho. But then I again, we don't own SG3 ourselves, so we are depending on user input here.

For description of apk files, I can recommend THIS. It tells you the description of most apk's,

[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] ioos:
It definitely was something I was removing with this tool. Some kind of activation I guess. It would also fail to update the profile (updating indefinitely). I was reflashing a 100% stock rom with kernel included. Flashing that rom without using this tool, I don't have any problems.

Thanks, I'm checking this out right now. I'm on Linux so I had to use wine and it's not working quite right. But it looks like there are other tools out there as well.

Yes. Surprisingly ConnectionManager.apk is not the culprit. That is Sprint's ridiculous "Connection Optimizer" that pulls up the TOS page of every Starbucks (and other open APs) as you walk by.
