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

Some of the user lists provided in the thread cleans a bit more and seems a bit more updated than yo op, but I too would like to see a v3 with completely up to date list. Perhaps also a pre made hard core version, stripping everything to a pure minimum, a true bare bone rom.

This is one of the most valuable "mods" out there. I'd love to be a able to get my sammy base as close to aosp as possible, but there is just to many files, dependencies, and sammy crap to get my head around it.

So please op, consider making a hard core v3 to remove everything "sammy" from android, and give us some memory/multitasking back;)

Guys, we have tried our best but it's really hard for us to make an really good default app removal list.

We did it for HTC ROMs, but it's different with Samsung ROMs. None of us have an S3 or Note2 :( (damn no sad faces in this thread) :)

Anyway that's the reason why we are having difficulties to keep it both up to date and also to provide an extreme app removal list.

For HTC we have an option called (Sense) this version will remove almost everything except the HTC Sense launcher and some very useful widgets etc.

Then we have (NO-Sense) option, this option will basically remove everything and replace the HTC Launcher.

I guess we could do a (NO-TouchWiz) as well.... But we can't make the app removal list for it.

But let us make this to a community project. You guys can make the list and I make the scripts :D

Or you just buy me a S3.... :p

Nah just kidding.

But seriously what do you guys say?

Can we do it together?

This is the new ROMCleaner.txt so far.

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

No problem, I've been using it until now. For me it's just that I believe we can still clean more than this. After Running the script the rom is very functional and pretty clean, but still not as stripped as some of the roms that have been released before such as hyperlite..

It should be possible to reach an almost aosp like state by removing everything.

Also i cannot find video player to remove in the script, but that might be just me:)

I have a few days to experiment with my phone and want to upgrade my firmware. If you still need help testing:

ARHD 20

CWM 6027 classic

ext. SD
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] Zisworg:
I'm an idiot :rolleyes:

OK, here is my review:

Everything is working quite well. Here are a few aesthetic notices: in the Backup Tool page, you wrote "TocuhWiz" (twice). In the Additinal Scripts screen, maybe you could write the notice "Be careful, ..." with emphasis (bold or underline): it's quite important! My SGS3 is running MIUI so it is a little bit confusing to "Pick a second launcher" as MIUI has its own laucher and the TouchWiz Launcher isn't the stock one in that case.

Anything else works properly: with or without the (external) sd card.

@stanley08: you can add FactoryTest.apk and SelfTestMode.apk to the user script ;)

PS: I like the "Pressing Back Button For You" thing :D

EDIT: I just noticed one more weird thing: now when I plug my cellphone in my computer (Windows8) the GT-I9300 is showed as Card (as always) and /mnt/mmc/Downloaded Data instead of "Phone" :/ It appears only since I have run ROMCleaner. Nothing else touch in my GS3.
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] Eddiemc:
Re: [SCRIPT] ROM Cleaner v2.0 AROMA | Remove Bloatware | Backup Apps | Install Apps/M

@stanley08

Good work mate.

Ltdtest.apk ?????

That is the "factory mode" you can enter by pressing a combination on the dialpad. There you can test the screen for stuck pixels, color test, etc.

Not really needed, since a lot of apps on play does the same thing better:)

Also SecCalendar.apk doesn't need to be under advanced, you can place amongst the sec...apk's. It's fine to delete it, and as long as the Google Calendar sync apk is there, everything will work (meaning you won't have a calendar, but any play calendar will be able to Google sync just fine)

I have been looking at it now and most apps was already in the v3.0 txt but I saw you changed a lot of "#" so I will try to merge it now.

First of all, Thanks for testing and helping :)

I can't find TouchWiz twice anywhere :S

checkbox(
"Backup Tool",
"Please choose what you want to backup",
"icons/main-info",
"backup.prop",

"Apps","This will backup your apps (not app data)",1,
"Accounts","Google Twitter FaceBook etc.",1,
"Bluetooth Pairings","All paired BT devices",1,
"TocuhWiz launcher","Entire homescreen including 3rd party widgets",1,
"Mail settings","Accounts including inbox",1,
"Wifi Keys","All saved wifi keys",1
);

ROM Cleaner aren't designed for MIUI ROMs.

However by picking "TouchWiz Launcher (Stock launcher)" "None of the launchers above" no launcher will be installed.

I will try to change those strings to something else to make it more clear ;)

That's cool. Do you have any logs from when you was using the internal sdcard?

Haha, so you are a no reader :p

Hmm, never heard of that. Maybe you removed something from your device that breaks/changes how MTP works?
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] Patrics83:
You can also use "Apps & Mods Installer"

Just copy the APK to ../ROMCleaner/SecondBoot/system/app

Reboot to recovery and flash ROM Cleaner, go to "Additional Scripts" and press "Apps & Mods Installer".

When done, reboot and the app will be installed ;)

Apparently Backup Tool complains on low space and this needs to be sorted.

My guess is that we are having more problems with internal sdcards then just the backup tool, so I must have proper logs to fix it.

Hmm, this log is from when using external sdcard :)

Regarding apps that cannot be restored properly, are you sure they are in /data/app when you perform the backup?

Also good to know is that asec apps (encrypted or apps moved to the sdcard) will not be backed up by backup tool. Only user apps located in /data/app

Gtalk, supersu and maybe even Google+ are normally installed to /system/app and comes with the ROM.

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

I'd like to make one suggestion though, if I may. :D

In the section where you choose the launcher can you add an option to not flash any of the options? I reckon it'd be beneficial for people like myself who flash on a rom that's already set up and using a launcher. :)

Either that, or if there's a way to already tell what launcher the user is running. Like, if you can implement an option to say if you're already using a launcher. If yes then select it (in my case I'm using Apex Pro) and rom cleaner will clean any others, and NOT the one you chose, that it finds.

Hopefully I explained that well enough. Lol.
