Re: [SCRIPT] ROM Cleaner v3.0 AROMA | Remove Bloatware | Backup Apps | Install Apps/M

Sorry if this is a stupid question

Is rom cleaner work on stuck and custom rom or only in custom rom

Samsung galaxy s3
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] tisazalay:
It works on both (stock & custom) types of ROMs. You need though non-stock recovery to run the script, so you need to remember that (must have custom recovery) if you go on stock, because some may write stock recovery and you won't be able to install a custom zip (aka ROMCleaner).

Much thanks:thumbup::thumbup:
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] Theshawty:
Patric, could you look into adding /system/bin/kiesexe to the default script? It's as per the name kies related and can actually provide roughly 20+ free MB RAM (and was previously known to cause a nasty memory leak in stock roms)

I can't verify the free RAM thing, it's a loose rumor that I've heard.

Also, secExchange could as well be added, so proper names and paths:

"/system/bin/kiesexe"

SecExchange.apk
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] stanley08:
The thing now is dat different devs actually change the names of system apps for some reason, or maybe dat is just from the ROM Base. I don't know. But anyways, most times we end up with stuff like 'Calculator.apk' and 'SecCalculator.apk' on two different ROMs. So that is the case here, as in the default script that i edited personally, you will notice that Exchange.apk is present there. But anyways, will look into this when releasing my next edit. :)
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] Theshawty:
Awesome. On all stock-based roms I've been on, though, exchange has always been called secExchange, etc.

Re: [SCRIPT] ROM Cleaner v3.0 AROMA | Remove Bloatware | Backup Apps | Install Apps/M

I want to remove just some apps e.g Apollo

I should just write its name? Or I've to write apps that I don't want remove too?
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] MarckX:
Nope, just write the name of the app you want to remove in the _user.txt. Not named .apk's and apk's listed behind a hashtag (#), will not be removed by the ROMCleaner script. :cool:

Watch it tho, apps that are in /system/app after flashing rom, you can add as name.apk (eg. Browser.apk)

Apps that will be in /data/app you have to add to the _user.txt as full names as they appear after your rom flash (eg: for youtube it is: com.google.android.youtube-1.apk) :)

And.... ofc as always: all names are case sensitive. :fingers-crossed:
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] Theshawty:
A question. Does the user script need to look like it does (i.e does it need to have a certain default structure) or could I rearrange it like I please and it's still gonna get picked up by rom manager? (so long as the naming is ROMCleaner_user)
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] MarckX:
From version 3.0 you don't have to keep the "test" removal as a check for RC doing its job. So, you can delete all lines starting with the hashtag, as they are just comments making it easy to understand how you can use it without much trouble editing it.

All that will be left is a list of files to-be-removed. No particular structure/order whatsoever is needed here.

The default text is made to have a clear categorised view of what is to be removed. If you keep the provided structure you will notice you will be able keep the text clean and well organised. But hey, it's up to you if you want to use it like that, or use your own structure :cool:
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] Theshawty:
Thanks!

Btw, could you check through this list? It's what I plan to remove. I'm not gonna remove S Voice and I think I'll keep the CSC junk this time as some mods can be done with the CSC.

Re: [SCRIPT] ROM Cleaner v3.0 AROMA | Remove Bloatware | Backup Apps | Install Apps/M

Can't tell you a lot about the apps, as I don't own a SG3, but you have should have a look at your "-signs. Looks like you double them at the end if the first few lines. Just remove one of them. And then you miss one " at the end with the pittpatt line.

You don't have to add the /system/app, if you want to remove app's from the system folder. It is ok, but not necessary

Edit that, give it a go and make a log collection. Post that one here, and we'll look at it. :D

I am usually freeze the apps which I do not require. But I want to know the difference between freezing apps or in rom cleaner work bcoz I am planning to flash new rom in s3 i9300.
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] Patrics83:
ROM Cleaner will remove applications from your device. (done in less then 5 sec)

Freezing the app will just disable it. In some cases unused services will still be running in the background.

It's up to you if you want to freeze or remove the app :)

[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] alirezaafkar:
is it possible from recovery ? How ?
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] Patrics83:
I wasn't sure if you meant aroma resolution. Because that is easily changed with a ini_set in aroma-config.

Regarding "LCD density", this value is set in /system/build.prop.

It is possible to add it to ROM Cleaner but if I where you I would search for other alternatives.

Basically you need a 'sed' command to change the current value.

Sent from my HTC One X
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] Pard0ned:
Don't need to do it in recovery. Just find the line in build.prop in /system and change the value (look for the "ro.sf.lcd_density=320" line), save the changes and reboot your phone. Done.

Save a copy of your original build.prop file before, to be on the safe side. The only difference this makes is you need to know the exact values, instead of an app having them preset. Just Google "optimal values for galaxy s3 density", or something similar, to get specific values.
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] Patrics83:
Yep!

or....

does the rom cleaner work with the latest leaked android 4.2.2?
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] MarckX:
That shouldn't be a problem at all.

Just give it a go and give us some feedback if you want ;)
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] Smiffyboots:
Sure :)

After superwipe I installed the rom, I didn't choose to reboot, I went back into recovery. I then run Rom cleaner, it done its thing but said that it had removed nothing. After first boot I went back into recovery and did everything the same, this time it said it was successful.

Perhaps rom cleaner cannot see the apks correctly until the initial boot has finished?
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] Patrics83:
Thanks for your reply

Do you have a external sdcard?
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] Smiffyboots:
Yes I do. That's why I superwipe, it gets rid of everything. I flashed superwipe, rom, and rom cleaner from external sd.

Would rom cleaner of left a log from the first failed attempt? If so I will share it.
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] Patrics83:
Hmm this is crazy?!?! No idea why this happens to only you :s

Maybe it's related to your recovery?

Someone else has to confirm this and help you because I have no idea really.

The only logs you have now is from the latest flash but please run the log collection option from inside ROM Cleaner AROMA and then upload the file.

Hi Patrics,

Thought i was going mad, every time i made a user list for deletion and put it in theRomCleaner folder on the phone it showed that nothing was cleaned and i did that numerous times.

Today i tried again and was shown the same text in RC nothing cleaned. Then i checked TB and there were apps/widgets deleted from a short list i made to test. So it turns out it woks after all and that makes me very happy and i just deleted a bunch of apps :)

Realy thought i was going crazy but all is fine now, it was my misstake, the cleaner works perfectly.

Just one question why is a new launcher installed every time you want to clean, in case when people wipe touchwizz accidently?
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] Patrics83:
Perfect, now I know why this happens!

CWM 5.x mounts external sdcard as /sdcard and internal sdcard as /data/media

CWM 6.x mounts external sdcard as /external_sd and internal as /sdcard

As you might understand this will cause some serious issues :s and this is why you get this kind of problem.

Super wipe script will format /data this means your internal sdcard will be formated as well as you might know already... At first boot your data partition will be created. This means there is no internal sdcard before first boot...

So my question to everyone.

Is CWM 6.x a stable and good recovery for S3?

If yes then I will change all paths in my scripts to work with only CWM 6.x

Sent from my HTC One X
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] Patrics83:
If you get this result you might have missed an important part in the ROMCleaner.txt

# (Test file used by ROM Cleaner. Don't remove this line!)
test
# (Test file used by ROM Cleaner. Don't remove this line!)

When you run ROM Cleaner it will extract a file to /system/app and then delete it with ROM Cleaner script. If the script can find the test file after the cleaning process, you will get an error like this...

Please confirm.

A new launcher will be installed everytime because the script is designed to be used after a clean install.

When you pick TouchWiz no launcher will be installed.

ARHD 2.2.0 and ROMCleaner

Seems like there's some people having issues with Android Revolution HD rom and this script.

I also had the issue where ROMCleaner did not find my ROMCleaner_user.txt file.

I did a Superwipe. Installed ARHD 2.2.0. Did not reboot after rom install but directly went for a ROMCleaner installation.

This did not remove any apps for me.

Problem seems to be that external sdcard is not mounted by default in this recovery/rom.

If you guys do a Superwipe. Let it reboot by itself. Then when it's back up in recovery

go to "mounts and storage" and mount the external sdcard

Then go and install ARHD 2.2.0.

When it is done installing do NOT reboot your device.

Go back to your external sdcard and install ROMCleaner.zip

Reboot!

ps. I hope you have a ROMCleaner directory on your external sdcard and the ROMCleaner_user.txt file in it.

I do not have an external SD card. Can i still use this? If so, how can I make it run the ROMCleaner_user.txt... What folder should i create and where? :-<

If I create a folder under sdcard/0/ROMCleaner and paste the user.txt there it doesn't read it. But when I go in recovery, I see that i have under sdcard, ROMCleaner, clockworkdmod legacy and obb but when I plug the phone into the laptop I cannot acces those folders... How can i do this? :|

Mentioning that I am using philz touch recovery
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] MarckX:
Thanks for the nice words mate. We're glad you like it.

:D

Nope, but if you look in the Omega ROM zip and look for the added apps, you can add them to your _user.zip to remove all you want.

ROMCleaner detects if there is an external sdcard. If it's not present, it will use internal memory. The script will work from this path: /sdcard/ROMCleaner. So the _user.txt file should be located in there.

Can you upload your logcollection from the ROMCleaner main menu, please? Then we can have a look of what happened ;)
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] Patrics83:
Hmm, well you might be alone about not ever connect your device to a computer, but ok :)

Well I'm still not recommending it... Also it will break the Google Backup/Restore

And in some cases operating system languages will be gone.

We have designed ROM Cleaner like this for a reason ;)

Cheers mate! :victory:

IMO ROM Cleaner (app removing part) will work just fine if you move your user.txt to /mnt/sdcard/ROMCleaner

But as MarckX said, make a log collection and see if it gets created and then we will get all needed info about the recovery etc.
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] Unghiutza:
Ok, so to be more explicit about my problem. When I search my phones memory while in a recovery (i.e. When I want to flash something and use "INSTALL ZIP from blablabla" and click it) it show mes like this 0/ legacy/ obb/ ROMCleaner/ (ROMCleaner is the file that I should access in order to place the user.txt file over there, but when I connect the phone to the laptop, I do not see that ROMCleaner folder, i only see whats beyond sdcard/0/
