What a nice script. Very usefull :)

Just out of curiosity, what kind of left overs removing apps with TB leave?
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] Patrics83:
:)

App data and also integrations from other apps etc.

Edit:

Main keys.

*Remove all unwanted apps before first boot.

*And do it fast with the help of ROM Cleaner! :p
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] Pretzel Kleo:
Patrics could you make a new ROMCleaner.txt updated with apks from Omega 4.2.2 please? :o

I don't know what system apps are safe to remove or not :silly:
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] eruben:
I'm using ROM Cleaner on 4.2.2 leak based rom the problem is that script created romcleaner folder inside data/media (and it is not possible to edit file inside that) though I have romcleaner inside sdcard and extsdcard too.
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] Patrics83:
Well I'm sorry to say this but v3.0 was final release. At least from me.

But please feel free to use this thread and discuss and share your ROMCleaner_user.txts

Well that's a problem with the MTP mounting.

Download the txt from the OP and edit it on your PC or simply just copy the txt from your sdcard and edit it on your PC, alt. edit the txt with a text editor on your phone...

DroidEdit Free works very well.
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] Pretzel Kleo:
There's no problem in Omega 43.4... I removed SetupWizard.apk before first boot.
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] Kdio:
Pretzel

From this post you can download a ROMCleaner_user.txt that contains a section with some "almost" safe to remove app's from a 4.2.2 (release v31 of Mike's ARHD).

I STRONGLY recommend a revision of the options made in it BEFORE using it.

Best regards.

Hi uberto

Do you mean that you can't edit it ? If so, you have 2 options:

a) Send the file to your email, edit and return it back;

or

b) I use Total Commander too to edit txt files or you can pick one from here.

Best regards.

[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] Kdio:
Sorry ... didn't got what you meant.

Which app apk ?
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] uberto.costanzo:
I think I have removed the file with rom cleaner if i know the name # ok?
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] Kdio:
Hi uberto

If you mean the file RomCleaner_User.txt that I've shared you can find it here and even an updated version here that I've just posted.

If you mean the RomCleaner "app" it can be found here and the default (Patric's) ROMCleaner_user.txt here.

Hope I've got you now.

Best regards.

Reminder: RomCleaner is NOT an app and should be used in recovery,
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] Pretzel Kleo:
Be careful... don't remove MtpApplication.apk or you will lose USB Mounting :o
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] Patrics83:
Yep :D

That's why we didn't include it in the default txt ;)

When Xphoid made default txt for the S4, he accidentally removed the apk and we had no idea why he couldn't mount mtp :p

Until I saw "Mtp..." In the txt.

Crazy **** can happen if you are too brave :cool:

Google ApkSpy.

It's an application made for Windows, with it you can read androidmanifest.xml in the apk without compiling it first.

You will see get the real app name and also the package name.

[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] Kdio:
Hi uberto

I'm glad you've tried my hard-debloat but think it will not fit your needs. Please consider my script as a bottom line of what could be removed before android stops working at all.

I STRONGLY recommend that you start by using Patric's RomCleaner_User.txt instead of mine. If feeling confident, you could copy the 4.2.2 section of my script to Patric's one.

Do that until you've got more detailed knowledge on it. I'm sure will be soon. ;)

If, after using Patric's version, the problem persists, please be welcome to report the problem at ARHD thread. I will be there to try to help.

Best regards and thanks.

[Q] Removin Folders

Hi Patrics83 and All

Did some search at S3 and S4 ROMCleaner threads but couldn't found any mention.

Inside the suggested ROMClerner_user.txt comments:

# Folder: "/path/to/folder/" <- Notice trailing forward slash and ["]/path/["] !

And when removing KIES

"/system/etc/kies"

There is any differences between with and without slash ?

I would suppose: the 1st one (with trailing forward slash) is removing all (folder+contents); the 2sd (without trailing forward slash) is removing only the contents and NOT the folder itself.

My goal would be to remove everything inside a folder including sub-folders (if exist) but itself. What should I use ?

Thanks in advance.

Best regards.
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] Patrics83:
In this case "kies" dir will be removed

"/system/etc/kies"

In this case everything inside kies dir will be removed.

"/system/etc/kies/"

Hi all,

my external SD card on the I9300 is not named extSDcard, but external_sd. ROMCleaner also stores the log file in /external_sd/Rom_Cleaner_v3.0.zip.log.txt but it doesn't remove any file. Seems it doesn't find ROMCleaner_user.txt?

Can I rename the external Card or add a link?

Thanks for the great idea and app!

Wrapp

PS: Can anybody share a 'good' ROMCleaner_user.txt for Stock Galaxy S3 4.12?
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] MarckX:
Had a quick look and it and RC should look at external_sd, so that shouldn't be a problem.

Can you provide a logcollection from the main menu of ROMCleaner? Just upload the created .tar file in the ROMCleaner folder.
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] Wrapp:
Ah, found the correct log yet.

RC didn't find any of the files in my ROMCleaner_user.txt file to remove.

Trying to delete file: AllshareMediaServer.apk

File not found: /system/app/AllshareMediaServer.apk

File was not found in /system/app/, /data/app/, /system/app_s/, /data/app_s/, /sd-ext/app/ or /sd-ext/app_s/

Maybe they all have been deleted before, so this was the reason (NeatRom_Lite:4.5).

I think everything is fine with ROMCleaner, my faault, sorry.

Thanks a lot

[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] Patrics83:
If you look closely at the log you uploaded you will see that your external sdcard was in use and so was your user.txt.

In the log you will see a list of all your system apps and data apps.

AllshareMediaServer.apk was deleted.

I think you have flashed ROM Cleaner twice or something...

No worries :D

When I saw the download counter at +12 000 downloads I figured that we had to share what we accomplished since last update for the S3.

The new version will handle internal and external sdcard much better, there are also a lot more new stuff that will make the flashing more pleasant. :)
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] JustArchi:
Hey Patrics.

If you'd like to take a look here is my list for unbloating latest 4.3 XXUGMJ9 ROM. It works very good, of course it's more like ultra-debloating but itself it doesn't cause any FC or whatsoever, it just cleans a bit more than standard.

Especially take a look at first top part, this is my self-added part which contains XXUGMJ9 update.
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] __Michael__:

ROM Cleaner v4.0 - 2013-11-10

-[B]Common[/B]
*Updated AROMA binary to 2.70RC2 (stable)
*All script has been modified to work with the new ROM Cleaner standard.
AROMA Installer will now use variables for sdcard paths...
Thanks to this new method we can now handle 12 different
ways of mounting sdcard inside recovery.
But like always you external sdcard will used as long as you have one,
else internal sdcard will be used.
*Updated Busybox in the zip to ensure all commands will work as intended
*Plus a lot more stuff that will simplify things for us when updating ROM Cleaner.

-[B]ROM Cleaner[/B]
*New layout for ROMCleaner_user.txt (Please leave feedback)
*Added more apps to be removed
*Corrected odex files remover.
(if the app name contained "()" it resulted in syntax error
and stopped the script for removing odex files.)
*First screen will now show if needed partitions are mounted.
It will also let you know if your user.txt
can be found in your ROMCleaner folder.
*Added a "free space" calculator to show how many "MB" ROM Cleaner removed.
It will also show how many files and apps it removed.
*Added a checkbox to run "Log Collection" directly after ROM Cleaner
*Refined the status messages for ROM Cleaner, now it will print

"-ROM Cleaner was successful!" - All OK

"-There was nothing to remove by ROM Cleaner" - All OK,
(did you forget to flash a ROM?) ;)

"-ROM Cleaner Failed!" - This means the script didn't execute at all.

-[B]ROM Cleaner (CM10.x, AOSP, AOKP, GE)[/B]
*Added a new ROM Cleaner for CM10.x, AOSP, AOKP, GE ROMs

-[B]Additional Scripts[/B]
*Added checkboxes for settings restorer.
*Added a warning message if you use Setup Wizard remover before first boot.
*More info will be collected in "Log Collection"

-[B]Updated all launchers[/B]

Aroma checkboxes is just a time waster. Takes us hours/days to convert to aroma checkboxes and once that's done it's a pain in the a$$ to edit it.
