Getting acquainted with ROM Cleaner. It's working quite nicely through two installs of MeanROM.

I would like to accomplish a few tasks, but not sure if it is possible.

Is it possible to install a .zip? In this case deSensed (theme)

I change out my Settings.apk for an inverted, AOSP-style Settings.apk, is it possible to use ROMCleaner to install this as well?

One last question. Must I use Notepad++ (Windows) to edit the NoSense user.txt? I must use inverted color scheme due to an eye disease. (I must have white font on black/dark background)

Up to this point I have only used the "stock" NoSense user.txt because it is impossible for me to edit using Notepad++.

Sincere thanks for a fantastic tool.

Appreciate any feedback and thoughts on my queries.

Regards,

Skid
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Patrics83:
Hi,

Normally you would be able to extract all needed apks from the theme.zip to your ../ROMCleaner/SecondBoot folder. And after fresh install go to additional scripts menu and pick Mods & Apps installer.

But... This theme is using "VillainTheme Injector" so you will have to flash the Theme.zip for it to work.

Regarding Notepad++ yes it's a must unless there is some other editor for windows that will handle unix codec without breaking the layout and all that.

However we can do like this.

Use your editor and make all edits then send the txt to me via PM and I will edit a NO-Sense_user.txt for you and send it back ;)
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Skid71:
That is EXTREMELY nice of you to offer. I sense much of your time is already given to developing, assisting, etc. with mobile gadgetry I would feel pretty bad to add another task to your list.

Only if you are sure it isn't too much of a bother.

Additionally, much thanks for the deSensed information. It isn't a pain at all to install, but RC is such a pleasure to use, I was hoping this could be accomplished as well.

I'll be using RC tonight for myself. And again this weekend to update my mom's phone.

Cheers,

Skid

Now that's what I call service. Credits earned mate!
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Patrics83:
No problems at all mate! :)

As long you give me your edited version, it's a simple task for me...

It would be pretty easy to add this theme scripts to the ROM Cleaner AROMA as well but I have a feeling that it will cause more trouble then good.

-less is more... ;)

So your mom is using ROM Cleaner as well? That's ****ing awesome! :D

noob question will this just work on evo 4g lte or will it work on any device? still kinda new :D
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] awillis111:
Not sure what I did wrong, but now i have no notification bar or recent apps. Help woukd be appreciated.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] banccalif:
This will work on several devices but you'd have to use a custom txt script to ensure that you aren't deleting apks that are necessary to function and also get rid of those that aren't in the current list to remove. I used to use a variant of this for my evo 3d but again I edited the txt file so that I didn't lose any functionality. I'm not sure which are and aren't other than the one x and evo 4g lte, the OP will have to give you the current devices that are supported.

---------- Post added at 10:37 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:32 PM ----------

Sounds like you used a custom txt file. I've tested the default sense & no sense in addition to custom for sense and no sense and that hasn't been an issue. You might have removed something you shouldn't have
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Patrics83:
We can make ROM Cleaner for almost all devices but the aroma script needs to be changed, calibration of the screen and in some cases even paths to the sdcard.

All my threads http://xdaforums.com/search.php?searchid=58150506

Not sure, but did you flash any mods? This shouldn't happen. Maybe someone here with a EVO can help you ;)
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] banccalif:
While testing I did not use any mods other than jb font and a battery meter. If it's a status bar/system mod it should most likely be flashed after rom cleaner.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] awillis111:
I need to read more. Yes, i have several mods i install. But if i read right, those need to be put in the 2nd bootup file?
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Patrics83:
Can you please run a log collection from the aroma and upload the file here.

Some mods will not work in some cases... so I suggest you use the mod.zip and flash it separately in recovery.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] awillis111:
Just sent banccalif a PM to see if ihave the instructions right. I'll send it to you also. I admit, I went off half-cocked before I fully read the instructions.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Patrics83:
All fine, question is did it work at second boot?

And what kind of mods did you try to install? A log collection file will tell us that and see if you did anything else.

Please use the thread for support questions like this, no one will make fun of you in case of total failure :)

you can also dirty flash update over previous rom and then run RC

3. run RC sense

4. boot back to twrp

5. reflash mods

Don't want to muck up the thread but...

Mom's first phone was a Samsung Transform(er)?

She could not wait to get the LTEvo.

She is running MeanROM.

To be fair she doesn't use RC yet, but after Saturday she will be, and I know she will greatly appreciate the efforts put forth by RC's team.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Patrics83:
Haha sounds perfect mate ;)

BTW, I left a description for how to change theme in notepad++ on the previous page :)
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Skid71:
Patrics,

The description worked like a charm and I was able to edit without issue (sort of).

I downloaded the No-Sense.txt, edited with Notepad++.

Saved as "ROMCleaner_user" (it was a .txt file).

Placed it in the ROMCleaner folder.

Complete wipe

Installed ROM

Backed out into recovery

Ran ROMCleaner

I chose the No-Sense option.

Boot

Reboot into RC

Ran additional scripts

All well with the exception of Facebook was still installed, even though I took it out of the ROMCleaner_user.txt file.

I'm absolutely sure I made an error somewhere, just not certain where.

Thanks again for offering to edit the file for me. I'm very glad that Notepad++ offers some tools for the visually challenged.

Regards,

Skid

I hope you downloaded NO-Sense_user.txt made your edits and then just saved the changes.

ROMCleaner_user.txt is for Sense users and will only be used if you pick ROM Cleaner (Sense) option.

Regarding Facebook, please run a log collection inside ROM Cleaner main menu and upload RC_LogCollection*.tar so I can have a look.

I follow this thread all the time so I'm embarrassed to say I just ran RC for the first time :p very painless. Thanks for all the hard work. I will use it in the future for sure :highfive:

PS: I have a quick question how do you make Facebook go away and NEVER come back? If I'm understanding correctly I just remove the # in front of anything FB in Notepad++ then do I just copy and paste it to a standard text doc? If so where would I put the modified ROMCleaner_user.txt? TIA :D
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] MarckX:
Better late than never I would say, but most ppl are convinced after first use and are hooked.... well.... at least in my case :D

Yes, you are correct here, sir. Just remove the # in front of the line and Facebook will be ditched whenever you use ROMCLeaner, unless the are going to change the appname in the future, that is.

Just download the ROMCLeaner_user.txt from OP, modify it, just save it (the format will be right) and copy it straight into the ROMCleaner folder on your device, so script will detect it and use it in stead of its standard .txt file.

Good luck and thanks for the nice words! :D
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Sloth:
Thanks for the reply I hope I did it correctly :p I guess I'll find out next time I use it :D

I noticed when ROMCleaner_user.txt is saved it's saved as a standard text doc is that correct?
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] MarckX:
Yep, if the extension is .txt, you'll be fine and ready to go.

[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Skid71:
Patrics,

It appears I downloaded the correct .txt (no-sense)

But saved it incorrectly (naming it ROMCleaner_user.txt)

When I ran RC after installing MeanROM, I chose the No-Sense in RC. So RC used the default file, not my modified file.

I did poorly following instructions.

To clarify...

The modified No-Sense.txt file should be placed in the ROMCleaner folder.

Then, when running RC, and choosing No-Sense, the modified file will be used?

My apologies for seeming dense. Taking a little longer than normal to sink in.

Thanks again,

Skid
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] MarckX:
No worries mate, no need for apologies. Imo that's what XDA is all about: helping each other out.

But in your case it seems you figured out yourself what happend and how to solve it. So I can happily confirm your question :good:
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Patrics83:
Yes it will use the modified txt if it's named NO-Sense_user.txt

Else it will use the default one inside the zip.

[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] banccalif:
Did you modify the script? I use this on every flash from sense to asop, clean and dirty flashes to get rid of unwanted apps and that's NEVER happened to me.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] treIII:
Nope. I just ran rc and now I can't send messages. I don't get it

---------- Post added at 07:05 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:56 PM ----------

I don't know why but now after an hour I can text. I haven't done anything to repair the problem at all. Very strange. But I don't understand the value in this. I don't have any more free ram, and do not notice anything different. I followed the instructions to a t. Wiped everything, installed Rom, then ran rc sense version. I was liking for morefree ram. Thanks
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] banccalif:
It doesn't magically give you more ram.. It really depends on the apps you install and run. After running my user script I get and stay around 400-250 mb free
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] flex360:
which script is that?
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] banccalif:
The rom cleaner user script, I add LOTS of apps. I pretty much gut it and it's as close to asop as I think I can get while keeping full functionality

Want me to pm it so you can take a look?
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Sloth:
Hey cali does the user text get modified within RC or only when I modify it using notepad++

I use jota text editor from the play store and mod on the fly bro:D. I have a mac and wasn't able to find that program for lion osx
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Sloth:
The more I use it the more I notice that some stuff isn't being removed I.E. sprint tv,voicemail and a few more I can't remember I used the user text posted in the OP as a template and got rid of all the FB and Twitter BS maybe I need to dig a little deeper and find the other stuff I want out :D

I used Tibu to find the apps I wanted out. Locate the app within Tibu, click it, click the yellow words in the middle then copy the package name to your script:thumbup:
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] treIII:
I wasn't expecting a magic trick. I read the op and thought I read that rc may increase ram. I may be mistaken. I do not have the ability to develop any thing like this. So thank you to those who did. Thank you for those it does help. I'm using tranquility Rom and is a great sense Rom. I was just seeing I'd maybe there could be some type of improvement somehow to that Rom. But those guys who go by bad seed have done a terrific job. So I probably shouldn't have been looking in the first place. I normally have 200 to 370 ram available. That's probably the average for most sense roms at this point in development. I also use a.custom kernel and it's a so smooth as a combination with the Rom. I may have hit the nail on the head with the two. 50 percent screen on time and 20 hopes battery life average. Sometimes folks such as I shouldn't go messing with earthly perfection. I myself like sense. Aosp is not preference. This is why I use an htc device. Thanks for your input.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] banccalif:
Np at all, I'd say to try. I'm not the developer but I've used RC for quite some time. Hope I didn't come off as a jerk (not intended at all). I'd say to give the user script a shot and modify the it to your liking. I use it on MeanRom faithfully and I see vast improvements in my daily use. It can't hurt, just nandroid before running it to be sure you can easily revert back to you setup if you don't like it
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] treIII:
I don't know what the user script sites or how to operate it. Would you mind explaining.Little?
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] banccalif:
The rom cleaner user.txt file located in the op.. Basically you can add more apps to the list (to delete) by finding the apk file path using titanium backup and adding them to the script. Once that's complete you take the txt file and place it in the RC folder and run it. If you need help adding apps just give me a holler via pm with a list of apps you want gone and ill mod it for you

I ran the sense version and my ram didn't improve. But I would like to have the HTC music widget back. How can I get that back? Also I see in root explorer that this removed a bunch of stuff. I tried to use root explorer to get the apks out of the Rom and reinstall the three apks for it that were removed but they won't install. Tia if you can help
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Patrics83:
Regarding RAM, what did you expect?

Do you know how android management works? :)

If you read the changelog you will get a hint about how it would be possible to reinstall a htc widget.

Use Apps & Mod installer.

Copy the apks you want to re-install to "/sdcard/ROMCleaner/SecondBoot/system/app"

Then flash ROMCleaner.zip again and in main menu press "Additional Scripts" > "Apps & Mod Installer"

When done reboot from the power menu.

Now your apps will be back and your widget is back as well. (You don't have to clear htc sense data with this method)

If you don't want to use the simple method.

Copy your apks to /system/app using root explorer, then set permissions for each apk. (rw-r--r--)

Then clear HTC Sense data (your homescreen will be restored) and reboot.

Now your apps will be back and your widget. All you have to do now is to re-configure your homescreen.

Good luck!

Edit: BTW, you should always read before flashing stuff ;)

Edit your own ROMCleaner_user.txt and you will be able to decide what to remove and not...
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] banccalif:
Copy and paste the apk from the ROM zip into system - apps then set permissions

As far as ram, its dependant on remaining/installed apps that are running and how much ram they take. The less apps, the higher ram potential

[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Patrics83:
SecondBoot folder helps a lot and now since we have the widget reloading script we can install widgets like normal apks. :)

[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Patrics83:
So what was the reason?

And no, ROM Cleaner will not break the alarm. But of course, maybe you removed something that isn't removed by default. Or maybe you have installed any mods or something that will cause this.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] treIII:
It didn't work for anyone. The dev of the rom fixed it. Thank you.

Since installing this when I do a full wipe and super wipe and install a rom all of my apps return without using titanium backup.

Oh, and your responses are very timely and I thank you for that
