Cool!

Basically just copy his entire first post into a txt file called ROMCleaner_user.txt :p

Edit: However the list is very close to what's already provided in this thread...

Only problem is that most ppl don't read and therefore miss the ROMCleaner_user.txt with all apps and descriptions.

Mate, check my OP... And all my other threads.

Me and some great xda users have already made a list like this.

ROM Cleaner no root needed

No root needed. But if i remember it right once you installed a custom recovery the status of your phone changes to Custom from Official, right? Anyone can confirm this?

Thanks in advance!
[Galaxy S 4 Themes and Apps] Patrics83:
That's correct.

It's possible to change it to Official via Xposed but that doesn't help much I guess...

Sent from my HTC One X
[Galaxy S 4 Themes and Apps] Patrics83:
If anyone are interested in a ROM Cleaner script that only needs root and no custom recovery.

In short: It's a script that you run via Windows command prompt.

Instead of placing the ROMCleaner_user.txt on your sdcard you keep it on your pc in same dir as the script.

Your device should be booted in to Android.

Let us know if you are interested and I will send you a test script via PM :)

Hi,

The only way I can see to do that is to install a pre-rooted ROM,like DjeMBeY's.

Then, you could try using Patric's new root only script.

OK i guess there's no way at all except Xposed... but i don't want to root my phone [again], already reverted it to non-root & stock. Nonetheless, thanks!

2.Re-flash the ROM

3.Restore your nandroid backup.

You have set the ROM Cleaner to delete the keyboard.

[Galaxy S 4 Themes and Apps] KenHua:
Dear Patric,

After running your program my GE MK9 ROM size Is reduced from about 1GB down to 760MB, which is a great achievement. On the other hand, the Echoe ROM MK8 Utra Slim version is able to achieve down to 548MB, wonder what else they have taken off.

By the way I found that both "SecCalendar_SPen.apk" and "SecCalendarProvider.apk" are required if you wish to have the awesome Samsung S-Planner. Not sure where they named it with an "SPen" suffix.

[Galaxy S 4 Themes and Apps] Patrics83:
Thanks you for the feedback! :D

An update will come for sure... But when I have time. :)

ROMCleaner_user.txt isn't that aggressive by default, so you have to edit it to achieve more free space.

It's also possible that they have removed files from inside apks, pngs, sounds, unused icons, more libs.

I'm more then happy to hear that!

Thanks a lot mate works like a charm
[Galaxy S 4 Themes and Apps] andyjg247:
Been using this for quite a while now (thanks guys) and just thought of a suggestion.

I basically run this after every CM update to remove Apollo and other things before it boots.

Is it possible to setup a move of files from x to y when it runs too? I'm thinking, at least in my case, of moving photos to the external SD card to ensure they don't get lost on a wipe (if it was required)? Maybe an option to copy as well as move?

cheers
[Galaxy S 4 Themes and Apps] Patrics83:
I get what you mean but don't you think it would be easier to copy your stuff from intSD to extSD manually?

Sent from my HTC One X
[Galaxy S 4 Themes and Apps] andyjg247:
Yeah I already do mate :)

Not sure how most people use this tool day to day. I install a nightly (usually daily), install a kernel and then run this to cleanup the stuff I don't want. If there was also an option to move files from one location to another that would also be helpful. I would move things like downloads/pictures to the ext SD card. Sometimes on a nightly/ROM I have to wipe and can't get back to a bootable state so this would ensure there are no files I need to worry about on the internal storage. Hope I'm making sense!

Was just a thought though, no worries. :D

cheers

I have an issue restoring a couple of apps that were cleaned that i Need.

Titanium Backup is just hanging at the "Restoring App+Data" screen, this worked before flashing ROM Cleaner v2.

Mainly i need to re-install/restore the Alarm 1.0 app/widget and Chrome, or I can re-flsh my Omega v19 Rom then if possible can i exclude these from the clean?

Would ideally like to be able to restore my Titanium Backup if possible, cannot restore any apps/data.

I have confirmed my phone is still rooted and also downloaded the latest Supersu zip and flashed this.
[Galaxy S 4 Themes and Apps] Patrics83:
This is definitely not related to ROM Cleaner...

Make sure your system partitions is mounted as r/w and double check your SU, normally you shouldn't have to flash new SU or anything like that on a custom ROM.

You can restore those apps with ROM Cleaner - Apps And Mods Installer (Additional Scripts Menu) Check the guide for how to use it, but basically just put your apps in "./ROMCleaner/SecondBoot/System/app/" then flash RC.zip and when in main menu press Apps and Mods Installer and reboot.

You can also re flash the ROM and ROM Cleaner with your own ROMCleaner_user.txt check the guide for how to edit it...

just another remark is there a way to launch the application directly from recovery or from an icon on the phone? for me personnally it's a contra diction when you have to install the zip on order to get the logfiles because these should not be there if you do a clean install. but that's perhaps just my twisted IT mind that's comming into play
[Galaxy S 4 Themes and Apps] Acer4605:
deleted wrong thread
[Galaxy S 4 Themes and Apps] Patrics83:
Yeah that would be cool!

You can copy the logs from the sdcard but in most cases the users tends to mess it up and provide old/faulty logs and that's why we have the log collection option in aroma installer.

You can also execute the log collection script so it will run directly after the cleaning. This saves you from rebooting to recovery again :)

hope you can do something with my logfile and find out why a lot of stuff hasn't been deleted as it should have been, or correct me if I forgot something. :D

[Galaxy S 4 Themes and Apps] Patrics83:
Your posts are getting kinda annoying by now... Do something about it instead of talking about your 190 apps.

This is a script you can use to remove any file in your system, I suggest that you do some reading and customize the script to your needs.

As mentioned a bit earlier, S1LENT_ will post his EXTREME debloating list.

Wait for it or make your own, it's not that hard.

Yes, ROMCleaner_user.txt will always have first priority.

No need to do anything but copy your "ROMCleaner_user.txt" to that folder. (Note: case sensitive)

Now, be wary that this is only for users who use in English (UK or US), if not edit and remove the last few lines which contain the font.ttfs

Flash your ROM again with NO WIPE, that should put all things removed back. Then make a backup before running the script again...
[Galaxy S 4 Themes and Apps] Patrics83:
Download ROMCleaner_user.txt from 2nd post and edit it with notepad++ (if in windows)

Then copy your user.txt to the ROMCleaner folder.

Flash the ROM again without wipe followed by ROM Cleaner. Now your user.txt will he used and s-memo will be back.

Alt. Extract needed apks and copy them to /system/app

Set permissions rw-r--r-- and reboot.

It's still recommended to edit your own ROMCleaner_user.txt.

Each app/file has a description so it should be easy to know what the app does.
