from a nice 1mb script to a 10/50mb app with many menus, a non sense logo...

I think would be nice to keep the original version up too. It was just straight to the point (delete!). So people can download

That is the one that I use (with many more things I added in the delete list) :)
[Galaxy S 5 Android Development (Snapdragon)] xXx:
Thanks for your open feedback!

Yes, the simple flash script was straight forward but also completely inflexible. If you look back to the beginning of the script I also removed the Samsung stock keyboard which was bloatware in my mind but many users relied on this. So I removed it from the script which already leaves one bloatware item which also consumes ram and performance. Then some people wanted to get rid of the stock music or video player. Makes total sense to many users but some use it as their default player.

Therefore I decided to migrate everything to an Aroma installer in order to gain total flexibility and provide users with the ability to fit the cleaning process as close as possible to their personal requirements. That said, I will not continue to maintain the simple script. For me that’s end of life.

As many users (like me as well) use Nova Launcher instead of the Touchwiz launcher I added a section to install this alternative to be able to remove Touchwiz without being left with an unusable useless rom. The same I did yesterday for the keyboard. I hate the S5 stock keyboard but the S6 one is just like SwiftKey which I’m using since ever. Yes, this is bloating the zip file of the Aroma flash script but hey, I just tested the download and I couldn’t even measure the download time as it was between 1-2 sec.

Anyway, there is always a way to improve usability and functionality of the Aroma script. I’m happy that you give feedback here. What I can think of is a “1 Step Cleaning” option which will really go to the limits and leave the options for users who want to configure the cleaning process.

Here comes another issue I would like to see solved.

I already had the impression that I’m the only one posting here. There are no dumb questions and I would be happy to get as much feedback from everybody what you like or dislike or feature requests or…..

Therefore I encourage everybody here to post your thoughts. It don’t have to be smart questions or answers all the time.

I would be happy if you just post what you think or an experience you would like to share with us.

I like all the options, and just want more options - don't know what more to add, but lots of options is good.

A little confusing that in one page in the aroma you check what you want to keep, and on another page you check what you want to remove. But I see why you choose to do it that way, in some way it makes sense.

I'm on XtreStoLite, and just use this to clean even more - but if Edgar leave the project again, for a long period of time, I look froward to try this in other roms.

I follow your project close, and try to test every version you make available.

Keep up the good work.
[Galaxy S 5 Android Development (Snapdragon)] xXx:
Sounds good. I will definetly continue and currently working on a one button clean option which will clean as much as possible with one single button. I also plan to find a way how to implement personal selection profiles which could be saved.
[Galaxy S 5 Android Development (Snapdragon)] Bredal22:
Saved profiles sounds very good to me.
[Galaxy S 5 Android Development (Snapdragon)] xXx:
I suspect this will be a tough task but I will try it ;)

My message app dissapeared after using the cleaner.

What could have gone wrong?
[Galaxy S 5 Android Development (Snapdragon)] xXx:
Which message app are you missing?
[Galaxy S 5 Android Development (Snapdragon)] hansmichel:
message app dissapeared

Mine too........Samsung messaging I believe....
[Galaxy S 5 Android Development (Snapdragon)] xXx:
If you just select barebone cleaning and don't select any app in the following keeps menu everything listed there will be wiped by Default. This also include gmail and Samsung email. Either you flash the rom again or restore just the system from your Nandroid backup and then select the respective app to be kept.
[Galaxy S 5 Android Development (Snapdragon)] rk73:

These are helpful hints. I started to port to Aroma just to provide some choice to the user and now I'm in the middle of programming trying to implement saved profiles. It take sometimes but first Alpha version is already working. So I suppose this will be releaseable until this weekend. Gid to know there are devs with extended Aroma experience.
[Galaxy S 5 Android Development (Snapdragon)] Lfuz75:
Thanks for your great work!

Just flashed on SM-G900M, AllianceROM v1.7

Everything is working fine, no issues at all

is this working on kk now ? i had tried it out on kk once and it did nothing , it was an old version of urwsoft. i will try out the 4.1 tonight .hope it works
[Galaxy S 5 Android Development (Snapdragon)] xXx:
I never checked KK and unfortunately also never got any feedback from users who tried it either.
[Galaxy S 5 Android Development (Snapdragon)] milojoseph:
I reported that it works for me in kitkat

Sent from my SM-G900T powered by Alliance Rom and ktoonsez kernel
[Galaxy S 5 Android Development (Snapdragon)] xXx:
oh, I missed that. I wasn't quite sure if this will work with KK as it has slidly different folder structure. When I pushed the next release out of the door I will check if the are more left to clean out on KK.
[Galaxy S 5 Android Development (Snapdragon)] Brawler7:
Will these work in Zombie Rom which is based in S6 ?
[Galaxy S 5 Android Development (Snapdragon)] Lfuz75:
Yes, I've used it with no problems, zombie rom v3.0
[Galaxy S 5 Android Development (Snapdragon)] Brawler7:
Thanks . Will try this .
[Galaxy S 5 Android Development (Snapdragon)] jah2110:
hi, good work, but a lot of inportant apps are missing in the aroma, like wallpaper picker and clock widgets dont function rigth. im ussing in 900m. thx
[Galaxy S 5 Android Development (Snapdragon)] xXx:
Hey guys,

I can't believe I got this done but I completely redeveloped the Barebone Cleaner and implemented saved profiles to save individual settings and provide fast track profile executions (see info’s on the first page under features & benefits).

Futher new implementations:

Additional and more detailed cleaning options

New Rom Specifics Menu to be able to remove specific and non-stock apps as well.

New menu structure with multi window operation for better selective cleaning operation.

I'm very excited about this achievement and look forward your feedbacks how you like it.
[Galaxy S 5 Android Development (Snapdragon)] xXx:
This should be fixed now with version 5.0
[Galaxy S 5 Android Development (Snapdragon)] Bredal22:
Nice work with the profile think. I like it a lot.

In my opinion, the selection of stuff to remove is easier and more logical in this new version. Thanks again.

I'm just wondering about the editable text file for the profile you write about. I only see this file that I can't even open:

View attachment 3248403
[Galaxy S 5 Android Development (Snapdragon)] xXx:
I had that exact same issue during the development of v5.0 and later forgot about it. I will fix this issue with fhe next version.

Anyway, there is a folder and everything is working fine but the File Explorer don't show it right.

As a workaround solution I deleted it and created it again as an empty folder with the file explorer. Since then everything worked fine.

I have to find out now how to get the folder created in the right format.
[Galaxy S 5 Android Development (Snapdragon)] xXx:
wait a minute, I created v5.0.1 which should fix it. It deletes the unreadable folder and create a new one which works fine on my side. I will upload it now.
[Galaxy S 5 Android Development (Snapdragon)] xXx:
v5.0.1 is online now. This should solve the issue.

After one execution of the cleaner you should find a folder "urwsoft" on your internal sdcard which contains the file profile.urwsoft which contains your saved profile and can be modified with a text editor.

Could you please give me a short feedback if this solved the issue for you?
[Galaxy S 5 Android Development (Snapdragon)] Bredal22:
Nothings changed here, after executing run saved profile.
[Galaxy S 5 Android Development (Snapdragon)] xXx:
No idea right now what the issue is. Anyway, here you get a solution how to get rid of the issue until I find a way to solve it.

Please download the Aroma File manager https://github.com/amarullz/AROMA-Filemanager/releases/download/2.00/aromafm-2.00b7.zip

Then flash it in recovery and browse to sdcard and delete the urwsoft folder.

Then exit the file manager and reboot to android.

Then use any file explorer like Es File Explorer and create a new folder on the internal sdcard named exactly urwsoft

From now on when you use the Barebone Cleaner you should be able to find the saved profiles in this folder and be able to edit them.
[Galaxy S 5 Android Development (Snapdragon)] jah2110:
Hello, still can choose important applications like wallpaper picker and widgets on the home screen , many applications that are chosen to not be erased know erased , the new interface is complicated and not well explained , I would like to use it but the only way possible is deleting everything and installing edgarf aroma . greetings To You
[Galaxy S 5 Android Development (Snapdragon)] xXx:
I found the cause of the issue but have to change some part of my code to finally resolve it. This might take some more time but I will get it done soon. The good news is that everything else is working as intended so far.
[Galaxy S 5 Android Development (Snapdragon)] xXx:
thanks for your feedback. I will look into that.
[Galaxy S 5 Android Development (Snapdragon)] xXx:
I just released version 5.1. This was a very tough one and a real challange to get this solved. Wherever and however I tried to write to the sdcard from within the Aroma Installer I ended up with a URWsoft folder and profiles which couldn't be edited or deleted anymore.

Anyway, I took the challange and at some point I found my way to solve this issue by going a complete different way and everything should be working now as intended.

After the next execution of the Barebone Cleaner you will find the URWsoft folder on the sdcard and should be able to edit the profile.

Also all selection items for addition menus in the main menu are highlighted in blue color now for a better overview.

I would appreciate your feedback if this is all working now.
[Galaxy S 5 Android Development (Snapdragon)] xXx:
I checked for these issues and can't find any issue with Clock and Wallpaper settings. What I found is an issue with the Weather widget. I will fix that one.

You mentioned that many applications which you choose to be kept still will be deleted. Could you please help me and provide more information what exactly doesn't work right?
[Galaxy S 5 Android Development (Snapdragon)] jah2110:
Clock and wallpaper piker dessapear and is not posible to change background, Nova louncher, and let me doit again for give you more esfecific info.
[Galaxy S 5 Android Development (Snapdragon)] Bredal22:
Thanks for all your effort. Appreciate it.

I just ran the saved profile again, but I still can't see the folder on my internal storage. What do I need to do then? Delete the old profile, and then create a new one?
[Galaxy S 5 Android Development (Snapdragon)] xXx:
When you once run version 5.1 should delete the old folder which is either URWsoft or urwsoft but save your profile. Then after restarting Android a script is executed which is recreating the URWsoft folder and copy the profiles back to it.

As File Explorer please use Es File Explorer or Root Explorer or Root Browser.

I suppose you current have no URWsoft folder at all on your internal sdcard, right? What I experienced one time during testing was that the script didn't create the URWsoft folder right after the first Android start. So please try to restart Android again and check again if the folder was created then.

Let me know if this worked.
[Galaxy S 5 Android Development (Snapdragon)] xXx:
That's strange. Probably I misunderstand this but here are two screenshots which I took after barebone cleaning EXCEPT clock, wallpaper and weather. I could still choose and assign wallpapers. Anyway, I will further investigate this. Thanks for your help :thumbup:
[Galaxy S 5 Android Development (Snapdragon)] cobra11111:
Hallo,

all works very good only one not works after install One-handed operation can please only this restore?
[Galaxy S 5 Android Development (Snapdragon)] xXx:
I'm in maintenance mode today and will add an option to keep One-hand mode. Unfortunately, the cleaner can't restore.

To get it working again you could either wait for my new release later today, flash your rom again and then unselect one-mode option.

Or as an immediate solution you could download the XtreStoLite add-on package from Edgar28f and just pick the one-hand mode to be installed.

[Galaxy S 5 Android Development (Snapdragon)] Bredal22:
Sorry for my late replay, just got busy with work.

Now I see the folder and the content. Great. Just what I needed.

But my daughter found a bug in Kids Mode after cleaning. Of cause with out selecting to clean kids mode.

[Galaxy S 5 Android Development (Snapdragon)] lexsupa:
I am curious and just want to ask a non-related question! But why did you use this mod with XtreStoLite? Because, as I know, XtreStoLite is pretty well debloated :)
[Galaxy S 5 Android Development (Snapdragon)] zhuchella:
After using this tool I can't use google play. The main window of this app close after program start. What should I do ?
[Galaxy S 5 Android Development (Snapdragon)] xXx:
I suppose you also installed the S6 Keyboard. If so, the keyboard popup a Window when used the firdt time. Google Play suppress this Windows and close after this. If you start any app first like contacts or browser or whatever you will get the popup window from the keyboard and confirm the required options. After this procedure also Google Play starts fine.

Bug Fix – Parts of Google TTS, Stock Video Player and SBrowser was always cleaned even it was excluded from cleaning.
[Galaxy S 5 Android Development (Snapdragon)] zhuchella:
No with S5 keyboard I also have this bug. There is no bug on v.3.0.1 of Your Mod. And after using v5.2 of the mod I have no google play services on my system. I think thant's problem of my bug.
[Galaxy S 5 Android Development (Snapdragon)] xXx:
Ok, I will look into this. On which rom and version do you experience this issue?
[Galaxy S 5 Android Development (Snapdragon)] xXx:
I solved the issue and uploaded version 5.4

https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=95916177934556819

Here are the changes:

Bug Fix – In some cases the Google Play Store closed right after starting.

New Option – Now it’s possible to exclude the Stock File Manager from cleaning.

I experience some issues with updating the op page and will do this later today. Anyway, the download is available.

Just installed Bod3 and ran your script .

It works great thanks! Very quick and great battery life now.

I chose the extreme debloat option.

Is the any way the script could also remove the sfinder &quick connect buttons or is that more involved?

Many thanks
[Galaxy S 5 Android Development (Snapdragon)] xXx:
Thanks for your feedback. Glad to hear that everything is working fine for you.

The sfinder & quick connect buttons ars part of the systemui and you will need a modified version to do this. The best I can suggest you is to choose a rom which already provides you with these kind of Sytemui tweaks out of the box.
[Galaxy S 5 Android Development (Snapdragon)] f1ux:
Thanks for the reply. I usual use xtrestolite but thought I'd give your cleaner a try!

I've just noticed I seem to be getting FC when trying to launch google maps now though.
[Galaxy S 5 Android Development (Snapdragon)] Bredal22:
The same Google Maps FC's here

---------- Post added at 04:45 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:35 PM ----------

Hey lexsupa, there is no good reason. Just that I'm on my work phone that has to be working at all times (but i like changing roms) so i have to test every mod and script before using it. And then xtrrstolite is my base. So no smart dev tricks here, sorry.
[Galaxy S 5 Android Development (Snapdragon)] xXx:
Confirmed, I experience the fc as well. I will fix it but I'm currently on the road so it might take some time.
[Galaxy S 5 Android Development (Snapdragon)] f1ux:
Not sure if this helps , but I just wiped my phone, installed xtrestolite

Then installed the patched Google services with wakelock fix

Then ran your script to ONLY remove touchwiz launcher & install Nova.

Did you install the patched Google services by any chance? Maybe that's the culprit!

Edit: dirty flashed xtrestolite again, then ran cleaner again to ONLY remove touchwiz launcher and add Nova.

Now maps works, so I think it was the patched Google services at fault!

Edit2:

suggestion

With the option to remove touchwiz launcher, maybe remove badgeprovider at the same time as I think it's of no use without tw launcher.

no experience yet on this model but the rom base should be pretty the same and therefore it should work fine. Please make sure that you perform a Nandroid backup first.

New Version 5.5 is available for Download

https://mega.co.nz/#!9cBDEB4Y!4qmE-PZVjG9_PkSqEuJDveb0eGfJQ3wme5xL3gGw07o

Here are the changes:

New Options – If you use S6 type roms from ambasadii or scholz123 you have several new cleaning options in the “Optional Cleaning – Menu” under section “S6 Rom Specials”.

Bug Fix – Stock File Manager was always cleaned independent from selection.

Bug Fix – FC of Google Maps when “Sound Alive Service” was cleaned.

Currently I can't upload anything to androidfilehost.com. Therefore I started to create a Mega account which I will use as a mirror now. For now, only Mega download is working.
[Galaxy S 5 Android Development (Snapdragon)] f1ux:
Just wanted to say 5.5 is working great!

Many thanks for your hard work.

Im running it with Ambasadii Bod3, extreme clean. (Not the one with s6 mods)

Seems to be as close to xrestolite as possible, but with a newer ROM base!
[Galaxy S 5 Android Development (Snapdragon)] xXx:
I'm happy to hear that. That's exactly what I developed the cleaner for. You can choose any rom which is closest to your base requirements and apply your personal debloat level.

Next I write a best practise guide how to setup the phone in a way that you can switch between different roms with minimum time investment and without the need to always start all over again from scratch with a clean rom installation. I practise this since several months now and everything works as intended.
[Galaxy S 5 Android Development (Snapdragon)] xXx:
Androidfilehost fixed the upload issue. Here you can download v5.5 on androidfilehost:

Can I use this version with S6 ported Rom Darklord for s6?
[Galaxy S 5 Android Development (Snapdragon)] xXx:
I didn't check for Darklord yet. But basically yes. I may happen that you try to clean one of the apps im the S6 app section and it don't remove it. That's because this is only working with Zombie and Ambasadii S6 type roms.

Anyway, you can use it and on the weekend I will update the cleaner to fully support Darklord as well.

Thanks for the quick reply.
