I am using v 0.9.0.0 on a Xperia Ray and the system cleaner is giving me a headache :(

After cleaning up the \system\apps from 37 packages - still all is fine but none of these removed applications show up in the "removed from device" section. They are all stored in the apps_saved folder but how can I get them back to the \system\apps ?

Right click delivers a list of items from \clean\customlist.properties but nothing happens if I add these. None of these is in my folders, so not surprised here. I then created a list of files from the apps_saved folder, stored it as customlist.properties, got the expected selection with right-click->add but still nothing happened after selection.

I had searched this thread for relevant key-words ("apps_saved") and also consulted the github repository but I have found nothing describing the process of removing/restoring apps from/to the \system\apps folder.

All should be pretty obvious, but it simply does not work as expected for me.
[Sony Cross-Device General] Androxyde:
I am reworking this feature. I think I have some issues. I will release an update soon. I found at least one issue with odexed system apps (ones with both .apk and .odex)
[Sony Cross-Device General] tobbbie:
My Xperia Ray ICS stock ROM has no odex. There are only .apk and the normal dex-cache.

So how is it supposed to work?

I was assuming the following:

Remove from \system\app:

select in upper left listbox

push arrow -> in upper listbox pair: items move to the "to be removed" listbox

push ok

remove will be done from device, apps are backed up in apps_saved on the PC, device reboots

next time I call that panel I will see the removed apps in the lower left listbox

Restore to \system\app:

select in lower left listbox

push arrow -> in lower listbox pair: items move to the "to be installed" listbox

push ok

apps will be restored to \system\app on the device, device reboots

what happens to the ones in apps_saved on the PC now?

next time I call that panel I will see the restored apps again in the upper left listbox

Both activities above can be mixed (remove/restore) and will be executed once pushing the "OK". To avoid space problems on the \system partition, you best first remove and then restore :)

More questions:

If I needed to manage more than one device, how could I select the different ones? So far I see only one hierarchy below custom. So probably it would be good to create one dedicated directory per managed device (by ID, by Label or whatever).

For now I will just install the .apk and then use link2SD "convert to System app". I noticed that removing the elements from the \system folder does not really bring me a benefit as the \data partition is not growing accordingly. For making the bloatware shut up and sit silent in the corner I will better use the "Freeze" feature. There seems to be different logic to achieve this, but if package manager is utilized for that job (Link2SD does this) result is fine for me - and I can get back using them without external tooling.

SIN editor broken after 0.9.0.0

SIN editor, or to be precise "dump data" is broken in some of the version above 0.9.0.0. I just tried 0.9.3.0 and 0.9.5.0 and it doesn't work. In stead of ~300MB file I get ~1MB file.

I'm not sure if dump header is giving right file(not 100% but I think header is ok), but I'm sure dump data is not working.
[Sony Cross-Device General] Androxyde:

can someone help me.. i try to install flashtool on my friend pc.. when connect the phone.. that above quote appears.... how to solve this please... i had search many times but cant get the real way to solve it... :(
[Sony Cross-Device General] Androxyde:
this error means the files you are trying to flash are not made for the phone you are flashing them to.

On X10, flashing a custom kernel to a phone where bootloader is not unlocked can lead to this error.
[Sony Cross-Device General] abdozzahra:
i tried to relock bootloader and lost my signal

the phone search for signal and find it but says "can't connect to network"

[Sony Cross-Device General] tobbbie:
Though the ROM Cleaner has been reworked, it still is a riddle to me - coming from a pre device specific setup.

Can you explain how the tool is supposed to work?

I noticed that apps go to \apps_saved\<device-name> when removed.

When restarting and getting back, the removed ones (from apps_saved) get listed in the "to be installed" and not in the "available for installation" - why that?!

I had to manually add all the earlier removed ones to the files clean\<device-name>\safelistdefault-properties and <device-name>list.properites with respective syntax on "unsafe/safe" or "desciption".

note that here you have a duplicate setting for <device-name> in the path and the filennames

I also noticed that some apps are listed in "red" (top left) and one (which I moved out and back in for testing) in plain black. None of the entries in the clean\ directory gives a hint - so safe/unsafe is unchanged - why that?

Another notice is that bottom right items are listed in red when they come from the apps\<device-name> - and they are not also present in apps_saved. How is this linked to the entries in the "..customlist.properties"?

So clearly it is better than before - I just cannot guess the intentions yet...
[Sony Cross-Device General] Androxyde:
When you run the cleaner, the default profile is loaded. Every app are unsafe to be removed by default.

Once you built your list of apps to remove, then you can save your profile.

Now suppose you reflash your device, meaning all system apps will be reinstalled on the device. You run the cleaner and load the saved profile. All list will be preloaded.

If you uninstall apps, without saving your profile, when you will rerun the cleaner. removed apps will be in the to be installed list, because by default all those apps are set as unsafe to be removed. So the cleaner advices you to reinstall them :)
[Sony Cross-Device General] Abu-7abash:
I've tried downloading this two times, every time using a different mirror and yet when I run it up I end up with the same error in the screenshot. I've also tried disabling my antivirus, still the same.

EDIT: Nevermind, the 3rd mirror download worked. Will be flashing in a bit and report back hopefully.
[Sony Cross-Device General] tobbbie:
...that is nice, but how can I get my already safely removed files in the \apps_saved\.. folder to the "safe" list now that all is done without the tool working right before?

Do they have to be marked "safe" in the "safelistdefault.properties" (I guess not)? Now I see (after saving a profile):

You get a safelist<profile-name>.properties and when selecting it things are as expected.

Thanks for guiding my thoughts...

Neither mirror works to download flashtool for me on ie9 or Google Chrome (or safari or GC on the mac either)

v1.6 generic firmware

and a X10i_3.0.1.G.0.75_CUST-UK GENERIC 1235-7379

Gets the same error.

And no, I don't have a recovery. Infact it was completely on stock, never rooted, never unlocked, I don't even remember enabling the USB debugging thing.

Had to flash when phone was not turning on and green led flash thing started happening. Back then the SEUS can detect the phone and ca download the firmware but fails as soon as it starts flashing. So I used the Flashtool and was getting errors like this
