I installed it after i flashed rom without rebooting and it seems to be working now....Are all your apk for the Galaxy GT-N8013 in the script as well? If not could you make it compatible with the GTN8013 corresponding with the apps

This is an aroma installer issue. And as far as I know older recoverys works better with aroma for this device.
Some users has extreme problems and some don't.

I have no idea what a GT-N8013 is ;)

But you can edit your ROMCleaner_user.txt to remove what ever you like...

Just add the appname.apk (case sensitive) to the _user.txt.

If the script is edited would I have to completely start over as in flashing the rome and then run the new script?

Hello, Mate.

This is not a MOD per se to tweak your ROM, but more of the cleaner of bloatwares and apps that you never need at all. AND only upon install of a custom ROM. May I ask, did you not accidentally posted on a wrong forum page?

You need to have a custom recovery installed.

ClockworkModRecovery
or twrp.


Read the OP... :)


Root, yes. CWM yes however I am not sure of TWRP.

Root shouldn't be needed while in recovery.

I have removed apps and restored user apps including settings and home screen on a stock HTC firmware but with only cwm installed. All went fine ;):cool:

No idea why that happens for you. Did you restore data for those apps?

Maybe fix permissions in recovery will help or clearing data for each app that gives FC.

Or those specific apps must be installed and not just copied to /data/app.

Have a look in Internal/external sdcard/ROMCleaner/Backup/data/app if Google Maps and Navitel is in there at all.

Google Maps usually comes with the ROM as default, unless it isn't inside your original zip file. Am I right?

I just ran the Backup Tool, and I confirm Google maps isn't inside.

Mmm... As far as I have used ROM cleaner, it doesn't include any apps. You have to run the backup first before you run the ROM cleaner if you want all your apps to be installed after the cleaner.

Correct. When selecting ROMCleaner in fact there is another option to choose if u want to restore from your backups - Wi-Fi, apps, accounts.

Backup Tool that comes with ROMCleaner, that u need to run only in recovery mode.

No reason why it shouldn't work if you meet the requirements in OP. Nothing to bork anyway, but just make sure you have a nand or the original Rom to flash ;)

    Guide & Info

    Guide For ROM Cleaner and Additional Tools!

    We did make an effort to make it as clear as possible on each AROMA screen. However it's always nice to know what the scripts do and when to use them...


    So let's start!


    Video review by TheSmokingAndroid


    Main Menu

    In our main menu you will find:

    * Backup Tool
    * ROM Cleaner
    --- ROM Cleaner
    --- Skip cleaning step
    * Additional Scripts
    --- Settings Restorer
    --- Setup Wizard Remover
    --- Apps & Mods Installer
    --- Run all scripts in one GO!
    * Logs collection
    * Advanced Power Menu​



    Backup Tool

    Will backup:

    -*- Applications (Not app data)
    -*- Accounts (Settings - Accounts)
    -*- Bluetooth pairings
    -*- TocuhWiz launcher settings (and 3rd party widgets)
    -*- Mail accounts (including Inbox)
    -*- WiFi keys

    Important Note: Use this before flashing a new ROM flash with full wipe

    How to apply:

    --- Open ROM Cleaner AROMA and press "Backup Tool"
    --- When done, press "Power Menu" and "Exit" .... or whatever you want...​



    ROM Cleaner


    Flashing procedure for pure ROM Cleaner users!

    -*- Flash a ROM with full wipe
    -*- Start ROM Cleaner AROMA and pick "ROM Cleaner"
    -*- Pick "ROM Cleaner" script, press Next
    -*- Next menu is optional (should be pretty clear)
    -*- Press Next again and wait until ROM Cleaner is done
    -*- Press Reboot and use your phone like normal

    Skip cleaning step

    If you use this option, nothing will be removed and you will still be able to restore your apps.​



    Additional Scripts

    Important Note: Use this menu only after a full boot!

    * Settings Restorer > This script will restore data already saved with Backup Tool
    * Setup Wizard Remover > This script will remove the Setup Wizard
    * Apps & Mods Installer > This is a batch install script. Apps, mods, files in /extSDcard/ROMCleaner/SecondBoot will be installed when you use this script
    * Run All scripts in one GO! > This is a batch install for all scripts in this menu​



    Logs Collection

    Use this option when we request logs from you.

    This script will collect all needed logs + "*user.txt" and create "RC_LogCollector.tar" in ROMCleaner folder. Upload this file and send it to us on XDA or IRC.​



    Advanced Power Menu

    In this menu you will find the following options:

    * Reboot your device
    * Exit to Recovery
    * Enable Mobile Network​



    How To Edit Your Personal User.txt

    Steps you need to do:

    --- Windows users, download Notepad++ and install it.
    --- Download "ROMCleaner_user.txt"
    --- Open the text file with Notepad++

    In the text file you will find two columns with app names and a description in this guide we use AdobeReader.apk as an example.


    To Remove a file with ROMCleaner

    Code:
    AdobeReader.apk         Adobe Reader PDF reader

    In the case above "AdobeReader.apk" will be removed.


    To keep a file with ROMCleaner If you decide to keep it, add a "#" at the beginning of the line:
    Code:
    [COLOR=Red]#[/COLOR]AdobeReader.apk         Adobe Reader PDF reader


    Let's say we are done with the edits. To continue just complete next list:

    --- Press the "X" in the upper right corner of the screen to save the changes.
    --- Copy the file onto your extSDcard. The file must be located in "/internal or external sdcard/ROMCleaner" folder.

    Now ROM Cleaner script will always read that file!​



    Easy?
    Yes? Good because this is and should be easy ;)

    thanks! it seems to be very usefull :D

    If you ask me, then yes it's very useful :D :p

    I hope you will like it as well. Please leave feedback after you have tried it ;)

    I ran twice in order to understand all of its features. I love the backup tool with third party applications. ..due to my tons of widget. ..and home screen settings. Actually I do not have any bloatware so the cleaner runs and doesn't clean anything of course, but it is fully customizable and when I will Flash next rom I will use your cleaner for sure.
    It is very fast!

    Inviato dal mio GT-N7100 con Tapatalk 2

    Thanks for your feedback!

    The more you understand about it, the more you will like it ;)
    Because we really put a lot of stuff in there that are very useful as long you use it as we designed it to be used.

    The cleaner part takes only 1sec no matter if you remove 1 app or 300 apps :D

    BTW, did you look at the video review?
