Followed your instructions and Have to say it get's rid of everything i wanted straight away. When i booted up the deivce first time i looked into the apps menu and i was like jesus how does it know what to get rid off. I had about 3 pages of apps including some i downloaded. And after i ran rom cleaner its down to one and a half. Its pretty good i must say.

One thing is the lockscreen is like cm9. But how i do i get more options on it instead of camera and unlock. I thought it was the apex launcher doing it at first but i swithced to nova and it still does. it.

You can choose not to remove HTC lockscreen:

#  HTC Lockscreen 
#  (If you wish to keep the HTC lockscreen make sure you comment out the 3 apks below here
#   known issues with having HTC Lockscreens removed is that you need to unlock before you can pickup a incoming call)
#
# HtcLockScreen.apk                                   HTC LockScreen
# Idlescreen_Base.apk                                 HTC LockScreen
# idlescreen_shortcut.apk                            Shortcuts on HTC LockScreen

but to prevent a reflash:

1. extract the 3 .apks from the rom
2. Copy them to /system/app
3. set permissons to rw-r--r--

That should do it!

PS: nice to see the ROMCleaner link in your sig!

I actually like the lockscreen just wandering if there is any way to add shortcuts to it.

PS: Thought it would be good to share the Romcleaner to its a good script..

So you liked it huh?

Well the AOSP lockscreen comes from APEX Launcher. You have to uninstall it to get rid of that lockscreen...

There is a few lockscreen apps available at Google Play. Never tried any of them but it might be possible to create the ultimate lockscreen

And if you restore HTC Lockscreen, shortcuts will only work if you also restore HTC Launcher (Rosie.apk)
I will have a test with ROM Cleaner NO-Sense someday if I get time
I do prefer to keep Sense so I use the regular ROM Cleaner with my own edited ROMCleaner_user.txt (230MB removed from my One X ROM )

How do you find out how much was removed. Or just a before and after. Might flash it again with sense

Go to /sdcard/ROMCleaner/Logs and open ROMCleaner_recovery.log
In it you will find:

/dev/block/mmcblk0p4    568.9M    235.9M    333.0M  41% /system

Backgrounds gone ?

---

Hi, just wondering if anyone has the same problem, when i use this tool it ALWAYS deletes the static htc backgrounds (the live-ones stay untouched)

Of coarse i've tried adjusting the user-text.

I found that even if there are hashess in front of everything in the whole file, it still deletes the backgrounds, and i just dont want that to happen.

I went a step further, and even deleted all text todo with apps and backgrounds and it still happens, can the developer please tell me how to stop this from happening ?
Thanks for the great tool !

Hi there Lacuna666,

The tool is designed to delete only the things mentioned in the default ROMcleaner.txt or - if you use it - the ROMCLeaner_user.txt. By default the wallpapers will be removed - yes!

#   All Wallpapers, Scene Previews, Bookmark Thumbnails.
#
"/system/etc/livewallpaperpreviewimage/*.jpg"
"/system/customize/resource/*.jpg"
#"/system/customize/resource/scenes_picker_*.png"  < This will remove all scene previews

Now to keep wallpapers just add the #-sign to the line, or delete this line eventhough the deleting it is not recommended. So it should look like this (added the red #-sign):

#   All Wallpapers, Scene Previews, Bookmark Thumbnails.
#
"/system/etc/livewallpaperpreviewimage/*.jpg"
#"/system/customize/resource/*.jpg"
#"/system/customize/resource/scenes_picker_*.png"  < This will remove all scene previews

And make sure the ROMCleaner_user.txt is in the right folder (/sdcard/ROMCleaner) !!

While flashing Romcleaner, watch the screen and you can see if the ROMCleaner_user.txt is being used. If you don't get that confirmation, the user.txt isn't named correctly or it isn't present in the folder.

After flashing check if the .JPG files are in the folder after flashing (/system/customize/resources). All wallpapers should be present.

If you've done this correctly, there is no way Romcleaner has removed the wallpapers. So if you have done these steps and it doesn't work out for you, please report back. (then I will ask you kindly if you can upload te log-files from the /sdcard/Romcleaner/logs )

ps check if the rom has the wallpapers in the zip-file. Just to be sure

Just flashed this again but just using the Rom cleaner. Sticking with the htc sense. I can confirm it works. But it does delete as much stuff as if you where to flash Rom cleaner with no sense. But still takes away the majority of the useless apps. Mainly it keeps the sat nav apps and facebook and twitter but they can easily removed.

Just uncomment facebook app etc in ROMCleaner_user.txt if you want.
