About:
Rom Cleaner is a little tool to clean ClockworkMod ROMs in ZIP format. It should work with every Rom file, but currently it is only tested with Android Revolution HD and LeeDroid
You can also add aps directly into your Rom. (Experimental!)
How to use:
Download RC.zip at the bottom of this post and unzip it on your PC. Run RomCleaner.exe, select your Rom, select the apps you don't want and click on Customize!. That's it Linux Users: Open a terminal and run install.sh in the RomCleaner directory. This will install p7zip. Then run RomCleaner_Linux
What are definition files?
Definition files are stored in app\remove. For each app there is on definition file in a very simple structured INI format. In this files is the name of the app, a short description and a list of files that belong to the app. Everybody can add his own definition files. I would be very grateful if this definition files could then be posted here so that they can be included into the next release
