Hi,

It doesn't look like there had been anyone using HTC J One (M7_WLJ or HTL22) trying this script before (did a search within this thread). Will this work on the Japanese variant of HTC One? It has the same specs as M7 International, except that it has SD card slot and removable alumium back cover.

Oops! It looks like there are several editions of ROM Cleaner for HTC devices, am I correct? I saw the version that Angelo posted above it 4.0. On the HTC One M7 thread, its version is 2.2.

First of all, thanks! Awesome job! I went with ROM Cleaner No-Sense but I used the AOSP lockscreen but what if I want so change to HTC lockscreen? Should I backup my launcher first (mine would be Appex Launcher) and the re-do the lockscreen? Big thanks!

Also, I just noticed that this is supposed to be for HTC One X but I used it on my One X+, which is sense 5. At first it said failed after the whole installation process but I reflashed it and it said successful. Just thought I'd let you know it also works on the One X+.

If you are on no-sense, you can change easily from aosp to Sense lockscreen using the option in the menu of ROMCleaner. Just run ROMCleaner again in recovery, and the option will appear in the menu.
No need to fully flash ROMCleaner again tho, just use the lockscreen and restart your phone.
Apex won't be changed in any way, but a backup can do no harm.

I tried looking for the option to change from AOSP to Sense lockscreen and no lock. I only see the option to flash sense or no-sense and to chooose my launcher. No lockscreen option. Am I doing it wrong? Thanks.

Go to "Additional Scripts".

Edit: This menu will give you the option to enable HTC lock screen again, if you previously enabled aosp lock screen in the no-sense options...

Hi,

I'm on No-Sense setup and I use the AOSP lockscreen. How can I customize it? Add widget, panel and others?
 
I would like to be able to port this or copy it somehow to make a version of it for use on my nexus 6 with your permission of course..... I'm even kind of interested since it works on Aosp roms if it would work as is on my Nexus... I love the extra features that allow you to backup gmail accounts, Wi-Fi passwords and even installed apps... I used this frequently on my HTC One M8

    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!



    Main Menu

    In our main menu you will find:

    * Backup Tool
    * ROM Cleaner
    --- ROM Cleaner (Sense)
    --- ROM Cleaner (NO-Sense)
    --- 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
    -*- HTC Sense launcher settings (and 3rd party widgets)
    -*- HTC 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 "Sense" or "NO-Sense" script, press Next
    -*- "NO-Sense" users will get a launcher menu and the option to use HTC lockscreen or AOSP lockscreen
    -*- 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
    * HTC Setup Wizard Remover > This script will remove the HTC Setup Wizard. IT's pointless to have once your phone is set up
    * Apps & Mods Installer > This is a batch install script. Apps, mods, files in /sdcard/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
    * Reboot to Bootloader
    * 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" or "NO-Sense_user.txt" from the firstpost
    --- 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 sdcard. The file must be located in "/sdcard/ROMCleaner" folder.

    Now ROM Cleaner script will always read that file!​



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