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

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:

[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 ​

Well, I think I have to blame time and HTC Sense 4.0 for the delay

Hi thanks for the work. This tool sounds very interesting and would like to try it out. Does this mean I do not need to be rooted or have the s-off to try this? Apologies for the noobish questions. Still learning and all new coming from the s2 forums

 

[verynuclear]

I tried v.1.0 with ARHD 1.2 and after flashing it I got (Nothing was removed by Rom cleaner.
When the Rom first boot I found that some apps have gone and other not.
Here are the apps that still installed:

Facebook
Twitter
Google maps
Calculator

Thanks man

Edit:

Requirements: 4EXT or CWM Recovery
Deodexed ROM. We are working on a version that will handle *.odex files as well.

If you use a Stock ROM that means you have odexed ROM.
ROM Cleaner will only remove apk files and not odex files at the moment.

You need a custom recovery installed so you will be able to flash ROM Cleaner.

I do recommend you to flash a custom ROM before using any of these tools.

If that is true, I would like to have some logs from you located in /sdcard/ROMCleaner/logs, make a zip of all logs and upload them here.

But most likely this happened.
The apps you are mentioning is not removed by default ROM Cleaner, you need to download ROMCleaner_user.txt and remove "#" in front of those apps, and then just make sure you have copied ROMCleaner_user.txt to /sdcard/ROMCleaner before you flash ROM Cleaner v1.0

Just let me know if you encounter any issues.

You should never open the zip, this might end up in many strange issues. And we don't support that kind of edits since we can't control the outcome and it makes it much harder to track issues etc etc

For example if you by any chance is using wrong text editor (notepad++ is recommended) you might lose unix code and ROM Cleaner script won't be able to read the txt file.
How ever if you lose unix on ROMCleaner_user.txt the script will convert it to unix again.

ROMCleaner_user.txt is a big part of the script idea, and you will understand it better when we start to push updates.

Sorry if my post was complex

Every donation is much appreciated!!
