Version 3-1
I made a small CWM zip file to remove 56 system apps
that i don't use.
ONLY FOR SGS2
My script removes TouchWiz (I don't like it, it looks to much like the iphone)
The script will NOT make a backup before removing the apks
Will delete the odex files if present
Will install LauncherPro and ADW.Launcher
Will update the market apk to the latest version
just move the .zip to /sdcard
then update with ClockworkMod Recovery
-------------------------- this is the programs it removes --------------------------

Thank you very much, this will be very useful for me.
I usually remove the unwanted apks manually before flashing, this will save a lot of time and messing.
is it possible if i modify the script so i get to keep some apps, i.e. touchwiz?
That's what I'll be doing, I use gmail so il just delete that line from the script.
Sure you can...

Yes it is posible to select only the apps that you want to remove, but you have to be careful as some apps depend on others to work correctly.

Not so good...
Hello there,
Good idea regarding getting rid of some of the samsung bloatware but I dont think you should be deleting the 'googleframework.apk' as doing so will disable the google login and therefore access to your calender/email/tasks and the market will be disabled too...
It also deletes your google contacts and calendar sync, hmm serves me right for not checking exactly what is being deleted but I think you should post a warning on the first post !

Same for me It delete my google account apk (= market don't work) and messed up lots of stuff !!
It is easier to freeze the apps you don`t want in Root uninstaller
I will post a fix for the market

Just remove the Google apk's in your script and it will be done I think!
that's what I did and a little more (backup)
ADB is difficult for a lot of users, but the script is extremely useful!
Any other way to do it, like an apk perhaps???

Hi guys,
I've been changing roms on my phone lately and found out that there were some roms that have some apps on the rom that I don't want on it.
Or just the other way around, that it doesn't have some apps on it that I do want when I install a new rom.
After a while I got irritated by this and thought that I could create a program that could help people like me by adding/removing apps from the rom without diving into the rom zip file and maybe delete files that I shouldn't touch.
It's finally finished and it works, i've tested it on my HTC Desire multiple times now .
let me know what you think! And if you have any tips/questions check my website to get my e-mail address!
you can find more info/screenshots at beardman.eu
And here's the Download link!
Updates:
V1.5
- It's even bigger
- You are able to change your boot animation
- You are able to change sounds (Alarms, notifications, ringtones)
- Code optimization
V1.4
- It’s a bit bigger
- You can now maximize the window
- It no longer looks like it’s frozen when you unpack/save a rom
- Bar at the top of the program with the “settings”
- Progress bar on the bottom to show the unpacking/saving progress
- Report bug option for when you’ve found something that isn’t working!
- Code optimization
V1.3
- Extra tab for some settings which can be turned on and off as you wish
- Changelog is now included
- Check for update is included
- You can open the last rom as how you left it, no need to drop it on there again
- Automatically remove the safe to remove apps
- Automatically load previous edited rom
- Small bugfixes
V1.2
- Information is shown while extracting rom
- When saving rom, a location and file name is asked
- When right clicking on an item in the System list a pop-up will show which allows the user to mark an app as safe/unsafe to remove
- Items will be colored red or green or black depending on if they are safe or unsafe to remove
- Option to delete all the safe to remove items
V1.1
- Added compatible with update-script
Todo:
- Save state
- get your own list of apps to remove automatically
This program is supposed to work on most devices, if you've tested it and it works let me know!
Working devices:
- HTC Desire
is that like the rom kitchen?
but works on windows??
I don't really know, I haven't looked into it. The only thing you can change so far is adding and removing apps to the system and user partition. If you have a tip on what I should add, let me know!
Yes, it works on windows.
I haven't really dabbled in it much - but when i did it looked like you needed a linux VM/boot to play around with it much...
one thing that might be sensible is to try and code in a flag to identify apps that shouldn't be removed, because of fc etc.? even if they are just flagged as italics or something with a warning that they may cause fc if you don't have a default launcher or something
Well, it works on windows because you'll need to download a rom first, and then you open the rom zip file with this program and you'll just basically edit the files in the rom zip file!
Thanks, that's a good one! I'll look into it soon!
something like this is always good for getting rid of htc stocks (stock.apk and the widget too com.htc.stockwidget.apk - oh and plurk too nowadays)
and the apps that annoy you because you replace them instantly with an updated/different version from market, like quickoffice, the google apps that are out of date very quickly...
if you can make the app recommend ones not to remove, perhaps its worth highlighting ones that are recommended to remove too?
list could be provided quickly by people using the app as to which ones are commonly removed
edit: especially as you have a nice little log of apps that are removed:
17:50:21 - Removing app com.htc.linkedin.apk
17:50:21 - Removing app com.htc.PlurkWidget.apk
17:50:21 - Removing app com.htc.StockWidget.apk
17:50:21 - Removing app HtcPlurk.apk
17:50:21 - Removing app Quickoffice.apk
17:50:37 - Removing app Stock.apk

Think you might need a save as button or something though
also i am getting an error when saving:
17:51:15 - NOT saving rom
17:51:20 - NOT saving rom
17:51:31 - NOT saving rom
17:51:44 - NOT saving rom

was playing about with this rom if it helps: Cool-AceS-v7.zip
--- oh
and if it helps, it might be an idea to put a 'please wait' box popup or something when loading a rom - it took a minute or so when i tried it - and the app window hangs (as well as the explorer one I dragged the .zip from) - if a progress bar can be made that'd be better, but it'd be good just to tell people that it's doing something and not just crashing
Thanks for the error report, gonna look into it in a hour or so!
Think that's a good idea, i'll see what I can do for it .
-edit:
Found what the problem is, currently it only works when a rom is using the updater-script, not the update-script.
Think i'll be able to fix it this week .
Not to disappoint you or anything but what you can do with this program you can do it anyway. I was hoping for a proper full on program really, not just deleteing applications. I can do this anyway by opening rom.zip and deleteing the apps myself.
Probably a nice little app for newbies though.
Had another idea, to set your own list of defined apks to remove so you can have quick open and deletion (and addition) of apk list, and recompile of a zip.

indeed.
not everyone is familiar and happy to start ripping open zips and deleting stuff so for those people this will be a nice way to get stuff done without the fear of screwing it up
And you can add apps to the user data partition. If the rom hasn't included the data install in the updater-script that will be added !

when saving I got the error 'rom file is in use by another process' or similar
I guess that's because I opened it in the app and it is trying to save over the top?
'save as' feature would fix it
or is it cause the .zip is in the same folder as the .exe ?

yes it is.
a save as and/or an option to rename the .zip when recompiling the zip would be best probably - or an error that says 'do not have the .zip you want to edit in the same folder as the .exe'
Hi everyone,
----Attention to anyone on CM9 wanting to use this package-----
The zip seems to be causing some trouble with CM9 and some users have reported having boot loops after flashing (only on CM9)
If you are on CM9 and want to use the package please push the files across manually to where they need to be.
eg. /system/app and /system/etc read page 2 of this thread for detailed instructions.
**************Update 08/06/2012**************************
Another new update v1.2.1
fixed CWM package file...
added some permission xmls from touchwiz roms, and some libs etc. Hopefully will fix the problems some have been having again with the package.
Link updated below in downloads.
**********
Sorry to those of you who are on a CM based rom who weren't able to get the zip to work, I've updated the zip so it should work on CM, I am unable to test as I'm not on a CM rom so can someone please check it for me and let me know? Thanks.
Download link updated below.
ps. 100 downloads in less than a day!
***********************************************
I like many others have been working hard to port the SGS3's lovely widgets, but like everyone else, I haven't had any real luck ripping them, it seems samsung worked hard to make these ONLY available on the SGS3, but I guess it is just a matter of time until someone is able to port them.... hopefully
Until that time, I decided the next best thing would be to use the SGS2's ported accuweather widget and theme it with the nice images from the SGS3 widget
The background image is semi-transparent and changes depending on daytime/night time/cloudy weather
Have a look at screenshots
Daytime -
Night time -
Cloudy -
Installation
Copy zip file to phone
Then reboot into CWM and flash this file.
Clear dalvik cache
Reboot and enjoy
**If you already have either the digital clock widget or the sgs2 accuweather widgets installed, I would suggest to do a backup with titanium (just in case you want to revert to your old one) and then uninstall them**
Download
http://www.mediafire.com/download.php?r90ug8t219kd5sk
If you are happy with the app please hit the thanks button
And if you are really really happy feel free to buy me a beer / donate
In the zip, there is also a digital clock widget, with the number images from the SGS3 ported over too

1st post! welcome to XDA.
Can you tell me which rom are you using, maybe you can try to manually put the files in /system/app and set permissions to 0 , 0 then r-w, r, r,
Did the install with CWM say it was sucessful or not?
xxx posts, still does not work..
Cyanogenmod 9, also setted permissions..
Try here dude,it's a GSIII's weather widget and it works on my GS

However as you are on a Touchwiz based rom you might be able to get the real sgs3 widget to work from Twics latest 1.5.1 update see here it is a big pack which adds on a lot of content to your phone and changes icons etc. if you dont want all that stuff I can edit his CWM package if you want so it just includes the widgets...
Here is the link, http://www.mediafire.com/download.php?4dwy7yvy5ekhj7i
I edited out all the other stuff and you just have the new touchwiz launcher and the sgs3 widgets. Just put the file on your phone and flash with CWM, I can't guarantee it will work, but if you are on a samsung rom your chances are better than the rest of us I think, let me know how it goes.
New zip added to OP for those of you who are using CM roms, sorry the last zip seems to have only worked for some people, this one should work for everyone fingers crossed.

Yeah but... Touchwiz is... just touchwiz ^^'
It's atm not working for me too. I manually copied these two .apk Files to the /system/app Folder. After that i have wanted to change the permissions but i guess i failed that way...the permissions seem to be basically accurate... Help me guys please
I have just updated the file in the OP, version 1.2
now includes added touchwiz permission xml files and some lib files to system.
Hopefully with these added files it will work for everyone.
Let me know if it works

I use an app from the market called 'super manager' download that and go into the 4th tab to the file manager, once you are in the file manager choose 'back up level folder' up the top of the list, choose this until it takes you back to / (which is root) up the top you should see '/ (r/o)' then go to system, (when going into system it will ask you if you want to modify the file system, it will give you three options 1. do nothing 2. read only, and 3. r/w choose R/W. Now you are in the system folder of your phone, but be careful here because if you change something without knowing what you are doing you could have big problems.. ok now go into app folder and find your file, it will be near the bottom, it is called accuweather.com and under that it will say 'samsungwidget_weatherclock.apk'.
Once you have found the file choose the tick box next to it, now down the bottom of the screen you will see a list of icons; home, copy, cut, paste etc. now slide across to the right and you will see 'attribute' the icon has 777 on it.
Ok now where it says owner: set this number to 0
and where it says group: set this number to 0 as well.
under that you will have your permissions.
you can set owner to read, write, and execute
you can set group to read, write, and execute as well
and you can set other to read, write, and execute as well
it will also work if you just have owner as r-w-- group as r---- and other as r---- but try the above settings first to see if that works for you.
Now you just have to reboot and your widget should install properly
I will assume that you are on a rooted rom though?
And please try the new version 1.2 in the opening post too
Let me know if you have any troubles

Hi everybody,
OP UPDATED :
I just wanted to share these beautifull Inverted Black and Blue Apps. I'm only a messenger here, and had the kind authorisation and support of NCANDIANO to post these here for everybody. Please thank him, and most important, go show your love on ROMDROIDHACKS Forum, which is really great !
I didn't made these, so I'll take no credits. Please thank NCandiano, and ROMDROIDHACKS :
Original Thread here : http://romdroidhacks.com/forums/index.php?/topic/15-twistedx-theme/
The amazing TWISTED(X) Theme, made by NCANDIANO, will only work with KILLROMS , but as he's a real Gentleman, he made separate inverted apps only package, for us to use with all other Roms (should work on all J.B ROMS.)
What you'll find (Quoted from Twisted(X) Thread) :
Inverted (Black and Blue) GApps & Extras:
TwistedAppsOnly: http://db.tt/DX8nht1F (Contains for your pleasure: Updated Contacts, Calendar, Gmail, MMS, and Keyboard, Google Now, Email, Calculator, Google Talk, Phonesky(market))(This pack can be used with any 4.1.1 Roms. Google Now may have to be installed seperately, however.)
Flashable App-Zips: For your convenience. In the event you'd like to sample one or two flavors, this is the menu. Have at it.
Gmail: http://db.tt/1veBVDpY
Calendar: http://db.tt/nOxUy7b4
Contacts: http://db.tt/ezCjuaxC
MMS: http://db.tt/dXKhhsf2 (This is the Mms from KillRom, with QuickText)
Keyboard: http://db.tt/VbXsfbbI
GoogleNow: http://db.tt/jDLqcwM0 (You need to be on the updated Google Search from the market for this to work. See disclaimer above regarding if it doesn't take on the first flash!)

FOR BETTER AND NICER AND BIGGER SCREENSHOTS, WELL GO TO : http://romdroidhacks.com/forums/index.php?/topic/15-twistedx-theme/
I particularly advise using these apps with the wonderful RASBEANJELLY ROM, which is already all Black and Blue : http://fitsnugly.euroskank.com/?rom=rasbeanjelly&device=maguro
OR of course using the Original Theme with KILLROMS : http://romdroidhacks.com/forums/
Instructions for flashable zip : wipe cache and dalvik, flash and reboot.
If you want to revert to stock apps...then you'll have to flash again your Rom after having performed a cache and dalvik wipe.
Usual Disclamer : I'm not responsible for the damages that these could eventually cause to you phone. I suppose you're grown-up people, so you don't need me to hold your hand...blah, blah,.......BUT these apps should not harm your phone if you follow instructions...
Yay... Looking good.
Thanks for sharing.
Would it be possible for me to edit the text (e.g in Gmail) to white?

Has anyone managed to install the quicksearch inverted app? I tried both installing it as a normal apk file and moving it to system/app/ after removing velvet.apk (which should be the normal app) but in the first case I get an error message saying it's not a valid apk file and in the second case it doesn't pop up anywhere in my installed apps list after rebooting the device. Thank you.

That's strange....
Try this one and report ; you don't need to delete first the old one, just put the new one in system/app folder, it will override it, and the phone will reboot.

Oh, that's must be why then. I had moved out of the /system/app folder the original velvet.apk in my attempts. Now even if I move it back to the app folder, the stock google search app won't appear in the apps list no matter what. I guess I have to flash gapps again and then follow your procedure.

Yes, i think deleting first the file must "disturb" the system somehow...
Try with the Quicksearchbox in OP, and if it doesn't work, then try the Velvet one.
Instead of deleting or moving the original files. Just rename them. Then it's easy to undo the changes.

Has anyone managed to install the quicksearch inverted app? I tried both installing it as a normal apk file and moving it to system/app/ after removing velvet.apk (which should be the normal app) but in the first case I get an error message saying it's not a valid apk file and in the second case it doesn't pop up anywhere in my installed apps list after rebooting the device. Thank you.

Link me to the ROM you're running. That apk is a ***** with different ROMs mostly because its new. I'll build a working velvet for you later tonight and post by tomorrow.

I am using the 9th August release of rascarlo ROM (http://fitsnugly.euroskank.com/?rom=rasbeanjelly&device=maguro)! That's very kind of you!

Instead of deleting or moving the original files. Just rename them. Then it's easy to undo the changes.

You are right, I should've just renamed it. That was my bad, I thought that following the rootzwiki inverted gmail client installation procedure would work with those apk as well (mount /system for W permissions as root, delete /system/app/gmail.apk and then install the custom gmail.apk as a normal apk file).
For the record's sake, I've tried flashing latest gapps but I couldn't manage to make google search pop again. Maybe I should just do a clean flash of the rom again and try with the correct procedure.
What's strange is that i'm using too Rasjellybean 9th Aug , and i installed this without any issue.
So volapyk is right , this could be a permission problem.
Vaalen , have you tried the velvet apk too ?
And before reflashing default gapps , have you wipe cache and dalvik ?
Flashable Zips- Black Velvet Forthcoming
I added the apks into flashable zips. They're generic zip flashers they'll work in any recovery. Just wipe cache/dalvik and flash. It's not always just the name with the QSB apk, so I'm going to put together a Velvet.apk when I get home later, in the meantime these should make for easier installs for those who don't want to be messing around in the system/app folder. I'm PMing you the links because XDA won't let me link (not enough posts,) If you would update the OP I'd appreciate it.
**Black and blue UI, Framework, and Inverted Notifications Shade are only supported at the HIVE for Axiom ROMs at the moment.
Enjoy your JellyBean!
OP is updated with your flashable zip NCandiano, again a huge thank to you. As i said i just wanted to use these apps on other roms, and pulled these from your beautiful PZ Theme, and with your permission posted here.
But i didn't think you'd come and offer us even better ! That's great mate ! You deserve your own thread for your own work buddy ! I'm just a user who appreciate and share your work.
Flashed MMS apk and gmail apk. MMS apk works great except when you click a thread on the main screen the area you click doesn't highlight. Is this how it should be? Also gmail apk only screen that is dark is the main home screen. When you click to read an email it is white. Normal as well? Thanks!
Guys I have put together some script that will help you slim down your CM10/AOKP rom and since I was getting a lot of PM's for it I just decided to post it. Please note that this is what I personally remove and you may not want it removed. Feel free to download it and manipulate it using notepad ++. For those of you not to sure what to do post your questions and I will try and help you. For those of you who know how to manipulate updater-script Enjoy.....
Just wanna say thanks to whomever it was the originally started the script. I am not sure where I got it from but I thank you anyways...
Edit: added an English Only LatinIME apk file which cuts out a lot of bloat as well. 24megs to 5megs. Please use adb or root explorer to place in system/app. I will try and create a zip file later.
10/30 - Just added a Apps_Delete zip file that will remove Bloat and add your data/app or system/ files all at the same time. This is great if you want to restore everything in one shot like inverted gapps and your downloaded apk's.

Flash via recovery... tested with TWRP
Notepad ++ - http://notepad-plus-plus.org/download/v6.2.html
I assume we install this in recovery?
Also is there a way to script all the changes you make to rom settings from defaults?

Honestly this should work with stock or any Hercules based rom. Just set it up with what you want removed and go at it. I do not know exactly what is loaded up with PA so I do not know what to exactly remove. The names of certain files may differ. I would compare and make changes then go for it

More space for your apps to run which also allows your system to run smoother. I can probably chop another 15 megs just with fonts. So to answer your question it does some of both.
Hi nice program, I'm on CM10. I did the following.
Flashed M10 and gapps and rebooted to recovery
Flashed the CM10 script and rebooted phone.
I still have these wallpapers on the phone
Black Hole
Bubbles
Microbes
Phase Beam
Also I would like to remove
Messaging and Face unlock.
I downloaded an installed notepad ++ but got nowhere when I tried to edit the zip file.
I'm not a total noob but failed miserably here.
OK, I figured out how to add apps to be removed, but still have the above wallpapers on the phone.(deleting manually with RootBox)
I can't find the above wallpapers in system/app using root browser so I don't know how to get rid of them.
Also I have one app on the SD card that I want to install(appwidget picker) Is it possible to add to the script?
And I want to add a notification sound(from SD card)if possible.
I'm doing the above manually now but it would be really neat if I could include them in the script.
Can you give me some hints please

Yes it can all be added, first off setup a folder on the zip file for system/media/notification and add the file there. Secondly add a folder for system/app/ and then add app widget picker. Which by the way is not needed with Apex or Nova. PM me when you do that part I am away from PC and will finish off the rest when I get home

I added a Apps_Delete zip in the OP for those who want to have all there eggs in one basket. You can now deBloat and add your inverted apps or data apps at the same time. As always fully customizable to your needs. Just add folders as needed and flash. I have tested numerous times on TWRP without error..
If I want to make some changes to the script (remove some additional programs that I don't use and not delete some items that I want to keep) - how do I do that? Can I just edit the script in the zip file?
Thanks,

Apps run in /data this cleans up /system which is only used for the ROM, this does not create any more space for the regular user unless they start installing apps as system apps and remembering to move them to the system every time they are updated. Also, removing fonts and ringtones will not make a system run any smoother. While I am at it, I'd like to point out that there is 0 evidence that more free space = faster running phone. I'm not saying there is no point to this, as I like to remove things I won't use (though with freeze/disable, these days it is less important to actually uninstall them) and keep a tighter organization going on... just that the point is not those you are making. This will not make your phone fly, fart bacon, or magically delicious. But, it can remove clutter, provide comfort to obsessive compulsive people, and therefore has its place.
PS - don't start the argument that less apps = less running processes = more faster.... Android's memory management is pretty stellar, and it has been proven that free memory is just wasted memory, and cached background processes do not interfere with an applications ability to get as much of the memory as it demands for its tasks.

If I want to make some changes to the script (remove some additional programs that I don't use and not delete some items that I want to keep) - how do I do that? Can I just edit the script in the zip file?
Thanks,

Yes this is what the link for notepad+ is for to help you edit the updater-script file to your liking

Apps run in /data this cleans up /system which is only used for the ROM, this does not create any more space for the regular user unless they start installing apps as system apps and remembering to move them to the system every time they are updated. Also, removing fonts and ringtones will not make a system run any smoother. While I am at it, I'd like to point out that there is 0 evidence that more free space = faster running phone. I'm not saying there is no point to this, as I like to remove things I won't use (though with freeze/disable, these days it is less important to actually uninstall them) and keep a tighter organization going on... just that the point is not those you are making. This will not make your phone fly, fart bacon, or magically delicious. But, it can remove clutter, provide comfort to obsessive compulsive people, and therefore has its place.
PS - don't start the argument that less apps = less running processes = more faster.... Android's memory management is pretty stellar, and it has been proven that free memory is just wasted memory, and cached background processes do not interfere with an applications ability to get as much of the memory as it demands for its tasks.

ok no prob and thanx...
thanks hit:good:
are there any changes between cm10 and cm10.1 which should be in this script?
Very useful, Thanks
I am using android revolution hd 29.I am using this list to free more ram and make the rom more stable and run more smoothly and faster.
So here is my list from pictures taken from mobile go....Say thanks if you like.....
P.s My phones setup is very comfortable for me and its settings...It has not given me any fcs because i dont delete any .apk but i only add a dot in any app i dont want to use.
Question how does a list free more ram >>> Is something missing from the OP .
By adding a dot ??? it reads as you are adding a dot in front of each apk .
Confused .

Surely Titanium Backup Pro and freeze is an easier way .
Its far far cheaper than the Wondershare Mobile Go .
Same dot or even delete can be used by any root file manager .
Even the free Android Commander can be used .
List is useful anyway thank you for that .

Most of your apps listed here I've already deleted them and now my system rom is only 1.58 gb (was around 1.70 gb before) and around 738 mb free (was around 800+ mb before).
And as far as I can see you only rendered the files unreadable. If you really want to get rid of those bloatware (and free system resources) then just delete them permanently that way you'll be able to use the space those apk's have occupied.
And I think you're using a deodexed rom? I don't see any .odex files in there cause if you do you need to disable those too. So edit your first post and advice that it should only be used by deodexed rom users.

no i really dont want to do that because with some apk you can remove them easily with no fcs at all, but some others like logsprovider.apk (example), you will get fcs....its really better to just rename it.....the space you will accumulate from that is very small compared to what we are trying to acomplish (ram).

Well I deleted them all and I don't experience any fc's at all. Of course I just used rom cleaner to delete them all (and a bloatware remover script by AndiP) so it avoided those important apk's including that logsprovider apk.

The script is quite dangerous. It will really remove a lot. I suggest that you just use Rom cleaner by Patrics83 here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1827817

I still sent you the script. Just use it with caution as I'm not responsible if you delete the apk's you need. Make sure to do a nandroid backup to be safe.

thank you....i will give it a try....:good:
Please read up on rom cleaner in patrics83's thread.. you can add or remove system apps you want to safe or delete and it's actually quite easy.
But read the thread.if you are a newbie,then just flash the script and then push the apk's you need back into your system/app folder with a root explorer,set permissions and reboot..
Does this really work ? Will it cause me any trouble ? Is there an easy / safe way of doing this…
