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.

Edit it with Notepad or another text file editor!

If you're deleting Swype may as well delete 'libSwypecore.so' in /system/lib

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 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!)
GoogleTalk: http://db.tt/waeB0yuJ
Email: http://db.tt/rJ4R5xbd
Calculator: http://db.tt/sYd5V5o6
Market(Phonesky): http://db.tt/H2T9fhVz
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.
Remember to check that permissions are set.

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!

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!
Until we have working roms for our Tab S devices there is always Xposed Framework to give us some added functionality. But there are so many and I haven't a clue what most of them do.
What are some of the best tweaks we should go for?
1) As I've mentioned before, I like disabling DVFS using Wanam. This eliminates Samsung CPU throttling.
2) I like adding the date to notification bar.
3) Getting rid of the little up and down wifi arrows cleans things up a bit.
OK, any more suggestions, especially the more esoteric non-obvious performance boosters? With your suggestion please give a brief description of what it does.
Thanks in advance
** Don't forget after installing a module that you still need to enable it in Modules. The downloadable modules can be found in the Versions Tab of the Downloads section. After enabling reboot.
Xprivacy, crappalinks, youtube adaway, PlayPermissionXposed are good start.
Wanam xposed as some stuffs too like enable write permission on sdcard without editing system files or adding advanced reboot.

Thanks! Good stuff there. Will check them out. Can you explain briefly what they do?
Xprivacy : best mod ever for xposed framework, but can be confusing at the beginning. You are able to block or allow each information requested by apps by sending fake data to them instead of blocking access, avoiding crash.
Example : a wallpaper app don't need my google account or access to my contacts data...
Crappalinks : remove tracking redirection links and give real true link.
Youtube adaway : don't need to explain.
PlayPermissionXposed : restore old playstore authorization menu with all acces requested by apps and not simplified bull****...
Wanam Xposed : Samsung dedicated module with lot of options/tweaks.
Appreciate it. I'm all out of thank yous for the day or I'd give you one.
Here's a nice list:

OK, here are the ones I am running so far. Nothing has exploded.

I don't know why but HandleExternalStorage and Wanam wasn't able to set sd card writable.. I had to use sd kitkat fixer from the playstore...
Same here Orphee..

How to install xposed?
I installed wanam xposed and downloaded the xposed installer, yet when I pressed "install framework" -> "install/update" it said
Copying Xposed-Disabler-Recovery.zip...
Could not extract Xposed-Disabler-Recovery.zip
As far as I can tell this is because of knox? Anyone know how to get past this?
Thanks in advance.
Are you rooted, if yes install SuperSU from the playstore ? if no, Install TWRP recovery with odin, flash SuperSU zip available on xda.
SuperSU can disable knox.

*To uninstall system apps, you must use a root file explorer, delete the apk of the application you want to replace in /system/apps, reboot and uninstall through settings the apps
Unable to install any of the app, receive error "parse error - there was a problem while parsing the package" I think this apps are unsupported.....
Thanks. They all are working. Just uninstall old apps before.
I was also trying to use the apps - besides the messenger app (note its not hangouts! - its the new sms application). the other apps don`t work for me. The installer complains that another application is already installed.

also some of these apps require you to be using ART instead of dalvik or the app will crash

This tool installs Google Apps on Windows 10 Mobile.
There are still some issues (such as make GMS work) because MS is good to make modder's life harder, so this isn't fully functional and may not work..
INSTALLATION
Requirements:
IPOverUSBSvc installed
Open a CMD as Admin on that folder, then open installer.bat and follow instructions on screen.
UNINSTALL THE TOOL
Go to C:\Data\Users\DefApps\APPDATA\Local\Aow\data\local\tmp and remove all folders and files
After that, go up and go to "app" folder
