Hi hackers!
IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENT!
WP7 Root Tools will soon be available for Mango!
More info HERE
With this tool you get root-access to parts of your WP7 device. The first release only contains a registry-editor. The file-explorer and certificate stores will follow.
This tool is in alpha stage. That means that it is not feature complete and it is not yet properly tested. This tool also provides you with high privileges with which you can alter low level settings and data on this device. All this may result in unexpected and undesired behaviour, which may ultimately damage your device. Use this tool with care and use it at your own risk. The developer of this tool cannot be hold responsible for any kind of damages, caused directly or indirectly by using this tool.
The current version of this tool can only be used on Samsung devices. A small part of the code uses Samsung-specific functionality. The performance of the tool may sometimes be slow. This is the result of the way access to the system is elevated. The goal is to make this tool device-independent and to elevate access more directly in the future, but that requires more research.
To install this you need a developer-unlocked Windows Phone 7 device. For questions about unlocking your device, please refer to the appropriate threads.
If you have bug-reports or feature-requests, please give a full description.
If you like this, hit the "Thanks" and/or "Donate to me" button.
Ciao,

Update 2011/04/06:
1. Some people requested a possibility for donations. I opened a paypal-account and the "Donate to me" should work. Thanks!
2. I get an overwhelming amount of comments and pm's. I can't answer them all right now. I will try to answer them a bit later. Sorry.
Thanks for all the support guys!
Update 2011/04/13: RELEASE "WP Root Tools 0.2 alpha"
Consider this an "interim build". Most changes are under the hood. I did a lot of refactoring for performance improvements and paving the way for the file-explorer. This version does not include the file-explorer just yet. That will be the next release. Fixes in the new 0.2 alpha version:
- Compatible with light theme.
- Navigate out of the app with back-button.
- Due to refactoring and better use of the exploit I gained a lot of performance. It is very fast compared to the previous version. Should also reduce battery drain significantly.
Update 2011/04/14: RELEASE "WP Root Tools 0.3 alpha"
Mightyhog found a regression bug in the 0.2 version. HKLM\Software\Microsoft\ was not listed properly. It is fixed in the 0.3 alpha version.
Update 2011/04/18: Info about known limitations
Yesterday I added some info here which, after more research, did not seem to be entirely correct. I misinterpreted some of the file-flags I was seeing. So here's some more detailed info about the know limitations of the current Registry Editor and the File Explorer which is coming soon. It seems that having TCB privileges still has some limitations on accessing the filesystem and the registry.
Some registry values can be changed but they are reset back to their default value after the device is restarted. One example of such value is:
HKLM\System\CurrentControlSet\Control\Power\Timeouts\BattUserIdle DWord 300
Possible explanations:
- The value is stored in a ROM registry hive. The change is made in RAM and after the device is restarted and RAM is cleared, the value is read from ROM.
- In the boot sequence of the device some xml-files which contain settings, are provisioned and overwrite changes made to the registry.
- A certain service or startup-program simply overwrites settings on system-startup.
I'm working on the File Explorer now. While testing I found out that eventhough I have TCB privileges some access is still restricted, because system-files are mapped directly in ROM. There are 2 file-flags that have impact on this:
- 0x0040 = FILE_ATTRIBUTE_INROM - This file is an OS file stored in ROM. Most files in the \Windows folder have this attribute. These files cannot be moved, modified, renamed or removed. Only a firmware update can change these files.
- 0x2000 = FILE_ATTRIBUTE_ROMMODULE - The exe- and dll-files in the \Windows folder also have this flag set. These ROM files are mapped directly into executable read-only address-space, rather than being first copied to RAM. They cannot even be accessed as a file. They can only be executed. And therefore these files also can't be copied to another location, ie. we don't even have read-access on these files. However, I may have found a way to access these files anyway. This needs a bit more research, but I hope that I can at least copy the files to a location where they can be accessed.
Everything else seems to be possible. Creating files in the \Windows folder is no problem. I hope to be able to release a version with a File Explorer soon. I guess it will be in about two weeks or something. Bear with me.
Update 2011/04/19: No luck on reading the ROM modules
I did more testing. I wanted to have at least read-access to the exe- and dll-files in the \Windows folder. As it is not possible to call CreateFile() on those files, I tried LoadLibrary(). That works. With CreateToolhelp32Snapshot(), Module32First() and Module32Next() I can enumerate the modules and find the one I loaded. I also get a baseaddress and size of the module. The problem is that I can't access that memory. I tried direct-access and I tried using ReadProcessMemory(). ReadProcessMemory() returns "Incorrect parameter" as soon as I try to access the ROM memory. Also using VirtualProctect() to unlock the memory gives me "Incorrect parameter" all the time. So it seems we won't have read-access to the exe- and dll-files in the \Windows folder for now. I will now concentrate on other functionality for the File Browser. I will try to get access to the ROM modules later on.
Update 2011/06/14: RELEASE "WP Root Tools 0.4 alpha"
It has taken me a long time, here's a new release, finally. Actually this release is not very useful yet, because the file-explorer is read-only so far. The "Cut / Copy / Paste / Delete / Rename" will follow soon. The browsing part has been extremely difficult. The main problem was the performance. Opening a folder could take up to 4 minutes. Ouch! Through a combination of multi-threading techniques, caching and combining multiple exploits I finally got this to a stable solution where browsing can be done in quite an acceptable way. The write actions don't have these performance issues, because it is not a real problem when copying a file will take a few seconds more or less. I already started on implementing this. This release also has a few minor fixes to the Registry editor, but no new functionality. I also did a lot of testing on the certificate stores. I got full read / write access to all the stores, but none of that is implemented in the WP7 Root Tools yet. That will be next.
Update 2011/06/24: RELEASE "WP Root Tools 0.5 alpha"
In this version I implemented the basic file-operations and a certificate installer.
You might wonder why I created a certificate installer, because it is already possible to add certificates. When you email a certificate to yourself and tap that attachment, WP7 will install it. But if you install like this, the certificate will always be installed in the "Root" certificate store. With my certificate installer you can also install in "CA", "My" and "Code Integrity" stores. This may be very useful for hacking attempts. You can install a certificate by browsing to the ".cer" file and tap it. The possibilities for getting a certificate file on your phone will follow below. If you start installing certificates on your phone you should consider making backups in advance. I once experienced Zune going totally bezerk after installing certs. Zune took 100% and lost connection with the phone all the time. Everything was back to normal when I deleted the certs. In this version there is no view on the certificate stores available yet. In a future version you will be able to view the contents of all the certificate store and also uninstall certificates from there.
I specifically mentioned that this version has basic file-operations, because not everything is implemented. This is what you can do:
- Cut / Copy / Paste / Delete / Rename single files
- Delete empty folders
- Create new folders
This is what you can't do (will be possible in later versions):
- Cut / Copy / Paste multiple files or entire folders
- Delete folders with content
- Rename folders
Last, but not least: I fixed some performance issues. Mainly memory-leaks in native code and in COM interop. I'm not sure if I got all leaks now, because it's not easy to do native C++ without debugger and profiler. But improvement is clearly noticeable.
This version does not have a connection with the PC. So it is not possible to use WP7 Root Tools to transfer files between the phone and the PC. You can however, use other tools to get files onto your phone and then use WP7 Root Tools to move the files to the desired location. WP7 Root Tools has write access on every folder of your phone.
How to transfer files to your phone:
Mail the file to yourself. Use your phone to go to your mailbox (not webmail). The attachment will be downloaded in the background. Then use WP7 Root Tools to navigate to \Application Data\Volatile\EmailAttachments\Attachments(number). You have to look which attachment is the one you want. The filename may be changed. The extension is the same.
Install Davux' webserver on your phone. Configure a password in that webserver. The IP of the phone is visible in the webserver app. Browse to the phone like this: http://192.168.1.2/IsolatedStorage using the IP of the phone. Upload a file to the phone. Open WP7 Root Tools 0.5 alpha. Navigate to this folder: \Applications\Data\9BFACECD-C655-4E5B-B024-1E6C2A7456AC\Data\IsolatedStore\. There's your file. You can copy it to another location if you want.
Use the Zune storage hack, described here and here. If you copied the files to your phone in this way, they will be located at \My Documents\Zune\Content in one of the subfolders. Again, the files here are renamed. You have to find the file you want and then rename it.
Have fun!

so what you are saying is you have been able to get read/write access to the file system on the focus? or is that something you just "hope" to add later?
EDIT: I'm sorry if that came off rude, I don't mean it to be I'm just excited about the idea of file system access!
very nice tool, needed a good registry editor for the samsung focus and this is perfect. thanks!
ur f-n awesome bro!
brilliant heathcliff
Very nice - works really well with the Focus.
Do you have any timeline for the file browser part? I'd love to see functionality that can copy files on and off the system folders.
Thanks for the tool!
EXCELLENT WORK Heathcliff, finally a way to write to the parts of the registry that we wasnt able to before. NOW we are getting somewhere with the Focus!!
Nice! Looks pretty neat!
Live tiles on Samsung Focus work now!
This is exactly what I was looking for to accomplish the live tile fix on my Samsung Focus detailed on wmpoweruser.

Yes I have 'full' access to the filesystem. The are 2 exceptions I found so far, using my hack:
1. I don't have access to files that are in use by the system. So, driver-files that are currently used cannot be accessed. Not even read-access. Possible work-around: I want to try to make a kind of copy-on-boot. I've already seen locations in the registry, where I can possibly add a startup-item that copies a file to a temporary location, when the file is not in use yet. But I have not tried that yet.
2. I can't overwrite or modify files that have the systemfile-flag. But I can copy the files, as long as they are not in use. Possible work-around: I have not tried all possibilities for changing file-flags. I might be able to do that.
I do have access through the entire file-system, including the \Windows folder and to the IsolatedStorage-folders of other apps. So that should give you a full file-explorer. Working on that now.

Well, there is not really a time-line yet. I wanted to finish the first release of this tool for a long time now. But I got some serious family issues. My grandpa died and my mother got a stroke and needed brain-surgery. Surgery went ok, but she needs rehabilitation right now. You can understand that I spent a lot of time with family over last weeks. I'm not sure how things will go. Situation with my mother looks promising. I visit her every other day now and it is a long ride. So that makes planning for this tool a bit difficult. But a lot of code that I made now is reusable for the other parts of WP7 Root Tools. So that should be a lot easier. I guess it won't take too long before I can add the file-explorer and certificate-stores. Just bear with me.
Hi Heathcliff74,
I hope everything goes well for your Family. The tool is one of kind, it's the first time that I see full Registry access on my Omnia 7. It looks very promising and I cannot wait for the File Explorer part. I hope you can add more features for both the registry and file explorer. Can you export the registry? Or that is not possible yet. Also, I would love to see a favorite’s option so we can add locations of the registry as favorites. We are very grateful to you for an excellent tool. Thanks.
Big thanks for the first alpha release ! Later this day I will do some tests and reply...

Thanks for the compliment. Importing and exporting registry keys is a feature that is not present yet, but it can be implemented for sure. Also a favorites option can be done. I'll put that on my ToDo-list.
Very good app. Hope to see quickly the file explorer feature !!!!
Take care of your family which is the most important .
Good luck!!!!
This is huge, I confirm it works on restricted Registry keys.
You are the best

Preface:
Many of us V6 Supercharger users have been flashing nightlies nightly and dailies daily, resulting in the need for a patched services.jar almost daily since the automatic web patcher no longer works for Android 4.1.1 Jellybean files, we had to stick with manually patching this files as described in Zep's guide here. Eventually Zep prepared several versions of the Jelly_Scream_Smali_Patcher_Test_x.sh script, which does the job perfectly, but the user still has to get his services.jar, extract the .smali files, put them to the phone, put the script to the phone, run it in the phone's terminal, copy the patched .smali files back to the PC etc. etc. and for many of us, this is time consuming (and difficult for others). Time is money, right?
Currently, this tool is using a ported version of the ALL_ROMS_Ultimate_Jar_Power_Tools-Jelly_ISCream+Maximum_MultiTasking_Mods-Smali_Patcher_Test_11.sh script for patching.
So... here an automated workflow, which assumes a few things:
you are running a MS Windows operating system (tested on Win7 x64)
you have Java installed. This was tested with Java7, should run fine on Java 6 as well. In the Q&A section below I provide a link to download Java. Make sure that java.exe is accessible from any folder (is in PATH). Java 7 installs the binaries into the windows/system32 folder, so I hope you have that folder in your PATH. If not, just google how to add a folder to the PATH, there are many tutorials on the web.
[optional] you know how to connect your phone to the PC via USB
[optional] you have ADB drivers installed (either via Android SDK or from your phone's manufacturer)
[optional] you know how to enable USB debugging in your phone and did that
[optional] the USB connection mode is NOT "mass storage" (for the online mode) - please set it to "Charge only" or "None" (varies from device to device)
How to patch the services.jar file
The following assumes you have a "stock" (or unchanged) services.jar in your phone's ROM or in my tool's framework subfolder .
Note: The current version should still be considered as beta-release. While it works for me (most of the computer stuff works when I'm near it, my family has been puzzled about this since long ago.. LOL), it may not work for you. Please report any bugs you find (thread, PM) and I'll be happy to fix them. Although I inserted many "hit the Enter" prompts into the tool, it's always good to run the tool from a console so that you can keep the output in case you flash through the workflow too fast
Also, the tool maintains an activity.log file where it flushes messages about what's happening. If you encounter a bug, send me this file. Please do not copy/paste the log contents into the thread!!! Attach it. Or upload to any cloud service and send me the public URL.

After running the tool and passing the initial screen, you will be presented with a choice between online and offline mode.
Online mode
Online mode assumes that the phone is connected via USB. In this mode, the tool can pull all the information from the phone. Not only the files, but system variables, as well as some debug info (e.g. is the ROM odexed?)
Connect the phone via USB
Enable connection mode "Charge only" or "None". This won't work, if the phone is in "Mass Storage" mode!
Sit back and enjoy (and don't forget to answer the tool's questions!)
After patching there will be a warm reboot
Offline mode
Offline mode means, that there will be no interaction of the tool with the phone via USB. You need to do all the file transfers and in case of odexed ROMs, the final in-phone patching, manually. Also you will have to enter some other information into the tool manually.
make sure to copy your /system/framework/services.jar to the tool's framework folder. If you have an odexed ROM (e.g. stock), copy the whole /system/framework folder contents to the tool's framework folder.
make sure to know your system's version because the tool will ask for it
make sure to know your BOOTCLASSPATH variable. It can be pulled from the phone using the command
Code:
adb.exe set | grep BOOTCLASSPATH
make sure you know if the ROM is odexed or not
After patching, you will need to transfer the patched files to the phone and perform manual patching/replacement:
Odexed ROM:
For odexed ROMs, there is some more patching required that you can do in the phone.
copy services.jar from the 'dist' folder to the sdcard
copy 'dexopt-wrapper' from the 'odex' folder to the sdcard
copy 'dexopt-wrapper.sh' from the 'scripts' folder to the sdcard
Make sure they are in the card's root folder !!
In the phone, open Script Manager or any other app that can run shell scripts with superuser rights.
Open the app, run the dexopt-wrapper.sh script. A warm reboot may occur, since the script will restart the framework
Reboot to recovery, Clean Cache, Clean Dalvik Cache
That's it
Deodexed ROM:
update-signed.zip in the dist folder
Copy this file to your sdcard, then reboot to cwm recovery and install it from there. Then do a Dalvik Cache wipe, Cache wipe and reboot.
services.jar in the dist folder
You can copy this file to phone's /system/framework folder and replace the existing one. Make sure that the new file will have owner/group 'root' and permissions 644. Then reboot to recovery, clean Cache & Dalvik Cache.
Rollback
In case something goes wrong, there should be a message about that in the activity.log file.
Feel free to send this file to me - either attach (not paste!!!) the file to a post in this thread, or upload it to any of the cloud services and tell me the URL. I'll take a look.
Before patching, the tool creates backup of the files as a CWM recovery compatible update.zip file. It will sit in the backup folder. This is your way back to a working system. Of course, you can do a nandroid backup..
So what is the tool actually doing?
Very easy to explain.
it pulls the services.jar (and odex files if needed) from your phone to the working folder (or takes an existing one that you put into the folder)
it uses the baksmali.jar to decompile the services.jar/odex
creates a backup of the unchanged files
it runs a ported perl version (and compiled to exe) of Zeppelinrox's JellyScream patcher script (v6) to patch the .smali files
it uses smali.jar to compile the new classes.dex
inserts the new classes.dex back to the services.jar
[optionally] it pushes the new services.jar back to the phone
[optionally] for ODEXed ROMs, created services.odex from the patched services.jar
[optionally] for deODEXed ROMs, it creates and signs an update.zip that can be flashed in CWM recovery
collects the garbage and exits with a nice message .. LOL
Q&A
Q: It doesn't decompile the services.jar and complains that the .smali files don't exist !!!
A: Yeah, probably your Java is crap. Install Java JRE from Oracle's web (http://java.com/en/download/index.jsp), it will offer you the latest version. I tested with Java 7, but latest releases of Java 6 should work as well.
Q: Getting java errors "not recognized" "not found" and so !!!
A: You probably don't have the java executable in the system PATH. Search the web on how to do this. Typically, Java7 installs its binaries to the <system>:\Windows\System32 folder, other versions may act differently.
Q: I'm getting bootloops after patching the services.jar with this tool!
A: Make sure to Wipe Cache, Wipe Dalvik Cache and Fix permissions in the CWM recovery. ALso, feel free to send me your original services.jar, I'll take a look. If you have an odexed ROM, send me the whole /system/framework folder and the activity.log file generated while using this tool in "online" mode.
Q: After reboot with the new services.jar file, it says "Android is upgrading" and optimizing apps, even though I did not wipe my dalvik cache.
A: Well, yes that is expected. It will take a while, depending on how many apps you have installed.
Q: Will my phone's memory be blazing fast and effective after this?
A: No, you still have to run the V6 Supercharger script.
Q: Does it run on Linux?
A: Not yet, but it will. I need some more internal testing to release a Linux version.
Q: Does it run on ODEXed ROMs?
A: Yes !!!
Q: Why is the executable so large???
A: Blame PAR long story short, I wrote my stuff in Perl and used Perl to port Zep's stuff as well. Then I compiled the script to exe using the PAR:acker package, resulting in the huge executable. I know, there is another way, to use Activestate's PDK (Perl Development Kit), but the license is approx. $250 and I just don't have that money for spending on a single tool. PDK creates much smaller files (approx. 1/3rd), but for now we have to stick with what we have
Q: Tool fails and in the log I see messages like "failed to copy 'C:/super/backup/services.jar' to '/mnt/sdcard/services.jar': Permission denied"
A: Make sure the USB connection mode is other than "Mass Storage". It can be "Charge Only" or "None", really this is depending on the device you own.
Q: Isn't there a virus included in the executable?
A: LOL.. No. This community gave me a lot since 2007 and I have no intention to harm it in any way. If you are using NOD32 and it starts complaining about the URL to my file I posted above, let me know. ESET support is pretty quick in identifying and fixing false warnings
Enjoy.. and feel free to PM me in case of any questions. I'll keep this post updated all the time.

odex: if the baksmali decompile fails (e.g. file missing, although being in BOOTCLASSPATH), the tool will create an alternate BOOTCLASSPATH based on the files that were pulled from the phone and try decompile again. It even this fails, then I guess the world will end in 2012
ui: revamped the whole ui, user is now selecting offline vs online (adb) mode at the beginning
ui: added a proper note for the user to make sure to clean cache/dalvik cache when rebooting for the first time with the new services
ui: added instructions for the user in offline mode (when he wants to do the final steps manually)
internal: added some file exists checking, online (with adb) mode works better now and is prettier
other: as always, please read what the tool says.
0.9.0.2 [2012-09-06]
patcher: Jelly_IScream+Time_Killer_Killer--Smali_Patcher_Test_9.sh
instead of using crappy adb commands, the final patching is done via shell scripts in the phone - please help me test that. I already restored my phone's system partition 4 times (since patching a GB MotoDefy+ with ICS HTC Evo services is not healthy, but necessary for my testing), all the final patching seems to work fine here. Tested for both odexed and deodexed files and my phone already hates me
the tool will make a backup of your original services.jar/odex file into a CWM recovery update.zip (will be in the backup folder) .. that's your way back from potential hell
fixed a typo in manual API level selection - thanks for catching
0.9.0.1 [2012-09-05]
patcher: Jelly_IScream+Time_Killer_Killer--Smali_Patcher_Test_9.sh
few fixes (shell user detection, trying to implement better /system rw mount )
0.9.0 [2012-09-05]
patcher: Jelly_IScream+Time_Killer_Killer--Smali_Patcher_Test_9.sh
initial support for ODEXed ROMs - alpha version. I need testers please ! Since my phone does not have any odexed ICS or JB, I was able to test with sample files from xda fellow members end-to-end, but the real full fledged experience, I can't verify
0.8.9.2 [2012-09-05]
patcher: Jelly_IScream+Time_Killer_Killer--Smali_Patcher_Test_9.sh
minor update to capture the system calls, stdout and stderr into the log, for people who have problems with java. Let's see how it works
0.8.9 [2012-09-04]
patcher: Jelly_IScream+Time_Killer_Killer--Smali_Patcher_Test_9.sh
updated adb communication
added proper logging
internal preparation for ODEX ROMs (yeah, 0.9.0 will work with ODEXed ROMs !!!)
added framework folder as the working folder (reduces file clutter.. LOL)
0.8.5 [2012-08-27]
patcher: Jelly_IScream+Time_Killer_Killer--Smali_Patcher_Test_9.sh
update-binary from Titanium Backup
0.8.4 [2012-08-26]
patcher: Jelly_IScream+Time_Killer_Killer--Smali_Patcher_Test_8.sh
minor fixes only
0.8.3 [2012-08-25]
patcher: Jelly_IScream+Time_Killer_Killer--Smali_Patcher_Test_8.sh
this one should work with services.jar files where the smali files don't include debug information
0.8.2 [2012-08-23]
some more checks for "non-compatible" data, will provide warnings to the user in case of "incompatible" services.jar. Users seeing that message should proceed with caution until the next version. Zeppelinrox is aware of the potential problem.
0.8.1 [2012-08-22]
patching based on Zep's v7 script
resolves patching issue with the services.jar from the Alliance 2.1 ROM for Galaxy Note (GT-N7000)
resolves a weird compilation error when running the executable
0.8 [2012-08-22]
First public version, based on Zep's v6 patcher

I like your tutorial so make sure you keep that but i heard the dev is picky about permissions, how did you get permission?
Anyway, i'll be trying this

It makes your phone FAST... super snappy with better multitasking!
It rearranges and fixes the OOM Groupings and Priorites and lowmemorykiller values.
So basically, it's a COMPLETE MEMORY MANAGEMENT FIX!
It's the ONLY one of it's kind
NO LAUNCHER REDRAWS, faster than ever, multitasking is better... why?
Because it works with the lowmemorykiller and letting it work the way it's meant to work.
And yes! It works with Toasted Marshmallow... I'm using it now

I've never noticed a change on AOSP/AOKP/CM ROMs when using V6.
I have, however, noticed a significant change on Sense ROMs, since they are such memory hogs.

I cannot seem to gain adb shell root rights when I'm on elginsk8r or 0.0 jellybean roms. Works fine with toasted marshmallow. Anyone else have this problem?
I'm not sure about roasted marshmallow, but the 0.0 Rom doesn't have and adb root selected by default under settings/developer options. Check there.

Just tried using JellyScream Patcher 0.9.0.6 with the new ViperTouch v1.0.0 ROM and stuck at HTC logo. Clear cache/dalvik/fix permissions. Still no good. Dirty flash of ViperTouch and I'm back in business (minus the supercharger of course).
All that said, it could just be me. I didn't have luck with Pimp My Rom either (not on ViperTouch but garlest(sp?) Sense ROM) where others seemed to do ok.

Please see here for the new version!
Install DSP Manager, CM Messaging and others on all 4.2.x, 4.3 and 4.4.x ROM's !!
It's now on the play store! Check it out here
For all those that want Cyanogenmod apps on any AOSP-based 4.1 or above ROM, I have made this quick app "CM App Installer"
All apps here are pulled from a CM10.1 zip and tested and should be working on all 4.2.x and 4.3 AOSP roms.
I also tried it on my rooted HTC Desire Z I have lying around running 4.1, so it should work on there as well. Only released for the Nexus 4 because that's all it's really been tested on; if you want to test it out on other ROM's and Devices, please feel free, but again, I do not take responsibility if it goes wrong
This application is designed to add more automation to the process of replacing / installing cyanogenmod apps as system applications, or the regular way, however it is slightly less likely to succeed.
This app installs like any other app.
In addition, it has root permissions to install if you're rooted, so you should be granted SU when you first boot, and it does write to system partition - Read the Code section if you're worried about exactly what gets executed. Installing the regular way will obviously not require this, but sometimes as these are pulled straight from the System partition, they require to be installed as a system app.
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
The process is pretty simple, hit the app, hit install, and then reboot your device.
You can go into more than 1 app at a time and hit install, the restart will refresh your system apps list no matter how many you've added.
At the moment, the following apps are supported
- CM File Manager
- CM Messaging
- CM Torch
- CM DSP Manager
- CM Apollo
- CM Calculator
- Voice +
- CM Focal
Code
This information is also available from within the application.
There are a number of commands that this application uses, it executes certain processes through the code to copy apps to the system directory.
These commands are ran as if they were ran inside the terminal emulator, and always consist of
process, remount to read-write, transfer/copy/rename, remount to read-only, close. (In this order).
I use a Process to get a SU Runtime instance
Code:
Process p = Runtime.getRuntime().exec("su");
And then I use a PrintStream to issue the commands listed below to it.
Remount the system partition as read-write
Code:
mount -o remount,rw -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock3 /system
Rename an app (use move command to move with a different extension
Code:
mv /system/app/AppOfChoice.apk /system/app/AppOfChoice.bak
Copy an app from SD card to System directory
Code:
cat /sdcard/CMApps/AppOfChoice.apk > /system/app/AppOfChoice.apk
Remove an app from system partition
Code:
rm -r /system/app/AppOfChoice.apk
For permissions, I use chmod
Code:
chmod 644 /system/app/AppOfChoice.apk
Remount the system partition as read-only
Code:
mount -o remount,ro -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock3 /system

Obviously I don't take any credit for the applications, they were pulled from the CM flashable zip. All credit for the apps goes to the CyanogenMod Team
Credit also goes to the Reddit member /u/wchill, his code helped with the system code (shown in the Code section above)
Similarly, I do not take any responsibility if this app causes your phone to be bricked, corrupted, broken, or to encounter an unfortunate case of spontaneous combustion. Use at your own risk.
In the mean time, enjoy!

This installed the File Manager on my HTC One perfectly! Thanks!
I have a quick question about this. It seems like such an awesome app. Will this keep apps updated as changes are made? Particularly with the Focal app. I really want to keep up with this as it progresses and develops over time and I am not really sure how to do it except pull it out of a CM nightly ever so often as they update it. Will this app keep the apps I'm downloading updated over time or is it a one time DL that's kinda the version you get deal? Thanks again!

Hi, yeah in it's current state, the apk's are stored within the app itself, and they just get copied and pushed around from there, completely offline. I do intent too when I find a service or a server, or a perminant location where the latest are pushed as the apks, then i'll introduce some server side integration into it, and it will download the latest version.. This is planned in the future
But to answer your original question, no, version 2.0.1 has only a certain version of the apk in it, and that's all it will have
Will look into server streaming and stuff soon though, thanks for commenting
Some CM apps require more files, afaik
eg.
DSPManager needs /system/lib/soundfx/libcyanogen-dsp.so and /system/vendor/etc/audio_effects.conf
Really? :S I've done it on my nexus 4 running a stock build of 4.3 :S Works fine :S

Update
For all those following or remotely interested in this, here's the plan
Develop version 3.0, including networking code, downloading the apk's and pushing as system apps that way, allowing for dynamic expandability, and pushing the latest version of the apks to the device in question
- I can confirm on this front that this version is in the works, I took some time off, had a few chores to do around where I live, but back on track now, next version should be here in a couple of days or so, hopefully
Release on Google play store, now I need to wait till I can put some money in my bank (as I have mere pence in there at the moment), buy a license, and get this thing up and running.

Thanks a lot dude; I was starting to think this app is a no-go :/
I get paid on the 29th of August, so i'll try and get play license by then, I wanna make this official and up there (plus, it's useful to put on a CV or my University application )
The UI has been re-designed (mainly because I wanted to expand my knowledge of the UI features available to me)..
Basic shell of the app at the moment is that it downloads a list of available apps from free server space I managed to find, parse the text, and then design the UI with the apps from the list.. (the idea being if I want to add another application to the app, I can do it all server-side, no need for an update) From that, it downloads locations to download the apks, again, hopefully completely dynamically expandable...
Run into a little bug that's been driving me crazy, where root commands aren't working... The app is pretty much developed, the UI and stuff done, I just need to do some stuff with images in the app, and then getting these damn root commands working..
To anyone with programming experience, I'm running emulating su shell commands, and the "su cat /sdcard/CMApps/Test.apk > /system/app/Test.apk" is just copying a blank file of 0bytes, and I can't for the life of me figure out what's causing it, especially due to the fact I copied and pasted the working one from the old version in an attempt; so might be a bit longer than a few days, depending on the root cause of this issue.. i'll keep you posted...
TL;DR: Everything currently works, except the main function of the app.
Edit: Reckon it's a problem with BusyBox, as I just installed my old version and getting the same bug.. One step closer!
Edit 2: I'm such a freakin' idiot... I went through flashing 4 different ROM's, 3 were 4.3, and 1 was 4.2.2 to find out what the problem ended up being.. Ehh, for the love of god.. Right! Version 3 is up soon I promise
Edit 3: For the love of god :L Right, my server space (because I really didn't pay much for it at all) is under maintanace for a few days..
Play store
Version 3.0.3 is up in the play store! Check out OP for changelog, or grab it here
It downloads the apps nicely but I had some trouble getting them to install. Manually copied them from the sdcard to /system/apps and they installed fine. All except for the messaging apk. Force closes on me when I try anything. Can't click to start a message or even get into settings. Running a stock 4.3 rom, a few modifications, deodexed.

The idea should be you just hit reboot once installed, the app should copy them over as system folder automatically.. The messaging is a little weird, might be something to do with odexed and deodexed ROM's, i'm not sure which is which though..

[MOD] [TWEAKS] Thunderbolt Mod for Smoothness, Performance & Battery improvements
Introduction -
This thread is intended to introduce Thunderbolt! Mod by @pikachu01 to Galaxy SIII users. (I did ask for and got Moderator permission due to perceived duplicate nature of the thread.)
First and foremost, here is the Original Thunderbolt thread. I do not take credit for the mod. All thanks go to @pikachu01.
Practically all the D2TMO/D2ATT/D2SPR/D2VZW users are using one version or other of Jelly Bean. So, although the original thread covers anything from Gingerbread to Jelly bean, I wish to provide a simple set for JB specific usage. Another reason for this thread is to explain what this mod does so that the average user understands what's going to happen and also be able to distinguish with other Mods. I have personally used this mod and given that I understand the underlying principle, I strongly recommend this mod.
Benefits -
Better performance through Linux kernel tweaks catered for Android OS and flash memory.
Better battery life through usage of screenstate_scaling whereby it switches thresholds/VM tunables depending on your screen state.
Better performance for database writes as fsync is not utilized any more.
Better network throughput from TCP tweaks and 3G tweaks.
Less RAM usage through zipaligning of all the apps.
Reduced /dbdata, /data, /sdcard usage of *.db files and faster database access through defragmentation of sqlite db files (a lot of apps use Database to store data like Swype dictionaries, Game saves etc)
Faster disk access through remount script (noatime, disable barrier etc)
What does it do -
I will try to explain as simply as possible what the mod does. This will help clarify for the first timers as well as experts.
Partition Remount – Each Partition is Remounted with the Noatime option set. This will avoid a Write operation whenever Android reads from disc. Thus improving performance significantly.
Optimizing SQLITE Database– SQLITE is a lightweight database used extensively in Android apps. Its the basis for saving application data and images. For each app, there is a separate instance. With significant write activity, the database gets fragmented and is not on consecutively arranged on the Flash storage. If this is optimized, read operations as well as write operations of every application will significantly boost. Thus improving overall smoothness. However, if you have a lot of applications and each application having lot of data in the database, (For ex. Games, TiBU or Social Media) optimization operation will take some time. Fortunately you don't have to do this frequently. Even once a week will do wonders.
APK Re-Alignment – Each application comes packaged as APK or Android PacKage file. These are internally packaged as an archive. Within the archive, uncompressed data needs to be aligned with respect to beginning of the file. When aligned in this way, the files are read quicker and executed efficiently. This contributes to a smooth experience. Quiet a few apps on Google Play are not aligned when you install. This will eventually contribute to a sluggish and less than optimal experience. Aligning the files once a week will help avoid this. If you tend to install new apps frequently, you might be better off putting this file in init.d, so this will be executed at each boot.
Network Parameter tweaking – In Build.prop, size values of buffers should be increased given higher RAM sizes on these phones. This tweak is pretty well known to most of the people on XDA.
Scheduler Tweaking – This only applies to Kernels that implement CFS Scheduler. Users of KT747 Kernel can ignore this as that kernel does not implement CFS. For those who have it, tweaking the Scheduler parameters knowing the files are zipaligned, will render smoother experience.
Download & Installation -
I highly recommend taking a Nandroid backup before proceeding to flash this mod.
Download Link for the JellyBean Thunderbolt! Mod zip file download Link- JellyBean Version.
Copy the zip file to your SD Card (internal or external).
Install Script manager from Google Play Store. Also optionally install Terminal Emulator (Only needed to verify successful install).
Flash the Thunderbolt! zip in Recovery and then reboot the device.
If you experince Boot Loops, please flash the undo script or restore your Nandroid. Let me know.
Open Script Manager.
Launch S98screenstate_scaling as Root (The Skull icon). If it executes successfully, set it to run at Boot (The Wheel Icon).
NOTE - This script is not compatible with some Roms. Please test it to see if it works with your Rom before setting it to run at boot.
Launch S98system_tweak as Root (The Skull icon). If it executes successfully, set it to run at Boot (The Wheel Icon).
Launch /etc/bolt_scripts/remountNexus4 as Root (The skull icon) and as Boot (The wheel icon).
Note - Given this re-mount is not for US versions of Galaxy S III, you may get errors on the subsequent screen. Ignore them and hit back button.
Launch /etc/bolt_scripts/sqlite_optimize as Root (The skull icon).
Note - This script can be used at anytime you want except at boot so do not set that way (the wheel icon) or from inside init.d. Given it's a very long running script, it will inordinately held up boot up process.
Launch /etc/bolt_scripts/s70darky_zipalign as Root (The skull icon).
Note - This script can be used anytime you want including as Boot (Wheel icon) or within init.d folder. If you copy it to init.d set its permission to rwx-rwx-rwx. Also note, this script is located under bolt_scripts since users with a large set of apps may experience quiet a bit of delay during boot up.
Launch /etc/bolt_scripts/CFS/S98CFS as Root (The skull icon) and as Boot (The wheel icon).
Launch /etc/bolt_scripts/S98TCPbuffers as Root (The skull icon) and as Boot (The wheel icon).
That's it. Enjoy!

Reverting/Undoing ThunderBolt!
To revert ThunderBolt!, download the ThunderBolt! Restore.zip
Do note that reflashing your ROM will remove ThunderBolt! as well.
How to find out if it works
Use File Explorer/ Root Explorer/Root Browser, and navigate to
/system/etc/init.d/
There you should find (among other things) s98system_tweak file. That indicates successful flashing of the mod.
The longer method to confirm success, requires executing some commands via Terminal Emulator. Explore these inside the hidden text bellow if you wish.
The way to validate success and effectiveness of this mod is checking on how often the Kernel writes to internal SD card. For one, android scheduler does not perform an immediate write operation when the app requests it. It rather waits till its buffer is full and then does the write. Secondly, given its solid state storage, it is extremely fast compared to your computer. So what we are doing here is modifying the Buffer size in accordance with your Ram. The more the ram, the bigger the buffer.
The third parameter, vfs_cache_pressure actually tells the kernel to favor File System Cache. So the ram will fill up for the File system cache, thus increasing application performance.
So to test, using Terminal Emulator, do the following Steps. Press Enter after each to execute them individually.
To enter superuser mode and then execute,
Code:
SU
sysctl -a | grep vm
You will get a screen like this.
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
You are looking for the values highlighted in the screen.
If your phone has 1GB Ram or less, you should see values like bellow,
Code:
vm.dirty_background_ratio = 10
vm.dirty_ratio = 20
vm.vfs_cache_pressure = 50
Since Galaxy SIII has 2 GB Ram, you should expect to see values like this
Code:
dirty_background_ratio = 5
dirty_ratio = 10
vfs_cache_pressure = 50
With the phone screen off, you may use ADB to run the same commands.
Code:
su
sysctl -a | grep vm
ADB should get these values with the phone screen turned off.
For devices with 1GB RAM devices or below, you should see in the output,
Code:
dirty_background_ratio = 20
dirty_ratio = 40
vfs_cache_pressure = 100
For Galaxy S III, given it has 2 GB Ram, you should see,
Code:
dirty_background_ratio = 10
dirty_ratio = 20
vfs_cache_pressure = 100
Q&A REGARDING THE MOD -
Please note, there are also following MODs compatible with Galaxy SIII, that I am aware of. However they differ from this mod. So I have given a short Summary of the distinction between those mods and this one.
1. How is this different from Crossbreeder ? So which Mod is better ?
Crossbreeder by @idcrisis is a mod that focuses on better implementation of DNS Catching and Parallalization of DNS queries. It also improves on tethering and blocks Ads. Last but not the least, it also modifies Entropy levels like Seeder.
What Thunderbolt does, is more on installed Apps and disk I/O improvement. So those two MODs can co-exist just fine and do not conflict or have overlapping functionality.
2. How is Thunderbolt different from V6 SuperCharger Mod by @zeppelinrox ?
V6 Supercharger focuses on invincibility of the Android Launcher. This could be any Launcher you are using as default. It also tweaks significantly to Android's Low Memory Management (AKA Low Memory Killer). This latter will significantly improve Multitasking capabilities.
As you see, this too is quiet different from what Thunderbolt does. So there is no overlap or competition per se. You can implement both at the same time.
2. How is Thunderbolt different from Operation Killjoy Mod by @Exit_Only ?
I am investigating the compatibility. Until then Unless noted, the two are not compatible with each other.
Note - If I have not mentioned a compatible Mod, then please let me know and I will be more than happy to post it here.

Thanks for testing.
Do you have a lot of applications installed on your phone ? Also at what step did it get stuck at boot screen ?
Please note, as I said earlier in the thread, while executing boot up script, the phone may appear to be stuck at Boot screen but will eventually come back. It is very important to know at what step it got stuck at boot.
Is this compatible with Killjoy?

If you are referring to the Touchwiz Killjoy Rom, yes I believe so.
Please note, given that rom is Touchwiz, the Remount script in op may not work. So please do not set it to run at Boot.

I downloaded the mod, rebooted into recovery, flashed the mod, rebooted and waited for it to load but it never got past the splash screen. I waited for about 5 minutes

I believe he's referring to the Operation Killjoy script by Team Kernelizer member @Exit_Only and if that's the case then unless stated otherwise, this will not work alongside Killjoy. As of right now the only approved script package to run with Killjoy is Croossbreeder.
Thank you, Luigi. I was referring to Operation Killjoy.

When you flashed in Recovery, I am sure there was a screen with Script output. I'd love to see what it looked like.
Also before you flashed the mod, did Dandroid happen to have any scripts in init.d folder ? If yes, can you attach them ?
Lastly Can you revert to your Nandroid Backup and try this file instead ?

I do assume you have Jellybean on your L9 ? Unlike original Pikachu's version, this is JB specific.
Like I asked the other poster,
1. What Rom & Kernel are you running ?
2. would you please provide the screen from Recovery that shows outcome of the flash ? (Typically you get to save the script output as text.)

Wiz *** Pixelize your OnePlus 7T pro
"Extreme debloat: Go where OnePlus has never gone before"
You thought that OnePlus phones were pretty stock Android? Hmmm .... think again ... there's still lots of stuff on these phones that you actually don't need (or want).
For example, did you know they have an engineering mode? Did you know that they can connect to your phone remotely? Did you know that when the phone starts up it connects to a OnePlus server in the back? Well, I don't want all that ...
In addition, there are even standard things in Android that only 0.01% of the people ever use ... for example ... tracing, android dumps, ... these things are disabled in this ROM.
Then there's bits and pieces of Qualcomm stuff that you actually do not need/want (I don't even know what they do).
This is a ROM in the form of a Magisk (thanks: @topjohnwu) module. That's great (I think). You can install it on top of the normal OnePlus software. If you don't like it or want to revert back to the "standard" OnePlus software, just remove the Magisk module and ... done!
Upfront "warning"
There are a few features which I personally do not use. When you install this module then:
- you will no longer have face unlock
- you will not have VoLTE (I have disabled this because it does not work on my carrier)
Basic requirement
(1) Your OnePlus 7T pro must be ROOTED! Without root, do not read any further as you will not be able to use this ROM. There are other threads in the OnePlus 7T Pro pro forums which explain how to root (so please don't start asking how to do this).
(2) You must also be on the latest OnePlus software: 10.0.7.HD01BA (since I own a EU model of the OnePlus 7T pro, I have ONLY tested this ROM in this device/software). It "may" work on other variants of the device ... but I don't know. I can't answer questions to that either.
(3) You must have access to ADB over USB. If you don't know what this means, stop reading, then this is not for you.
Kernel requirement
This ROM will work with the standard out-of-the-box OnePlus 7T pro kernel. However, I would strongly advice you to flash the "arter97" kernel (see https://forum.xda-developers.com/on...development/arter97-kernel-oneplus-7-t3952578). It's a fantastic kernel and this ROM has some optimizations which go very well with this kernel (don't worry, they will work on the standard kernel as well).
Download?
Interested? Start downloading the magisk module from the link below (but please read further for installation instructions !!!).

History
I once owned a Galaxy S8. ***GoogleWiz*** was one one the most popular ROMs on that phone. See https://forum.xda-developers.com/ga...t/rom-googlewiz-oreo-extreme-debloat-t3750641. The difference is that I have now converted this to a Magisk module (reason: the "dynamic partitioning scheme" of Android Q makes it really hard to flash in the classical way; as you know even full TWRP functionality does currently not exist for the OnePlus 7T pro.
(Re)Using this work
Other devs, please feel free to (re)use this for your own work ... I am not asking anything from anybody, no donation, no thanks, no beer ... you don't even have to mention that you (re)use this. We are here on XDA to share and learn from eachother. If you unzip the Magisk module, you can see exactly what is inside. But ... there has been quite some work into this. It was not created in 5 minutes. But I do this as a "hobby" ... I have always rooted and customized my Android phones. So hopefully you will enjoy.

Installation (really IMPORTANT to read)
You must start from the 10.0.7 "standard" OnePlus 7T pro software. I suggest you do a clean install from factory reset. Strictly speaking a full reset is not needed (so you could just go and install the Magisk module on your phone) but there may be certain side effects in that case. Anyway, assuming you will do a full reset, follow the instructions below:
Go to Settings > System > Reset options > Erase all data (factory reset)
Proceed through the normal setup sequence: accept the terms and conditions of OnePlus, skip the User Experience Program, skip the System Stability Program, skip the Push Notifications, skip the Built-in App Updates, connect to your wifi network, do NOT copy apps and data, enter your google account email of phone number, enter your google password, do 2 factor authentication (if you have enabled this on your google account), if a dialog pops up with "Add your current account", do that, disable Backup to Google Drive, disable Use Location, disable Send Usage and Diagnostic Data, type NEXT to use fingerprint, enter PIN code (twice), set up 1 or more fingerprints, you see a message about Google Assistant, press NEXT, you see a message about Google Pay, press Got It, skip the Anything Else screen, choose your screen calibration, choose font (slight preference for Roboto, better compatibility with Google apps), choose Navigation bar or Gestures, press START on the Setup Complete screen, you are now in the OnePlus launcher, allow carrier location service, swipe down the notification which says: Android Setup, click on Finish Setup, copy your data if you want that, press START, system will now check for updates, let it complete, copy your data from cloud or iphone, continue until you are back in the OnePlus launcher, go to Settings > About phone, tap build number 7 times to activate developer options (if you don't know what this is, search XDA)., enter your PIN, press back arrow, go to Settings > System > Developer options, enable "Advanced reboot", disable "Automatic system updates", enable "USB debugging mode", connect your phone to a PC, a dialog will pop up to Allow USB debugging (tick "Always allow from this computer") and press ALLOW, install the LATEST Magisk Manager APK (see https://forum.xda-developers.com/apps/magisk/official-magisk-v7-universal-systemless-t3473445), push the Magisk Manager APK to your phone, e.g.
Code:
> adb push MagiskManager-v7.5.1.apk /sdcard/
open the app drawer, open the app called "Files", on the upper right, click the 3 dots, then "Show internal storage", on the upper left, click the 3 lines, select "OnePlus 7T Pro", scroll down and click on MagiskManager-v7.5.1.apk; install the app, open Magisk Manager, it will say your phone requires Additional Setup, click OK ... your phone will reboot 5 seconds later, open Play Store, select My Apps and Games, it will say that a number of updates are pending, press "Update all", exit Play Store, reopen it ... it might still say that there are pending updates, do them, activate NETFLIX ... do it NOW ... (if you first install the Magisk module, you will no longer be able to activate Netflix), push the downloaded magisk module to your phone
Code:
> adb push mm-googlewiz.zip /sdcard/
open the Magisk Manager app, press the 3 lines (top left of screen), press Modules, press + button (and allow Magisk Manager to access media), press the 3 lines top left in the file manager, select OnePlus 7T pro, scroll down and click on the mm-googlewiz.zip file, Magisk Manager will now install the module ... you will see some text output on the screen ... wait until installation is done (it will take a minute or so), press the yellow Reboot button which appears (your phone will reboot), unlock the lock screen by entering your PIN, let the ROM settle 30 secs ... it will say "Restarting" and reboot once more your phone, unlock the lock screen by entering your PIN, open the drawer, open the Settings app (will be in black mode [my personal liking] ... you can change later back to white), press Apps & Notifications, select Default Apps, press home app and select Nova Launcher, open Settings, press Apps & Notifications, select Default Apps => select "Phone app" and then select "Phone" (this is the Google phone app)
Now you will have NOVA launcher as default ... which you can customize to your liking (much better than OnePlus launcher).
Open Drawer, use the app Nova-settings to customize.
Open Drawer, click on "Nova Google Companion" => this will enable left swipe Google Now behavior in Nova launcher
Done! .... now you can further customize your phone in any way you want ...
Bootloop?
If - after installation - you should get into a bootloop then check the following thread (https://forum.xda-developers.com/7t-pro/how-to/guide-remove-magisk-modules-twrp-t3995677) for how to remove the Magisk module.
Disclaimer
I will try to support questions / feedback. I will not answer questions such as "Can you please add OnePlus feature X,Y,Z" ... I have deliberately removed them. If you want OnePlus apps, use the standard OnePlus software.. The usual applies: no warranty, installing this void warranty, install at your own risk, ... I am not responsible for soft or hard bricks. Your phone must be rooted (again).
Help ... I really don't like it ... I want to remove it ...
Stay calm. Open Magisk Manager, press the 3 lines top left on screen, press Modules, then press the trash icon next to "googlewiz" module and reboot ... you will have the standard OnePlus software again.
Removing Google apps
You can remove Google apps from the ROM as follows. Go to the following URL: https://raw.githubusercontent.com/foobar66/googlewiz/master/googlewiz.config click right and then "Save as". Save the file using "googlewiz.config" as file name. Note that this file is a LINUX plan vanilla text file. The file will look as follows:
Code:
keep=1
lens=1
news=1
assistant=1
sheets=1
snapseed=1
street=1
home=1
measure=1
fit=1
tasks=1
earth=1
slides=1
clock=1
calculator=1
docs=1
Edit the file and put "xyz=0" for Google apps that you do NOT want to install. Above is respectively for Google {Keep, Lens, News, Assistant, Sheets, Snapseed, Streetview, Home, Measure, Fit, Tasks, Earth, Slides, Clock, Calculator, Docs}. Put the file onto your sdcard, e.g. via adb ("adb push googlewiz.config /sdcard/"). Download today's version ([version: 2020-03-30 18:28]) of the module (or later). Re-install the module via Magisk manager and reboot. You will see debug output on the screen during module installation which Google apps are getting removed.

Actually the Magisk module is generated by a bash script (I use linux) starting from the original OnePlus software zips.
The script is attached to this thread. Download the zip file attached and then rename the file by removing the ".zip" extention). You will have a plain Linux bash shell script file. No secrets. Sharing all in the open (which I believe should be the spirit of XDA).
Reuse as you like ...
Source code
Feel free to (re)use ... no secrets, no hidden stuff, no need to thanks, no need to donate ...
https://github.com/foobar66/googlewiz
My only request ... if you make an interesting improvement, please share with the community so we all can benefit from it!
Misc stuff
a) How do you debloat? Well ... there are different ways.
- some init.rc files are not needed, the Magisk module bind-mounts "empty" files over the original ones so they do not run
- OnePlus APKs are "debloated" by bind-mounting an "empty" APK over them; Android will no longer recognize them as valid applications
- some background processes are not needed, they are "debloated" by bind-mounting empty files over the executables in /system/bin
Unzip the Magisk module, look at the file called "service.sh" and you will understand how this is done (partly).
Check out the previous post where you can find the bash shell script which I use to "generate" the Magisk module.
b) Debug info
To see what the module has done during boot, there is a dedicated log file /data/googlewiz/googlewiz.log, do:
Code:
> adb shell
$ su
# cat /data/googlewiz/googlewiz.log
c) Logging of init.d and services.d scripts. Init.d scripts run immediately together with Android boot. services.d scripts run once /sdcard is mounted. To see the debug output do:
Code:
> adb shell
$ su
# cat /data/LS00*
# cat /data/LS99*

e) If you want to have full "black", use Substratum (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=projekt.substratum) and the Swift Black theme (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.brit.swiftblack.layers). That will allow you to mod all the Google apps (and others) into full black mode.
f) "adb logcat" does not seem to move ... correct, to re-enable it do:
Code:
> adb shell
$ su
# setprop log.tag I
i use face unlock...

You downloaded from: https://mega.nz/#!2BZSiCwR!A4VQ6ZhSr...Sd_8F5W8Njb5Sg
I downloaded and it installs fine for me (just to be sure I was not using a local copy) ... it installs fine for me.
Check the md5 sum if you know how to do that: 3fb9c987cbe94874471c7c699e65d8a1

I will update OP as well.
Can I 'dirty install' over the latest global stock ROM (already rooted with Magisk)?
Is the stock call recorder activated on this ROM?
Also, any possibility of working V4A being bundled in with this ROM? (I had no luck via the adb method).
Many thanks.

Dirty install should be possible.
ROM uses the Google dialer, so no call recording for now.
V4A ... never tried it so far, I would need to investigate ... try to find a Magisk module for it (not sure if that exists).
Done a dirty flash all seems to be working fine so far ?
Hi, thx for your work. Sadly for me its not working. Going to endless boot. Followed every Step. Sadly I didnt realize that I have Netflix installed wich was not Active and now even after removing the Modules it Says not Compatible with my Device....My Vault... Is there a Workaround for this?

Which country are you in? Just realize that I might have copied the wrong APN file ... (but not sure this is why it does not work in your case).
I am uploading a new version with the original APN files ... please wait a bit.
Edit: new version available (use original download link).
