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!

- 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

- Option to delete all the safe to remove items
V1.1
- Added compatible with update-script
Todo:

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you replace them instantly with an updated/different version from market, like quickoffice, the google apps that are out of date very quickly...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

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'
How to hide the combined Status Bar on ICS (root required!)
I think many ppl are searching for a solution to hide the status bar on ICS, since the Hacks from Honeycomb doesnt work on ICS.
Note that this is really a "Hack" since it forces Android to stop a services that is flagged as "important".
As usual, you are solely responsible if you brick your device!!! Install this Hack at your own risk!!!
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
The Hack is tested on [ROM][ICS] Team Eos ICS 1.0.0 (umts_everest). Let others know if you have experiences with other roms. I´ll update this post after ur feedback.
Requirements:
MOD
- a rooted Xoom
- attached ZIP file (all credits to [email protected])
HOW TO
- SwipePad https://market.android.com/details?id=mobi.conduction.swipepad.android
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Installation
The attached ZIP file contains
ToggleBar.apk
android.policy.jar
Settings.apk
1st - Install ToggleBar.apk and replace:
/system/framework/android.policy.jar
/system/app/Settings.apk
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
using RootExplorer or equivalent or use ADB to push.
2nd - Reboot your device
Now you´ve got a new option to hide allow hiding the statusbar under Settings -> Display
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Exemplary use for end-users
- Install SwipePad from the Market
- Setup SwipePad to launch ToggleBar

- based on Maxime's CombinedBar auto hide feature for ICS CM9
- no more need to kill systemUI
- no known issues

I would like to try this but I don't wanna be the guinea pig.
There's nothing super risky in changing the services.jar.
Make a backup of yours and you can push it back with ADB if you got a bootloop.
Nice, and thanks.
Wish there was a way to incorporate this into my app without needing the external jar file to be replaced (like it is in HC).
I have an app on Market that is a Kiosk browser app, but currently only for Honeycomb. It'd be sweet if it could work for ICS as well

I don't think there is a way to do it without a "special" version of the jar (policy or services)
In HoneyComb you could hide the bar, but with ICS Google remove that option, now the bar is "enforced" due the soft buttons and notification stuff.
new version online. see first post!
thx dabidu
Maybe this could go to the development section.
I add the .diff file with all the required changes on the source code to get the toggle the bar on and off, so anyone building a new rom from souce could implement this "feature"

I try this on eos 68. Its working with a big BUT.
No way to trigger the status bar back in application. Rotate the screen didnt work either.
Most of apps on market do not have exit button. So i can only use restart using log press power button.
I hope you could add the toggle setting on log press power button. That will do the jobs.
Thread Moved.

I understand about how to use. But if you could change the setting apk to include in display setting menu. Why not add it to the long press power button menu where the shutdown, reboot recovery and soo on.
It would become easy to use without need extra swipe application.
Just advice. No need to angry.
Nb: when using mxvideoplayer playing movies. Cannot toggle the status bar. But dice player just fine.
Amazing mod, you dont even need swipe pad. Thanks man.
You can just change back and forth from settings, sometimes after you select the bar again, it wont show, make a rotation and it will show again.

Great app! Do these get backed up somehow during a rom update? I don't see a script in addon.d but I guess my own would work, as CarbonRom dropped the Omni Soundpacks feature so I made a backup script after applying the sounds manually. This app would save quite a bit of work if changing sounds now and again! Would it be possible to add the option to choose a zip on the user's device? I ask as I've downloaded some excellent soundpacks but adjusted the volume of certain sounds to my liking and re-zipped.

I have Note 3 SM-N9005 (hlte), running CarbonRom latest nighlty. It used to have the Soundpacks feature from Omni but they reverted it in favour of CM Theme engine soundpacks (even though there is no ui sounds in any theme yet!)
I have tested this app with my set up successfully. After being asked to allow a reboot, which I did, the chosen soundpack was working and when I chose to restore, I rebooted myself and it was back to normal.
*edit* I chose "stock and other"

Thanks for your reply. I think i need add reboot alert to the restore function to.
Chose sound pack from device:
Sound pack supported devices: there is no problem. There is a file (audio_assets) it define witch sound is for witch function.
Write direct to system: if i unzip a sound pack i can only use this sounds named right. ( camera_click, camera_focus, Effect_Tick etc)
else i got no sound from system. so i need alert an error like ( sound pack isnt supported )
What you think about this?

Yes, I understand they have to have the same name as in the rom's ui folder or have the audio_assets file. I guess whichever method is most user friendly!

No worries, it worked fine for the soundpacks within the app. UI is excellent, nice and simple. The only error I noticed was "Chosoe Soundpack" instead of "Choose Soundpack". Other than that, it's perfect and seems like an excellent way to bring soundpacks to roms that don't have it!

Hello everyone,
I want to share my Headset Notifier for any Xperia running on stock MM roms
It shows a notification when your headphone is plugged in.
*Actually this headphone notifier is modded Unsupported Headset Notifier.apk, because Sony disabled the notification when you plug your headphones.
*It should be working on any Xperia MM rom.
Okay, if you want to find the apk, check the attachment of this post and jump to Step 5.
If you want to try to mod it by yourself, here's the guide below:
Here's what we need:
-Notepad++
-Apktool (Version that support Android 6.0 Roms, I use Advanced ApkTool 2.1.1 to work.)
Steps:
1. Decompile your UnsupportedHeadset.apk
2. Go to res/values/ and open bools.xml with notepad++
3. Edit This Line(Change the red one):
<bool name="show_headset_plugin_icon_to_notification">false</bool>
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
to:
<bool name="show_headset_plugin_icon_to_notification">true</bool>
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
4. Save file and recompile and sign it. Done!
5. Install as normal apk or move to system/app/UnsupportedHeadsetNotifier/,and set permission to rw-r-r and then reboot.
*Maybe this mod needs Superuser mod (Patched Services.jar).
Edit:I added Flashable Zip below, flash it in your custom recovery.
Tested on:
-My Xperia Z3 with eXistenZ MM Rom - 23.5.A.1.203
Great find. Thanks for sharing this. Working fine...
what about if i want to add headset icon to the status bar when headset connected ? if you know the steps share with us please.thanks for this mod.

I changed "version code" from "23" to "24" in this apk, maybe that's why you cannot install, try it and tell me if it works...

Don't worry!
I figured it out! How about change the package id?
I think it will not conflict with the original one!
Could install as a separate app, not cover.
Edit: .....But Hmm... after I wrote this post a few minutes, I found a question,
because you installed as a separated one.
It will have two (may conflict the notification showing)...
One makes it show(The one you installed)
And another one will block it down(The System one)
So report me if it shows the notification when you plug in,
If it cause conflict that makes it doesn't shows the notification, I will remove it, because that's useless and bad.
Edit 2: Or if it doesn't work because of conflict, you can try to disable UnsupportedHeadset Notifier in settings and reboot.

Find a remove tool for no root device, to remove it.
Try this method to remove the system one?

I just can say:......It doesn't support this system
Tried another Sony device (rooted), even I removed the original apk and install the modified one, still not showing the notification.....
Tested on my old Z1C 5.1.1 Stock based custom rom with modded apk for 5.1.1 LP
Can u change the text notification?
Can u give me a guide to change notification text from "headset pluged in, unplug them to get speaker sound" to another text? Like "beats sound enabled" or etc?
Cause i can change the headset icon png, but cant change the text one.
Hello!
This morning i was just looking in build.prop when ive seen a line regarding multi-window.
On EMUI 5 / Android 7, we can enable MultiWindow by pressing for few seconds the multitasking/recents icon in the navigation bar.
This feature is available on EMUI 4.1 as well.
REQUIREMENTS:
- EMUI 4.1
- Unlocked bootloader
- Rooted phone
- a file manager with root support ( im using the good old version of ES File Explorer)
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
[HOW-TO] Huawei Nova:
1) Grant root access to the file manager.
2) Go to /system and open build.prop.
3) Search for ro.huawei.multiwindow and change it from false to true.
ro.huawei.multiwindow=false becomes ro.huawei.multiwindow=true.
4) Save and reboot. After reboot, you can use MultiWindow by pressing for few seconds the multitasking / recents icon from navigation bar.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
[HOW-TO] Other Huawei phones:
If you have followed the instructions for Huawei Nova and it didnt work, then check if you have HwMwLauncher folder in /system/app or /system/priv-app.
If it is missing, then check this post. People reported that MultiWindow is working after they got HwMwLauncher.
CONFIRMED DEVICES:
- Huawei Honor 8
If your phone isnt on this list, then it doesnt mean that it doesnt work. Just try and report back. I think it should work on all Huawei phones which are running EMUI 4.1.

EDIT: I just seen that you can use MultiWindow by swiping up two fingers on navigation bar too.
When you are in Multiwindow with 2 apps open, press HOME button.
I have a big bug!
The Home is in half screen.

I have no issues. When I press home button it just disable MultiWindow.
Nova CAN-L11 running EMUI 4.1 CANC432B100.
Maybe this is my firmware problem... I don't know.
But only with home button.
With back button all is ok.

I enabled this on my mate 7 with emui 4 marshmallow quite a while ago. If I try to use it I just get a pop up message saying this application does not support dual windows. Haven't found a practical use for it yet.

It's same for me.
When you press the "+" on homescreen after you enable MultiWindow I think it shows only the apps which support it.
Personally, I'm not using MultiWindow. I just wanted to share the small trick I've found.
Strange - it doesn't seem to have any effect on my rooted Honor 8 (still on MM with EMUI 4.1).
I used BuildProp Editor to set ro.huawei.multiwindow=true and rebooted. Holding the "recents" button does nothing apart from a quick burst of haptic feedback after about half a second or so.
Any ideas?
Thanks.

Exactly the same phone and software here but it shows the toasts messages and the MultiWindow interface but doesn't work. I think EMUI 4.1 is simply Nougat ready and that is the reason why it has the option to enable or disable MultiWindow but the system (MM) has not this function and that is why it doesn't work. So the result is only the GUI of MultiWindow being shown but is only EMUI trying to do something as layer that system in fact isn't capable.
I was wrong follow @#Henkate instructions here here

1) Do you have HwMwLauncher.apk in /system/app/HwMwLauncher or /system/priv-app/HwMwLauncher ? I don't think it matter if it is in app or priv-app, but it must exist. I have it in /system/app.
2) After you enable MultiWindow, do you see the process named HwDualWindowLauncher at Settings > Developer Options > Running services (check also cached processes there)?
3) In build.prop I have the following line: ro.config.hw_multiscreen=true. I think it might be related to MultiWindow as well, but I'm not sure. I didn't try yet to set it to false and see what happens.

Well, it works for me on Nova CAN-L11 running EMUI 4.1
MultiWindow has been introduced in Android 6. Why Huawei hid this option in EMUI 4.1 (Android 6) and introduced it as a new feature in EMUI 5 (Android 7)? That's what I'm asking too.

1). I don't have HwMwLauncher.apk in either location (or anywhere, in fact).
2). No, I don't see the HwDualWindowLauncher process running.
3). I tried that, but it doesn't appear to have any affect.
Thanks anyway.
I'm not too bothered whether this works or not, but if it can be enabled, I will just for the fun of it!

The missing HwMwLauncher could be the problem since it is related to MultiWindow.
I've uploaded HwMwLauncher folder from my Huawei Nova.
1) Download HwMwLauncher.zip from HERE and extract it.
2) Copy HwMwLauncher folder to system/app.
3) Set the correct permissions for folders and files (.apk and .odex). I've attached screenshots with the permissions as well. The permissions of oat and arm64 folders must be same as the one for HwMwLauncher folder. And the permission of .odex file must be same as .apk one.
4) Reboot. Now I'd say that it should work. Make sure that ro.huawei.multiwindow=true in build.prop, but also ro.config.hw_multiscreen=true (just in case, I still don't know the purpose of this line as I didn't try to set it to false yet).
@carmeloamg :
If you don't have HwMwLauncher neither, then follow the same steps I've wrote in this post and report if it works.

I didn't have it. Placed and fixed but it only allows to use three system apps as second window even having some other multi window ready apps. For instance I've got WhatsApp and Telegram I can use multi window each one separately with gallery, files and videos but not both together. Snapshot attached. Same for you @stooby ?
Thanks @#Henkate !
very easy and smart! working very well without problems ...thanks

Yes, same for me. When I had my Note 4, there was an Xposed module that enabled all apps for multi window use. Unfortunately, it's not working on these devices. I'll keep investigating.

HONOR 8: Installing this version of HwMwLauncher makes the multi window natively supported apps to be selectable and the multiwindow_whitelist_apps.xml file placed in /cust/hw/normal/xml make it usable from many other apps that before says not compatible. Only two issues, sometimes launcher (nova launcher) gets stuck on half of it size buy as it comes it goes. The other issue is that you can not use two apps that not appear in HwMwLauncher, just able to open one that is not and then launch another that is on it. See screenshots (example using chrome and instagram).
