[GSCRIPT MOD] HOW TO Backup/Delete/Restore BLOATWARE in 1 click! [UPDATED 29/06/2011] - Galaxy S II Original Android Development

Hi guys,
another day, another tip!
Today I will explain how to delete bloatware (Samsung Apps acc..) in ONE CLICK, just use GSCRIPT and MY SCRIPT!
You will say that our phone has this function ... But it is not true, or rather, this function has to pay.
To avoid spending money unnecessarily, I will explain how to do that in a few clicks!
Let's start!
What we need:
- Samsung Galaxy S II i9100
- Phone rooted (choose your preferred methods);
- IMPORTANT, BUSYBOX from Market (if not installed);
- GSCRIPT from Market (all credits of this app goes to PinkVenture, if you like it, buy a full version);
- My tips
What will do:
- Download my SCRIPTS (archive) and extract;
- Start Gscript, leave it to take Superuser acces, then press on:
Menu --> Add script --> Load file
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
and close it;
- a new folder called gscript was created in your INTERNAL SD;
- Copy my scripts in gscript folder on internal sdcard:
/sdcard/gscript
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
- Start Gscript and then press:
Code:
Menu --> Add script --> Load file
select the scripts, one by one, and check Need SU? then save;
- A new script is added!
- Press on the script you want and it start!
- Well done, all bloatwares have been Backupped/Deleted/Restored (chose what you want to do)!!

I hope that the trick will be useful!
Disclaimer
Anybody can use this scripts, but at your own risk. I take no responsibility for any conflict, fault, or damage caused by this appling morph theme. No warranties of any kind are given. I have tested my product and have not found any problems with it.
It's my IDEA, under copyright, you can use it, but you can't use the SCRIPTS in a ANDROID APPLICATION! I'm developing an unique android application that incorporate my scripts.
That's all!
Thank you!

probably best to use Titanium backup or Root explorer to remove them then.

You can modify the list when you add the script; in GSCRIP, open the SCRIPT and delete the lines that contains the apps that you want to save, like in a TXT file.
ES. if you don't want to delete BuddiesNow.apk delete the line:
rm /system/app/BuddiesNow.apk
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
and you save your BuddiesNow app!
Try it and let me know!
Simple

Too boring!

Great, you did it!
I love these things
Here are some Information I know:
HelNeue (Removed) Info ? - yes it's just a lettertype.
Mtpapp (Removed) Info ? - No, its for the usb connection!
Tts (Removed) Info? - maybe, its voice recognition.
wipereceiver (Removed) Info ? - yes, its from samsung.
the others I don't know that well.
check out this: https://spreadsheets.google.com/spr...SENVeXlqUm5vV0E&single=true&gid=0&output=html
and www.tinyurl.com/safetoremove

mount -o rw,remount -t yaffs2, /dev/block/mtdblock /system
May I ask why you are doing this in the script?

Wasn't it better renaming them to .bak so they could be easily restored? Or even moving them out of /system/apps

[SCRIPT] Bloatware removal for Kitchen..

Sup folks, so I've been downloading different ROMs and making some adjustments to it for my liking.
In the process, I wrote a Linux/Mac shell script to remove the bloatware that I thought it's safe to remove. This is really helpful (I thought) when you are cooking different ROM and just don't want to do the bloatware removal manually.
Some background on how to use this:
1. Rename the removebloat.sh.txt to removebloat.sh, and do a chmod 755 if needed be.
2. Copy both files to your kitchen root folder.
3. Extract ROM of your choice via the kitchen.
4. Execute the removebloat.sh
Removebloat will look at the bloat.txt and remove everything from the WORKING_XXXX/system/app/ folder.
To *NOT* remove the app, simply remove the entry from bloat.txt.

Is there a way to use this once you have the rom installed

You can use it but you have to mod it to look for them in the phone instead...might be some work but doable. Let me take a crack at it to see if it works.
Also, this isn't PERFECTLY compatible with the OTA, so if users are using a dump of the latest ota, the apk names are slightly different i believe. Takes two seconds of modifying, no big. But this script has potential, im definetely using it in BRP CF (new rom), i'll give credit

'(GUIDE) Backup System Apps for Noobs

It`s very important, that you make a Backup of your System Apps, before you play around with/delete Them. A very easy Way, in my Opinion, is to use the Flashtool. get it here:
http://androxyde.github.com/Flashtool/
CREDITS for this great Flashtool goes to: Bin4ry and Androxyde
Now root your Device by using this Guide:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=10881307&postcount=5
(you`ll find also Guides for:clean SE Junk/ Costumize/ Optimize there)
CREDITS for this guide go to: Crowds
Now you should see this: (see the first attached Pic)
1. get SU rights:
2. press under Advanced -> Backup System Apps
well done! you juste have backuped your System Apps
3.To flash them all again, press APK Installer, select the Source Folder, flash.
if you need only some apk`s, you`ll find them in the Folder: Flashtool-> custom-> apps_saved
this works with deodexed and odexed ROMS !!!
if you Backup your system Apps from a Odexed Rom,
the apk AND the odex file will be saved. (see second attached Pic)
if you don`t know what deodexed/odexed means, here a short explenation from ranjan.alva (Thank him):
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=21366939&postcount=1
And if the rom is Odexed?
Great tip. I usually use SystemApp Remover or Titanium Backup. Will try this.
@ ChavitoArg
I think, you should backup your System Apps when you are the next Time on Original SE. Then you will have ALL Apk's .

nice! thx for the tip, I hated to use titanium backup, too slow... as a regular rom flasher its useful to know this trick, thx again

You did not understand what i say, you know what is odexed?
@ Chavito Arg
I know what odexed means my friend and if i didn`t, we live in a World with Google and Wikipedia . But i have really no experience on this issue. So report us of your knowledge.

If a rom is odexed, like MiniCM. the system apps are EXAMPLEAPP.apk and EXAMPLEAPP.odex , has two files for each app. and the odex file is heavier than the apk, if you delete just the apk you are noth deleting the odex file, and no saving any space. I hope you understand me
get it chavito ...
Edit:
this works also with odexed ROMS !!!
if you Backup your system Apps from a Odexed Rom,
the apk AND the odex file will be saved. (see attached Pic)

Does that mean you don't know where flashtool is actually installed on your system?
If you know in which folder Flashtool is located you should still have a /custom subfolder with an /apps_saved folder in there.
A simple search for custom on your filesystem may already yield the correct folder.

ok, got it! under mac it is saved within the flashtool.app itself- you get access via "show package contents" and eventually you will find a folder according to your build which contains all the .apk etc.

[Q] Removing unwanted apps from OS

Hi Everyone!
Great Work everyone. Keeping this forum alive helps a lot of novices like me.
I was looking for info about removing unwanted apps from the ".zip" file used for ROM installation.
I found this as an alternative, using root+Titanium to uninstall the unwanted apps.
My question:
" By removing the specific .apk and odex files from system/app folder will I be able to get rid of this unwanted applications? Also will this affect the performance of OS by anyway? Is it possible that phone might be bricked ? (not recoverable even using KDZ or re-flashing) "
I'm using a LG P500 with mik_OS [stable:6.5.8,testing:6.6.1] CyanogenMod 7.1.0 (Android 2.3.7) ROM on my mobile.
P.S: mik_OS ROM is clean and thin, but still this question/possibility kept buzzing me.
Refer this link about apps which can be removed from CM7
http://wiki.cyanogenmod.com/wiki/Barebones
Read the description carefully before you uninstall the apk using Titanium..
Please hit the thanks button if i helped you
Thanks

Yes it helped. Thanks for the help. Hands up...
But what happens if i just delete an odex/apk file from "system/app" folder?
Curiosity continues...
You delete an odex - the app wont work
You delete apk - app gone forever and odex file does nothing
