stripping a rom? - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

hi,
i want to use my old SE Xperia ray as digital filo and need only basic funtions like
- the ability to install something calender app and live wallpaper
- wlan
- sync
what is save to remove from roms?

First of all, I don't really know what you mean by "digital filo", like a digital agenda or something like that? Either way, whatever you're going to do with it, choose what kind of applications you think you will need. If you will use it as a digital agenda you can rip the camera application, the browser, any music application, social media application(s) etc. This post might be able to help you to determine which applications are safe to remove.
How you remove the applications can be done in different ways, you could use a file explorer with root, you could use ADB, you could modify a ROM (ie. delete the files you won't need) and then flash it. Either way I'd recommend you to make a either a full backup of your system (Nandroid) or backup the application itself before deleting it.
Note: when deleting an application, also write down the permissions the file had.
I hope I've helped you in some way!

this is clear but which files must stay on device. is it nesseary to have modem when i only use WLAN......
i´ll have a closer look into the link you provided.
filo... it`s short for filofax

Thank you for the link explaining what filo meant, I Googled "filo" and didn't get any useful results, so thanks!
Other than that, the modem itself is necessary, because it doesn't only control the GSM radio, but also the WLAN radio. You're better off leaving such things and use the phone in airplane mode I think. You basically should be able to remove any application you want, just make sure you leave a launcher there and framework-res.apk (so you'll be able to use the phone) and of course any other applications that are of good use to you. Then again, take a look at the link I provided as it explains what each application does, I know it's not for the Xperia Ray but I think most of the applications will match the ones on the Ray.

sure it´s not for my ray but arc and ray are so close you can use most arc roms without problems on ray. :highfive:
then i will disable in TB all i think i can kill and see what happens.
thanks so far.

Jjdocter has already stripped a ROM down, I'll look it up for you

[Q] building a custom rom

Hi I'm new to the development scene, I am trying to strip down a rom to remove certain programs... actually everything but the web browser, firefox 5 and flash. I would also like to set a default background in the image and preset the wireless settings too. These are going to be put in an environment where we don't want them to be messed with. Is there an easy way of doing this? I was thinking the ASOP rom might be the best candidate to work with, but I don't know for sure. I ill be rolling out about 20 - 25 units in the next week or so. any help would be appreciated.
Thanks
Joe
Your best bet is really probably to use the latest stock ROM so you don't leave root access and google market in there. You could probably acomplish your roll out by setting up any rom the way you want it, then wiping cache and user data, and running a nand backup with CWM. Then use that backup to restore onto the other devices.
To remove system apps in a ROM you can use ADB from a PC, or you can root it with z4root and use Titanium Backup. Then remove root before the backup.
thanks for the info
Thanks a bunch! I will try that when they come in. If I clear out the user data will that wipe out the wifi settings? To remove programs via ADB I still would need to be rooted correct?
Thanks
Joe
Yes clearing data will wipe wifi settings. I have never tried ADB on an unrooted device. You should jsut be able to activate debug usb and have it work jsut fine. But you can root with z4root and then UNroot with z4root when you are done with doing your root things (but befor eyou make a nand image).
Just search for z4root.apk
removing special apps
I'm having trouble removing the facebook app, youtube app and the gmarket app. any tips? I cant find them in the titanium backup app. any tips on removing these? getting rid of these apps is of the up-most importance. - these will be installed in an environment where we do not want people to have access to these apps. an help would be appreciated.
Thanks

They are installed as system apps. You would need to use something like SystemApp Remover to remove them (it can also backup the system aps incase you want to reinstall and also convert nonsystem apps to system apps). But, you do realize that there are other places for users to get apps to install than Market and you can still reach Facebook & Youtube via the browser once the google apps are removed!!!!
Hmm
I tried the system app remover they do not seem to be listed there It looks like they are short cuts to web pages, at this point I would settle just for hiding them, do you know if it possible to hide those. I am using the factory build on the 1.2 tree.
Thanks
Joe
Use the instructions posted here on the CyanogenMod Wiki to get rid of whatever you want.
And, there's really no need to use things like z4root on the gTablet. You can get root without that. In fact, if you can connect to the tablet using adb, then you're already root. The gTab is not like a locked-down phone.

I do believe you are correct...the stock TapNTap had the ability to save Web Links as Icons on the home screen. Not running stock and don't remember if there is a way to remove them.
z4root is handy to gain root and install busybox/superuser without having to set up adb though.

[Q] Security, encryption etc.

Hi guys,
I've been doing lots of searching but I still don't have a clear idea bout Android security. Many of the threads I found are too old and may not be valid anymore. I have a Mini Pro - SK17i and wish to:
1) remove Sony bloatware. Is it a good way to use DoomLoRD's root method and use SystemApp remover? Or just remove the offending .apk's manually? Or Titanium?
2) enable GPS without sending the 'anonymous usage statistics'. I find this incredibly offending. Also, what other statistics collection is there on this phone? There's some option in Sony settings. How to completely remove (not just disable) this?
3) encrypt the data, including on SD card, with a password. What's the best+safest way to do this?
4) the phone to lock itself with a password (which would also engage the encryption) if it's not in range of my Wi-Fi. Is it doable?
5) not grand every application every permission it requests on install. There are some apps on the market, like Permissons Denied and some firewalls. Do they work on XMP? Are they safe?
Thanks a lot in advance!

1.Titanium Backup is for me the easiest method.
2.I m sure it can be done in some custom ROMs.
I m currently on stock ICS so I m not sure.
3.http://lifehacker.com/5802279/is-the-data-on-my-androids-memory-card-safe-if-its-lost-or-stolen
4.I dont think so.The lock can only be time related (15",30" etc).
5.Google is your friend if you re not sure.
N.
Thanks.

Yeah that's kinda what I thought and it's pretty crap. What I want/need is to encrypt for example my email (K9 + GMail) and other stuff. Basically everything.
I'd much rather have something like in this thread. I've found other TrueCrypt-style mods/apps but they all seem to be either complicated or have their own problems. Why did Android devs pick the Linux kernel if they can't take advantage even of such simple (yet very important) things?
I think I'll try LUKS Manager when I get around to it.

[Q] LwW Rooting Issues

I have successfully rooted my Sony Xperia LwW (ICS 4.0.4 fw 4.1.B.0.587) using the DoomLord method. Everything is great. I can remove some stock Bloatware or apps that i don't use (using Root Explorer) & i did remove quite some apks. Although i had paid heed to some good advise to store the junk & not delete it. Hence i was moving the apks from /system/app/ to my sd card just to be safe.
The issues arised a little later.
1) My calendar widget that was showing Facebook synced Birthdays is now left completely Blank. I did try googling the issue but no solution. I correctly remember not having touched the FB Calendar sync apk. i also tried to check Xperia FB integration which is ON in performance assistant (ICS 4.0.4 fw 4.1.B.0.587) but still the issue remains.
2) The WALKMAN app lost all the library i.e. my Music. I had it updated in a while but it only updated from the Music folder on the SD card & not the Bluetooth & Downloads folder. i'm still clueless.
3) The Performance Assistant App that handles the FB Integration Force Closes on me.
There might be more issues but i'll post them as i find them during my use. My phone is in a working condition alongwith the issues. I hope Rooting is not a SIN. But there just might be some speed bumps on the way. So please assist me in any way you can. :good:
FYI: I'm a 90-95 % NooB so please be a little elaborative in your suggestions (if any on my problem). I'll update every info from my side.
Thanks. Peace Out.
i think you remove some part of them
try re-flash your firmware and root again , and be careful if you want to remove system application ,
ora maybe you can write down here every app that you've deleted , so we know whether they're important or not
App List
Here's the list of apps that i've moved. (in screenshots)

Looking at your screenshots that isn't what you've done if you've just moved the apks, if you not uninstalled or froze then you've left a lot of stuff on your Phone, so best advise is to reflash the ROM, root, install Titanium Backup or similar and freeze the apps, although tbh I would just uninstall all those in your screenshots.
Thanks for the Heads up !!

Thanks for the heads up. I installed an app yesterday called NoBloat Free from the play store. The reviews were good so i gave it a shot. Interestingly in the list of System Apps in NoBloat i did not find the apps i moved. So i believe the apps are indeed out of question.
Another thing i tried regarding my Library issue was to format my sd card (read it on Sony's Forum) and then copy all the content back to my phone. The thing worked but the media gallery backfired. My screenshots that i posted above are no more in my gallery. But when i viewed it from Astro File manager, they were there.
Could my sd card be a villain for all my problems ?
I guess performance assistance app has a connection with AppEnabler.apk
try this...

you are not supposed to fiddle with system unless you have a nandroid backup..
ok try this,i m not sure it might work...:fingers-crossed:
restore app enabler,3 fb apps,mediawidget,setupwizard and track id and then fix permissions,then reboot your phone..
btw can u tell me in detail how u rooted?,u downgraded,rooted and then upgraded right?,or you followed some other method?...post the link...

I believe it is just a change of name. When the OS is running the app is listed in the menu as performance assistance while in the /system/app it is called app enabler. Well that is from sony guys to help pace up the phone. So it is of little concern to me.

Here's the rooting link. Followed it point to point & successfully rooted:
Xperia 2011 Rooting Guide
Great actually but sometimes i think i messed up my phone.
Another weird thing happening is that my Wi-Fi when enabled on my phone does not connect to my router (although it has saved my router SSID & password). i have to go to airplane mod then disable airplane mode & then the Wi-Fi connects to the router. ANY INSIGHTS ?
Calendar Restored !!!
The app enabler didn't help... right !! So i went to Settings > Xperia > Facebook integration & kicked started the Calendar sync & VOILA its on track. So 1 problem less.
u can apply a walkman mod. it will solve issues with the walkman
what kind of a mod

Do you have the zip file of the ROM that you put on your phone? If so, you can edit the zip file using 7zip (find the apps folder) and flash that, making sure that the signature verify is turned off. This is how I used to do it on my phone, but have recently updated to using 4Ext and still finding my way around this app, but it's got app removal built in (I think).
Hope this helps :good:

Not at all, we all have to start somewhere. I'm not particularly technical myself so I will try and help as much as I can.
When you say you have rooted your phone, have you also install a custom ROM on your phone as well? To do this, you should have had a zip file that you used to flash the ROM to the phone.
I would create a copy of the ZIP file, in case you go wrong. Open up the ZIP file using 7zip (or something similar, I suggested this one as I know you can delete files from the zip file, but some other programs won't do this).
You show see two folders, click on system and then click on the app folder. You need to be careful in what you delete as it might force the phone to crash out (hence make a copy of the ZIP file, and have both of them on your phone). Simply delete the apps you don't want and then save and flash the ROM on your phone (you will need to turn off signature verify for it to work, but I'm not sure where there will be in your menu's as I don't know what recovery you are using, it's normally under "other").
Does this make anything more clearer?
If not, please explain exactly what you have done in terms of rooting and flashing a ROM.

In order to understand what it is that you want to archive, could you please tell me why you rooted your phone?
I ask as, unless you have a copy of the stock ROM, once you have flashed a ROM, you won't be able to go back to the original ROM. If you are happy to go ahead, I suggest you look around for ROM's that will work on your phone. Depending on what you want from a ROM (small size, quick loading or lots of gadgets and tweaks), you should be able to find one already working to how you would like. Some ROM's do not have any Google apps or YouTube and only have basic apps to run the phone (I had a ROM call Redux that was like this), other ROM's have many features (I've had a ROM called MIUI that was like this). If you find a ROM you like, it is better to leave the apps as they are.
I can try and help you with how to flash the ROM if you get stuck, but I did not use the superoneclick way.
As I said first, why do you want to remove apps?

Hmmmmmm, there are other things you could try if you are having issues with your phone.
I have an app called Autostarts and you can stop apps from booting when the phone is restarted or when other things happen (like a change in signal).
I also have another app called Battery Mix which is very good at finding out what apps are running and draining the battery or taking up CPU usage.
I also have another app called Quick System Info which you can set up so that when you click end tasks, it only ends tasks that you've selected (you put them on a supervise list), which is very handy if you have things like 3G monitoring or clocks that might crash if you kill them.
Maybe you need to root the phone in a different way. Try reading this

[SCRIPT] Nougat DEBLOAT Script

Samsung Nougat DEBLOAT script
Hello everyone,
Galaxy S6 comes with much more bloatware than most other phones, it has apps preinstalled that some of us probably will never use.
Some of those apps may even run at boot and consume RAM and CPU. For this purpose I made a small very effective script and that will remove huge amount of applications. This script works on de-odexed and odexed ROMs and you can use it even for Marshmallow ROMs, so this is ALL-IN-ONE solution.
I created the script when Nougat came out and I use it all the time without any problems.
* You can easily edit script and add character ' # ' to exclude certain APP from deleting *

You may want to keep YouTube. If you delete it then Google Play will crash if you click on a video. Still not a problem because you can always install it back from the market.
I strongly suggest that you keep one of the two browsers. Android must have at least one browser to function properly. Google Play also needs one browser. So either keep the samsung browser or chrome. Don't delete both at the same time.
If the device already upgraded chrome then your script will only delete the "rom" version of it, so everything will be ok and still working fine because the newer version resides in "ram". On a new/clean device, that will boot a rom for the very first time, and/or google play is not yet registered, deleting both browsers might cause problems.
Some programs are there to run only once at the very first boot, just to populate the file system with the default config values and data files/folders needed for the device to function. If a device had its first (long 5-10 minute) boot then deleting those is fine, always assuming you will not run a factory reset at some point in the future.
Other programs are there and run only if you dial specific codes at the dialer. The camera upgrade firmware or the wlan test for example. They don't run if they are not needed. A lot of debloat guides suggest that you remove those but i don't see a reason why.
You can always create some ScriptBackup/{app,priv-app} folders and move the bloatware apks there instead of deleting them. I would like to be able to bring back the QuickConnect and Gear apks back because i have a gear watch and a samsung tv for example.

Just edit the script to not delete those things.. even states how to do it in the O.P.
Bootloop on latest 7.0 - To see if one of the apps being removed is causing the bootloop I commented out all but a couple of apps (the Microsoft stubs) and tried that on a fresh install, but it still causes a bootloop.
I had the same problem... just look for this: Orel_MadK_Extreme_Debloater_V5_Final worked on my SM-G928F fresg Nougat install IMPORTANT: Dont tick one app for yourself...just leave it standard.
Works perfectly, even added all google apps so device runs better
Can we get this as a Aroma installer ?
