If you haven't already, you should update your bootloader and modem using this thread.
UPDATE 04-04-15
EDIT2: no longer available
EDIT: Clock package was not removed. Please use Play Store replacements for essential functions (Chrome, QuickPic, Google Camera, etc). There are other changes as well, such as just reducing the size of the file by removing unused system libraries. If you would like the QuickConnect and S-Finder buttons gone, I believe there are xposed mods for it.
Recovery-Flashable Zip (*NOTE: YOU MUST FLASH SUPERSU AFTER FLASHING ONE OF THESE)
Please check http://forum.xda-developers.com/tmobile-galaxy-s5/development/testing-debloated-dob1-rom-t3077507
Both of the Flashable Zips are Odexed, and the Slim Rooted one comes with the Calculator, and Calendar Sync for Google. There are still apps to be removed, and this is in progress. GPS and Maps is working.
Two backups are provided, one of them is about 2.2GB (after extraction), and it contains the full stock rom, with nothing removed, including Knox. The second is about 1.1GB (after extraction), and it contains heavily de-bloated and rooted rom, with everything from this thread removed (but not NFC), and also Knox. A few other things are also removed, but nothing essential.
EDIT: Backups no longer available.

I'm currently unable to convert a TWRP backup into a recovery flashable zip (I'm using instructions from here), so for the moment, only the backup itself will be available.

By "stock" do you mean odexed then? Good to have you aboard!

cool. so we should download the TWRP back-up of our choice, place it in our TWRP back-up folder, boot into TWRP recovery, and restore that nandroid?
Flashed this over my previous install and it works perfectly. Only wiped boot and system partitions. Thanks.

Yes. That's what I did.
Any more feedback on this? This is exactly what I've been looking for. For the most part I debloated the rooted version of the stock install myself as I prefer the smoothness of odexed roms. But I'd love to try this rom out, thank you for putting this together!
I'm curious about gps performance and if Screencast works. I love sharing my screen with my roku, but since flashing ktoons kernel I seem to have lost that ability, even flashed back to stock kernel and still had same prob. Anyone out there who can conform it works on this rom?

The debloated version works perfectly with my Roku.
Nice! I don't have the targets to test whether or not Screencast works or not. GPS performance will be comparable to the Stock ROM. I believe that it includes A-GPS, but I'll have to recheck Samsung's specification to be sure.
Great StockROM!
I'm having some issues, please can somebody confirm if it's only me:
1) Google Calendar is not syncing. I think we need Samsung' calendar to work.
2) Google Maps FC

Thanks for testing it, I'm currently in the process of testing a Recovery Flashable Zip, and this time, I'll add in the calendar syncing app. I had removed it in the previous releases (called "GoogleCalendarSyncAdapter"), so not syncing was intended. Is the Maps you're talking about something you downloaded from the Play Store or was it included (it shouldn't be, just making sure)? I'm not really sure what would be causing the FC with a Play Store release, but I'll look into it soon.
Hello,
I thought Google maps was restored from titanium but I even downloaded from play store and still FC.
Also, I know this is a very lite ROM but if possible please add calculator lol... I feel weird downloading a calculator from store

Google calendar won't sync on the lite version, missing some files, something like calendarupdater. It works fine on the full version.

I modified the CM7 gapps file with some of the available fixes for those running Honeycomb on their Nook Colors.
Here's what's inside
- Installs the su files Chhaggerty posted found here to provide root access for apps like Root Explorer.
- Pushes the Cicada's wpa_supplicant fix that allows AdHoc Wifi support
- Install both "/system/framework/com.google.android.maps.jar" and "/system/etc/permissions/com.google.android.maps.xml." Both are needed to install the Twitter app for Android.
-Fixed FC Gallery.

Thanks a million for this one, I have my r/w permissions back in Root Explorer!! As I'm still a noob at all this I haven't been able to get adb working so this is a huge help with the HC build.
Thanks again!!
P.S. This also completely removed my gmaps as one other comment mentioned. I haven't checked to see if I can find it on the market however. As far as I'm concerned it's worth the trade though!!

In my post above I hadn't really spent much time with the nook after installing your file and wanted to report that it also removed gmail and borked the market. I tried to clear the cache, etc. with no luck so I just wiped the nook and went back to a clean install of the hc emmc v4.
Would you be able to put a version of this up that just has the scripts for the root access and the adhoc wifi? It would be greatly appreciated!!
Thanks again.
Is anyone able to get Google Maps to locate via Wifi using these files?

Confirmed. I tried to download a copy from market and it just FCs. Sorry about that. I was able to get gmail working by pushing a back up copy of the gmail.apk into my /system/app folder. I try to work on a fix tonight.
Not sure all the permissions are 100% correct, but if you put all the files in a single location, this is the script I've been using to install them on SDCard based installs of Honeycomb v4.
EDIT: Removed script, new one is on Page 3.
so i already had maps installed and it doesn't work now. honestly don't know if it worked before. LOL. i didn't install it myself, so i never fired it up. anyway, tested it out and i get the following FC:

I deleted it and repushed it and it worked.

This worked great. The script ran with no errors or other problems. Gmail, talk and gallery all look good, but Maps is nowhere to be found, either on the Nook or in the market.
Any idea how I can pick it up? There's no maps APK that I can see anywhere on the device.
Like this, and appreciate the work, but out of my greedyness I shall ask for more; any chance that a modified build.prop or fix for not seeing apps (angrybirds,xplane,etc) could be included in an update?

Thanks for this! Works great, feels more fluid... Except doesn't seem to fix the touchscreen deadzones that occur intermittently (but of course that's for Samsung to take care of)
How this update should be installed? Adb?
Edit. Sorry, never mind, this is for N5100 but I have N5100. Waiting for new version for my device.
I am interested in loading this rom on my wife's tablet. I have been flashing rom's on my Motorola Phones for years now and am very comfortable doing so, but a real Novice when it comes to Samsung.
I am on 4.1.2, insecure loader. I have tried both CWM and TWRP recoveries and can use either. I have also used Odin as well.
Question, do I need to wipe data first, and how do I load this rom onto a Samsung Device.
Sorry for the trouble, but I am a fast learner and will be on board soon (I hope)

Since this is an OS upgrade (4.1.2 to 4.2.2) a data wipe is highly suggested. Frankly, I would suggest wiping system, data, cache and dalvik just for good measure. If she wants to keep a lot of the apps' progress/settings she has, I would install Titanium Backup and back up all user apps first before doing anything. She may have everything synced with her Google account as I believe you can sync apps and their data through Google now, but I haven't tested it yet.
To install the ROM, you'd just need to put it somewhere locally on your tablet, I have a '000Flash' folder on the root of my internal SD storage for any ROMs/kernels/modems (on my phone), etc. Place it in there, then get yourself into recovery. Once in recovery, wipe everything I mentioned above, then go back to the install/flash option of whatever recovery you're using. Flash the .zip file you just downloaded and put locally on your tab. Wait a few minutes and boot her up!
Just make sure you have the right software for the right version tablet you have, N5110 vs N5100.

Also you will need to have CWM or TWRP installed as a custom recovery for it to work. There are plenty of options for installing and the new versions that are non touch should fix any issues uyou had previously. Happy flashing!

I'm all rooted and running the ROM...
This ROM definitely needs a little TLC...
How about putting a list of requests together so maybe we have an Idea of what we can expect?
Here is a thread for customizing this ROM!!!
Here is a link to the Google Edition 4.3 Camera
This works I have it installed. and it is pretty sweet. (even on a 5mp Camera)
I installed xposed framework today and it works well on this ROM. Has anyone else tried this?
You can go here for other mods to add to it...
After you have the Xposed frame work installed you can install the app_settings see attachments, to modify the per app DPI settings.
example, you open up app settings go to gmail, set the dpi to 160 & screen (dp): 1000x1600
I did this for System settings as well and they look nice.
Play around with it and we can build on it...
You can find other mods that you can see if they work and build a list in a new thread. REMEMBER TO BACK UP FIRST!
Ge the disabler in attachments to flash in case you get into a boot loop. These work well since this is a stock ROM.
NottachXposed works very nicely for this ROM... You just have to play with it a little bit, but you can tweak it out nicely...
Don't forget to grab the Multi-Window Manager over in the Themes and app section. It works Great Without any flaws so far...!
If you need a 3-way reboot menu, here is an excellent app here for that...
Knock it Off Please
OK, please stop with all the "bad-mouthing" and "trolling" and... the "Off-Topic" posts. You know the rules, especially in the Dev Forum.

OMEGA v19
FIGURED WITH INDIE RELEASING HIS 4.4 LEAKED ROM I had better let you guys enjoy it a bit before the v20 4.4 and an unloked bootloader port heh, joking probably wont see her for a bit boys and girls so enjoy what you can while you have it. btw thats 4.4 that triggers knox but ima try it later since I've triggered it messing with SS trying to get zips working for people over last cpl weeks... im sure well see 4.4 tw soon enough til then enjoy.
This is a follow up to my v18 ROM any problems or issues try first searching that thread for info then post issue or problem herein v19's thread please.. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2591648
thanks testers of my original port v18. of course ...indie... genius and the rest of the omega crew. thx ppls
like all my new roms this is multicarrier friendly meaning you might have to flash your modules and possibly modem and apns to get full service but its very easy to do and nearly all files possibly needed for this conversion are available at http://www.androidfilehost.com/?w=devices&uid=23269279319201630 along with various other mods and rom ports.
Installing is straight forward: zip is for slots 1-420 and the restorable install is for any slot including STOCK!!!
And this wont hurt your phone or leave incompatability issues like other SS roms may have done. Plz post problems issues here not on indies or any other omega forum. Thanks must be given to indie and anyone he says I just ported this one was the easiest one I've done and has been 100% successful for everyone I personally installed for. Be sure to +thank me or indie or Download another rom.
Install by running zip from Safestrap or TWRP. Untested on CWM. After installing if not a MK2 VZW user you will have to flash your Safestrap modules and modem and apn if all else fails. This installs the best on a fresh rom slot ie newly created / blank.
Zip DL:
http://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=23311191640114279
SS RESTORE DL:
http://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=23269279319202601
Install: unzip the backup files in the zip to a folder like /TWRP/backupsi/141fa3db/ndie-Omega19bygogolie no matter where the files need to be one level in a directory named something and your TWRP/SS backup directory needs to read from that location if you cant figure this out you probably should not be installing a custom anything. Once files are where you want them pop into SS/TWRP and restore these to any slots butt even STOCK. yay ok bed time ill update and make pretty maybe later.
I HIGHLY RECOMMEND USING THE RESTORE VERSION OVER THE ZIP. PERSONALLY I THINK ITS SAFER MORE COMPATIBLE WITH ALL PHONES WITH 3.7+
hi haters.
thx wip testers and omega crew clans. thx again hashc0de and surge ur my heroes your works been a godsend

Hey man one thing i've noticed with this rom (both SS and zip options) as well as your other rom M1A3, Wifi seems to have trouble maintaining a stable connection. It tends to drop off and i find myself having to toggle it every so often.
The other issue is also with wifi, when i try to connect to an access point using 2 phase authentication (WAP + PEAP) it will accept the credentials, pass verification but never receive the IP address. It then just bounces back and forth between scanning for wifi networks and trying to obtain an IP address from the access point....which kills the battery.
I can connect to the very same access point from the stock rom.
I've tried flashing the modules, replacing the modules with the ones from the stock rom, as well as replacing the wap_config.conf file from the working rom slot. no go
Hopefully you can clue me into a fix. Im on MJ7, I have seen this problem come back after i re-flashed my image with Odin. its definitely related to these roms in particular
Other than that i really like both of these roms. the gold theme on M1A3 is pretty cool too
+1 using foxhound. I love that ROM but am having the same problems as above. Won't connect to work network and keeps searching and obtaining IP address but never connects and kills battery. Used data on way home for maps and signal said 4g but Google said not connected had to switch back to stock and all was fine...shame cause I love foxhound.... Using ss 3.71 on MK2

So the first fix didnt change anything unfortunately. Flashed the second zip and on reboot had a ton of FC errors and couldn't even unlock the screen. Restarted again and it was pretty much soft bricked...had to restore from backup.
Flashed zip in twrp, loaded great no serious problems. Only issue is that it keeps trying to encrypt my SD card. I am concerned about losing data. Please advise how to stop encr. I have been rebooting and took out card. Any suggestions? Thanks.

I thought it would be helpful to share my post from the Foxhound thread on installation of Omega on MDK http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=49744674
[ROM]Foxhound Diamond Dogs 3.6 TW-4.3-MK2/AnyCarrier-SS-KNOXfree-CLEAN-FAST-THEMED
Gigilie, I would be happy to walk through Omega instillation on MDK. It's very easy.
Before you start make sure you downloaded Omega. v. 19. I used the .zip version and reccomend flashing .zip for all MDK recovery based installs. Also dl the most current ktoonsz 4.3 tw kernel. The version in Omega did not work well and a fresh install is best. Also dl any mods you like, such as those you might use with HD or other 4.3 TW roms.
1. Using recovery, I use TWRP 2.6.3, be sure to make a back up nandroid of your current rom.
2. Wipe. A full factory wipe is best.
3. Flash Omega v. 19 and the new ktz kernel and wipe cache and Calvin for good measure (not absolutely necessary).
4. Reboot, set up and give the rom some time to set up and load your backuped apps from the playstore.
5. Go back to recovery and flash your mods.
If you are brave or foolish, restore only the data from your 4.3 or 4.2 TW Nandroid.
If you start getting fc's then wipe data, and reload your data and apps manually from the playstore and or from Ti backup. I found that data from my HD 12 Nandroid was compatible with Omega. I was using the S4 UI in HD v. 12, not the Note 3 UI; and data from other setups may not play well with Omega v.19.
That's it. Easy peasy. Have fun!

OMEGA v19
FIGURED WITH INDIE RELEASING HIS 4.4 LEAKED ROM I had better let you guys enjoy it a bit before the v20 4.4 and an unloked bootloader port heh, joking probably wont see her for a bit boys and girls so enjoy what you can while you have it. btw thats 4.4 that triggers knox but ima try it later since I've triggered it messing with SS trying to get zips working for people over last cpl weeks... im sure well see 4.4 tw soon enough til then enjoy.
This is a follow up to my v18 ROM any problems or issues try first searching that thread for info then post issue or problem herein v19's thread please.. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2591648
thanks testers of my original port v18. of course ...indie... genius and the rest of the omega crew. thx ppls
like all my new roms this is multicarrier friendly meaning you might have to flash your modules and possibly modem and apns to get full service but its very easy to do and nearly all files possibly needed for this conversion are available at http://www.androidfilehost.com/?w=devices&uid=23269279319201630 along with various other mods and rom ports.
Installing is straight forward: zip is for slots 1-420 and the restorable install is for any slot including STOCK!!!
And this wont hurt your phone or leave incompatability issues like other SS roms may have done. Plz post problems issues here not on indies or any other omega forum. Thanks must be given to indie and anyone he says I just ported this one was the easiest one I've done and has been 100% successful for everyone I personally installed for. Be sure to +thank me or indie or Download another rom.
Install by running zip from Safestrap or TWRP. Untested on CWM. After installing if not a MK2 VZW user you will have to flash your Safestrap modules and modem and apn if all else fails. This installs the best on a fresh rom slot ie newly created / blank.
Zip DL:
http://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=23311191640114279
SS RESTORE DL:
http://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=23269279319202601
Install: unzip the backup files in the zip to a folder like /TWRP/backupsi/141fa3db/ndie-Omega19bygogolie no matter where the files need to be one level in a directory named something and your TWRP/SS backup directory needs to read from that location if you cant figure this out you probably should not be installing a custom anything. Once files are where you want them pop into SS/TWRP and restore these to any slots butt even STOCK. yay ok bed time ill update and make pretty maybe later.
I HIGHLY RECOMMEND USING THE RESTORE VERSION OVER THE ZIP. PERSONALLY I THINK ITS SAFER MORE COMPATIBLE WITH ALL PHONES WITH 3.7+
hi haters.
thx wip testers and omega crew clans. thx again hashc0de and surge ur my heroes your works been a godsend

Failed due to "no partition selected." I noticed on second try that the usual check box partition options was blank. I tried mounting all the partitions to no avail. Please help--thanks
Edit: I forgot to mention it is the Restore version.
I have a Note 2 (obviously), and I have rooted my phone the first day I got it and have never updated the phone since I purchased it. So, I am still on 4.1.2. My phone has been super laggy and I want to take the oppurtunity the when I reset my phone that I can take advatages of the new features that mobile phones have by upgrading all the way to 5.1.x.
So, I downloaded CM 12.1 by wilson3q with 5.1 system. I first tried the 5.0 version since the 5.1 looked too new, and did not have time to deal with the bugs. When I flashed the 5.0 version, I got errors of not being able to flash gapps for 5.0 and that I lost my root. I tried downloading the new TWRP to see if I can get a newer version that would work better, but no luck. I got an error saying that I lost my root privileges and did I want TWRP to fix it. I slid yes to fix, but no luck.
The same problem occurred when I tried with 5.1.
So, I ended up restoring my nandroid backup and I am back on 4.1.2 again with root working again.
I am thinking that I am probably supposed to 'step up' the updates, but not sure. Does anyone have a solution or a link to the solution that they can help with?
PS: I did not like the camera that came with the new mod. I do like the stock one. Are there flashes of cameras that I can use as well when I do end up upgrading?
Thank you in advance!!!

I assume that you are giving steps in order, BUT I feel that I should flash the radio to 4.4.2 first, in which the link was broken. I have spent a couple hours trying to find another link, but I am afraid that I may be using an incorrect one. Do you have a good link for that, please?
Also, I have ready the newest Samsung 3.10 Odin downloaded and installed, as well as the USB driver installed and downloaded the ADB fastboot. If I remember correctly, I am supposed to move this onto C: and run it to access the device (Note 2). It has been since Android first came out since I have used the ADB though. So, I apologize for the ignorance. So, do I just make sure the adb is in the same directory and run Odin or did I not need ADB and just run Odin?
I also assume that I run the Philz touch after I have gotten to 4.4.2 rooted first. Am I correct by assuming that?

Yes, I have done a cache/dalvik wipe a few times (because I have tried reflashing to get it to work with no luck).
I have downloaded the .zip version of superSU as well, and gapps minimal 5.1 with wilson3q's 5.1 ROM. So, I am almost ready to go with the exception of the correct radio upgrade file.
Thank you so much for your help!!! Much appreciated!
PS Will my old WifiTether apk files still work with 5.1 or do I need to get a new one?
Thanks Again!

Just flash philz from twrp. Reboot recovery wipe/reset... then flash new ROM gaaps... Wipe/reset... Then reboot.
I can post the radio zip to my site later tonight. I believe you can flash that last, or later (from philz cwm, after getting on cm12.1)
Same as superSU. Check out ROM first. It comes with root that can be enabled in developer options. you can always reboot to recovery later and flash the zip.
PS. WiFi tether built into ROM "hotspot" (no VZW subscription required)
Pps try this for the nd7 radios

Sorry to bother you, but I still am getting errors with Failed root access for Titanium Backup Pro. I also cannot find Developer Options in the settings menu.
I have tried flashing the radio before and after wiping and installing the ROM then gapps then superSU. I get into superSU and it asks me for root access and I grant it, but Titanium Backup Pro still says that it has no root access.
Any ideas? Thank YOU!!

with SuperSU installed, you may need to just need to update binaries. open SuperSU and it should prompt you if necessary. the "normal" option should work (no need to flash from recovery)
for TiBu...
--within SuperSU settings you may need to disable (uncheck) "mount name separation".
--You may also have to enable unknown sources (under settings, security).
-- there might be something to enable for USB debugging as well (TIBU should prompt for it)
FWIW, you can restore user apps/data... but I would not attempt to restore any system data. Personally, I have found it best to get to know a fresh ROM for a while before trying to restore crap from an older ROM . there might be value in re-configuring apps manually and/or restoring them one at a time (after making sure the ROM is working properly) i.e. you won't need any of those aforementioned WiFi tether apps since it is built into the ROM now.
Instructions on enabling developer options in CM ROM, from here: http://wiki.cyanogenmod.org/w/Doc:_developer_options
1- In the Settings app, select About Phone (or About Tablet).
2- Scroll down, and tap the Build number entry seven times. On the seventh tap, you will be notified that "You are now a developer."
3- Return back to the main Settings menu. Developer options and Performance entries should now be visible.

(that is likely how to enable superuser that is "baked" into the rom, given you already installed SuperSU it may only complicate matters)
You may be rooted and just having TiBu issues. If all else fails you can check with an app. A long time ago, I've used "Simple Root Checker" by SimoneDev to check root/busybox. It is still in the play store.
Good Luck!

Thank you! It ended up being my version of Titanium Backup. I downloaded a new version and it is good. As far as restoring is concerned, I do not even want the apps themselves restored from there, because there may be a new version and would like a fresh install of those apps. I just want my data restored. For example, I have a surveillance software that I would just like to restore the entries (IP's usernames and passwords). I would like my email settings to be there, so that I do not have to re setup my 7 email addresses. My Text/SMS messages and my alarms. So, I am not trying to do a full restore.
On another note, I am trying to get my calendars back into my phone with no luck. I cannot install google calendar and get my google calendars to populate into my task widget, and the ROM is not letting me set up my POP email addresses. Also, I see no ringtones, so I have no ringers to ring my phone nor tones for my alarm clock. I flashed gapps for 5.1 and I see nothing extra from the ROM. I thought gapps was google apps. Am I trying to do stuff differently than you? There seems to be a few problems in that manner that I am trying to work with.
I am thinking of downgrading to 5.0. Maybe the 5.1 is too new?
Again, THANK YOU for your help!

I wouldn't downgrade, nobody is actively working on 5.0.2 anymore.... that thread is basically dead. Also, it is likely less "stable"/mature than what you have installed now (that is currently being maintained). i.e. you have the ROM that I would stick with.
like I said I wouldn't restore any thing into system (apps or data)... you can do whatever you please. (but it could be causing you more issues than just biting the bullet & configuring manually) i.e. restoring accounts might result in unanticipated issues, you came from a much older version of android.
all I had to do was install google calendar from play store and then the CM12 calendar stuff all worked (I might have had to restart and/or install the google calendar prior to setting up primary gmail). you might need to remove all your accounts and load them again (a factory reset might be faster though.)
also you might have to update google services and the play store before certain things "play nice".
I know you don't want to hear this but...
from here on out i'll likely point to all your issues being based on restoring system data. (based on my limited knowledge and personal experience). FWIW, I'd try to reconfigure/setup everything manually and you will likely have much better results.

I figured that, and feared that and the same time. So, what am I flashing onto the phone with gapps then? Also, one of the reasons I was wanting to go back was because there are a few apps that are not 'compatible' with this system. Meanwhile, I am going to wipe and reset again, and do what you suggested and just reconfigure.
Thanks again!

GAaps are the google apps... good read:
http://wiki.rootzwiki.com/Google_Apps
(hopefully I am not out of line for posting a link to that wiki)
many ROMS like CM don't' include gaaps due to licencing/legal issues. which is why the AOSP roms devs often have you flash the GAAPS package separately (also you can pick your package for your fact pattern... full gaaps/minimal gaaps/etc.).
Also the gaaps zip files you flash from recovery install the files into system. a lot of folks like the minimal editions of GAaps because it doesn't force all the apps into system. instead it just gets you up and running with the play store and a few essentials... that lets the user install all the other google apps as user apps, from the play store.
basically taking the "debloat" mentality as far as you can... keep stuff out of system and let the user decide what to install.
Long story short, this is a zip to debloat your S8 and probably other Samsung devices. Please modify it to suit your firmware. *As long as your rom is from Samsung, regardless of nougat or oreo, most of the package names should be the same thus this zip should still remove quite a lot of them by default, you will need some minor edits to match your rom perfectly though.
The attached zip is what I'm currently using, there's something that I had commented out because I use that feature and never tried disabling it. Please feel free to experiment with it and modify the script as per your need. However, do pay close attention to some of the lines as activating them will cause your phone fail to boot.
If you had any error or knowledge about what certain file does, please provide feedback so that we can improve this script. The ultimate goal is to know what we can stripe off from TouchWiz ROM until close AOSP state without breaking features that we use, that includes .apk files, files of any format and even related lines in build.prop.
Also, for anyone who wishes to use this script in any way, please feel free to do so. No need to inform or give credit.
Since I do not backup my file before testing, I'm using Github to do this for me. The most updated version will be on Github.
For more information please visit Github.

And some files that IDK what they do/what will happen after removal
Over hundred of apk files will be removed.
Theme center and Samsung account will also be removed, if you want to use theme, please comment them out before flashing.
They can be removed after you applied your theme and will stick after reboot. This is what I did too.
How do i add themestore and remove it after applying theme? Also, flash in twrp?
Got it working nvm. Awesome work!
I'm on AQGL and used Flashfire but the script doesn't seem to work. I updated the script to reflect the boot device as /dev/block/platform/soc/1da4000.ufshc/by-name/system but that didn't work either. Any other hints or suggestions?
TIA.

I do expect people here to experiment with it, as I said in Github this is not (completely) noob-friendly.
You can cross check the script with your ROM, majority of the Samsung preloaded app will be the same, the difference usually is carrier apps. Maybe I shouldn't mention that I'm using AQL5.
XDA developer yeah, not XDA noobs.

It's an app that flashes zip files similar to TWRP. I have the snapdragon 955u variant so cant use twrp since the bootloader is locked. I do have root though.

I see, good to know. Im using an exynos version so cant really figure that out.
You can even delete folder/file one by one by using terminal/root explorer according to my updater-script, that shouldn't make much of a difference.
Will this work on oreo zra5? Actually tried flashing this but it didnt remove anything at all
I personally use the Package Disabler because I'm not that worried about space but the script helped me extremely on what to disable. Very helpful. (also on aql5 btw)

That's weird, it should be able to delete what nougat and oreo have in common and there's quite a few.

System space is quite useless, but it makes people like me feel better when useless stuff is actually gotten rid of.
Plus it is able to remove files, that's beyond the ability of package disabler.

Im using stock aql5, how do you define 'work' tho?
EDIT: This zip basically removes stuff, so if your ROM contains the stuff that match the updater-script, it gets removed. Nothing magic happening here.

This script doesn't remove the function that allows you to draw on your screenshot cause I'm using that too, one of the actually handy feature added by Samsung...
The reboot part, I'm not sure. Somehow when I try to add back apks directly to system via explorer, my /data partition gets corrupted with
Code:
persist.security.tlc.otp structure needs cleaning
in TWRP, only format data fixes this, and this happened to me twice so I'd recommend you to flash them in instead using the rescue zip template I provided in Github.
The script is really good, I just read it line by line but since I see some issues reported for some people I prefer to try it out later
Edit: i was thinking on replace all Samsung needed apps with Google ones like phone and dialer, anyone knows a port from those?
