Hello all dev's,
I get really frustrated on most of the ROM's because I get always some applications that I cannot remove manually.
It can be a lot of applications in the "official Froyo+sense" ROM like plurk, Facebook, etc.. Amazon in CyanogenMod, or other stuffs in other ROMs.
Why the hell don't you automatically allow us to remove ALL non essential apps from the settings/applications/manage applications? I have seen that you are able to do that.
Is there a technological reason? Why do you move some applications and not all?
Is that a space matter? A performance or technological reason?
I feel really frustrated on each ROM because I have to always use "adb shell rm system/app/*.apk" and plug my device on the computer.
Please answer me.
Thanks.

Can't answer the question but good call.
personally I think all ROMS should come with Titanium backup and Rom Manager. but everything else should be user modifiable.
Profete162: you could open the zip prior to install and delete the apps you don't want then flash?
Exactly that - open the ZIP and remove what you don't want. It's the first thing I do with a new ROM and I also add what I do wanna use so it can't get deleted. Hell of a lot easier than adb

Yes, but it took maybe 10 minuts for maybe 2.000 users of the ROM or more if the ROM is Cyanogen.
It's a waste of 20.000 minuts for the world.. and we have to do that on each update.flash lol
When the dev with it's experience have only 2 minuts maybe to do that.
I understand that that's not a really big problem and the dev's have a lot of things to keep in mind, baut may be a good suggestion I hope for the next ROMS

The Devs have to cater for everyone. Some people need those apps and would ditch the ROM if they were removed. If you don't need them just open the zip and remove them. It's not as if it takes more than 2 minutes.
To be fair, this post is just highlighting your laziness to open up an zip manager and press delete a few times. Dev's have to cater for everyone, not just you.

That's exactly why I ask to Move all the apps in the deletable section. So easier work for the dev's and no complain!!!
That's a request that would fit everyone!

I want to delete them but allow to delete them. I think it's a fair question and you havn't understood the meaning of my request. I would like to add the possibility to remove them, just that.
I don't understand why question sound stupid to you!
The dev's are adding the old app2sd, spare parts, and some apps that it take 2 minuts to add too! So why my request is different from other?

Those 'non essential' apps are essential to some of us. So why take them out??
It's so much easier to remove apps than it is to add them back in. Just remove them from the zip file as said if you don't like them before you flash.
And why the attitude? Questions that start 'Why the hell ...' and statements like 'I'm so frustrated ....' Mate - get a grip. Relax. It's a phone. You can remove the apps and if not just ignore them.

The issue is that moving it into a user partition is then consuming valuable application space, and the spare space in /system is then effectively wasted.
If it's an issue, why not delete the apps from the zip yourself and then post your stripped down ROM, saving 19990 minutes!

Dave

You could always make your own roms, that way it would be catered to your needs
You are right, " you have just to make your own ROM" is the universal solution.
Sorry for my question/request, I was just looking for a solution to make the Rom more open without adding stuff.
Sorry for my post and have a good day.
You can let it go through the "forgotten posts"
I understand your request and must agree to some extent, it would be nice to have the apps a place where we can choose wheter to keep or not without having to use usb/computer or per delete every zip
But ofc just the non essential ones

U cant odex Apps in data Partition so it saves ALOT of space to store Apps (odexed) in system.

Few little facts an reasons why,
The andoid system its self depends on a lot of apps that are and should be stored in /system.
We cannot modify /system easily as HTC Locked write access to the /system partition. (we only have partial root access, this is why you guys are having issues with titanium)
apk.s in /data cannot be odexed in the same way and would use twice as much space if stored in /data.
hope this gives you a better understanding.. Dont flame the Devs
Can we please get this thread closed...
Anyway u can check out my Rom? Lols. I should be always be releasing 2 version of the rom for all of my updates if time let me.. 1 full 1 bare minimum lite version rom.

I didnt know it was that easy.
So on DeVillian quick office is already installed and is 5mb.
so do i just delete the apk from the zip and re flash?
If people demand it, I'll write an app to move files from data to system and backwards,
you'll basically be able to choose the app you want to move and then the phone reboots to recovery and moves the chosen apps to the destination you want it to be.
I even thought about odexing apps and removing the dex files from the apks.
So if people want it I'll probably start writing the code on sunday.

Try extracting the .zip, adding and removing apps is not that difficult; most of the .apk's are located in /data/app.

data/app is where you can put user-removable and other apps you want seperate from the system/app in a custom rom - has to be added to the rom itself like A2SD does.

Oh okay. So before trying my hands at developing a ROM I should try writing some apps first?
Edit: But my ROM Manager has a "Move to SD Card" button, which means it should be in /data/app?
Bump. Then do I need to be on a Linux environment? Any gurus can give some pointers to a newbie to the Android scene?
being on linux would be easier - knowledge of the OS would be better.
If you use Linux you can use dsixda's kitchen to sign and build the rom after youve finished adding removing, editing etc. It's going to be a case of trial and error, but you cant break the phone as long as you're using a rooted/su rom, without the HBOOT or radio in it. You might get a bootloop/freeze, or 57 force closes but you can always re-flash.

If you have never had ANY programming experience before I would reccomend learning another language first, before trying to learn Java. Try vb.net if you have Windows, learn that and you get the gist of how to programme, then install Linux Ubuntu or another distro, familiarize yourself with the Terminal command line, then go on to learn Java, then the Android SDK, then make some apps, then learn how to modify roms etc. The last thing you want is a bricked phone
Since I can't post in the developer section yet i'm asking here, hope it's ok. Been looking at the ROM for a few mins and it looks great, but i've been using MIUI for so long my flashing skills are kind of rusty.
First of all, the kernel is included in the ROM and is the one the developer recommends or have developed right?
And secondly, wich radio is recommended for the ROM? Could'nt find any answer to that in the first post dedicated to the ROM. Should i flash radio before or after i flash the ROM?
Again hope you don't mind me posting this stupid question here and thank you in advance for your answers.
Oh and btw does HTC Watch work with these ROMs? Living in Sweden if it matters.

you are welcome just remember while using titanium backup DO NOT restore system apps and ONLY restore user apps without data.. even better if you have not started already just make a folder in the root of your sdcard\RCTeam\app.user and copy all your user apps from data\app folder to sdcard\RCTeam\app.user and let the rom install your apps automatically.
Restoring data was the reason i bought titanium backup
I'll just restore the apps i had then with market links. The ROM is really fast btw, the eyecandy isn't too bad either.

Actually it seems that the script killersloth linked is the problem as the phone froze again before i even entered my SIM Pin, I'll just flash the restore thing before it freezes the next time.
And Wavesecure is actually really good, I can lock and locate and wipe the phone with simple text messages, though I never use any kind of AV apps.

I would just go with a standard Rom flash set it up as my liking then do a nand backup only then I will start playing with oc\uv and fine tuning the rom to my liking... it has saved me a lot of problems faced by many users. just my way of doing things. after every success mod I do a nand backup incase my next mod messes up something I have a backup to come back to saves a lot of time and hassle. IMHO I can't say any thing about killersloth's script coz I have not used it.
NAND backups takes ages xD
However the phone is working as it should now, all thats left is a nice theme, anyone?
I won't be playing around with voltages and speeds on the CPU, default is just fine.

your best bet is to upload the files from your phone or the downloaded rom, in the uot kitchen.. the fc problem in the glass theme is a known issue you overcome it by disabling the sound effects in the weather app

P.s My phones setup is very comfortable for me and its settings...It has not given me any fcs because i dont delete any .apk but i only add a dot in any app i dont want to use.
Question how does a list free more ram >>> Is something missing from the OP .
By adding a dot ??? it reads as you are adding a dot in front of each apk .

Its far far cheaper than the Wondershare Mobile Go .
Same dot or even delete can be used by any root file manager .

Most of your apps listed here I've already deleted them and now my system rom is only 1.58 gb (was around 1.70 gb before) and around 738 mb free (was around 800+ mb before).
And as far as I can see you only rendered the files unreadable. If you really want to get rid of those bloatware (and free system resources) then just delete them permanently that way you'll be able to use the space those apk's have occupied.
And I think you're using a deodexed rom? I don't see any .odex files in there cause if you do you need to disable those too. So edit your first post and advice that it should only be used by deodexed rom users.

no i really dont want to do that because with some apk you can remove them easily with no fcs at all, but some others like logsprovider.apk (example), you will get fcs....its really better to just rename it.....the space you will accumulate from that is very small compared to what we are trying to acomplish (ram).

Well I deleted them all and I don't experience any fc's at all. Of course I just used rom cleaner to delete them all (and a bloatware remover script by AndiP) so it avoided those important apk's including that logsprovider apk.

Still download link not working...
MyXperia
I installed the ROM and was amazed - it works perfectly.
UNTIL I activated MyXperia (Tracking Phone etc). The device got stuck and was now placed in a bootloop...
Is there a fix for this? Maybe this is a little Bug
Allready flashed it again so it is working again.

Cannot add Google Account to Contacts
Hello guys, I have a very strange problem...
I can add a Google account on first startup after installing this ROM, setup sync, everything seems to be fine, some apps start to update...thats all good...Gmail works, Google Play works... But, when I start contacts app or go to contacts from dialer, I can see no contacts there, and there is only option to add a Exchange account, but not Google account... Filters are set correctly... It is really strange and I have never seen anything like this before... I even tried a third party contacts app from Google Play, but the options were the same... My previous ROM was AOKP, I installed stock 108 ROM using Flashtool, then rooted, then flashed Recovery, then installed this, with of course full wipe and everything. Didnt find any other issue, everything is fast, smooth, and working fine... Except I cannot call to anyone because I dont have any numbers...
Any help is much appreciated.
Thank you!
Contacts again!
Ok, so it took one night without sleep, but I seem to find the reason... First a question: What exactly is, or more specifically is NOT in the ROM if I choose to remove bloatware during the instalation? Because, if I choose not to remove it, contacts work... If I choose to remove it, contacts just won't work. Again, any clarification from someone who can explain this is welcome...
Thank you!

of course, because in the debloating script there are two entries:
googlecontactssyncadapter.apk
googlecalendarsyncadapter.apk
Debloat your ROM with the script, reboot, put both attached apk´s into /system/app folder, set permission to rw-r-r and reboot.

Thank you for the info, I'm just curious, why are these two apk files removed by the script? They look pretty useful to me...? Also is there any other surprise to look for if I choose to debloat the ROM? Right now I am running "bloated" version, and so far I am happy with it, so I am not sure if its worth it... What is the main advantage? (yea, I know - "if you have no idea what it does, then you probably don't need it")
There doesn't seem to be a big difference in internal storage space either...
Thanks again
RW to system?
I tried to install debloated ROM and then copy the two apk files to system/app, but I wasnt able to get write permission, despite having root access. Digging up some info, I found out that some kernels might be locked to write to system folder despite being rooted. Can this be the case? In any case, I probably wont be poking my nose into that again, but I just would like to know for future. Thank you!
EDIT: Nevermind, found this, which makes remount possible...

Six hundred and something views only 3 Thanks SMH! Come on people we have to do a better job at showing appreciation, this man asks for nothing! the least we can do is say Thanks... For such a handy tool.
does anybody have a list of what is safe to block/disable?
Is there a good debloat block list for the spr note 4? Not lookin to remove but a good block list for those that have used it before would be cool.

Sure does!
The Op specifies KK only though
For lollipop, the lines for deleting /system/app/xx.apk and /system/app-priv/xx.apk would have to be changed to delete folders rather than apk's. Then there's applications that changed names.
As far as compatibility from update to update, Samsung and Sprint are fond of changing apps from system/app to /system/priv-app or adding revs to the titles. With that said, this is not compatible update to update and especially not lollipop.
You basically have to look at your ROM system folders and go line by line comparing the updater-script correcting as you go until it's right. Then look for apps that may have changed names, more bloat, etc.
I like to take this script, add mods and customize it so I can have something to flash if needing to go back to stock tar.
