OK, I have been searching and searching. I can find a lot of places where they post mods but I was hoping there would be a walkthrough for first timers. I would like to start modding some of the apps on my phone. (AKA Widgets transparent or themed). is there a place I can find what files contain what images for HTC Sense? when I was playing with modding in windows mobile sense I found a lot of info but I can not seem to find too much here.
I believe these are the steps:
1. get apk
2. unzip and change images
3. repack apk
4. copy apk to /system/app
I am not sure how to repack a apk yet (any pointers would be great). I am not sure I am suppose to get the apk from the system folder or from the website? by copying it to the system folder is that enough? or do I have to install it?
Any little pointers would be great.
Thanks,
SoBBie

Can we please collect/post files, which are "useless" and how to remove?
Example.
JAVA Mildets are useless because only Demos...
Important things:
Firmware Version: XXKK5
Stored in path/folder: AppEx\SysDefault\Java\Games
Delete possible in handset... not all.
Left Edge and Parachute Panic...
I think I'll remove them from:
CSC_S8500_Open_Europe_Common_OXAKK5.csc
And few more...
I hope you understand what I wish.
Thanx in advance.
Best Regards
AppEx\SysDefault\Java\Games
Tried but failed in XPJK1...also how do u edit csc...In trix when I dumped csc those folders where not present and in Wave remaker we can only dumb files r8(correct me if I am wrong)
So I dumped using wave remaker and then saved using trix...but everthing I removed was present and the font I added was not present...So I redumped the modified csc using wave remaker and the files wherent present but the font was there. I guess its stored in some other location also
Useless images : \SystemFS\Media\Images (Keep Wallpaper 1 & 2)
Useless pdf file : \SystemFS\Media\Others (Don't try to open "open source licences" in settings menu because phone will reboot)
Useless Ringtones : \SystemFS\Media\Sounds\Alert tones & \SystemFS\Media\Sounds\Ringtones (Keep Samsung tune.mp3 , Cloud.wav , Good morning.wav)
Using Wave Remaker / Trix
From FFS file
The files i said keep them because it was tested by flashing and their absence made phone reboot
This is my list...I keep anymore.mp3 file in addition to previous stuff because i like it and use it as a ringtone
Best Regards

Maybe better take ownership of the files i delete
\SystemFS\User\OspSys\registry\filepathinfo.ini
Code:
/System/Ringtones=/SystemFS/Media/Sounds/Ringtones,ro
/System/Wallpapers=/SystemFS/Media/Images,ro
/System/Others=/SystemFS/Media/Others,ro
Best Regards
Those files are used as default wallpaper n all...so i guess if we change ro to rw...den also result will be same reboot...Have you tried replacing those files, I believe it will work

AllShare is DLNA samsung implementation
You can stream video audio pics from to,through DLNA enabled devices.
And it works fine.
Samsung has own Pc version of DLNA server but it's not best.
Best which i found is servioo
http://www.serviio.org/ works like a charm
Phone enables wifi when you start AllShare becouse DLNA devices must be in same network

SystemFS\MediaSet\Idle\miniWidget: All .swf gadgets
SystemFS\User\Idle\PshIdleWidgetList.ini
In CSC all preconfiguration except default, it's the only one used.

For now, perhaps I will remember something else later lol
Kona.exe aka Samsung Apps... has several Languages and Resolutions...
Code:
ScreenDensity-Low
ScreenDensity-Middle
.xml (language Text)
If you kick unneeded stuff... then around 3 MB less.
Same for the other Apps... I don't need all *.xml language files...
Best Regards
Edit :
Code:
AppPkgUninstall /Osp/Applications/[B]kfdoqs63to[/B]
This can remove ChatON... for instance.
Use QuB for instance to send this Command.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=12436452&postcount=1
In this kind you can remove Apps from Osp folder... if trouble or you don't like them...
Best Regards
Edit 1.
Short tested on XXLA1... with success:
ChatON
AppPkgUninstall /Osp/Applications/kfdoqs63to
Music HUB
AppPkgUninstall /Osp/Applications/1xd3tvpnc5
Caster
AppPkgUninstall /Osp/Applications/577yx64nrt
Yahoo
AppPkgUninstall /Osp/Applications/5zdx8bkb6w
GTALK
AppPkgUninstall /Osp/Applications/8c59h50loa
MSN
AppPkgUninstall /Osp/Applications/760n3w3202
Nearly all Apps from Osp folder can be removed by this Command...
Only Kona + BDAgent left
Code:
36cbr89p8t\Bin\BDAgent.exe
8d7uw8z551\Bin\Kona.exe
Maybe then with Account trouble... as this seems additional Account App
Code:
rcz4775900\Bin\Bori.exe
I can remove this complete or not install it before (removed from FW), and I can still access Samsung Account.
Remember to delete "Emergency Backup" from AppEx\Sys\SamsungAccount.
Other Accounts not tested...
But maybe this is the funny country check. As this App will also updated if Kona + BDAgent is forced to update...
Best Regards
ScreenDensity-Low
or 240xbla, HVGA etc..
Few folders are for multi Resolution... but we have only 480x800 WVGA on S8500/S8530/S8600...
So few folders can removed complete...
Best Regards
Yes, it is safe to delete most of the excess resolution folders.
It is also safe to delete all the unneeded language xml files in the apps res folders.
The problem here is that these deleted files and folders are all re-installed during updates (like Samsung Apps update).
So makes no much sense in deleting them (except you have a firmware with all the apps already updated).
The only exception here is the 0rq06e23py (SevenIM) folder.
EAGLEBOOY's Complete MOD is new posted all-in-1 programs adding boot options, on-screen-button, lockscreen, settings and much more.
It did greatly change the whole system and saved more storage.
BTW this programs deletes an important file "TASK.apk" related to "Small Apps Port".
Then small apps port doesn't work and some related files remain in system/app folder.
Just for experiment I recovered only one file, TASK.apk in the folder and "Small Apps Port" revived excellently and works fast.
Left a qna message here 'cuz I can't post on the Development section.

Hi there!
Only just recently owning the P6, one of the first things I do is streamlining the rom. Even though EmotionUI is nice, its packed with stuff I (and you most probably too) don't use.
HOW TO REMOVE SYSTEM APPS:
Step 1) Get your P6 rooted
Step 2) Get an app thats able to remove or freeze (disabling) system apps, like this
Step 3) Remove any unwanted apps. IF YOU ARE NOT SURE OF ONE APPS' PURPOSE, GOOGLE IT, OR LEAVE IT ALONE.
BARE MINIMUM LIST:
I've been testing the removal of apps, and made a list of the one's you should keep at a bare minimum (or the apps cannot be removed).
AndroidHWEXT (Got something to do with the text that's shown in Android)
APNreminder (used for showing Acces Point Names)
Backup (speaks for itself, for making/restoring backups)
Bluetooth.apk (I hardly use this, but removing it causes crashes)
Camera.apk (Somehow I cannot remove this)
CertInstaller.apk (Needed for installing apps)
CMParts.apk (Needed after resetting the phone)
Contacts.apk (Needed for storing contacts)
ContactsProvider.apk (Practically the same as above)
DefaultContainerService.apk (Basic system stuff)
DrmProvider.apk (Secures the stuff on your phone)
HuaweiHome (homescreen, do not remove when no replacement is installed, like Nova Launcher)
MediaProvider.apk (Needed for providing images, music etc. but also ringtones, system sounds and the alarmclock)
Mms.apk (System SMS MMS Program)
PackageInstaller.apk (Installs your apps)
Phone.apk (System phone app)
Profiles (needed for vibration)
Settings.apk (for getting into settings)
SimToolKit (all sorts of SIM-related info is read and stored via this)
SUPL20Services (???? anyone?)
SystemUI (speaks for itself)
ToolBox (basic tools?)
Wifi(hotspot) (needed for wifi)
<to be updated>
NOT RECOMMENDED
I recommend not to remove these apps for the purpose they serve. Removing them will most probably not make your phone unusable.
DoblySound.apk (Used by the Music app)
AGPS.apk (used for improving GPS)
<to be updated>
GENERAL LIST OF APPS AND THEIR PURPOSE:
<to be updated>
REMEMBER! I am in NO WAY responsible for what YOU are doing to YOUR device. Use common sense. I'm just trying to help making the P6 an even nicer device to use!
Suggestions, questions, corrections, experiences, please share them!
Cheers
If you bought your phone from your carrier and it comes with a lot of carrier apps, plus if you don't want to see them again when you do a factory restore, you can delete them using file managers like the root explorer by delete everything in the /cust/(your carrier name)/en(or your language)/delapps/ folder.
I have a China Mobile version of Huawei P6 (P6-T00) and this worked for me, but I am not responsible for any damage that happens to your phone.

@lotero: Search the PlayStore for "Locale and Language " App... (your phone needs to be rooted, playstore needs to be copied to /system/app. Don't forget to set permissions to rw-r--r--)

i managed to withdraw from htc one but looks like it is not compatible
I did a small search around the forums and couldn't see a thread compiling all stock apps that can be deleted. Is there one? If there isn't, it'd be appreciated to have a list so I can safely remove the bloat.
Thanks in advance!
