[UTIL][12/JUL/12] Samsung Galaxy S Chlorine (or cwm update bloat remover generator) - Galaxy S I9000 Android Development

Status: ONLINE and Updated 12/Jul/12
With so many GB roms coming out lately I often can't wait for xxx custom rom developer to update to xxx rom. For the last month or so I've basically been using customised stock roms. (My own AOSP theme, choose a kernel, change a few apks).
One of the first things I do after flashing a new rom + kernel is cut down on some of the bloat in /system/. I more or less remove everything that can be downloaded (for free) from the market. When they're downloaded from the market they often go into /data/, leaving more breathing room in /system/.
As always, backup and be confident with restoring your phone via download mode or CWM.

What this does:
This is a little bit of PHP that will generate a customised CWM update.zip which will remove specific apks (and associated .odexes).
Usage:
* Choose which APKs you want the update.zip to remove and hit the Generate button.
- You can also select a preset to save some clicking.
* Copy the generated .zip file to your phone.
* Apply it with CWM.
Thanks:
The list of APKs was grabbed from the public google docs spreadsheet.
The SGS2 APK list was grabbed from this public google docs spreadsheet
The SGS3 APK list was grabbed from this public google docs spreadsheet. XDA thread
Notes:
* The APK list shouldn't let you remove anything 'vital' to booting the phone.
* I've tested it myself pretty extensively and used it for the last couple of stock roms released. However, there may be bugs. Let me know and I'll attempt to get them fixed!
* If you have any particular ideas for good presets, also let me know and I'll see to adding them.
* You can remove TouchWiz (TouchWiz30Launcher.apk) with this. However, if you do that without having another home 'app' installed, bad things may (will) happen.

Presets:
- Google
Removes the following:
- Gmail.apk
- GoogleQuickSearchBox.apk
- Maps.apk
- Street.apk
- VoiceSearch.apk
- YouTube.apk
- Sargorn Special
Removes the following:
- Everything from the Google preset
- Aldiko
- BuddiesNow
- The flip fonts, Choco, Cool, Rose
- Days
- Dlna
- DualClock
- InfoAlarm
- Flash
- Layar
- MiniDairy
- MyFiles
- Protips
- SamsungWidgets (CalendarClock, FeedAndUpdate, StockClock)
- SnsAccount
- SnsProvider
- Unified Inbox
- Write and Go

Nice, a kitchen for removal rather than gain of apps

reserved for future use!

Simple, but very useful!
Thumbs up!

this looks very promising.
one of the things i hate about upgrading is removing all the bloatware ....will try it out my next flash thanks

what a great idea

Wow, definitely going to try this. Thanks!
EDIT: after generating a .zip and looking at the generated script, it deletes .apk and .odex files. Will this throw an error if used on a deodexed rom? Maybe an option to select whether the rom is odexed/deodexed would be a good idea? Just a thought.

It doesn't throw an error. Just double checked.

I will try. I was looking for such a pc software because im tired of removin app
myself again and again after flashing new roms. Thanks.

can i still choose apps which i don't have so incase in the future, i don't need to create another one.. what i'm generating is my master uninstaller.
very nice utility.

this a very useful +1

Very nice idea. Exactly what I was looking for. Will give it a try right away/

Great!
Suggestion: you could add a text input field (possibly user could press a button to get more text input fields) so that users can remove some other (not pre-defined) APKs.
Don't know if it's of any use though..

That should work without any problems. The update-script won't complain if the files deleted are not there to start with.

I can see it being useful if you have a specific apk that usually is installed with your CSC. I'll look into it when I have a chance.

If I understood well, it works on odexed roms?

That's right, the update-script removes both the .apk files and the .odex files.
So as long as you have CWM it will work on odex or deodexed.

Ok, so domo arigato, as they say

Worked pretty good when I went from JVP to JVQ just a minute ago
Great!

After downloading the zip file, can the updater-script be manually edited and and readded to the zip?

Advice
- I strongly advice you to disable any lagfixes when upgrade to new roms or install new kernels.
- Always flash rom with FULLY charged battery!
- Make backup of efs-folder (with Root Explorer or ADB)
- Do NOT restore system data, if you upgrade from 2.1 (Eclair)
- Do not factory reset phone if you have removed any apps from the base rom.
If you want to factory reset, flash the base rom before again if you made any changes
- If you do a factory reset after install: lancher pro, sgs tools. gallery etc will be deleted.
Download
This Rom it is installed in three parts, the first being the principal and other optional updates, I recommend installing the complete package.
MOD EDIT: ROM Removed for Plagiarism of Doc Froyo XXJPA, including cope-paste of release notes
Install Instructions - Post 2
Install Instructions
1. Download the three Zip Files and put it on your internal sdcard.
2. Download clockworkmod recovery from here. You need Clockworkmod, this won’t work with stock recovery.
3. Rename the clockworkmod recovery file to “update.zip” and put it on your internal sdcard.
4. If you had Voodoo installed prior to installing this ROM (eclair or froyo), make sure you still have the "disable lagfix" folder inside "/sdcard/Voodoo".
5. Shutdown phone, wait for it to power down, then boot the phone into recovery mode (press volume up, keep it pressed, then press home button, keep it pressed, then press power button, keep it pressed until you see the Galaxy S screen. Release all three buttons when you see it).
6. Select “apply sdcard:update.zip” (use volume rocker to move up and down, and home button to select). Clockworkmod recovery will boot now (you may have to do apply update.zip twice for Clockworkmod to show up).
7. Once in Clockworkmod, select “install zip from sdcard” (use volume rocker to move up and down and the back button to select).
8. Select “choose zip from sdcard” and then select the 1- Racpu_FROYO.iPhoneStyle.V1.zip. Choose yes then.
9. The update will start (will take some 5 minutes) and during the flashing you will see some strange big characters on the screen, don’t worry, that’s normal. After the process finishes, you will be dropped back into Clockworkmod recovery. From there, choose go back, and then reboot phone.
11. The first boot will take some time as the ROM will deodex.
12. After the phone boots up, shutdown phone again, and then boot into recovery, and install the 2- Racpu_Medium_Pack.zip, waiting to install and go back e reboot phone.
13. After starting, let's back to recovery and install the latest zip, 3- Racpu_Full_Pack.zip.
14. After the phone boots up, shutdown phone again, and then boot into recovery. The phone will boot DIRECTLY into Clockworkmod. From there, select a "advanced ULK features", then "Lagfix options". You can select any of the lagfix schemes. I recommend NO-RFS advanced EXT4.
15. You can also enable some startup tweaks from the "Tweak options" menu.
You more or less stole the whole thing, even copied the text.
Screenshots??

Screens needed no one will load it without seeing what it looks like.

This like the 8 or 9 "rom" that's based on the 7.6, new kernel, theme and its NEW custom rom.
Please try more before posting new rom. Start with a theme and learn a bit more.
Do we really need these full ROMs which are just themed versions of Doc's mod?
Why didnt you just make a theme for docs rom?...
For me; this is not an interesting ROM since the only difference seems to be that it makes my Android look like iOS, and that's the last thing I'd like.. But thats me.

All this is a mixture of various things from other people claiming this as your own work, like the modded launcher from my miui rom.

Do it urself
One method :
1. Get theme-porter Link
2. Take the apk's from this rom and put it inside new folder
3. Take apk's from your current rom and put it in old folder
4. Run script.
5. Push the files from new folder back to your phone.
Done.
Note : The above guide applies to any hdpi rom/theme

You can't just take something Doc and Webstart spent a lot of time doing, just put it together and name it a new ROM. In fact I see no changes what so ever compared to their work.

[APP] Simply change an icon on your Android phone (Update APK Edit V0.4e)

APK Edit V0.4e
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Ever wanted to simply change an icon on your Android phone and found yourself lost in the endless lists of forum posts saying: you have to change heaven and earth to do this...
NOT ANYMORE!!!!
APK Edit is born!
With this little program you can simply change icons of your android application.
It even lets you change the applications name.
But wait mike..... there's more.....
It even lets you edit the text used in applications.
Sounds to good to be true...
Well... to be honest.... it is.
But I've come a long way from that initial question to the final answer.
My conclusion so far, it works for most of my applications.
It probably will work on most of yours as well.
Try it out now!
(Caution: when overwriting an existing application, using the adb Wireless feature, you will loose your associated data!!!)
For the record... only use on you're own apk files, otherwise it's not that legal I think.
Version history:
Code:
0.4e - Minor update
Added: Some more debug logging on startup of the application.
Fixed: Version number in settings tab now shows correct version.
0.4d - Minor update
Fixed: Fixed startup crash if some APK properties are empty (like screensize/densities/locales), like in Settings.apk.
Fixed: A little bug in the fancy install mechanism, mainly experienced when installing system apk's
0.4c - Minor update
Fixed: Compatibility issue with Windows XP, causing program to crash on startup.
0.4b - Minor update
Fixed: Error extracting signature.
Changed: Extended logging.
0.4a - Minor update
Changed: Logging is enabled by default.
Added: Some debug messages for when opening of apk goes wrong.
0.4 - Major rewrite
Did a major rewrite of the code.
Added: Option to choose APK tool version
Added: Logging feature
Added: Auto retrieve required dependency files from phone if needed (for editing system apps)
Added: Details panel, shows information about the package.
Added: Restore original file link, for when thing's get really messed up.
Added: Donate button, for those who wanna celebrate with me.
Fixed: Some annoying issues (APKtool Issue 100) / (XLargeScreens bug)
Removed: QR Code installation support
Removed: AdbWireless installation support
0.3 - Update
Added: Language support.
Added: Installation method (USB Cable).
0.2 - Minor update
Added: Save confirmation dialog (as req by droidzone)
Changed: Recreated the loading animation so that it theme's better with the rest of the application.
0.1 - Initial release
Special thanks goes out to:Brut.all for creating Apktool, the backbone of this little project.

Seems an excellent work let's try and then will report back

How can I use this program ?? If I open it, it opens a dialog screen that wants to open a java.exe file ?
In order to use it you need to have java installed.
By default it will search for it in "C:\Program Files (x86)\Java\jre6\bin\java.exe".
If it can't find it there, it will pop up the screen you are talking about, asking you where it can find it.
I know, it's a little dirty this way, but I'm a lazy programmer
If necessary you can download java for free at: java.com

So i'll see all custom icons in your next Rom LOL
This is total awesomeness... works perfect for me, i will definitely promote this!
Thanks for sharing it.
BTW heads up --- this can actually break some apps...
The breakage comes because this tool works by decompiling the apk and
signing it with a key that is NOT the same as the original developer's
key so for apps that have co-dependencies (ie, one app calls into another), this can cause mystery errors because if the signatures are not identical, then the call will fail.
while this is a lovely tool, i just wanted to mention this...
thanks for the info
Update New version V0.2
That's true ThaPHLASH, co-dependencies are a big trouble when using this approach. Can't think of any way around it at this time, so we are currently stuck at changing those apk's who are autonomous.
If it does break you're apk, don't worry... it always saves a backup of the original apk when changing.
Great!! its work fine for me
Thanks!
i think this will change the icon in the appdrawer, right ?
if so, it would be nice to seen this wihtin an app on the phone direct,
like desktop visualiser but also in the appdrawer.
dunno if its possible to code, but that woud be awesom !

I have a problem i think.... when change icon to apk file the aplicattion create a .backup file but no a new file with the new icon... and other work ok i dont know why...
Congrats zEsAr!!!
You are the lucky finder of a brand new bug!
Are you having this problem with all your apk files?
No, some apks work ok but others say save changes very fast and the new archive dont exist.

Will look into it, I myself have the same problem with some of them.
Maybe has to do something with compression levels, bla bla...

not to question your skills or the app capability, but does it still have the problem zesar had? just wanna make sure before trying it out..

TO HAVE A CLEAN ROM = JUST FLASH THE ZIP
TO USE YOUR OWN LIST PUT ROMCleaner_user.txt ON YOUR SDCARD IN
Code:

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Quick Start Guide
Ok, this is a quick start guide for those user who just want to flash and go.
The cleaner uses one of two text files located in the ROMCleaner folder on your SD card.
ROMCleaner.txt - This is the default cleaner list that the script will read from. This list will be placed on your card on the first run of the cleaner. It will be overwritten each time the cleaner is run to ensure the latest updates are applied.
Or
ROMCleaner_user.txt - This is your custom cleaner list. You can create this file at any time and the cleaner will automatically read from it.
File Locations:
Code:
/sdcard/ROMCleaner/ROMCleaner.txt <--- This is the default list and will be created automatically
/sdcard/ROMCleaner/ROMCleaner_user.txt <--- This is your personal list which you create.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Summary
In short, all you have to do is add text to a file and put apks into a folder.
Yes yes that simple.
You can even edit the text files and copy apks using just your device.
While we still recommend you use http://notepad-plus-plus.org/ to edit your list on a PC to maintain the UNIX encoding the cleaner will also double check and convert the file if it finds it has been converted to a windows format.

Simple Breakdown
Folder Creator - Creates all nesercery folders automatically for you on SDCard
ROMCleaner - Will clean your rom using either default list or user list

Folder Creator​
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
We have created this small flashable zip to aid you in getting the cleaners directory structure setup.
It should only need to be run once before using but can be run at any time to completely recreate the structure. Any files or folders in place will not be harmed if flashing again.
The script contains a small reboot to workround a very small bug in some recoveries. This bug will not update the sdcards file view to show new folders.
This is to help us avoid the obligatory "I flashed the zip but it didnt create the folders" posts.
ROMCleaner
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
On flashing, the RC zip will do the following things:
Install our script and related files to /tmp
Check if the folder is present on the SD card, if not then it will create it.
Install the default cleaner list (ROMCleaner.txt) overwriting any older versions.
Check to see if a custom list is present (ROMCleaner_user.txt).
If it is then it will check for Windows encoding and convert to UNIX if needed.
If it is not then it will use the default.
Proceed to read the list and delete all the files and folders.
Copy any backuped up apps back to /data/app
Create Logs on the SD Card.
Note that the time it takes for the apps to be copied will vary dependent on the number of apps you have installed/are installing as will the first boot of the rom as most roms these days will automatically zipalign the data partition. On 200+ apps it takes under a minute to install and adds roughly 4-6mins to your boot time.
Due to the naming convention of apks when updated (they are appended with -1, -2 etc) please ensure you check for duplicates to avoid doubling up and wasting space. We will leave the organisation of your apps in this folder to you
Backup Tool
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Now to save time and bandwidth when installing a rom it is possible to have your apps 'pre-installed' before first boot.
On flashing, the zip will copy all apks located in
Code:
data/app
to
Code:
sdcard/ROMCleaner/FirstBoot/data/app
as well as several system files to your SD card in preperation for your new rom.
When the ROMCleaner is run it will copy these apks back to data/app for you before booting the rom.
We are slowly adding support for apps that are provided by the rom devs to make sure that these apps are not copied across to ensure you will always receive the uptodate version included with your rom.
If you feel support for your rom should be included as default please contact us in the thread.
When flashed this zip will do the following:
Install our script and related files to /tmp
Check if the folder is present on the SD card, if not then it will create it.
Backup Accounts, Bluetooth pairings, Mail accounts (including Inbox) and WiFi APs keys
Copy all Apps (not app data) found in /data/app/
Create Logs on the SD Card.
Accounts, BT, Mail accounts and Wifi can only be restored using the Settings Restorer.
Settings Restorer
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
This script will attempt to restore any files backed up by the backup tool.
These settings are stored by the Android system and are usually lost when flashing a rom. This can be annoying if you have a lot of wifi passwords stored or a few BT pairings which you dont want to lose.
It is important to note that in the majority of cases these settings will be correctly applied but sometimes for an unknown reason they dont and may cause errors. We are still trying to track these down. If you do encounter them PLEASE post in the thread so we can gather some information from you to aid in this process.
This tool also has limitations when it comes to moving rom base. Please do not attempt to restore these settings as it will more than likely cause errors.
HTCSetupRemover
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
The setup remover is a small additional zip that will remove the setup wizards which run at first boot.
Once these wizards have been run they become absolutely useless and as such can be removed safely.
Unfortunately they are tied into several aspects of the system and removing them before the roms first boot can cause some weird errors and FC's
Creating Your Own List​
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
While the default list should be enough for most users, we have included the ability to define your own custom list for the cleaner to remove.
Creating your own list is as simple as adding files to a text file! This can be done a variety of ways, from an editor on your PC or via an editor on your Phone!
The easiest way to start your own list is to use the one attached to the first post.
Run the folder creator or create the following structure on you sdcard
Code:
/sdcard/ROMCleaner/ROMCleaner_user.txt
As long as this file is present, the cleaner will read from it instead of the default ROMCleaner.txt.
To add to it all you have to do is add the apk file or folder you would like removed during cleaning.
Single apk files should just be listed while folders should be encased in quotes (" ")
Any item with a # in front of it will be ignored by the cleaner.
The cleaner will check BOTH the /system and /data partitions for any apk file named in the list and remove it if it finds it
Examples:
To add files:
Code:
UselessApp.apk
Simple as that
To add folders:
Code:
"/system/app/UselessFolder"
Ignored example:
Here, both the empty folder and UselessApp2 will be deleted while UselessApp1 will be ignored.
Code:
"/system/app/EmptyFolder"
#UselessApp1.apk
UselessApp2.apk
We have also included the ability to batch delete a certain filetype by using the following syntax -
Code:
"/path/to/folder/*.fileextension"
Heres an example from the default list to remove all .png images from the resources folder:
Code:
"/system/customize/resource/*.png"
Examples Of Usage
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Heres a couple of example flashing procedures for the most common ways of flashing a rom and using the ROMCleaner toolset.
Before doing anything you should first flash the folder creator zip to create the folder structure for you.
Flash'n'Go - Full Wipe - Clean System
So this is your typical flashing procedure for a ROM starting with a full wipe, clean system, and no apps or settings backed up.
SuperWipe
Flash ROM
Flash ROM Cleaner
First Boot
Setup Phone
Flash Setup Wizard Remover
Use Phone as Normal
ROM Upgrade
Obviously using the 'upgrade' method to install a rom will replace any files you have removed with the cleaner the first time round.
You can use the cleaner again straight after flashing a rom upgrade.
Be warned, using the upgrade method and cleaner will no doubt leave artifacts and residue from the previous install.
This is not our fault. This is the design by Android. Please do not complain to us, we hate it too.
This would be your ideal flashing method when using the cleaner on a rom upgrade.
Flash ROM
Flash ROMCleaner
Boot
Setup Phone
Flash Setup Wizard Remover
Use Phone as Normal
Patric, craack and I do not officially endorse the use of rom upgrades and as such will not be hold accountable for any problems that arise from them.
With the use of this cleaner script and the backup/install apps option alongside other data backup tools such as Titanium backup (Data only) should negate the need to use the upgrade method.
Full Backup & Restore
This is the daddy. A full on backup of Apps, Accounts, Bluetooth pairings, Mail accounts (including Inbox) and WiFi APs keys, wipe and reinstall of a cleaned rom.
This is usefull when you have been playing around too much and fooked somethig up but dont have a nandroid or just want the feeling of a freshly installed rom but dont want to lose some settings.
Flash Backup Tool
SuperWipe (Format /system, /data, /cache, /dalvik-cache)
Flash Rom
Flash ROM Cleaner which will also install Apps
First Boot
Setup Phone (Sign in at Google and sync all your data)
Flash Setup Wizard Remover
Flash Mods & App Installer (If you have added Apps, mods etc to ../SecondBoot folder)
Flash Settings Restorer
Use Phone
ROMCleaner Logs & Support
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
To make troubleshooting easier for us we have included a logging feature into the toolset to aid in trouble shooting.
Each script will create its own set of logs which will be stored in /sdcard/ROMCleaner/Logs
If you should run into problems, please attach these logs to your post in the thread to aid us in solving your issue.
If you don't help us with the logs we will for sure not be able to help you.
Mods & App Installer
!!! WARNING - ADVANCED USERS ONLY !!!​
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
This tool has so far been successful in our tests and has been taken out of the experimental phase. Please note though the majority of mods we have tried have worked perfectly but some have caused bolops and black screens, usually heavy system apks such as framework-res and com.htc.resources.
For that reason it is for those users that know how to handle mod zips and understand the structure within them and can easily revert any changes made.
This script functions in a simialr way to the backup and installation of apps except it is used for mods which need to be flashed after the phone has had its first boot.
Such mods ,if flashed before the system has booted, have been know to cause errors such as bolops and black screens.
It was built to try and cut down on the recovery navigation of having to select each zip in turn. With this installer you will only need to flash one zip to have all your mods installed at once. It also allows you have finer control over the mods as you are dealing with normal folders and files rather than zips.
To Use
If you have flashed the folder creator you will find a folder within the sdcard/ROMCleaner folder on your SD called SecondBoot which in itself contains common system folders where mods are flashed to.
Take your mod zip, extract and place the files into these folders according to the structure in the zip.
Upon flashing the installer these files will be placed in the correct places and also have the correct permissions set to them.
A Little About The Team

[HUMUR]
Patrics83 spent many months cursing HTCs decision to fill his precious device with crap he didnt want with no way to remove it. After hundreds of letters, emails and even stalking the CEO with no response he finally decided enough is enough and ROMCleaner was born. He spends his time plotting revenge against Sense roms and their bloat in the hope that one day, his message to HTC will get through.
Dude360 one day stumbled across a small post regarding removing crap from his lovely rom. Patric offered him a small taste of how clean a rom could be but it wasnt enough. Dude360 wanted more. He wanted it all, a Sense rom with the size and speed of a AOSP rom. It soon took him over, he began creating monsterous abomaonations which no man should ever flash. Patric decided Dude360 needed a mentor, someone to calm his addiction to cleaning and proceeded to teach him the zen of ROMCleaner.
craack was just a innocent young man when he was abducted by Patric and Dude. They forced days and days of flashing and reflashing roms to get the cleaner working the way they wanted. He tried to resist but the cleaner was too strong and he finally gave in and become one of them. craack now wonders the realm of XDA searching out roms and the unneeded crap they come with to try to fulfill his goal of creating the ULTIMATE CLEANER LIST!

Hey, glad you finally made it to GNex . Used your tool on Sensation already.
Just tried it on my Nexus, works like a charm.
Keep it up, mate .

Update!
Backup Tool v1.1 - 2012-02-08
-Added a command to remove encrypted apps from backup dir. Encrypted apps can't be installed like normal apk's
Enjoy
Hey guys!
I noticed in my download stats that many of you download Settings Restorer, but then I saw that there was very little downloads at Backup Tool
This is weird, because both scripts are needed, otherwise it won't work..
Maybe the guide is unclear? Please feel free to give us input in this matter.
Backup Tool does the following:
Back's up your Apps
Wifi keys
BT devices
Mail settings
Accounts
When flashing ROM Cleaner, Backed up Apps will be restored (this saves you loads of time after fresh install) and System Apps deleted if you wish.
Settings Restorer is restoring the following:
Wifi keys
BT devices
Mail settings
Accounts

I know there not much to remove from your devices but still there is a great way to backup / install apps etc. And I'm sure you want to remove at least 1-2 apps

Acer Question?
hi is this "[SCRIPT] ROM Cleaner v1.1 | Remove Bloatware" useful on my Acer a500 running any of these:
------------------------------------------------------------------
civato-FLEXREAPER-R6-GOLD-EDITION-b2b ~379 MB
FLEXREAPER-R5-AR-HW ~370 MB
KJY_2010_Icylicious_REV_12 ~453 MB
KJY_2010_Icylicious_REV_Stripped_ZZ ~233 MB
Lightspeed_4.1 ~239 MB
------------------------------------------------------------------
basically ICS has alot of apk's i think i could get rid of.
theirs are from 233 MB to 453 MB or more.
Mine cleaned up is around 159 MB (un-flashed) not tested.
im guessing around 75 MB extra free?
even putting in a few small apk's like (juice defender - droid wall - Root Explorer - TitaniumBackup)
From what ive read TitaniumBackup is uneeded?

I have done some research and it seems like the script's should work.
Best thing you could do is to make a nandroid and then follow the instructions in 2nd post.
When you are done, please send me all logs located in /sdcard/ROMCleaner/Logs/

[ROM] NardROM 0.4 UCL9 (not supported)

Note, I have moved to the Galaxy S Relay 4G. I still have a Glide but there will be no further development here.
Welcome to NardROM. I want to remind you that flashing this may void your warranty. Use at your own risk. This ROM is experimental. It is fully functioning but some things are works in progress.
Read post 2 to find out how this differs from stock. This ROM is based on the L9 build of ICS, but contains smidgens of Gingerbread (the modem, and the keyboard light controller, and the startup animation), as well as the LH2 kernel.
INSTRUCTIONS FOR A NEW INSTALL:
1. Flash the official ICS using Kies or Odin. You may be able to skip this step but it's best to start clean.
2. Install CWMR from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1766533 or http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1458153
I personally use version 5.
3. Copy the NardROM 0.2 and the 0.4 files to your phone's internal storage.
4. Flash the NardROM 0.2 with CWMR. This step will wipe your installed apps so make backups with Titanium. DO NOT RESTORE DATA ON SYSTEM APPS. Your definition of a system app can vary from Samsung's, for example, Facebook is a system app to Samsung
5. Reboot phone.
6. At the prompt do set up your phone, instead, reboot back into CWMR.
7. Flash NardROM 0.4
8. Reboot.
9. Click next.
10. Tap your screen to prevent it from going to sleep and grant phone superuser access.
11. Enjoy your new phone.
12. If you wish to use Toggle 2G, you should set it to "Data off to switch"
Upgrade instructions:
NardROM 0.1: Follow instructions for new install, above
NardROM 0.2 or 0.3: Just flash the update
NardROM 0.2
NardROM 0.4

Well feel free to bug test for me, and add ideas. And borrow stuff from me is fine. Themes are where most roms differ anyway. My theme is "stock" for now.
well i installed and running GREAT! testing a few things will report back... also anyone wanting if u have to readd CWM u do not it doesnt wipe that. idk if nard said that or not
Are the deodexed files here otherwise unchanged from stock? I've been meaning to deodex the stock rom so I could get around to removing the carrier branding in the status bar, but if you've already done the work...
added nova launcher and OMG its super nice... just an idea is put nova as default and take out TW launcher.. IMO

They're also re-signed. Mixing system apks with different signatures might cause problems. In any case let me know what you discover in that regard and I'll throw it into the ROM.
Forgot to mention one thing: Need to set Toggle 2G to "Data off to switch" to get it to work.

[MOD][GApps] Modded by LaboDJ v2.1 // SuperSLIM v2.1

Hi everybody,
I made a very light & clean modded GApps package for Android 4.2.x, for people who don't like some google crap or with low /system space.
I used many GApps packages I found on XDA to make this one that fits perfectly for me and works with fishears Rom I use.
49MB LaboDJ Normal GApps
22MB LaboDJ Slim GApps
Vs. 123Mb original One
Which base I used?
It contains 20130301 Base mixed to the latest apps I found
Mods:
- Google Play Store 3.10.14 (mods: noupdate norestrictions nosig-aligned, multi dpi, no more ugly smiley icon)
- Google Maps v6.14.1 (mods: full accelerated version, Samsung TTS voice navigation support + world navigation)
- YouTube v4.3.9 (Black Theme, HD Playback, Screen-off Playback)
Removed from GApps:
- PicoTTS

- News & Weather
- Google Talk (+ libs libgtalk_jni.so, libgtalk_stabilize.so)
- Google TalkBack
- Google Sound Search
- Quick Search Box
- Voice Search (+ usr folder)
- TTS Folder (use Google TTS instead)
- Photoshphere (doesn't work with i9000)
Reworked Scripts:
- Removed install-optional.sh
- Added remove-folders.sh (it removes some folder from your system... read below)
- Reworked updater-script to make it work (it also remove many apk from your system... read below)
- Reworked 70-gapps.sh adapting it to the changes
The Package will also remove some apps & folders from your system automatically:
- /system/media/video (sample videos?)
- /system/tts (Use google tts instead, trust me it's better)
- Apollo (use Google play music from market instead)
- Basic Dreams
- Calendar (google calendar is better, already in Gapps)
- CMFileManager (I prefer root explorer from market)
- CMFileManagerThemes
- CMUpdater (If are u using CM ROMs I think it's better CyanDelta Updater from Market)
- DSPManager (I think Voodoo sound is better, from market)
- Exchange2 (Never used it)
- Galaxy 4 (Live wallpaper)
- HoloSpiralWallpaper (Live wallpaper)
- HTMLViewer (Never used it)
- LiveWallpapers (I don't use them)
- LiveWallpapersPicker (See above)
- MagicSmokeWallpapers (Junk)

...
SuperSLIM version changes from Normal version:
- 21.7MB
- Updated Scripts to make them work
- Removed apps & replacements:
CalendarGoogle -> Default Calendar from your ROM instead
Gmail2 -> Classic Email from you ROM instead or Gmail .zip attached
GoogleNow -> Download from market if you need it
GoogleTTS -> If you need it there is a .zip attached
Maps -> Download from market or flash modded .zip attached if you need it.
StreetView -> Download from market if you need it.
YouTube -> Download from market or flash modded .zip attached if you need it.
- I also made modular packages named with ss_, if you use SuperSlim Version use ss_ packages otherwise something will go wrong (you can use normal GoogleTalk package).
If you use Normal vesion DON'T use ss_ packages!
If you use SuperSlim Version please first reflash your ROM .zip
If you need things such:
live wallpapers, video editor, themes, google news & weather, talk, voice search... I'll make sigle packages to add them, making GApps Modular
FIRST TIME INSTRUCTIONS:
- update your rom if you need to
- install this package
UPGRADING ROM AND WANT TO LEAVE MY GAPPS (and addon) UNTOUCHED?
- update your rom
- install Remove_Junk.zip
IF YOU NEED APPS I REMOVED
- I attached some of them at the end of the post
- flash them in recovery
- if you need to remove .zip you added manually just flash Remove_Added.zip
EG: you flash my Gapps, you flash Google_Talk.zip, you want to remove Gtalk? Just Flash Remove_Added.zip, it will remove only my "modular" package you added
IF YOU WANT TO GO BACK TO NORMAL GAPPS
- Update your ROM (or install the same zip you have)
- install classic GApps
- clear cache & Dalvik cache
Some Apps are modded so if you update them you'll lose mods
EG: Don't update Google Maps if you don't want to lose the mods.
:good:New MODULAR Installer OUT! It contains all default apps!
It installs GApps core files automatically, then you can choose which apps to ADD and which to REMOVE.
VERY EASY!
Modular GApps Thread HERE:good:
I don't take any responsibility for improper use, or for damage, I'm currently using them on Galaxy S i9000 powered by Fishears ROM.
I tested them on CM10.1 and work well.
It should works on every device with android 4.2.x
Anyway Use @ your own risk.
Downloads:

V2.0 SuperSlim HERE
V2.1 HERE
V2.1 SuperSlim HERE

Yes, it should work, anyway there are some problems:
If you flash these you'll lose DSPManager (audio driver from cyanogenmod team)
I replaced it with Voodoo sound (that works good with i9000)
If you don't use dspmanager so you shouldn't have any problem.
If you are on stock rom and you haven't a .zip containing your actual rom it wold be boring replace all system apps to revert back to "normal" state.
(Maybe a simply nandroid backup of /system folder only should do the trick, I'm pretty sure)
Nothing else.
Try and let me know!

Ok, I will do it, I don't use it, so I'm going to make another .zip with Talk and its libraries.
Ready for tomorrow!
Others?

I agree with nearly all of your decisions.
Not removing E-Mail and theme chooser would be nice.
Think i can modify the script myself, will have a look.
But i think it's easier to provide addon packages for people wanting stuff like gtalk...

Yep, I agree with you, but I currently don't know how to make a .zip for only an app.
The only problem is that I have to insert a line in system/addon.d/70-gapps.sh with the path of apk and libs.
This is the file that backup and restore your gapps when you upgrade a rom.
If you can help me this way, making modular zip, we can call these first modular gapps.
EDIT: Idea!
I don't know if I add all possible GApps in 70-gapps.sh it would return error when upgrading rom or not... If not I'll make a new .zip with full 70-gapps, and many little .zip for single apps.
Re: [GApps] Modded by LaboDJ
So a restructured gapps is dev related these days?
You even spammed this in cm10.1 thread. Nice going. That'll earn you respect lol

I think these GApps are very useful. Especially with an old smartphone like Galaxy S.
Many apks I removed eat a lot of resources/space/batteries.
And many users haven't time/knowledge to make this mods.
Think before you write, if I did this is not for the glory but to help so many people who simply have my own needs
Maybe wrong section, yes... but keep calm, I didn't killed anyone

Done...see first post.
Now there will be 2 .zip one with Gtalk and one without it.
When I have time I'll test the other method (modular GAPPS)

I agree - I'd like the theme chooser back. Is there any easy way like installing via playstore? But this is really great! I love it to 99%.
