[GUIDE] Streamlining the EmotionUI - Huawei Ascend P6, Mate

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.

Hello yfnew. I have a P6-T00 too. Could you be able to install another firmware version? (international, for example)
Sorry if my english is not good.
Thanks a lot!

I just am curious I need languages apk's .. where i can get them ?
thnx

@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--)

HTC Hero speedup???

I was just wondering if anything from this Dream "hero" rom optimization script could be used for real Hero speedup.
More or less it is the same rom (should be). Paul, dayzee, anyone, any ideas?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=521421
The features of that and my thoughts..
-1) Remove Laucnher.apk - Pretty self explanatory. Since you are using Rosie now, you no longer need the traditional home.
Yes, this should work fine. You can accomplish this also by doing 'adb shell rm /system/app/launcher.*'
-2) Remove HTC PC Sync - Also self explanatory, this option removes a new feature of Hero, Exchange. Which allows you to sync your Dream with your PC with Mail and Calendar programs.
Yes, no reason this shouldn't work. Might do it myself actually!
-3) Add English Keyboard - By default, the VK (Virtual Keyboard) is in Chinese, this option will add the English version, as well as the calibration tools for the VK.
Doesn't apply to our ROMs.
-4) Install dextop-wrapper - Honestly, I don't know what this is. But it is required to install buttkicker's optimization script.
I do this in my root pack.
-5) Install Optimization Script - This script removes and recreates odex files for all of your apps, kind of like "cache"ing them from what I've gathered.
Yes, this is worthwhile.
-6) Replace Camera - This removes the Sapphire Camera from this build and replaces it with the original HTC Hero Camera.
Not applicable!
Can we remove HTC PC Sync using the same commands you suggest above to remove the launcher? If so, what is the name of the htc pc sync file? Thanks.

[Q] Remove default applications

Hi guys, somebody know, how can I do to delete/remove the default applications on BADA OS ?
Because i have remove some DEMO games, but for ex: DAILY BRIEFING, EDGE (game), Parachute Panic (game), ect...
How can i do ?
thanks a lot
You have to use Trix.
For removing apps, you need to work on shpapp file.
For the others applications java, it's in ffs file.
You can also removed flash gadget.
Can't find the post in xda... but thanks to kubica.
The link to downloads trix
http://www.multiupload.com/T8MP2363JL
first edit the firmware and remove/delete the "bad" applz and after i install on Wave?
i have installated Full JID, lite JJ9 and lite JK1. Edit only the last lite fw JK1 ?
thanks
I don't remember but I think there are no applications in JK1's ShpApp.
You need to edit the JID's ShpApp file.
@zefiro1492
Default applications can be removed without flashing, but performing of the master reset it is necessary that will lead to loss of user data.
Java applications are removed by TkFileExplorer here: AppEx\SysDefault\Java\Games, AppEx\SysDefault\Java\Locked Games, AppEx\User\Java.
Next, edit FactoryFSList.dat from the disk P root. This is a list of what will be restored after a master reset, remove the lines pointing to unnecessary files and upload the modified file. Next perform a master reset. Thats all.
All Done!
To use the "TkFileExplorer" use the Debug Mod
Thanks a lot

"crap list" --- files wished to remove

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

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

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.

[The Obligatory][ROOT First] Applications Safe to Remove

List of stuff in system/app that you should/shouldn't delete.
All at your own risk, thx.
Notes:
- If my Galaxy S2 and Acer Liquid are of any indication, deleted apps stay deleted through a factory reset. BACKUP FIRST!
- ROM updates will most likely restore those deleted apps along with trashing your root. <_<'
- The Ouya stock ROM is odexed. You MUST delete the odex as well to excise the app completely. (You probably want to clear app data before deleting too, if you can.)
- I have the Xposed Framework installed, complete with Play Store and all that. I think I excluded all the files I pushed into System/App, but tell me if I made a mistake here.
Get rid of them if you feel like it
NoiseField.apk / .odex (Live wallpaper, android default)
MagicSmokeWallpapers.apk / .odex (Live Wallpaper, android default)
HoloSpiralWallpaper.apk / .odex (Live Wallpaper, android default)
VisualizationWallpapers.apk /.odex (Live Wallpaper, android default)
LiveWallpapers.apk/ .odex (Live Wallpaper, android default)
??? I think I shouldn't touch these but they don't seem necessary ???
Phone.apk/ .odex (...why is this here? The Ouya doesn't do GSM/CDMA voice...)
OUYAOOBE.apk/ .odex (OOBE = Out Of Box Experience, the setup program you go through on first run. Keep for Factory Reset safety.)
OUYAKeyboard.apk / .odex (I think this is the best IME you can use with the controller. Don't get rid of it.)
OUYAWallpaper.apk / .odex (OuyaLauncher is hardwired to use this Live Wallpaper, and I really don't wanna find out what happens if I toast it.)
Galaxy4.apk /.odex (Is this a Live Wallpaper?)
LiveWallpapersPicker.apk/ .odex (This one allows you to select Live Wallpapers that you installed. Ouya's stock launcher doesn't care, but if you're using BAXY, KEEP THIS)
SoundRecorder.apk/ .odex (The Ouya has no mic port but does support bluetooth headsets and their mics...)
UserDictionaryProvier.apk /.odex (SPEL CHUCKER)
VpnDialogs.apk / .odex (I think this allows you to VPN into your device. It may come in handy... if I ever learn how to use this function. :3)
!!! Do not touch !!!
MusicFX.apk / .odex (This is your "sound driver")
OuyaLauncher.apk / .odex (System UI, he who removes this - good luck, I can't help you)
PackageInstaller.apk /.odex (Unless you want to lose your ability to install .apks you copied into the device...)
Settings.apk /.odex (You get rid of this your business)
SettingsProvider.apk / .odex (see: Settings)
ApplicationsProvider.apk / .odex (Do you want to NOT run anything?)
BackupRestoreConfirmation.apk / .odex (Android's backup/restore interface. May be useless since Stock Ouya has no Google connection. Not touching because I'm not sure.)
Bluetootk.apk / .odex (Look I know ICS/JB Bluetooth has issues but at least the hardware's usable...)
Browser.apk/ .odex (??? ...not touching)
CertInstaller.apk /.odex (Since a lot of the good stuff is signed these days, don't get rid of this...)
DefaultContainerService.apk /.odex (??? ...not touching)
DownloadProvider.apk /.odex (unless you don't want to download anything ever again...)
DownloadProviderUi.apk/.odex (This one kicks in if you try to download a file from a web browser...)
DrmProvider.apk/ .odex (As much as I hate DRM, I'm leaving this in here just in case some DRM protected media files won't run...)
HTMLViewer.apk/ .odex (This is Ouya's internet browser, I think...)
InputDevices.apk /.odex (Unless you want your Ouya to become a paperweight...)
KeyChain.apk /.odex (Linked very closely to CertInstaller)
MediaProvider.apk /.odex (Music/Movie playback backend)
NetworkLocation.apk /.odex (I think this is the Assisted part of AGPS. It's also what allows Google Search to fuzzy your location if your GPS is off.)
NvCplSvc.apk /.odex (Rule of thumb, NEVER remove files with arcane names, because it could be the OS maker obfuscating an important system app...)
SharedStorageBackup.apk /.odex (???)
SystemUI.apk /.odex (... trust me, you don't wanna)
Ouya's firmware is actually quite clean and barebones, I'll give them that! No goddamn telco bloat!
Don't worry about getting rid of Live Wallpapers unless you really like the android defaults. You can always pull the APKs from another device and use them. Just don't get rid of the Picker if you want to keep using LWPs. (I suggest keeping the OuyaWallpaper, which happens to be an LWP, to keep the Picker happy.)
If I make any mistakes here, feel free to correct me.

[Q] I´d like add new apps for all users on my tablets like sistem apps. it´s posible?

When I create new users, they can use all the stocks apps (Gmail, youtube, G+...). I´d like to add more apps to use for all the new users ( f.e. file manager, titanium,...) and remplace the sistem app that I don´t use for others more usefull for me.
I try to add one app to sistem/app, and I can find it like a sistem app with Titanium, but it not appear on the rest of the users...
How can I do it? is posible?
Nexus 7 with root and stock rom
