[ATT/TMO/SPR + more] [Aroma De-Bloater] v1.00 Updated 11.17.2012

mrRobinson Note II De-Bloater
This is a fancy little Aroma Installer you can flash in CWM or TWRP and choose all the bloatware you want to remove from your system.
For any Galaxy Note II variant!
There are a few main selections.
Minimal de-bloat will remove everything that is recommended to remove.
Full de-bloat will remove everything that anyone would want to remove without breaking the system.
Individual sections for carrier, ATT, Sprint, Tmobile, More will be added...
Customize de-bloat lets you pick inter-matching between all the sections.
Most of you should choose "Custom". This will show you the lists with Recommended all being selected already and the deeper de-bloat apps being unselected. You can modify as you see fit.
Please take note, you can "flash" this in CWM and it will do nothing until you make your selections and then tell it to. So you can safely flash it, go to custom and peruse around at all the apps it can remove. If you want to do nothing simply bring up the menu and quit the installer.
HOW TO USE:
*Note, this will wipe cache and dalvik-cache for you so you don't have to.
Boot into recovery, from power off [hold vol.up + Home + power] until phone vibrates then release
Select Custom to modify selections of what is removed
click "de-bloat" button
thats it
Aroma info
*scrolling and/or touch can be off at times. No matter where you are volume keys can be used to scroll around, the back and menu keys function as expected and home or power buttons can be used to select.
Download: mrRobinson_Note_II_De_Bloater.v1.00.zip
Feedback: Please let me know if you would like more apps added to the minimal or full list. As long as they don't cause unnecessary FC's I'll add them.

This is good. Tks op

Well yes this is good. I wasn't able to test it and there have been almost 100 downloads now so I assume I at least had no syntax errors in the aroma. :good:
If you have apps left you think can go please let me know their exact name in system/app and your device (att,tmo,spr).

I just ran it on my stock rom. And it did nothing apps are still there.

make sure the apps that are still there weren't updated from market. if they were this removed them from system but their update will still reside in /data/app so you will want to remove it from there.

Working on re-bloat option... restoring apps you removed. Might even be able to add "disable" option first so you can safely test what you want to remove.

I'm looking forward to this feature.
Great work!

the debloat froze when it got to Yahoo news & weather for me. I had to do a battery pull. when the phone rebooted it seemed fine. I went back into the debloat and did a custom debloat and just unchecked Yahoo news & weather and it worked fine. this was on a Tmobile note II.

Well yes this is good

Thanx for this! Nice for those that just want to stay stock... and just remove the junk.

Can not wait for the option to add system apps as I have a great Rom but it only doesn't have group cast.

it will only be able to add if you had debloated them with this tool. in other words it will copy them off to your sd card so anything you had removed you have the option to put back on. if you flash a sep rom with stuff already removed that wouldn't help you in this case. someone can just post that apk for you.

I must be missing something how to use this.

Can we add Rogers to the list so we can remove all the Rogers bloat ware. There's like 6 bloat apps by Rogers.

Yea I can add those.

Will running this delete my personal settings and data?

Great tool, but several apps were not removed:
MediaHub
AT&T Navigator
MobileHotspot
S Suggest
myAT&T
I definitely remember checking mediahub to be removed, but I'm not sure if the other apps are listed in the de-bloater.
None of these apps were updated. Haven't done anything beyond rooting and installing CWM. In fact, my Google account hasn't even been setup. Why? I'm in the process of switching from Sprint Galaxy Note 2 to the AT&T version.

bump more people try this!

I tried it and went to custom. However many were prechecked. For a custom I expect it to not be prechecked. Also, how do I exit? I had to uncheck everything and pray nothing happened when I continued.

[A] Mods without hacking APKs or custom rom (multiwindow any app)

Install and run Exploit apk to get root:
Install XposedInstaller-ICS_JB-rc2.apk, follow instructions on post.
Install XposedMultiWindow.apk.
Open the Xposed Installer app (installed in step 2). Click 'Modules', then check 'xMulti Window Mod', and reboot. (activates the run-time patch allowing all apps to be multiwindow compatible).
BTW, there are more cool Xposed modules (like call recording, per-app dpi, and no 100% battery notification) you can download here. Xposedframework eliminates the need for stock rom chefs imho.

Amazing

So if I installed the new stock deodexed rooted Rom from teshxx (which has the new Tmo multi window update) I can still use the above method to add multiple apps to multiwindow?

Thanks again!

How do I know if the multi-window works? I followed all these steps, but what I got is exactly the same as before. Where is the multi-window and how to call it out? Tried long press the return button but nothing happened. Or it does not work for T-mobile device?

I have completed the installation and have to admit that this made my night. Huge props to the person who developed this. Installing on my partners note 2 as well. Looking forward to seeing what else xposed comesbup with

Did you do the T-mobile update from yesterday? If so toggle multi window on in Settings--->Display. If you've done that then hold down your back button for a couple seconds the multi window should pop up at the left. You can hold back to hide it again.

Updated the subject. As the post above states, you need to be running the newest update.
This situation is an excellent example of why the xposed framework is such a great way to mod.
Had this been a standard flash patch, you would likely have force closes, or worse a soft brick.
With xposed, those problems are a thing of the past. If it can't hook the mod in, nothing happens (just as you are seeing). Hopefully in a future release there will be some indicator if a mod cant be hooked in.

Nevermind... got it working. F'n awesome, thank you!

Thank you for posting this mod. This made my day - I like keeping my phones with stock rom for as long as I can for stability sakes, and this mod is just what I needed.

Are there any draw backs to this mod? I was reading the original Exploit apk post and some are talking about a green camera screen.

If you just root through the app you'll be fine. The green camera screen happens when you check the boxes to actually disable the exploit.

Can someone please answer this? I don't want to get this mod and have every single app of mine show up on the multi window list, I just want a certain selection of apps
edit: nevermind, I installed it and you get to choose the apps to add to the list if anyone is wondering. They don't all just show up on the bar, you get a list of yours app and you edit the bar to choose what you want to add

Maybe you misunderstood him? All apps will only show when you click on edit. From that edit screen, you can then drag specific apps over to the multiview bar. After you're done editing, only apps you dragged over will show on the bar.
So two different things here: edit screen and the bar itself.

Hello everyone.
One question on this root process, can we install and use overclock applications such as SetCPU and TunerPro?
And if we had to, can the process be reversed and go back to stock unroot Note II?
Thank you.

1. Yes, once you're rooted, you can use apps that request root like SetCPU, Titanium Backup, AdAway, etc.
2. Yes, if you're on stock rom and recovery, you just go to SuperSu > Settings > Full Unroot.

Wow thanks that's the fastest root i have done. ALSO easy to be on Stock rom and have multi Window with every single app. Much thanks

Pls help!!! GT-I9192 ROOT

Hi All,
I'm trying very hard to search for the best method/option for rooting my Samsung GT-I9192 Duos(India Version) but not found any as yet.
Not sure if I have knox or not(is there is way to find out?) but I would prefer an option which does not void my warranty. Although if I have to, I don't mind foregoing the warranty. Also, I need only root - custom kernel, etc may not be required, Thanks
Can you please suggest the best and simplest method/option(preferably one click) to root my device having the following specs:
Model: GT-I9192
Android version: 4.2.2
Baseband version: I9192DDU1BML1
Kernel version: 3.4.0-1971249
[email protected] #1
Sat Dec 14 21:59:36 KST 2013
Build number: JDQ39.I9192DDU1BML1
Appreciate any help urgently, Thanks!!!
BS

well if you don't mind sending your info to some server in china [as some ppl claim] kngo root is your safest bet and you do have knox, you can always check it by going in download mode and see it if the word knox is there, which it will be in your case , btw after using kingo root you cannot boot into recovery you have to flash a custom recovery which will also trip your knox . or you might get lucky as me on the same build as you , rooted via kingo on I9192DDU1BML1 , deleted all Knox files [ search this forms for which files to delete] , flashed cwm recovery , flashed custom kernels, and still din't trigger knox only god knows why as i can't figure it out.
there are some other methods like saferoot , just do a search on this forums.

The BML1 has knox and saferoot does not work on BML1. Kingo works fine and I have rooted the BML1 on mine using Kingo
Sent from my GT-I9192

Some how Kingo refuses to work with my device. At first with Kies installed, it would connect to my device and get stuck at 0% on the "Downloading Device Driver Software Screen". I waited hours but it was still stuck at 0%.
After reading up on their support page, I downloaded and installed the drivers manually. But now Kingo wont connect to my device.
It does initiate a connection when I plug the cable/device in USB but after a few seconds, its back to the home screen saying "Device Not Connected".
I have tried the following drivers with/without Kies 3:
SAMSUNG_USB_Driver_for_Mobile_Phones_1.5.24.0.exe
SAMSUNG_USB_Driver_for_Mobile_Phones_v1.5.33.0.exe
What am I doing wrong? Hope there is another option/method if Kingo doesnt work out, Thanks again.

Hi... Yes, developer mode was turned on before starting the procedure.
What else could it be? Thanks

I have no clue. Do you have another Samsung phone to prove the setup on the computer? The Samsung drivers can recognize any Samsung phone if they have been installed properly.

Yes, I did root a Note 2 successfully with the same computer/setup but another/manual method(using Odin) with only Kies installed. I guess all required device drivers get installed when you install kies? This is the first time i'm using Kingo though.

Will this method work for my device? The only concern is I don't see I9192DDU1BML1 mentioned anywhere. Thanks

^ this method did work for me on the earlier firmware before BML1, but i lost my wifi so had to flash a custom kernel , dunno if it will work for ML1 as for usb try dialing *#0808# from your cell this would take you in usb settings, tick both mtp+adb , reboot , if they art already ticked uncheck them and check them again.
had the same issue with kies and s4 drivers this sorted it out .

Yes I have already hidden the Supersu, thanks though for the alternative approach.
A couple of observations though, which may or may not be significant:
1) While installing SuperSu, there was a pop-up on the device which said something like "SuperSu has tried to make changes to your device and was blocked. It gave only 2 options I think (a) Block now or (b) Inform me again after 30 days. I chose option b.
2) I chose to block KNOX when it asked me as soon as I started SuperSu and It gave me a success message.
Now my question is - Will this 30 day counter give a prompt to block supersu again after 30 days?
If someone chooses Yes, then what will happen? Will the device become unrooted or apps needing root become dysfunctional?
I did block KNOX later so shouldn't all these notifications etc not come up anymore. Thanks!!

From what ive found from another thread:
"Originally Posted by MasterTentacles
The only think you need ahead of time is your MSL. This isn't too hard to get from Sprint customer service. I got mine via an app called MSL Utility, which it seems now crashes every time I try to use it on Lollipop.
The steps:
Go to Dialer and enter ##DATA# (##3282#)
Press "Edit" then enter your MSL.
Click on APN Settings
For both "APN2 EHRPD internet" and "APN2 LTE internet" change APN Type from "default,mms" to "default,mms,dun"
After you enter the change, hit Menu -> Save before going to the next APN."
However seems like they changed it with the new lollipop update so that you cant go in and find your msl number, I even tried to find it with terminal emulator after being rooted and couldnt find it. Should be noted though that you can supposedly find your msl on a lower android. If you by chance call in to get this number write it down and keep it safe as doing a prl update will put it back to normal and lose this function
However If you are rooted download Galaxy tools and it will work perfect. Plus you will have the option to get all of your quick notification toggles like wifi hotspot and data if you so wish with the .apk
Galaxy Tools
For your debloating you can just uninstall the apps you dont want and disable the others that wont go away so that they wont update or show up in your app drawer.
If you are rooted you can use this System app remover (ROOT)
good luck

I guess next question would be what is the safest way to root and what is needed.

For me the safest and easiest way was to use skipsofts' Unified Android Toolkit. I personally choose this as it finds and downloads all the latest files and drivers and just prompts you with options as well as clear instructions on what to do next. You also have an option to inject a custom recovery and backup too. Im lazy and let it organize my files for me
If you feel pretty confident you can do search the interwebs for the latest odin and chainfire tar Put your phone into download mode (power down and boot back up holding down the volume ↓ + pwr + menu button) make sure auto reboot is ticked along with f. reset in odin plug in your phone then go to the pda/ap spot and locate that tar file. Hit start and let it run. It should take only like 30 seconds or so. Aftwards power your phone go to supersu and update the binaries. Later flash a custom recovery like twrp or clockwork if you care to flash more things later.
Thats a pretty quick run down of how to do it. If you want more details you can always google it
EDIT: It should be noted that rooting will trip KNOX

Screen mirror not working AFTER ROOT

Hello,
I was wondering, I rooted my GS6 Edge and it is not letting me screen mirror. It says Unable to screen mirror due to a hardware issue. I then unrooted and tried it again, it mirrored no problems. Why would root cause my screen mirror ability not work?

I used the chainfire smg920t file to root using odin3 v3.10.6, I am not sure if the smg925t still bricks the phone or not. Not sure if it matters or not.

I can screen mirror after root.

Nope...not working for me either after root. Coincidentally, I had the same issue with my Galaxy Tab S 10.5.
This is a known issue with Samsung devices after root. Please try the steps in this video. I got it working after that.

Worked on Samsung S7 edge, smart view fails to connect after root, this method solve the issue.
Many thanks!

Latest TWRP is the cause of screen mirror break. If you Odin ROM and root using UniKernel through Odin, everything will work.
For me, the working combination (Gear VR and screen mirror working) is as follows:
TWRP wipe caches, data, internal, system
Odin>
DOJC (latest stock rom before mm. Untested with mm)
reboot
install gear vr (optional)
Odin>
S6_UniKernel_v8-0002-ODIN
reboot
Odin>
uncheck reboot first then
TWRP 2.8.7.1 (3.0.2 breaks screen mirroring)
reboot into recovery do not install SU from TWRP
flash OZOP_ROMless_v2 to debloat (optional)
profit

Using any root explorer go to system/build.prop
-add this line at last
wlan.wfd.hdcp = disable (remove any spaces after that)
- save and reboot.

hi,
i do have that on my S7 edge but it still isn't working...
May i ask if yours is still working, what rom you're using and what version of TWRP (i read this might cause issues)?
Thanks

I have this Screen View Mirroring problem too....
First some info about my phone, and how I rooted it,
then the question follows below that...
PHONE INFO:
I have a "Samsung Galaxy S7 Exynos (SM-G930F) "
I have NOT updated the phones software (OTA/ODIN)
Android Version 6.0.1
Baseband Version: G930FXXU1BPJG
BuildNumber: MMB29K.G930FXXU1BPJG
(Android Security Patch Level: 01.NOV.2016)
I have rooted it using "ODIN" with "Samsung USB Drivers"
and "Download Mode" to flash the phone with ROOT...
Flashed it with this file "CF-Auto-Root-herolte-heroltexx-smg930f.zip" (Contains ChainFire Root + TWRP)
Seems to be "TWRP-3.0.2.4-herolte.img" thats installed on my phone now... This could probably (maybe) be changed with the use of the app "TWRP Manager", if needed, to another version of TWRP...
Then I restarted the phone, and booted into recovery (TWRP)
did select WIPE + FORMAT DATA in TWRP.
Then I installed the XPOSED FRAMEWORK using TWRP.
I installed "xposed-v86.0-sdk23-arm64-custom-build-by-wanam-20160709.zip"
All of this works! I get ROOT and I get TWRP, and XPOSED with different modules to work... So far so great...
THE QUESTION:
Then there was the Screen Mirroring part (Smart View/QuickConnect)
This is NOT working at all on my phone, after rooting the phone...
I did the EDIT of the "/SYSTEM/build.prop" file, as suggested above, and added the "wlan.wfd.hdcp=disable" line to the end of that file. Saved "build.prop" and rebooted.
This made my "GRUNDIG TV" (not a samsung tv) connect to the phone, asking for the PIN, and upon entering the PIN, a black screen opened on the middle of the tv screen (where content from the phone would normally be) and only a mouse pointer is visible in the black middle part of the screen (the content space).
I then later tested the same phone (with no new changes) at a friends house, connected it to a 55inch Samsung with a curved display, and there it worked as expected...
Both sound and image was transferred... But at home, only a "black box w/mouse pointer" in the middle of the screen - no image transferred...
PS: WHILE HAVING THAT EDITED LINE AT THE END OF THE "build.prop" FILE...
I also noticed that some pages could not be opened in FIREFOX while having this edited line at the bottom of the "build.prop", and apps like SureSpot and Wickr could not be logged into...
It is as if the mobile networking on my phone was partly working, and partly not....
So I edited the line away, using a #hashta, aka: commented it away, then saved it, and restarted the phone, and could now immediately log into SureSpot/Wickr and open the pages in FireFox that could not be opened before.... (with the line of code active in "build.prop")
So my question is... How can I make this work with my GrundigTV ???
I need ROOT for other fine-grained control of apps and the android system, and I need XPOSED too, to get that fine control...
So my question is:
How can I maintain ROOT and XPOSED (using the method explained above, to root the phone)
and still change around "something" to make Screen Mirroring (Smart View) work with any TV? And not having that fix, create strange problems with app connectivity.....?
PS: I've also updated "QuickConnect" to the version
(v 4.1.8980705.0)
using "Samsung Apps" to update it... As it seems to have something to do with this...

I'm having the exact same problem, any success?

The same problem on A3 2017 (SM-A320F) using CMW Recovery and latest SuperSU zip to root. I will try some suggestions above to see if I can fix this.

Use a file browser such as Root Browser and go to the root of your device then locate the "System" folder and find build.prop and edit it with any application that can edit it and find the bottom line, right at the edge of the bottom line you need to press enter twice and then paste this:
wlan.wfd.hdcp=disable
And then save it and reboot your device.
