same ?

is there any solution to hide xposed detector? i have same problem too.

I have just experienced this error trying to play Future Fight first time seeing this I rebooted my device and the error is gone for now
edit: after rebooting my device I thought the error was gone but it pops up and the game crashes anyone find a solution maybe its a conflicting module idk I am using a OPO running Exodus Rom 5.1..1

we an application that has function like "root cloak" to hide xposed installer.

I don't know so much about xposed, but can we rename the xposed package to another name so the game doesn't detect the Xposed?

UPDATE!!!!!! XPOSED SECURITY ALERT CODE 2 FIX / SOLUTIONS
*** A NEW THREAD WITH ALL THE MOST RECENT INFO IS HERE:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/xposed/xposed-security-alert-code-2-netmarble-t3400258/
It is maintained & up to date!
============================================================================
Original initial post:
Hope this helps others. I have tried everything EXCEPT uninstalling xposed: rootcloak, xprivacy, xposed blacklist, lucky patcher, etc.
I am running lollipop 5.01 with unofficial xposed v8x for samsung. Xposed installer is a system app, the modules are not.
Using a file manager app with root, in the /data/data folder,
simply rename the folder called de.robv.android.xposed.installer
( i rename it to de.robv.android.xposed.installer2 )
Then launch the game, future fight. (Works fine for me)
you do not have to reboot! Just rename the folder.
When you are done with game and exit it, dont forget to rename
the xposed installer folder in /data/data back to de.robv.android.xposed.installer
It would be nice if someone could make an app or xposed module that could
simply toggle the renaming of the /data/data/de.robv.android.xposed.installer folder!
I did not have to disable any modules or even reboot: simply renaming the folder above was all it took to get past the xposed security alert 2 error that prevents the game from running. Funny thing is, the xposed modules are running undetected, you just cant change module settings while the de.robv.android.xposed.installer folder is renamed.
My conclusion is that netmarble is somehow looking for specific folders/files as their way of detecting "anti-cheat" - which xposed is not!!!!
Hope this helps others out who want to play, but uninstalling xposed is a deal breaker!

You can use Tasker to automate the renaming process.

re: tasker
Ive looked at tasker. It would appear that it lacks a "rename" function for files: it only gives options for create, delete, copy, move, zip, etc - but no rename.
Thanks for the suggestion, however,
I guess I will just stick with the root file manager manual renaming method.
Just wanted to play Marvel Future Fight without uninstalling xposed framework/installer.
I have been playing it for a while now, and like I said, dont have to uninstall/disable modules or even reboot. Ive seen alot of others having same issue with netmarble games / future fight.
Its actually a pretty neat game! Its ashame netmarble and other companies are calling xposed a "3rd party cheating application" lmao.

To rename, you copy the old directory in the same place with the new name and then you delete the old directory.

future fight / rush n krush xposed security alert code 2 fix
Just downloaded rush n krush from playstore. It gives the same xposed security alert code 2 and quits.
Using the renaming folder trick i discovered, rush n krush also works!
This method should work on other netmarble games too.
xposed security alert code 2 FIX:
(1) Using a file manager app with root, in the /data/data folder,
simply rename the folder called de.robv.android.xposed.installer
( i rename it to de.robv.android.xposed.installer2 )
(2) Then launch the game, future fight. (Works fine for me)
you do not have to reboot! Just rename the folder.
(3) When you are done with game and exit it, dont forget to rename
the xposed installer folder in /data/data back to de.robv.android.xposed.installer

Dear all ,we have other functions, to solve this problems?

Interesting. I will try it as soon as possible and let you know.
Edit:
It works. Now I can play 7knight again. Thank you very much
I also made the tasker to get the job done automatically

Re: tasker
Although tasker might work, I actually found a much better solution:
An app on the google play store called "automate"
Its much better than tasker, i think
(1) It supports file/folder renaming - its faster to rename a folder VS having to copy files to a new folder then delete, then having to reverse the copy/delete folder to restore xposed data
(2) it supports tasker's plugins
(3) you can add an icon to the desktop to run the task ( without a console popping up like Smanager )
(4) ITS FREE to download, unlike TASKER, but can be upgraded to premium
(5) it uses flowcharts to design your tasks, and essentially does everything tasker can do
Now I have an icon on the desktop that:
(A) Launches Future Fight
(B) renames the XPOSED folder as in my early posts
(C) monitors Future Fight app is running
(D) restores XPOSED folder's original name when you exit the game
Works like a champ!
I uploaded it to the Automate Community ( Marvel Future Fight in category Games )
If anyone else wants to use automate to play Future Fight with xposed. ENJOY!

Netmarble games , xposed security alert code 2 errors fix soultion
I uploaded Seven Knights ( automate community ).
Install "automate" from playstore. Download future fight or seven knights from automate communtity.
be sure to enable the required permissions automate tells you it needs for the script!
Then to play other netmarble games, just use either the future fight or seven knights as a template to create a new launcher.....
In automate, edit the flowchart... long press on a block & select all, then copy the flowchart.
Create a new flowchart and paste the copied blocks.
Then you just need to edit a few blocks:
1. In the flow beginning, change the title to your game. Also, click on the Install Homescreen Shortcut to
Add a launcher icon on your desktop.
2. In the Start App Main Activity block, change the package to your game, then change the activity class
To your games .main.activity.
3. In the When in Foreground App block, change the package to your game.
Save by clicking Done. Then try out your shortcut on your desktop.
This should work for ALL netmarbles games! ( at least until they change their xposed detection methods )
Ive worked very hard and spent many hours coming up with this solution.
please give thanks for my efforts if my posts have been helpful!
XDA-DEVELOPERS is THE BEST TECHNICAL WEBSITE! PERIOD!
I am glad that to be able to contribute something back to the community.

Update re: automate scripts
The future fight / seven knights automate scripts uses a
detect app running in foreground to determine when to
restore the renamed /data/data xposed folder's name...
What this means is that if you task switch ( change focus to another app )
Then automate will assume youve exited the game, and restore xposed....
This will cause game to detect xposed and give the error code.
this only happens if you minimize / switch apps. Games run fine so
long as you keep it in foreground.
I will check into automate and see if theres a way to use a detect running apps
instead of the detect foreground app. ( i am noob to automate and just learning )
Anyways, just wanted to point that out to other users...
*** UPDATE ***
OK, I did find a way to do the above. It required an additional plugin to detect running apps
vs the native detect foreground apps....
I uploaded an updated version of MARVEL FUTURE FIGHT (UPDATED) to automate community:
This updated version requires a tasker plugin called "TASKER PROCESSES RUNNING (KC)" - BE SURE TO DOWNLOAD IT FROM PLAYSTORE ( IT IS FREE )
This version allows you to minimize the game / switch to other apps, then back to the game WITHOUT causing the xposed security alert code 2 to trigger.
You could use this updated version as a template to create launchers for other netmarble games
that give nasty xposed security alert code 2 errors...
To do so is basically the same as the past post, only difference is that the
foregound app running block is now the plugin (puzzle piece with ?) Block
Click on it & configure button - then choose your game from the app list.
Of course, the older version works without the extra plugin, only catch is that
the game must stay in active foreground to prevent xposed detected error in game,
whereas the updated version solves that issue.
I would update automate launchers for other netmarble games, but since i do not
have them on my tab, i cant create them. If others create them and upload to automate community, please be sure in the uploaded description to include "Thanks DeepPurple72 !"
Feel free to CLICK THANKS.

Just some info :
Is automate support yes/no dialog?
I use yes/no dialog on tasker to confirm rename or not when minimize the game
If automate support yes/no dialog, you can use it

Automate does support several yes/no functions in its flowcharts.
like i said earlier, i am noob to automate and just learning some of it.
it is an alternative to tasker, and even supports taskers plugins, without
the need of tasker being installed. Automate is free, tasker is not!
If you are a tasker user, I would HIGHLY recommend that you at least download
AUTOMATE from the playstore and check it out! I think it can do everything
that tasker can do & like i said, even can use tasker plugins too.
you can easily share your scripts with the community directly from
within the app itself too - which is a major plus! :good:
The updated future fight script works great! I can switch to another app & then back to game without any issues. It checks for running processes every 10 seconds to determine when game has been exited.
so you need to wait about 10secs after exiting game before opening xposed installer or changing modules settings ( youll get an xposed error if you run xposed before the script restores the data folder's name). You could change the polling interval in the processes running block, but doing so could
effect cpu usuage / possibly cause lag in games.
But reguardless, the goal was to be able to run netmarble games without sacrificing xposed.
You can manually rename the folder as in the earlier posts, or use one of the automate scripts,
or create your own method/scripts using other apps. How you choose to do it is up to you.
The main thing that I wanted to share with others is the fact that YES you can run netmarble games
without having to uninstall xposed or have to reboot...
Renaming the xposed installer's data folder before running game, then restoring the folders name
after you quit the game is the best solution, since it can be done on-the-fly.
The automate scripts are optional for those who do not feel comfortable using root file managers
to do the renaming or having to create scripts of their own.
I am lazy and like to just click on a single icon that does it all for me! LoL
---------- Post added at 03:10 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:01 PM ----------
I am looking into making a toggle on/off xposed generic script for automate & will upload it to automate community once it has been tested.
In theory, you can have an icon on the desktop that can check if the original folder exists and rename it or vice-versa + pop up a toast message to let you know the current state. This could work as a generic universal xposed switch for netmarble games and an alternative to creating a launcher for each game.
---------- Post added at 04:09 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:10 PM ----------
Ok, the TOGGLE XPOSED script works & has been uploaded to automate community!
It is titled "bypass Netmarble's XPOSED Security Alert Code 2" under GAMES category.
Note: edit the flowchart, tap on the BEGINNING block, then tap on the
INSTALL HOMESCREEN SHORTCUT button to add an icon to your desktop!
Enjoy!

[NTG][1.2]GlowNooter 1.12.25

This Nooter is officially supported by The Nooter Project for Nook Simple Touch​
I'm not adding certain things because I don't believe they should be available as part of a rooting kit designed to give users more control of their devices. Things such as additional readers or CPU Clocks are up to the user to install themselves and needlessly putting them in Nooter creates app bloat that a user may or may not want. You can always drop Apps you want into \nooter\data\app and they will install automatically when you root the device. This Nooter is designed with the sole purpose of opening up the possibilities of the device by giving users Root, Google Apps, and other Apps which make the device more usable as an android device than just an e-reader.
What it does:
Enables ADB via uRamdisk
Installs adbWireless
Installs Button Savior
Installs Amazon Marketplace
Installs su and Superuser.apk
Installs ADW + E-ink Friendly Theme
Installs Busybox & Busybox Installer/Uninstaller
Installs Gapps (Gmail, Market, Youtube, Others)
Installs NookColor Tools (To Enable Non-Market Installs)

Dude, nice job! Now to go buy a glowlight.
Hi,
Hmm, awesome =), just installed this on my Nook STR Glow.
Two questions
1. What's the best way to get Market searching enabled?
I've heard of installing SearchMarket - however, how do you do that? Do you just find the APK and install it manually?
2. Is it possible to install the Multitouch and NoRefresh patch from here?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1568560
Or is the Glowlight version different enough that these won't work?
Cheers,
Victor
Anybody have trouble with getting the Opera Mini that comes with this to work? It doesn't even open for me. I installed Dolphin Mini and it seems to work ok but I'd like to get Opera working.

This is great!
Is there a way to add menus and/or keyboard with another language?

Try opera mobile, not mini.
@glowco: I'm looking at GD's scripts and the tinynoot scripts right now.
It looks as if I used the same binary (despite the different name) for the
/system/app/Superuser piece (the file sizes and mod dates are identical.)
I used a different release of busybox, though. So the busybox my script installed would be overwritten by the glownoot busybox.
My advice is that if you want to get the google apps working, restore from a nonrooted backup and use this tool. I'm very likely to ignore my advice on my own device and see what happens, but today's not likely the day that's going to happen.
The line in glownooter that does the copy-in is:
package_extract_dir("system/xbin/", "/system/xbin/");
Unless the package_extract_dir command wipes a directory before copying in the file, you'd overwrite busybox at that step but leave the links to it. The links would probably continue to work but if there's an important difference between the two busyboxes, you might find it made trouble in a weird, random way long after you'd forgotten that you'd overlaid one root with another.
The busybox updater/manager might alleviate that issue - not sure what Ed's or GD's take on overlaying one root with another is.
Roustabout, thanks for your reply. I'm not rushing into anything, so if you do decide to try installing this over yours, let us know the results. (I tend to like the easier approach if it works okay.)
Maybe I should take this opportunity to ask an additional question: what will this root let me do that tinynoot didn't, other than run the Market? What additional apps would it allow me to run that would actually run well?
One app I have partially working on tinynoot is Jabiru, a jabber chat client. The basic chat connection works, but the Conference function crashes the session. I doubt this other root would make a difference in something like that?
Thanks.
I just did this and it works great. The only problem I have noticed is that when I am in gtalk and trying to chat I only see the top two rows of keys. Is anyone else getting this or know how to fix it?
Hi,
before to try rooting the nstglowlight, is it possible to make backup with noogie like the normal NST ?
Yes, you can and should boot from a noogie disk and make a whole-device backup before changing things up, just like with the NST.
Assuming that tinynoot used MinimalNooter as a basis for it's design (as is evident by the forum convo) then GlowNooter will run perfectly fine without any issues, however keep in mind that because the package names for files in GlowNooter in /data/app are likely to be different than those in tinynoot you'll end up with multiple copies of things like Amazon market, which doesn't actually affect performance, but can take up more space. So you have two options, the first is to do a fresh install onto a fresh NTG, or you can install this on top of tinynoot and go in and remove the excess files using Super Manager.

Using an alternative keyboard could fix it, the major issue is finding an alternative keyboard that is e-ink friendly. This tends to be broken in the app itself, because I have noticed the Google Voice app will do the same exact thing on nook devices.

The difference between this and tinynoot IS the fact it has Market on it, you can actually go to google.com/play now and install apps to the device. Other than that there is no major difference.
Yeah, folks should understand what tinynoot grew out of: I wanted the smallest set of changes I could make to have a rooted NST usable by me. I almost didn't include the Amazon appstore, but then realized there were things I wanted from it and that it'd be more helpful to others if there was at least something
That's very bare-bones, because I don't use the NST for too much other than reading - I want an rss reader, a non-BN book reader and my contacts (via b-folders, rather than a google account,) and at that point I'm pretty much done. I often install what I want to a fresh device just using adb or pm from a commandline
Gabrial's trying to get the Google market working because so many folks really want it.
Also, I tested tinynoot against an NST last night and was able to root that using it, which is helpful to me.
That said, here are the files tinynoot copies in; it sounds as if the two rooting tools are compatible, which is helpful.
in system:
/system/xbin/busybox
/system/bin/su
/system/app/NookColorTools.apk
/system/app/com.noshufou.android.su.apk
and in /data/app:
ADW.Launcher_v1.3.6_Standalone.apk
Amazon_Appstore-2.1.0.apk
BusyBox_v7.3.apk
Button_Savior_v1.3.1.apk
NookTouchTools_v1.0-beta2.apk
Super_Manager_v2.6.0.apk
adbWireless_v1.4.1.apk
and that's that.

Xposed for A7 2016

Hello Sirs
I want to install xposed on my (SM-A710FD) phone which is 5.1.1 android
This is a 2017 series.
For what do you need Xposed? I have tried it on my tablet and there is little to no use for Xposed. Maybe I change my mind if you tell me some good modules.

The problem with Xprivacy is that it is quite hard to understand. There are no community driven settings like in uBlock Origin (adblocker for pc). Nor there are options for temporary allowance. Besides, Android 6 already has permissions per app.

What is there to understand? My 13 year old nephew managed to set it up.
Android 6 does not offer this many options. Can you stop an app getting your IMEI or Phone serial details? Why does an app need your IMEI?
It comes with default settings such as location (Christmas island) IMEI 00000000 etc.
1-Install the correct version of Xposed for your device.
2-Install Xprivacy app.
3-Launch, allow Root, click on Template and set each permission request to block.
4-Reboot phone, launch Xprivacy, see if template has been applied.
5-Install an app or game. You'll get notification from Xprivacy with template applied.
6-Allow the permissions that the app needs. Eg Firefox browser needs Internet,Network,IPC,System allowed to work.
For games I don't allow any permissions and it still works.
If you need to allow temporary permissions just launch Xprivacy and turn it off for that app.

Blocking everything isn't a solution as apps need for example the shell and filesystem to store setting files at first startup.
There are sub permissions which are quite unclear if you can disable them. Plus, after every app update the new nag screens come up and apps might not work anymore. You say Firefox needs ABC. But how to know what each app needs at bare minimum?

You are not blocking everything for ever.
The template is set to block all at first app install so that the app doesn't get access to sensitive information that it doesn't need. You can deny the sub permissions if you want but this can effect how the app behaves. You don't need to mess with the sub permissions.
At every app update Xprivacy will re apply the permissions that you've already set for that app. You don't need to re do it.
As to allowing Shell and system at first start up go back into Xprivacy and allow these permissions/ re launch app.
The ABC for Firefox was an example. Firefox is a web browser so obviously it needs data access. Root Explorer obviously needs Shell, and System and so on.It is easier then you think.
Once you have setup all the permissions for your apps and they are working Xprivacy has a function to save or export your setup. So that if you change ROM all you need to do is import it and it will do the rest.
If you read the link I included all the answers to your questions are there. Google is useful too.

[DEBLOAT] [OOS, Customs] Tomatot Debloater 4.1 (+++Battery, RAM, Privacy)

Hello guys,
Introduction
Today is my first step in the android development world. And I'm starting with something very little. I've created this tool for myself but I thought I could share it, as it could be useful to you as well and you could help me to improve it.
Big announcements
1) Officially supported custom ROMs:
-OmniRom
-LiquidRemix
-Skydragon
-ArrowOS
-AEX
What can you expect from flashing my script?
I think my script is interesting because its utility is completely complementary with a custom ROM or kernel: what it does has nothing to do with the kernel, so it doesn't interfere at all. And it's concrete stuff, not some supposed-to-be optimization where you're not even sure it's going to do something. I'm usually not a huge fan of these apps / modules.
-You'll get more privacy: I've removed Qualcomm telemetry, OnePlus telemetry as well as some Google Telemetry (but you can't expect too much as long as you use gapps)
-You'll get better battery life: less apps running in the background, less wakelocks, less services communicating with servers to send telemetry.
-You'll get better performance: for the same reasons. Don't expect a huge difference as our phone is very smooth already.
-The feeling of having a clean device. And this has no price.
As a proof, see this (both screenshots were taken after a fresh boot):
Extreme script:
https://imgur.com/2O47su8
19 system apps running, for a total of of 31 services running. I'm not counting Google Play services as the number of services running keep changing.
No script:
https://imgur.com/E5cEr7P
36 apps running, for a total of 60 services running! I find the difference quite huge.
What does it do?
The point is to be very very basic. Obviously I don't intend to to share something as powerful and exhaustive as xXx. My objective is to only focus on bloatwares, not features.
Also, I wanted to make a script simple enough so anybody can use it, understand it and modify it depending on your needs.
I think I can call myself a flasholoic, as I flash ROMs quite often, even when I'm happy with the current one. There are many time consuming and boring tasks when it comes to clean flash a new ROM. However, for most of them, there's a solution. For example, Titanium Backup, to mention just one.
With this script, you'll be able to skip the very boring process of removing/freezing all the system apps you don't use.
You can use this script with no worries whenever you flash your new ROM.
Why don't i Freeze apps instead of removing them?
Ideally, I would prefer to only freeze apps so the setup can stick after an update or a dirty flash, however, I don't know how to do it from recovery. Freezing works with the command from package manager "pm disable {package_name}", however, it's only available when the phone is running.
What version should I install?
-Invisible script: Install it, enjoy. I basically removed only apps related to telemetry or that don't have any function. You should still have all the apps you're using and all the features you like.
-Light Script: Invisible + apps that I consider rarely use (because they're useless or because alternatives are much popular). It should fit to 80% people without any change to make.
-Extreme script: Invisible + light + a few Google Apps (most of them can be reinstalled) and features that are not absolutely necessary but useful for some people, like face unlock for example. I wouldn't recommend it to anyone who hasn't check the .txt file first. The light script is almost as good anyway.
How to Install?
Simply reboot to TWRP, flash the zip, reboot and enjoy.
If this doesn't work, you can try three different things:
-Try to use blu spark Recovery instead of other ones.
-Try to mount system in recovery before flashing my .zip.
-Try to install Magisk and this module: https://github.com/Magisk-Modules-Repo/busybox-ndk
-Try to install the script on both slots
At least one of these options should fix things for you.
Known incompatibilities
-If the script doesn't do anything, check installing instructions.
-If an app keeps force closing when you try to open it (for example the Google app, gmail, amazon, etc.), it's because you don't have any webview selected. You can select one in the developer settings and if you don't have any you can install one from the play store (Android System Webview).
-If some apps are remaining, it's because it's system apps you updated and they became user apps. You can just uninstall them like any other user apps and it will completely disappear.
-If an app that is included in the script freezes, but it's also available in the playstore, uninstall it with Titanium Backup, reboot and reinstall the app from play store.
-If you're using substratum, you must edit my script and remove this line: "/system/system/app/OpSkin",
-If your bank app doesn't work, you can try to add back Stk (sim toolkit), as the app helps for authentication.
-In general, search this thread if you want more details / understand why.
F.A.Q.
-I don't want to use this debloater anymore or it broke something I miss, how can I go back to normal?
=> Dirty flash your current setup (ROM, twrp, reboot to twrp, magisk, kernel, anything else you want)
-Does this script work for X or Y ROM? Can you make a debloater for X or Y ROM?
=> If you understand how my tool work, then you will understand that my scripts can potentially work on any ROMs, but each ROM has its specific apps so some bloatware won't be removed, most likely. I won't support any new ROM except if I end up trying it myself. I prefer to avoid to create new scripts blindly especially if I've never experienced the ROM.
-I flashed your deblaoter and now some apps keep force closing
=> "If an app keeps force closing when you try to open it (for example the Google app, gmail, amazon, etc.), it's because you don't have any webview selected. You can select one in the developer settings and if you don't have any you can install one from the play store (Android System Webview)."
Where can I get more info?
Check the .txt file in the download section. It lists all the apps included in the different scripts AND all the apps not included (so you can see what apps you want to potentially add, it's much easier to work like that)
How are the apps sorted in the .txt file?
-First, by categories (each category starting with #) (invisible, light, extreme, etc.)
-Then, they're sorted by their type (reserve / app / priv-app / other)
-Then, simply by alphabetic order.
-At the end of the document file, there are some explanations about some apps that can sound... mysterious about whether it's safe or not to delete them.
How to edit the script and make it work? (TUTORIAL)
Prerequisites
-Root (ideal but not mandatory)
-File manager (ideal but not mandatory, I recommend Amaze https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.amaze.filemanager&hl=en_AU )
-TWRP
Then you have two alternatives
a) Use your computer (Windows): you will need Zip Builder https://forum.xda-developers.com/an...g/tool-zip-builder-v4-2-1-build-sign-t3739556
b) Use your phone: then you will need MiXplorer ( https://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1523691 )
Steps to follow
1) Download my script.
2) Unzip it. Browse to META-INF\com\google\android and open "updater-script" in a notepad. (I'd recommend you notepad++ ( https://notepad-plus-plus.org/download/ )
3) Add some apps you want to delete, or remove the apps you want to keep. To see what apps are on your device, use a file manager that can use root and check the apps you have in /system/app and system/priv-app. The priv-app are usually more sensitive so be cautious with them.
4) Don't forget that on every line, you need a comma at the end, except for the last app of the list.
5) You don't need to touch any other lines, except if you want to have fun and change what TWRP will display: it's the lines with
Code:
ui_print("")
6) Save your file.
7) a) Windows alternative. Follow instructions to install properly Zip Builder. Then shift + right click on the parent folder of the META-INF folder and click on "Build Zip...". If Zip Builder is set up properly, you will see the option I just mentioned. You can also open the program and browse to the parent folder where META-INF is.
Copy the .zip to your phone and you're good to go!
7) b) Android alternative: Install MiXplorer. Long press on the META-INF folder. Confirm the creation of the archive, pick the name you want and make sure that "store" is selected, below "zip". Then select the newly created zip, and click on the "Sign" option. Choose Testkey. It will create yourzip-signed.zip. That's the file you need to flash in TWRP.
8) Flash in TWRP
Let me know if you need any help or if something is not clear to you.
Downloads, risks, credits, Information
Where to download?
Check the attachments!
What are the risks, or why is it actually pretty safe to use it?
1) If you use my scripts, as I've tried all builds, I can assure you in the worst scenario you will loose a few features you might have wanted to keep.
2) If you try to make your own script:
a) You misspell a system folder: (it's case sensitive, careful): well the script will just ignore it and try to remove a folder which doesn't exist, so no consequence at all, just a useless line in your script.
b) you mess up with how you're meant to write the script: for example, you forget a comma or you leave it on the line of the last app you want to delete. Well, no worries, TWRP will just not flash the script so nothing happens. Just check your code to find the mistake.
c) Your script is fine but delete a core app that the system needs. Again, no worries! You will bootloop. In this case, you need to dirty flash your current setup (for example, flash OOS, flash TWRP, reboot to recovery, flash Magisk, flash your favorite kernel, reboot). Then you can try to find the culprit in your code, remove it, and try again your script.
Just in case, you know the XDA saying: "flash at your own risk!"
Credits!
First of all, I'd like to credit @Primokorn for his tutorial which helped me a lot. Basically everything in my script I owe him. I've just made it even more simple and focused on only debloating. Also, and obviously, it's adapted for our OnePlus 6. Right now, it's optimized for OOS 9.0.3, but depending on how the project evolves and how popular it will get, I could make "special editions" for open betas as well as AOSP ROMs.
I would also like to thank @TKruzze for his amazing tool "Zip Builder", which makes me save a lot of time everytime I want to try / build a new script.
Thanks to @Zios01 for inspiring me about "optimizing" OOS.

Tomatot Debloater 3.0
-All main scripts that are up to date are now 3.0 for a purpose of clarity.
-Except the LiquidRemix script, no apps have been added/removed from the scripts.
-Omni/Liquid/Skydragon have a similar level of debloating.
-Since a lot of users reported issues of the script not working, I figured out it was because for some reasons some recoveries don't execute busybox commands properly. I switched to edify commands. The main benefit is that it should work for everyone 100% of the time. The disadvantage is that it won't work for other devices. It might be the same path for the 6T but I need people to check. For other devices it won't work 100%. What you can try however, is to mount system before flashing. It should make the script work.
OOS 2.5.2
-Removed DeskClock as it's the clock app that a lot of people need. I thought it was the widget, my bad.
OOS 2.5.1
-Removed WebViewStub from all scripts since it may affect the webview selecting setting.
OOS 2.5
-Added BluetoothMidiService to the extreme script because 99% people won't use it (check Google to check what it is)
-Added ProxyHandler for the same reason
-Added ManagedProvisioning for the same reason, in the light script. ( Work Profile Setup apk. It's useless for most people. Obviously don't delete it if your company gave you this phone, but then you shouldn't flash it in the first place! )
OOS 2.4
-Removed a few useless lines in the script.
-Cleaned up the .txt file, now all packages explained are sorted alphabetically.
-Moved CNEService to the extreme script as it breaks wifi calls.
-Moved HotwordEnrollmentXGoogleWCD9340 to the extreme script as it might break OK Google.
-Moved WebViewStub to the invisible script
-Added YouTube to the light script as it doesn't break YT Vanced.
-Added Chrome to the extreme script. Don't forget to have a working/activated webview!
OOS 2.3
HotwordEnrollmentXGoogleWCD9340 : moved to extreme as it breaks ok google
EmergencyInfo : moved to extreme as it could break double press power button to open camera
datastatusnotification : moved to extreme as it allows the system to cap data.
Added DeskClock to the light script
Added WebViewStub to the light script
OOS 2.2.1 / custom 1.2
-Unified numbers for all OOS sripts / all custom ROMs scripts so it's just easier to follow / maintain.
-OOS: moved OPBackup to the extreme script as it breaks system updates. It doesn't matter since if you have Magisk and TWRP you can't update via OTA but some people like having all settings working so... Now with the light script you shouldn't have any "broken" feature.
-Custom: removed DocumentsUI so it's possible to access external storage.
v2.2
-Removed Chrome from the script as it can break webview. There is not reliable fix as Android system struggles to properly select "Android System Webview". Feel free to freeze or uninstall Chrome as long as you update android system webview and make sure it's selected in developer settings.
-Put back Gmail2 in the script as now installing it as a user app shouldn't break the app anymore.
-Now the script should be completely bug free.
-if you had issues with gmail, dirty flash your current setup first.
v2.1
-Fixed a broken setting on ALL scripts, see this for more info: https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=78287566&postcount=103
-Added setup apps to the light script as I intended in the first place
-If you come from an older script, you should dirty flash your current setup again because otherwise the broken setting won't come back. Sorry for the mistake.
v2.0.2
-Fixed OPFilemanager on light and extreme scripts.
v2.0.1
-Fixed a few mistakes I wrote, extreme script will work now.
v2.0
-Completely resorted the apps so it makes more sense. I have a little more hindsight and for most apps I actually know what they do and if it's dangerous to remove them or not. Hence, the extreme script hasn't changed but the light is significantly different. It will remove more useless apps but not remove apps that most users use. A bit smarter I'd say.
-And I would like to introduce you the invisible script, the ones who really can't deal with making sure the script works for them, they just want to make their phone lighter. Easy peasy, hassle free.
-To see how I resorted apps, please check "List of systems apps SORTED & EXPLAINED v2.0.txt" or just have a look at the end of this post.
v1.8.1
-Removed Rftoolkit as it's a vendor app and I can't make it disappear for some reasons. I'd recommend you to freeze the app.
-Removed "datastatusnotification" as it's necessary to keep track on data usage.
v1.8
-Only the extreme script is updated
-Added a few more apps, including OPSes which sens telemetry I think. I couldn't find anything explaining exactly what it does but I've been running my script for some time now and 0 issue.
-Here is the list:
Code:
"/system/system/app/OPSesAuthentication",
"/system/system/app/SeempService",
"/system/vendor/app/Rftoolkit",
-Yes, changelogs are shorter and shorter
-However, 92 apps included now!
v1.7.2
-Added Music2 to both scripts.
v1.7.1
-Removed from the script OPAppCategoryProvider as it was breaking battery stats.
v1.7
-Only uploaded the extreme version as it's experimental and the light version would be the same
-I'm trying a few more apps that seem useles, but I need more feedback. Some telemetry from Qualcomm should be gone as well.
-Here are the new apps
Code:
"/system/system/priv-app/OnePlusWizard",
"/system/system/app/AutoRegistration",
"/system/system/app/datastatusnotification",
"/system/system/app/PlayAutoInstallConfig",
"/system/system/app/RFTuner",
"/system/system/priv-app/OPAppCategoryProvider",
v1.6
-Added more apps in both scripts
-Now the light script includes this category " #APPS THAT CAN BE FOUND ON PLAY STORE" as you can reinstall them very easily (and you won't even loose them if you updated them once).
-Expect more privacy as I've deleted more telemetry from both OP and Qualcomm.
-Documentation updated
-Here is the list
Code:
"/system/system/app/GoogleContactsSyncAdapter",
"/system/system/app/OpSkin",
"/system/system/app/HTMLViewer",
"/system/system/app/uimremoteclient",
"/system/system/priv-app/CallLogBackup",
"/system/system/priv-app/CNEService",
"/system/system/priv-app/OPAod",
"/system/system/priv-app/SharedStorageBackup",
v1.5
-Fixed a few entries as they were not written properly. So some apps that were already included will actually be removed this time. Thanks to @zyvex_14 for his help and support.
-I've added these apps that can be safely removed.
Code:
"/system/system/app/Account",
"/system/system/app/QdcmFF",
"/system/system/app/WapiCertManage",
"/system/system/priv-app/DiracAudioControlService",
"/system/system/priv-app/OPCellBroadcastReceiver",
-As always, I've updated the advanced documentation.
-You can now download a .txt file with all the documentation: all system apps are sorted and the shady ones are explained.
Now, Tomatot Debloater Extreme v1.5 removes 72 apps and your device still runs perfectly, if not better
Tomatot Debloater Light v1.5 42 apps and you basically don't loose any feature
v1.4
-Quite satisfying build: I feel like the script is almost final.
-Here are the new lines I added, to the different versions.
"/system/system/app/OPBackup",
Code:
"/system/system/priv-app/BackupRestoreConfirmation",

v1.3
I forgot to update the scripts when they're flashed so TWRP will display "v1.2 when it's actually v1.3, so no worries
-Merged with xXx all the apps where I was sure they could be removed without risks. Still some apps I need to sort out.
-Now I have 2 scripts
LIGHT = SAFE TO DELETE FOR ALMOST EVERYONE + APPS THAT CAN BE FOUND ON PLAY STORE (they will just become user apps if you updated them at least once)
EXTREME= SAFE TO DELETE FOR ALMOST EVERYONE + APPS THAT CAN BE FOUND ON PLAY STORE + SAFE TO DELETE IF YOU USE ALTERNATIVE APPS OR JUST DON'T NEED THE APP + EXPERIMENTAL STUFF SOMETIMES
To see their content, check advanced documentation.
v1.2
-Added OP user apps (that you can uninstall without root when to flash a new ROM). I didn't think of them at first because they're easy to remove and once you do, they don't come back after you reinstall the ROM. However, with the script, they will leave the system partition for good, which is cleaner. And it will be useful for people who didn't delete them already.
-Removed "usb_drivers.iso." it's what makes the windows explorer show the OP6 as a CDROM when you plug it to your computer. So you can have access to drivers. It's pretty useless except for the first time you plug your phone to your computer. And still, there are plenty other ways to install drivers.
-I've updated the list of the apps in the first post.
v1.1
-Fixed the "card" app.
v1
-Initial release
Works like a charm for me, many thanks.
I just had to edit your file for the "card" app, + few others lines I deleted to keep some apps I use, such as 'Duo'.
In your file, it is written "Card", but my app was named 'card' and apparently the C in capital letter makes it not work (for this app specifically).

Wow, you're already a pro! Well done mate. I don't know if it was your experience with editing a script but if it is, I'm glad my my guide makes sense and that some users already benefit from it. And thank you for pointing out my mistake.
I'm uploading a 1.1 update with the fix.
Don't forget to flash again your script if you update your ROM.
First time I manipulated and edited this kind of file, so many thanks for your tuto, very helpful in my case.
Just one additionnal question, is there somewhere a list of all bloatwares that can be safely removed? Or is your list exhaustive for our OP6?

Humm usually on different when you search for it on Google, you find threads that explain what services to disable, but 99% of the time they're also device specific.
I've never found a universal list with all the bloatware common to all Android phones. If you have a doubt about an app in particular, google it and you'll have your answer. However, what I've found out trying different scripts is that there are some apps i can freeze without any consequences, whereas if I try to delete them with my script, the phone will end up in a bootloop.
Unfortunately, this project is very recent for me and I didn't do any exhaustive testing so I don't know exactly what apps were breaking my script.
Ideally, i'd have to create another script that bring back the apps I remove so I can try one by one and see which apps are safe to remove. Because right now, everytime, flashing back OOS, rebooting to make sure it works, then going back, flashing my script, checking again, etc. it takes a lot of time so it will take some time before I can be more accurate.
At least right now I have a good base of what apps I'm sure I can remove.
Now when I'll have enough time I could try one by one to delete apps and see how it goes. I just to find a way to not have to reflash the whole system every time.
If anyone has a suggestion he's welcome!
I'd say that @Zios01 knows a lot about the topic since he probably tried himself what apps are safe to debloat.
You can read his script as well to see what apps he removes and you can assume it's safe to add them to my script.
I perfectly understand that you can't try one-by-one all of them, it gonna turn you crazy otherwise to flash-reboot-check and so on...
As you wrote, this is a good start and a good base, let's see also if someone has more experience with the others apps/bloatwares.
Anyway, thanks again for your answers and contact provided, I will try to find his script as well.

Here it is.
I had to add the .txt extension to upload it. Also, I changed the name so it won't work. It's just for "science".
You will see he doesn't use the same "language" at all, and it's way more complicated than my script. However, it's not hard to spot the apps he's referring to.
Btw, as I already said, the good thing with this script is that it will ignore errors. So if you add a line to your current script, you can flash it and it will just remove the one app you added. You don't have to make an entire new file for your v2.
OK, so I added several lines based on XxX script.
I did a reboot and no bootloop, that is already a good point .
Now I am going to test my phone and if everything works ok and still flawless, I will share my file.

When I did my little experiments and I was deleting the wrong files, it was just not booting, stucking on OnePlus logo. Just once it booted, but shut down immediately and took me to recovery.
So you should be fine. But yeah maybe only after a week or something we'll find out that a tiny but sometimes useful feature doesn't work.
Thanks for your work! I would suggest using Magisk if possible as the changes aren't permanent. Except if you want to achieve that it's permanent

Indded, that is what I worry about, that everything looks fine and finally after some days (maybe earlier :crying something doesn't work like it should be.
That is why I would like to test prior sharing my file.

It does sound like a good idea! I will investigate this possibility and let you know. I'm not sure I have enough knowledge and experience.
https://forum.xda-developers.com/apps/magisk/module-terminal-debloater-debloat-t3584163
So I've found this Magisk Module which seems quite impressive tbh. It seems quite easy to use and safe as well. It's honestly way more advanced than my script.
But at the same time, I feel like it doesn't do much more than a classic freeze with Titanium Backup.
You still have to go every time you install a ROM through all the apps you want to remove. You could write down numbers but it's risky, if you change ROM or even you update your ROM and numbers change, it could mess up everything. So I still think my solution had advantages compared to this Magisk Module.
However, I might use the module to see what apps break the device or not. Then I can improve my script a little. I will also think about making a Magisk Module out of it, but I'm not sure it will make things much better.
My ultimate goal is just to "flash it and forget about it until you flash a new ROM/update". So it wouldn't matter if you can remove it or not.
There are 2 possibilities when using my idea:
1) I (I isn't me, I speak for users in general) am happy with the script, I don't loose any features. So I don't need to touch it. Flashing it once in TWRP isn't a burden at all. Especially since it takes like 2 seconds to flash. Then it's the best solution since, once you have your script you like, you can always keep it.
2) I am happy with the script but I want a few apps back. Sure, having a Magisk module could make things easier as I could just remove the module (considering it has a restore feature), but I would need to edit the module or the script, and then apply it again. It one of the apps break the system and makes the device bootloop, even with a Magisk module, it will be hassle to fix it. It's just more simple to flash the ROM again like I'm doing now.
Now you need to ask yourself this:
1) Do you prefer to have more features at the cost of spending some time setting up your device every time you flash a ROM? Then use Titanium Backup or Terminal Debloater.
2) Do you prefer to take some time once to setup your script properly but then you won't have to care about it for, theoretically, until you get a new device? Then go with my script.
If my script gets some attention, I'm pretty sure within a few weeks I / we will be able to propose enough scripts to make (almost) everybody happy.
Like script 1 extreme debloating
Script 2 medium debloating
Script 3 light debloating
So 99% users are satisfied, and then the pickiest ones can always make their own script since it's very easy to edit my script.
Am I making a point?
What's with the .iso file and /system/reserve?

I think this will be a great way to debloat to each individual preference. Will be watching this thread for these updates:good:

I didn't know about /system/reserve, thankj you for sharing. From what I understand, it's the apps that come pre installed but are removable. It seems like once you delete them they don't come.baxk after a dirty flash. However I can remove them so the script is useful after a clean flash. Thanks!
What are you referring to with the .iso though?

Question With Root Moving app to system app.

I have never created a thread before because I normally can find my answers by browsing. However, in this situation, I come up snake eyes each and every time. If this is the wrong place to post, I apologize. I am trying to move a GPS app to a system app. However, when I try to move it, I get an error that there is not enough space in the system ROM (/system) for this. (There is only 2.73 MB free.) I do not need much as I am only looking to move this one gps spoofing app. I have tried everything I could find to do from uninstalling system apps, etc., but no matter what I do, it stays free space 2.73 MB. Any help is most definitely appreciated as I am at a loss, and this was the only thing I rooted to do. Please help!
Edit: I forgot to say it earlier, but I am not a pro at all this so speak to me as if I were 10 yrs old. Thanks alot!
You can use lucky patcher to rebuild/install fake gps apps as system apps. Copying by hand is not gonna do the trick.
There should be plenty of tutorials out there, just search for something along the lines:
Spoof GPS Pokemon Go Luckypatcher
Beware though, that those tutorials will not have been written with Android 12 in mind; I have not yet meddled with GPS spoofing with my P6 and do not know whether Google has implemented certain mechanisms to prevent spoofing system apps. You might get into a bootloop or even softbrick your device (I'd say rather unlikely, but there's always a certain chance).
Magisk is your friend. Not very complicated. Create a module with a /system/app or priv-app directory.

He said that he is not a pro and needs everything explained like a 10 year old, you're sure that creating a magisk module isn't a tad too much to ask?
There are solutions that only require a couple clicks in a premade app interface, intuitive and easy. Going in and coding a couple lines is not my definition of 10 year old not pro stuff. I mean it's not a big deal breaker, there are plenty of tutorials to go around (topjohnwu even offers templates), but it still requires some knowhow and poses more risk.
I appreciate your help but I have already done all the recommendations. As I said, when I uninstall apps from the system ROM I gain no space. I have been using lucky patcher to move files to system apps but it says there is not enough room. This is why I asked, according to what I read, it should have worked. I don't know if I am doing it wrong , but when I try to move app to a system app, I click on it and choose tools and move to system/app in lucky. Any help to help me with this issue is really appreciated.
Install the attached version of the App Systemizer Magisk module and reboot. Open a terminal (install Termux app from Play Store if you need a terminal app), su [enter], systemize [enter] and follow the instructions.
If you are willing to share the APK, I can make a magisk module to install it as a system app.

At the menu, type 1 and hit enter. It'll bring up a list of all installed apps, with a number next to each one. Type in the number of the app and hit enter. It'll probably throw an error, but the app should still be systemized - I've seen seen errors since Android 11 but it's always worked

Thank you! I got it as a system app but for some reason when I click on the app it doesn't load and freezes. Any ideas are much obliged!
