[DEBLOAT] Wileyfox Debloater - Quickly clean your Nougat-based Wileyfox device!

Hey all!
As you all know, Wileyfox has started rolling out Nougat for their devices, starting with the codenamed marmite family (Swift 2, 2 Plus and 2X models). With this new update, Wileyfox has also included a bunch of BLOATWARE I personally NEVER expected from them. I mean, I didn't request ads in my launcher, and why do I need to forcefully use Truecaller dialer instead of the cleaner, AOSP-based one? That's why I've created this Wileyfox Debloater tool, to keep the system apps as clean and stockish as possible.
App removals included:
- AndroidPay
- BasicDreams
- BookmarkProvider
- Google Books
- Chrome
- CMFileManager
- Drive
- Duo
- Gmail
- GooglePrintRecommendationService
- GoogleTTS
- Hangouts
- Keep
- Maps
- Google Music
- News and Weather
- PhotoTable
- talkback
- Google Videos
- WFChromeCustomization
- Youtube
- Contacts
- FoxHole
- Mms
- SnapdragonGallery
- TrueCaller
- All bundled-apps from /system/vendor/bundled-app
- Possibly more in the future.
(Note: All the moved Google Apps were removed for the sole reason that they can also be downloaded from the Play Store.)
App additons / other features included:
- Google Contacts, in replacement of the half-dummy, prebundled Contacts app (which was missing link with the Dialer).
- Google Dialer, in replacement of TrueCaller.
- Google Messages, in replacement of Wileyfox Mms app.
- AOSP's Launcher3, in replacement of FoxHole (Wileyfox's Launcher).
- Framework and permission files for Google Dialer to work.
- Small tweaks in the build.prop, including drop of min processors to work from 2 to 1, and rise of maximum processors to work from 4 to 8, as well as increasing the Android compiler default amount of processors from 4 to 6.
- Possibly more in the future, too.

Your device's system partition [B]IS NOW [COLOR="Red"]TAMPERED[/COLOR][/B]. This implies two things:
1. You WILL NOT BE ABLE TO INSTALL ANY NEWER OTAs ON IT.
(To learn how to properly upgrade your device, kindly check post [URL="https://forum.xda-developers.com/swift-2/development/debloat-wileyfox-debloater-quickly-t3587536/post72258926#post72258926"]#25[/URL])
2. Your device MAY NOT BE ABLE TO BOOT UNLESS YOU DISABLE DM-VERITY.
(And to do so, the quickest way is to [B]install[/B] [B][URL="https://forum.xda-developers.com/apps/magisk/official-magisk-v7-universal-systemless-t3473445"]Magisk[/URL][/B].)

4. Boot into TWRP, make a backup if you wish (although is highly recommended), choose Install and locate and flash the ZIP.
5. Reboot and enjoy!
6. Are you missing missed calls notifications? Is the caller ID always showed as a number instead of a contact name during phone calls? Check post #16!
Uninstall instructions:
Check post #6
Enjoy, and don't forget to leave a Thanks if you loved it!

I'm also dissapointed that the OS is far from the pure AOSP.
But it is possible to tweak it without losing the future OTAs:
1. Install google launcher, google messenger
2. Install google phone from apk mirror - this version is working on my phone - http://www.apkmirror.com/apk/google...-7-0-140861421-nonnexus-android-apk-download/
3. Deactivate truecaller, duo, news, ... - but be careful, some apps are needed for the system and remember to activate all apps before the OTA update...

That is also a possibility but:
1. Launcher3 conflicts with the already installed launcher, so it's impossible to get that out of the way
2. I got latest version working here using the required libraries (extracted from a Pixel), so yeah, probably both possibilities are just fine
And for the third one, just wanted to say there's no need to reactivate them (if you manage to deactivate them, ofc), and, all of the packages the script moves are stored in a safe place (/system/__bloat), so they can be restored from there

I don't remember if I had a problem with a previous OTA update for Wileyfox, but I was not able to install an update without reactivation a disabled app.
I'm not sure...
You could select a default launcher and the phone has really enough RAM, so I think it is not necessary to remove the FoxHole from the system.
But anyway, nice work! You could provide an uninstall instructions - if it is really possible. I hope that there can be an OTA update in the future...
The final solution for this is LineageOS, if they provide the source

Excellent! Thanks for providing this...such a stupid shame that Wileyfox decided to do this. I'm just hoping that they now release their sources so that we can start working on a proper release of Lineage!

Of course. The debloater doesn't delete any of your system apps, but move them to /system/__bloat. There you'll find 3 folders, the app, the priv-app and the vendor one, just cut and paste them back to /system and the deleted apps will come back. Also, don't forget to remove the framework files and permissions the debloater installs, such as /system/framework/com.google.android.dialer.support.jar and /system/etc/permissions/com.google.android.dialer.support.xml. You can also remove the the GoogleContacts, GoogleDialer, GoogleMessages and Launcher3 folders from /system/priv-app, and revert the build.prop tweaks (lines 164 and 165, change values from 1 and 8 to 2 and 4, line 196, change value from 6 to 4).
Reverting all of that, your system will go back as it came with the Nougat OTA.

Hello,
thanks for your effort to the community.
I have a question.
How do I install this? I've tried it with twrp but everytime I install twrp my device won't boot.
To repair this I flashed the newest "system.img".
But I can't replace my stock recovery.

Try downloading version 3.0.2-0 from TWRP download website, and flash it via the command
Code:
fastboot flash recovery <name-of-the-file>.IMG
Replacing name of the file for the actual filename of it. To enter fastboot mode, you should see a warning when you boot up your device. Hit any volume keys, and, using them, choose the fastboot mode and select it with the power key. Now you should be able to use the fastboot commands.

I'm already working on it... But it'll surely require substratum, which probably won't work out of the box just by flashing it from the recovery. I'm looking for solutions

Okay, can you try doing "fastboot boot" and the name of the image instead of flashing it? It will avoid bootloops, since it just boots to the image. Keep me posted, please.

Still doesnt let me boot up after I installed your debloat zip.
Everytime I install or boot to twrp 3.1.0 or 3.0.2 for marmite i get a boot loop and a "dm-verity .." screen.
I've tried different versions of twrp and different methods like "fastboot flash" and "fastboot boot" but everytime I flash something it gets stuck on booting up.
When I was on Marshmello I had this "dm-verity" message too but I could modify my system as I wanted and it booted up everytime, i had TWRP, your Speakermod, Magisk Mask etc installed no problem.
I think it has something todo with the update to Nougat.
How did you bring it run on your device?

Thanks, i've installed magisk mask again and the message didn't appeared.
I've also flashed your debloater and everything works fine.
Can I now flash TWRP or do I have to boot it up via fastboot everytime?

Try flashing it to your recovery partition, my guess is that now that DM-verity is disabled everything should work fine
Cheers!

Quick update post after two days of usage, yesterday I noticed I didn't receive any notifications on missed calls, and that the caller ID always showed as a number although I had it added as a contact.
I realised that I didn't have any "Phone" app chosen as default in Android settings, so I was missing those notifications until I opened the Google Dialer app.
In case it happens to you, to sort it out go into Settings > Apps, then hit the gear in the top right corner and make sure you've a config similar to this one (Launcher3, Google's "Phone" and Google's "Messages" chosen as default Home, Phone and Messaging apps).
I hope this is clear for everyone, since it's not something I can fix on my side/requires the user to do the change

I have TWRP, SuperSU, and Magisk. Marshmallow boots with no problem, but I get the dm-verity screen on boot with the message "dm-verity is not started in enforcing mode".
Does this mean dm-verity is disabled because it is not enforcing, or do I need to do something to stop the whole dm-verity screen appearing before I can successfully upgrade, debloater, and boot Nougat?

Firsts things first: After heavily modding the system like you did on Marshmallow, make sure not to update your device through the regular OTA but using a recovery image like the ones posted in this device's forum.
For magisk: are you sure you flashed it correctly? Magisk disables that dmverity message you are mentioning, so maybe you installed an old version or wasn't properly flashed.
My advice is: download everything: the recovery image, the debloater and Magisk. Boot into TWRP, wipe EVERYTHING if possible, including Data cache dalvik cache and system partitions. Once done, flash the recovery image zip, and right after that, without rebooting, flash the debloater and magisk. Reboot and everything should work perfectly

If I use this to debloat my WileyFox does it mean I won't be able to use Android Pay?

As soon as you root any Marshmallow/Nougat phone Android Pay will not work, according to this article
I have never used Android Pay so it doesn't make any difference to me. My phone is much better now that I have debloated it. I also installed Evie Launcher and Halo Browser, both small minimalist apps and everything is really smooth.
Instead of a Debloater, could the Stock ROM not be debloated and rezipped as a custom 'Lite' version?

Just fixed mine by doing the bootloader unlock and root steps above,
setup the phone without Google but with debug mode enabled,
flash twrp,
format data (the one that makes you type yes),
setup the phone with Google and debug mode, then
reflash the firmware with Odin (stock BL, magisk_patched AP, stock CP, and HOME_CSC).
Now I have 108gb storage with root! I just have to hold volume up+power button every time I boot, though.

read carefully every step bro. after flashing magisk patched then setup phone from beginning without setup google acount just skip, then check again by activating developer menu & usb debugging on. at the end reset from about menu..then phone's should reboot, after that install magisk manager then follow until finished process. & now after reboot u already got rooted beloved phone . congrats

Only the latest version from blackbuga, and yes, I can't access my internal storage through USB when in twrp. It doesn't bother me that much, because I only needed twrp to format the data so the storage goes back to 108gb from 32gb. Everything's been running fine so far.

right now I'm just curious why there's no more dev interest in working on custom recovery & roms which is in other hand there's plenty developer working on galaxy s series with snapdragon soc with great support for official/unofficial builds whether twrp or cust roms. so sad considering the device is quite a potential to be developed

I just followed op's instructions in his A70 topic lol I get you. I came from iOS and I was really excited when I got the phone, but after seeing the development scene... I don't know, maybe it just has something to do with the phone's price being expensive and all that.

yeah it's possible for sensitive pricing from first launching. in my country first launching price going around $705 then after few month until approaching new device release info to be released in February. on new years then the price going down until just left $549,50 then i decided to bought it :victory:
maybe many people's thinking like me, wait & see before grab this phone's :laugh:

Actually, the truth is something else and the price range is not relevant at all.
If you have A series, it is low price range of Sammy phones and if you owned previously Iphone, you jumped "from horse to donkey".
Here you can find android ultra expensive devices successfuly rooted and in everyday ongoing development.
As pricey device is, more support you have ( All S,S+ and Note series, for example).
I have very expensive Galaxy Fold device...successfully rooted with regulary ongoing development, therefore, price is not relevant at all.
There on IOS is missing crucial users inteligence, knowledge and developers on IOS users market.
Simply said...they don't have and don't need developer oriented users and no quality devices to be upgraded or "pushed" further more.
Also...IOS is CLOSED SOURCE system not opened for free development because Apple can't make profit of that.

New Rom with May security patch
Selinux doesn't work but o well never really care about whether it is enforced or disabled much anyway I did once manage to get selinux working through prop edits... or once using an app but fingerprint stopped working
Most other things seems to be working fine which is great
Official crdroid for Marmite has same issue but it is older version
Sometimes the torch stop working reboot fixes it and restarting system ui crashes the entire os repeatedly so this requires a reboot using the actual buttons
This is probably the best Android 9 rom for the swift 2 so much cool functionality and it would be sik to use a stable crdroid 6 Marmite rom

READ EVERYTHING FIRST NOT IN CHRONOLOGICAL ORDER Assuming you're on marmite you will have to go to XDA and go on Wileyfox Swift 2 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Development then click on lineage 15.1 rom download TWRP 3.2.3 from the link near to it this TWRP is the best one coz it can read the internal storage official TWRP is 3.3.1 but doesn't support internal storage so its not good once you have done that go to magisk.me and then download the magisk 20.4 flashabke zip file. Then next part is annoyimg. You will need a pc there is an app on the phone but i have never tested it and you probably not gonna have 2 phones in he first place maybe a tablet but anyway you will have download minimal adb and fastboot from any site that you think is appropriate your phones drivers should automatically install unless you have a bad os or something if they don't you will need to look into how to find your phones driver with research but you may not find them even after doing that anyway so assuming you have minimal adb and fastboot running and your phone s drivers are installed to confirm whether it has worked type in adb devices and press enter your device should come up as connected also I forgot to mention you need to on to about phone on settings system on build number a few times to unlock developer options the go to settings system developer options Enable Android debugging back to before once you have typed in adb devices a popup may come in your phone press yes allow in future option if you trust the device you're using once you press yes your device is usable you need to enable USB mass storage and copy twrp to your computer now for Windows 10 as I've only done this on windows 10 press on start and locate minimal adb and fastboot right click on it and press open file location if it comes up with the shortcut which I'm guessing it has right click on minimal adb shortcut and then open file location you will need to copy the TWRP file to there and rename the TWRP IMG to twrp.img go back to minimal adb and fastboot and also put your phone in fastboot mode now I think as soon as you turn your phone off it should go to fastboot mode if not then search how to do it coz I can't be asked writing every detail. Your phone will be factory data reset in the process this is for data security we'll come back to that later you may lose your warranty but that's not a problem if you know how to take care of your phone now on minimal and and fastboot type in fastboot oem unlock you should backup your data first go on settings system backup assuming you have Google services and play installed which I'm pretty sure you do all your data will be backed up and restored once you restore from cloud on the setup process after resetting coz of unlocked bootloader. Once you have accepted the bootloader unlock and it has been successfully unlocked turn if the device plug it in computer and type in on minimal
ADB and fastboot type in fastboot flash recovery
twrp.img now if you copied the files
In the correct directory as described before the recovery should have installed in a few seconds one problem is at the start the recovery might be getting replaced by stock recovery but after entering it a few times using power button and volume down button simultaneously should take you to the recovery you are going to see a message on your phone saying bootloader unlocked blah blah blah wait a few seconds or press power button and you will be in the recovery now your device may be encrypted type in your phone password/pin and you will be able to read internal storage press on select storage internal storage and press on download folder and then press on the magisk file you downloaded the swipe to install and you are installing root using magisk you should keep your device encrypted for security purposes now that you have twrp it can be used to bypass your screen unlock unless you have encrypted your device my marmite device encrypted the device automatically on the stock operating system another thing is that if you want to use your banking app go onto settings hide magisk manager option press ok and then the name of the magisk manager app should now be manager also go back to the settings and snake magisk hide option then restart the app and then go to the menu icon and magisk hide and then press in the app you want access to it should now be ticked and root should be hidden from the app my guide isn't perfectly layed but should have the important information you need know was writing it from the top of my head without punctuation:good:

After rooting tablet and lenovo release update, " boot.img" must be change back to install OTA Update from lenovo .
Now it seams this OS will be stable on Lenovo YT_X705F SMART TAB.
But still probs on running differnt APPS on this doomed crap tablet, for this issue i'm looking on LineageOS

If you are on the same firmware S001135 then just use the boot.img I posted above. It should work. Also It would be better to disable system updates. I am creating a seperate post for running GSI of LineageOS and other ROMS.

Yes use RSA and flash the stock firmware. This stock firmware you flashed should be saved in your system's C:\ProgramData\RSA\Rom Files folder. Just get the required image files from there/

I did not flashed. I just downloaded the firmware. But it seems it is downloaded with some extension(.bmp Or pac which I did not check well).
How can I extract boot img from this?
I renamed to zip and extracted. But could not find any image files.
Can you help how did you do the extraction?

Problem: Where can I obtain the official firmware?
Solution: Teclast Website
Usage: type M1A3 in search
Problem How can I unpack "pac" files?
Solution: Build C utility divinebird / pacextractor
Solution: Download pre built Linux executable pacextractor.zip
Usage: >./pacextractor Firmware.pac
Bash:
git clone https://github.com/divinebird/pacextractor
cd pacextractor

Problem: msvcr100.dll missing error in Windows whilst running SPD (Factory/Research/Upgrade) Tools
Solution: Download and install 2010 Visual C++ Distribution
Problem: I want to unlock my bootloader. (Window and Linux kit)
Solution: Download TeclastM40Pro_Unisoc_UnlockTools.zip
Usage: Read readme file.
Problem: How can I remove the dm_verify warning on boot up after unlocking the bootloader?
Untested Solution: digitally sign the vbmeta partition and write it back. See [Tutorial] How to create a custom signed vbmeta.img
Problem: I want to root my device.
Solution: Modify boot.img with Magisk, then sign.
Usage: Upload to your device's download directory, the current boot.img read from your device, or from the same version firmware. Then install Magisk app from here. Use Magisk to patch the boot.img. Sign the partition. Then flash back the signed magisk version of boot.img to "boot_a" partition. Guide to flashing single partition at Hovatek Website
Problem: I need to emergency flash my device?
Solution: Currently only from Windows, use SPD Upgrade Tools to reflash firmware.
Usage: From the tablet powered off, or if boot looping. Hold down the power-button and volume-down for five seconds, release the power-button, and keep the volume-down button still held for another five seconds, then release or release if the detected earlier. Windows and SPD tools should then detect your device to flash.
Problem: I want to improve my Telcast M40 Pro
Solution: List of suggested apps below;
FDroid App Store F-Droid Website
Aurora > via FDroid. App store allowing the direct download from Google Playstore, without your own account.
Lawnchair > via FDroid. Fast open source sophisticated launcher.
AdAway > via FDroid. Removes adverts whilst using apps.
TrackerControl > via FDroid. Manages apps access to internet, and blocks spyware and trackers.
.

Problem: I want root mode without the effort of hacking a rom partition.
Solution: For those with World version Teclast M40 Pro device, here is a signed rooted boot partition I created. Read the readme file inside the zip. You will require an unlocked device, windows setup with USB drivers for Teclast, the complete firmware from Teclast website, and SPD Update Tools installed. If you're successful, then on rooting you will need to install Magisk app to get root active. Magisk will reboot once to finalise.

Sorry for replying late. I got no indication of the response. To the problem, I can only suggest getting a different version of SPD or m aking sure your computer system is properly updated. I hope you've already solved the issue!
Maybe you're experiencing, "Problem: msvcr100.dll missing error in Windows whilst running SPD (Factory/Research/Upgrade) Tools" See above for solution.

I've noticed a new ROM for world edition, "M40 Pro(M1A3)_Android 11.0_ROW V1.02_20220525", but not getting any system update options for OTA. People flashing their systems may want the latest firmware!

Thanks to your Magisk file I was able to root my tablet, but when updating to the latest version it goes into bootloop, I have tried updating the original firmware image again, but it also goes into bootloop.
Is there any way to install Magisk modules?
Thanks for your post, it helped me a lot to unlock my tablet.
Edit: My version is the M1A1 firmware V1.03_20210804
Edit 2: Finally, when updating my tablet with the root file that is in the post, it did not allow me to install any Magisk module, the solution is to download version 24.3, and update automatically, without changing to a higher version of Magisk

Glad you worked it out Miny !!! Sorry the warning emails for new posts have been going to a gmail account I no longer use.
Also your hardware maybe different and require it's own unique firmware and boot images. It seems the cracking in similar though.

Some questions:
Do I need to unlock my bootloader in order to be able to get root with magisk?
The tools for unlocking the bootloader uses
Code:
fastboot flashing unlock_bootloader
. My version of fastboot (33.0.3p1-android-tools) doesn't have that command. The included one (0.0.0-09219) does, but I wan't to be careful about running softwar from untrusted sources. Where is that version of fastboot from?
Does any of the steps necessary to get root access delete my data?

Hi there.
I have a m40pro (M1A1) running android 11, do you know if I can install firmware Z3A1 to get android 12? Or will be bricked?
Thanks in advance

To tell you the truth, not sure. Most SoC are impossible or near impossible to brick. They usually allow for an injection or have a read only boot section. Other words you could test. Also research difference in hardware between models, and that may indlicate if something may not work. The kernel/drivers are the improtant aspect.

What OS are you using? Google is constantly changing Android Studio and the added modules. Then others may build with options removed. Personally I use Archlinux and load up standalone android-tools from the community repository. Currently v33.0.3-3
Try fastboot --help
Your version may have
Code:
fastboot flashing unlock_critical

What I found works, is when using SPD Research Tool, load up the firmware.pac and then go into settings and click "Select All Files" and again to unselect, which leaves the default required items.
Then manually change BOOT to the Magisk img. Then click on all VBMETA types, and UBOOT_LOADER (may not be required though). Then flash.
You should get bootable tablet (no looping). Warning: UserData partition is written over.
I'll share my Magisk image for v1.2

I'm using the same version as you on the same OS. After some research it seems like unlock_bootloader was removed in this commit from 2018. From what I can tell, unlock_critical does something else (unlock_bootloader runs
Code:
fb_queue_download("unlock_message", data, sz); fb_queue_command("flashing unlock_bootloader", "unlocking bootloader");
while unlock_critical runs
Code:
do_oem_command("flashing", "unlock_critical" and doesn't take the signature argument);
)
I'll see if I can compile the older version with the needed command.
What about my other questions?

Issue: Android not starting. I had the infinite restart when plugged in the usb. I tried to reload the installation package (succeeded), but didn't fixed the issue. Battery was not charging yet. When I started the Teclast M40 pro, the logo showed up, but the tablet turned off again.
Solution: I have disassembled the cover, unplugged the 5 pin plug from the battery for half hour and plugged again. When I tried to turn it on, everything was fine.

Wow that's weird Doug. Remember this, if you don't already know, that you can do a cold start by holding down the power button for over 10 seconds, on most devices.
I guess you're running now on rooted tablet !!!

I did the installation package process that the Teclast sent me. The last thing they told me to do was keep trying to install the package (wft?). Well, I just open the tablet, unplugged the battery for a while and after that it worked.
Maybe this resolved 2 things:
1-the battery was not properly connected in the first place, so when I plugged the 5 pin to the board it connected as it should.
2- Maybe there is a "memory" in the board attached to the battery that was bricked (or something like that) when I pulled off the plug, this memory was reseted.
BTW, when the tablet came to life again, the battery was at 87%.
