Database Info

i didnt need a thread for this....sorrry!!!!!!!!!

I've tried the method below and it doesn't seem to work........it doesn't give me errors......but it doesn't delete the files that I don't want anymore.
I did try searching the forums but didn't see any posts regarding this....but seeing how new the 1.5 firmware it is...I didn't think there would be a post on it anyway and didn't think the command prompt or the location of these files would change
Any help is appreciated
-Type su
mount -o rw,remount -t yaffs2 /dev/block/
mtdblock3 /system
rm -r /system/media/audio/ringtones
rm -r /system/media/audio/notifications

I did this yesterday, and removed all the stock ringtones and replaced with htc defaults.
I did this from ADB shell, I suppose you can do it from the terminal, matter of fact I'm sure you can.
The trick is to use busybox.
#commands below
busybox rm -rf /system/media/audio/ringtones # remove ringtones
busybox rm -rf /system/media/audio/notifications # removes notifications
# this removed all my ringtones and folders
After that I just used "adb push c:\ringtones /system/media/audio/ringtones"
That simply took whatever .ogg / .mp3 ringtones and put them back on the system memory of my G1.
Using JF 1.5, didn't need to go into recovery or anything.

you can also selectively delete. Only widgets left are
MUSIC
SETTINGS
CLOCK
WEATHER

thanks, this must have taken a............g..............e.................s to type out

Thats cool thatnks,
but can i take out 1 or 2 from the list that i would like to keep and then run it in cmd?
EDIT: then again if i have them all on my sd, this wont work..

Just copy and paste the OP and make a batch file. Then just run it

That's what I was about to suggest...granted I hate that the item list resets itself after every delete...(if u delete hypothetical ZZZ.apk and want to delete the ZZZ.odex file u'd have to scroll to the bottom again)

Can you delete the weather widget without messing up the clock/weather widget?

So if you remove that then it stands to reason that NONE/ZERO htc widgets will work?

the widgets will work, it is for the stock widgets that show company stock prices

Are you sure its for the Stock market?
I removed Stock.apk and odex, that removed the Stocks from my app drawer and removing the com.htc.StockWidget.apk and odex removes the Stock widget.
So your tellling me that DCSStock is also part of it?

If u are on a EDGE internet connection i suggest u dont use any widgets that use the internet like twitter or mail, They slow down rosie when they pull updates from the internet.

You could also remove the Mail.apk/odex if you only use gmail.

Yep, this is what I was doing for a while, then I just realized what a lifesaver just resigning the file is...just follow this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=471586 and get the resigning setup so all you have to do is this:
-Download Update file
-Delete the files you dont want in there directly from the update file (like OP is doing with command lines there) [its also better b/c you can choose other apps you may not want in there )]
-Go to Run > CMD > type: java testsign update.zip
-Done.
-Put on SD card and go.
Ive been doing that several weeks now, its really quicker once you get it setup (if you have adb (doing the command lines posted), then your already half way there).
Otherwise this works too .

the biggest system drag, though, is that clock and widget. I made a build with that uninstalled, kept mail and msg widgets, and installed the alarm clock from tehseano's rom, and rosie is now fast, even with all 7 home screens loaded. i dont use a world clock,so it works for me

is there anyway i can remove these apks and odex files from the update.zip and possibly a few others that i dont want... i have tried removing them from the update.zip and installing, but it fails... file not found Quickoffice_HTC_1.0.1.apk
any ideas ???

Hi there. I really, really hate Timescape lol. Can you please tell me how to remove that, also just incase, if the removal of it ends up screwing up something, can you post how to reinstall it also.
thank you and keep up the great work

I've got Korean, Japanese and chinese keyboards (even tho I used the UK fw?)
maybe we should add those to the list?
The thing is.
Is there really any point in deleting stuff?
yes saving space, but I dont think they're too big?
We should try and make a list of the apps that run on the background doing stuff. those are the ones we should focus on getting rid of.

You can't remove it, as it is linked to the phone (calling/messaging) aspect of the phone.
You also can't remove mediascape, otherwise your headphones won't work.

the reason you have other keyboards is due to you using the firmware in this post,
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=6514692&postcount=2
Its not so much the space but other aspects, it leaves your CPU free to only think about what you want it too not "should i do this with this or that"

Looks like you didnt carry out a factory reset then...

Also, I think we should remove Wisepilot.
It should be big, and AFAIK it's a paid GPS software?

How to debloat Moto G 2015 XT1541 Marshmallow ?

Hi @ll,
I'm new here in the Motorola section and I have a question.
I've updated my Moto G 2015 to Marshmallow and wanna debloat the stock firmware.
The device has an unlocked bootloader and is rooted correctly.
But every try ends in a freeze after the second Motorola Logo is shown and the device
doesn't start the launcher. The display lights a little bit and dim the backlight all ~5
seconds.
I've used System Application Remover and deleted the APKs. Freeze the apps over
Titanium Backup brings the same effect.
Disable apps over Autostart does the same.
Apps I've tested to freeze or remove:
- Google+
- Hangouts
- Maps
Can someone tell me how to do this right with this device ?
Thx in advanced

Titanium backup mate

@therealduff1: You don't read my post correctly. TB doesn't work too ...

Try to re flash stock rom , and then do it. If that does not work , flash a custom rom

@therealduff1: I've installed the stock firmware and it's not the first try. On every other device it's working without a problem.
It's not the solution to install a custom firmware. I wanna stay on stock because no custom firmware works correctly
with WiFi.

Debloating google apps is possible.
Flash stock firmaware.
Download pico gapps for your android version and flash through twrp.
This will remove most of the google apps and it will remove stock google launcher too.
So you need to use any 3rd party launcher on your phone.

This sounds intriguing. I googled pico gapps but could not find what apps get removed or replaced from stock. I am also interested if pico gapps will remove many of the Google requirements such as turning on auto-sync to use Gmail. I would love to get rid of Hangouts, Google+, Movies, Photos, & Music. I am just afraid to mess with anything in the /system. I don't mind Maps but wouldn't mind a suitable replacement.

First of all install 3rd party launcher then move it to system.
Download tge pico gapps from here.... http://opengapps.org/
Flash using twrp. It will replace all unnecessary apps even maps but you can dowload it later and have it working and other required apps too.

I already realised that is not possible to freeze Google Now app and Google Now launcher with TB. The phone gets all blank after a reboot, just how mentioned in OP. I can freeze G+, Maps, G Music, etc. in Settings>Apllications. Never tried to install pico gapps on top of stock firmware.

@Arcade: Thx for this awesome tip You've pushed
me into the right direction
I've tested it but the way is not so easy as described.
First of all I've made a backup over TWRP. After that,
I've flashed open_gapps-arm-6.0-pico-20160325.zip
over the stock firmware.
But all Google Apps will be recovered after starting.
Here's a working method:
Code:
- install a 3rd party launcher like Trebuchet
- open Root Explorer or ES File Explorer and delete
70-gapps.sh under /system/addon.d
- reboot into Recovery and flash Open GApps Pico
- wipe cache / dalvik
- reboot the device
- but the GApps are always there
- take Títanium Backup and delete the unneeded APKs
- restart your device another time and that's it :D
The device isn't freezing when it's starting into the launcher.
If something goes wrong, restore your BACKUP
I'm not responsible for soft- and / or hardware crash !!!
