[FUNCTIONAL][CM7] HONEYCOMB Music Player w/[CLOUD SYNC] w/ Correct Instructions-eMaN

ACTUALLY FUNCTIONAL. Thanks to lws803 for OWNER OF ORIGINAL INSTRUCTIONS + me for instruction edits to make it work. NOTHANKS to KarateExplosion6 for giving NO CREDIT to us and copying thread exactly. His isn't as functional
These instructions work for both CDMA HERO from SPRINT and the HTC DROID ERIS from VERIZON
INSTRUCTIONS
1. FIRST BEFORE ANYTHING make sure you make this path/folder on your sdcard /media/Music and place all your music there or music will NOT sync. Delete Your original music app if running a non-Sense based rom.
1.5. Download the music apk here. -----> http://www.mediafire.com/?j73zh5ld7bpcbqn
2. Open the apk using Root Explorer from your phone or from your computer with winrar
3. Open the lib folder and the 'armeabi-v7a' folder and extract 'libjumper.so' to root of sdcard. If on computer put it to your desktop
4. If you used a computer connect your phone to your computer and copy the 'libjumper.so' and the music.apk file to the root of your sd card
5. Using root explorer, go to your sd card and copy the 'libjumper.so' file and paste it in your phone system/lib
6. rename your honeycomb music apk into 'Music.apk' and make sure its in the root of your sdcard
7. close root explorer and go to terminal emulator(available on Market)
8.then type
su
[enter]
mount -o remount,rw -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock3 /system
[enter]
cp /sdcard/Music.apk /system/app
[enter]
9. Then go to root explorer again and into system>app and long press on Music.apk.
10. select permissions and make sure the check boxes have a inverted (upside down) L shaped pattern
11. close your root explorer and reboot your phone
12. You should see a bown coloured music icon on your phone's app list enjoy!
13. eMaN edit: To initiate sync go to Setting, Accounts & Sync , click on your google account and there will be options you can check and check music
14. Go to your apps and open Jumpertest app(has the music icon) then click on acounts tab, choose your gmail account, next go to the tab that has start peer, stop peer, and import media.
15. (HOW CLOUD WORKS) Ok this is the important step to initiate sync. Once following step 14 on that tab click start peer and wait 5 seconds. Next click import media and wait 5 seconds and the sync should initiate and BOOM there you have it sync may take several hours if you have a lot of music.
Also make sure in the music app u hit menu/library something/ and only stream
Make sure you tell your buddies and pals about this.

I'll try this soon, I actually wanted this for a week or so.
Looks like I'll need to nandroid first though.
EDIT: Wait, it really needs Root Explorer? Darn, I guess I finally have to break down and get it.

IMHO, root explorer is one if those apps that no rooted device should be without. Along with titanium backup. Both are excellent.

im trying this now. how do I know if its syncing?
also, will i not be able to access the music files on my sd?
I couldnt find them in my music app.
[EDIT] Nevermind, I think ive got it syncing now.

I followed the steps, synced a couple of songs, deleted them from my sdcard, after that they still showed up when i pressed "only streamed" but when i try to play them it "buffers" for 2 seconds and then says "Sorry, the player does not support this type of audio file." All files are mp3s.

I have no idea why but it works for me using an Eris and this one Guy with a sprint phone. Its 5am ill look into it laterz

I tried this on CSouth Hero and it installed fine and I believe it is syncing as we speak.
Question: Does it have to completely complete syncing before music begins to show up? I'll found out soon anyways since I didn't have much music on here.

Installed fine, synced well. Thanks!!!

Guys, it's NOT syncing in the sense that it is actually uploading music to the cloud at this time. Anyone telling you different is lying. It is simulating syncing, but not actually doing it; it is syncing file indexes...that's why the titles appear even if you remove the sd card but get the error saying "cannot play this type of file".
REPEAT: it is NOT uploading to cloud yet. Don't believe anyone who says they've got it working. It's a load.
Obv., it's nigh and will be happening soon. But not yet.

I'm finding step 10 a little confusing.
Mind clearing that up a bit?
EDIT: Never mind, got it to work. Thanks.

Hello,
You may want to make it clear to all users that the permissions for both Music.apk and libjumper.so need to be set to R,W,-,R,-,-,R,-,-. Also all steps can be completed using Root Explorer without the need to use Terminal Emulator. I seemed to have the same results doing it both ways. This is a great music program but since it was designed for a tablet there seems to be issues playing music in portrait mode at least with my phone running 2.3.3. I do have a tablet but it is only running 2.1, has there been a mod released to allow this application to run in 2.1?
Cheers

Works for me on aospCmod bro..lol..i say give her a whirl cuz its fairly nice

Does anyone have VIDEO proof? Last time I tried this, I wasted a whole day flashing a normal cm7 (no apps2ext) copying files to another sdcard since my card I use for my Nexus is about full, and tried to sync all weekend... Not doing that again for failure.

fc on rotation
I have tried installing several times now trying to eliminate any variables. every time I start the app it works great unless I rotate the phone 90 degrees in album view. I can guess just don't do that but it has me baffled.

[Q] reinstalling touchwiz30

I have a galaxy s 4g, had a week now. Installed a new loader, and app screen switcher, and was having problems with each wanting to run when pressing home. I did set launcher pro as default, but still had issues, so I uninstalled touchwiz launcher, just the launcher. Now my flipclock wont start. I've been told that touchwiz laucher has to be running for it to work. Ok.. phone is rooted, I have the touchwiz30 apk file (says no install when i see it with super user), it of course isnt installing when I try with super user. How do I get touchwiz launcher installed back to my phone?
I did search through posts here for the 4g and couldnt find this question elsewhere, please forgive if it is a replicated question, please include link to that thread!

I'm pretty sure you need to push the TouchWiz apk to /system/app... not install it.
Search the Vibrant forums too. I used to frequent that section and I think I remember people asking about that.
TouchWiz shouldn't be removed; As you have discovered, things rely on it.

Understood. (Android newb here). Ok.. so to get this back over I've had to install a ton of crap.. java sdk development.. then the android adk, I now have complete access to the phone, through terminal emulator on the phone itself, and through adb. All that works fine. however when trying to do the 'push' to the phone, I get permission denied.. I've tried various things.. using terminal to set /system/app to rw from there.. no go, tried opening two dos windows.. starting adb shell, tried remounting /system/app rw, then open using other dos window to do the push, i know the system is mounted rw, regardless of what I do I'm getting permission denied on the push. I *can* and have copied the apk through the shell, from the SD card to /system/app, however it doesn't actually install, just copies the file there... any ideas?
<still a newb but learning fast>

I haven't done it in a while. I haven't rooted my Galaxy S 4G yet (had it for a few days) and I sold my Vibrant several months ago. But I think once the apk is in /system/app, after a reboot it should be working... but I really don't know. Someone else is going to have to chime in here.
As for the "permission denied" errors, if your phone is rooted, the first time you're in the shell via PC and enter "su", the Superuser app should prompt you to give it permissions. From then on, every time you use adb through your PC, it should have super user permissions.
As a last resort, you might need to restore with ODIN if people have figured that out yet.
Honestly, I just got my phone like, two days ago and haven't done anything with it. I want to make sure I'm keeping it first. But the Vibrant wasn't much different so...

headway made, but not working yet
Ok, so here's what I've tried now. I've been using 2 dos windows to run adb with, the first I open a shell with, then set the /system/app directory to rw. I would leave that shell running. I switch over to the second dos window and try to do the push but get the (I'm finding now all too familiar "permission denied" error. So what I did next was to go back to the shell screen, and did a chmod 777 on the app directory. (Imma old SCO unix admin) Success!, I was able to push the file to the phone. I'm assuming that even though I have su with the first window, I don't with the second. So in doing that I allowed anyone to write to the app directory. However, the app still doesn't work. Nothing happens, I rebooted the phone, removed defaults for my current laucncher program, hit home, and the orginal twiz launcher doesnt appear in the list to set default to. God, what am I missing now?? Oh, after done I did reset app to 755. Do I need another file? Do I have the right file? (when browsing files it still says "no install" on it. I'm trying guys.. any help would be appreciated.

BTW, since you just got your phone, I love mine. first smart phone tho so I cant compare to others, but here's what I've found. Get another battery. The factory one, when pushed hard, dies in 3.5 hours or so. I got an aftermarket battery 3000mh, awesome now.. ran multiple apps, games, wifi connections.. etc.. hammered it 7 straight hours and still had 38% left. Huge diff. Comes with a new back as the 3200 is a lot bigger than the factory, if you can live with that. I don't care about slim.. it's gotta work.. ; )

[Q] Disabling Android 2.2 DropBoxManager

Good Day Folks.
I'm a Noob in need of help and i'm hoping the more experienced among us might be able to assist. I have an issue with disappearing phone storage. Over the course of a week I realized that I was losing about 1MB a day. My phone would basically be dormant and I would still see my storage space dropping by this amount everyday.
Cache cleaning didn't work. Later I realized that Android creates a bunch of log files in Data/System/Dropbox that was responsible for the disappearing phone storage trick I've been seeing for a while now.
I know now that Google has incorporated into Android as of the 2.2 iteration, a DropBox Manager that's responsible for logging all of the events that take place during the course of a running Android session. Everything from what took place at boot to force close details.
I understand that this is used for debugging purposes but I'm no developer . So my question is.... Can this DropBox Manager be disabled....somehow.
I really don't need all these files (and its A LOT OF THEM) being created as they serve no practical purpose for me. Not sure if anyone else might have noticed this but I'm hoping to receive some help. Even if it means pointing me in the right direction so I can work on it myself.
I really don't have a clue on how to start. Any help will be appreciated....Seriously...
Currently using G1 with CM6 Magpie running on EZTERRY's 2.6.34.7 kernel.
Its perfect except for this annoying problem.......

Hm what happens if you rename the directory. It might throw some errors in the logger, but probably won't create anymore files.
I just deleted the content of my dropbox folder, the DropboxManagerService was throwing some errors that he could not open files, but the phone was fine, no FCs or anything.

Renaming the directory just results in a random reboot. My guess is that when Android tries to create a new log, its unable to find the directory and then it just freezes and after a while it reboots. Once restarted it just reappears... I've tried that too.
And its true.. Its ok to delete the files. Its what I do currently. All of those files in Data/System/Dropbox as well as the ones located in Data/Tombstones are ok to delete. As I said, its just used for debugging purposes. Whats really annoying though is that, no matter how many times you delete anything, they just get repopulated just as fast as they're deleted. I'm ok with micro-managing my memory and phone storage (its a G1 after all) but this is ridiculous. It just creates too many of these log files too quickly.
If there was a way to turn the DropBoxManager service off then that would be the end of it all.
What's unusual about it too is that in my particular case, the contents of these text files just have two things listed in them. Pertaining to my online accounts associated with the phone: My Google account and My Whatsapp account...
It just repeats the same thing over and over again. I'm starting to think that the event data might actually be synchronization data or at least synchronization attempts made at regular intervals. But ultimately i'm guessing....
I really don't have a clue... Have you ever heard of anything like this on XDA......possible resolutions of this issue?

Not yet .
What about replacing the folder by a symlink to /dev/null ?
You could also try to change permission on the folder.

Ok... I'm a real Noob but I'll take a shot.. When you say symlink what do you mean.
I'm not really familiar with Android at that level yet its really just flashing and such.
But I know a symlink is really just a reference to a location that the OS would interpret and follow (like a pointer i think). So, is it that you're suggesting some sort of redirection where the Data/System/Dropbox directory is pointed to another arbitrary location. Kind of like a creating a dead link that Android is unable to follow up on. Or maybe, redirecting the folder to an entirely new location that Android would then follow. I'm not sure... How do you perform a symlink in Android... I'm willing to try.

You can do it with a console on the phone it self or using adb shell. You need root of course.
You could make a link to another location where you have more space?
Or you change to permissions of that directory to write only.
Or you can mount a different file system to that directory that is read only.
On how to do that just google a bit for linux tutorials on that topic.
I have just googled a bit and it seems you can't symlink directories to /dev/null.
If all that doesnt help post again, there might be an option to make an app delete the files automaticly, first time they get created.
If that would be an option too let me know, im in the mood to program something intresting .

Disabling Android 2.2 DropboxManager [RESOLVED]
I took your advice and did the research you suggested and it worked.
The first thing I tried was changing the permissions on the "Data/System/Dropbox" directory and it worked. But I didn't use CHMOD and console command line to do it.
I have a program called Root Explorer that allows me to permanently change the permissions on any file or folder I select. I set all of the offending folders to read only and the log files stopped being written to those folders.
These are the directories I set to read only:
1. "Data/System/Dropbox"
2. "Data/System/UsageStats"
3. "Data/Tombstones"
Since changing the permissions on these folders my phone storage has stopped dwindling out of control. No additional programming necessary
Disabling the DropBoxMangerService itself is not necessary which is good.
I'm going to take your advice and read up some more on Linux commands (specifically Ubuntu as its what I currently use).
You have been very helpful, thanks for the advice. If you have any ideas about Froyo ROMS (Maybe even Gingerbread ) I should try let me know.
Thanks again....

I have also found these files. They can take MUCH space in memory and nothing seems to delete them. I made the dropbox system folder RO but I think this is a bug. It should be reported to the dropbox team. Is there a bug report form somewhere? I did not find it... Just found the forum, QA,...
[edit]I reported it in the forum... Just see http://forums.dropbox.com/topic.php?id=41227 [/edit]

Hey, just looked at your SD Maid app (looks cool).
So what do you know about /data/system/dropbox? I just read that htc uses the dir to store phone events which is then sent to the htc cloud of spying-on-your-ass. But since non-htc phones have this dir, is htc merely misusing the directory and it has other legit uses, or is this a directory we should try to keep cleaned out?
(I like the idea of changing perms so nothing writes to it if that's the case.)

600 MB additional free storage
Hi all
Just found a smart way to increase your Dropbox account with 600 MB:
1 Sign into your existing Dropbox account (or create a new account)
2 Goto https://www.dropbox.com/free
3 Follow instructions ... and voila 600 MB additional free storage

Yay, nice to see you didn't read the thread at all.
This has nothing todo with dropbox.com

Yea other day I got the SD Maid, and the Pro version after I saw how handy it was. I too on my G1 (with 2.2) see that dropbox folder.. and lately Ive been thinking its causing my G1 to constantly reboot. When I look, it has 300+ files in it. So I clear that folder and seems to stop rebooting for a lil while.
Not sure what the deal is here however, been trying to find out. HOWEVER it only seems to reboot once its connected to the internet, so I am wondering if this is where it tries to upload and so. Not really sure. That and its hard to tell in logcat whats going on before it reboots.

Thanks
Excellent information. This works on my Sony Ericsson Xperia Pro MK16a, Rooted. Thank you so much. My best regards.

Try to change the permisions of the folder, I'm not sure if it would work but you could try ^^
Sent from my GT-I9001 using xda premium

All is ok
All was fine. The permissions :laugh:changed with root explorer. Thank you so much

Note completely disabled but only 1 file in the /data/system/dropbox folder with these Android shell commands (or use Sqlite3 editor):
content insert --uri content://settings/secure --bind name:s:dropbox_max_files --bind value:i:1
Or for Android 4.2+
content insert --uri content://settings/global --bind name:s:dropbox_max_files --bind value:i:1
settings put global dropbox_max_files 1
Reboot.
more dropboxmanager settings:
dropbox_age_seconds
dropbox_max_files
dropbox_quota_kb
dropbox_quota_percent
dropbox_reserve_percent

I've been using the advice from this thread to control this "dropbox" data collection directory for several years now until I updated to 9.0 and found that the folder and default permissions were restored after every reboot. Was irritating bc I can use root to modify /system but no longer have control over my own data partition Something is over-riding my root-user!!!
I tried different apps, TWRP's FM, adb, and almost gave up when init.d scripts wouldn't work either. init.d will work tho. A simple script to run
Code:
#!/system/xbin/sh
busybox rm -f /data/system/dropbox
at boot. You can probably chown and chmod if you want but I just deleted it. Just put it in your init.d folder and make sure you give it the correct permissions (root:shell -755), then immediately perform a soft reboot. Use hardware keys if you have to. You want the phone to go immediately OFF, no spinny wheels or "powering off" notifications. That's the only way I could get rid of the damn thing.
Anyway, I came across this thread while searching for a solution and thought I would add this in case any other paranoids like me are concerned about this mysterious "dropbox" directory. This will probably break any ability for google to troubleshoot your phone but I don't think that's real anyway. It's just spyware as far as I'm concerned.
p.s. (off-topic) Thanks @Dark3n I'm also a frequent SD Maid user btw and in case you happen to read this, I thought I might mention I intended to send a donation via your app the other day (i like to show love when ppl share badass works) but balked at the only available option for "pizza," not bc I don't appreciate it that much but I can afford a little every now and then. If you add a smaller option, "coffee" or beer or whatever, maybe even an outside of googlePlay option, BTC perhaps. I'd be happy to shoot a few dollars at you.

Market Fix - Froyo Apps + Tegra 2 Apps

In addition to the standard Market Fix to get protected applications working (clearing cache/data), we also need to trick Google to think we have a Tegra 2 device.
We simply need to change the following line in /system/build.prop
ro.product.device=olympus
This tells Google Market we are using a Motorola Atrix 4G and will give us the missing Tegra 2 apps when applying our market fix.
However, since we are mimicking a phone, Tablet specific apps will not show up (NYTimes app for Tablets is an example)
Cheers!
Edit:
It is well known that the Google Web Market is hit and miss on our GTablets. This thread indicates it may take a few days for our tablet's to show up on the web interface. However, what this fix does is allow you to download most of the Froyo + Tegra2 apps via the Market Application within our tablets. There will be applications that will refuse to install through the web market interface (if your tablet can actually show up on the darn thing) because of missing capabilities, but will install just fine via the Market app.
If you want to install apps using a web browser from your Desktop computer, I recommend the use of Appbrain to generate your list of desired apps and then syncing your list on the tablet to install.

Hi,
SUPER!!
This build.prop change, just by itself, on stock 3588, allows me to see a bunch of apps I haven't been able to see before, including Firefox, Flash, Tank Hero, etc. Didn't have to do anything else, no fingerprint changes, etc.
Thanks!

AWESOME! The only thing I can't find is message ease which is no great loss and I'm not seeing it on the web either -- I think they are pulling it on and off the market. But YES -- Laucher Pro, Saumari, Silver Creek games, Flash 10.2, tv.com, both opera browsers, dolphin HD -- all there. FANTASTIC. THANK YOU!
Even Vlingo shows up which was never found before. Truth is I don't even want it but it was one of my indicators.

Hmmm... the market.android.com site no longer shows my device since I made the above fix! It only shows my older device. I tried just clearing the market cache and rerunning but no go. I am now running the regular market fix (clear cache in market, stop, clear data in service framework, stop, reboot).
I did install things off the market, but it had to be from the device.
Ok tablet is booted back up.... drum roll....
Nope. And now I am -- for now -- only showing my paid apps off the market, none of the freebies I had previously installed.
UPDATE: I killed the market data and cache along with the service framework data and rebooted. This made no difference to the web site (unless it takes time for it to catch up) but it did -- after installing something else -- restore my existing apps. On the other hand, having the market working on the device beats the web site, but it still means something is "off".

How do we request this be made a sticky?
I know I've tried just about every market tweak for the last 3+ months and this is the only 1 that made a huge diff.
Jim

I haven't tried this fix (heck I don't even know how to apply it, someone mind helping a noob out?) but I had the same problem you did where the web market doesn't show your device. I tried spamming the regular market fix and still no good.
However I logged back into the web store today and it showed my device, weird.
Not sure how to fix it but yesterday I changed my password so I was forced to sign in again. Of course that didn't work at the moment but I guess it worked since I can now see my device now.
Hope this helped.

Yeah I tried logging out of the web site and back in. I've tried forcing a google account sync. And I've tried making sure Talk is running (apparently the website uses talk to send things to your device.).
Just for fun I put my ro.product.name/device/board back to Vega and with no reboot or anything the web site immediately found the device.... curious....
Well now that I'm back on the web site, my market is back to how it was even after I put the olympus line in. Getting too late. Will look at it tomorrow :-(

I did the change by:
- get temp root via z4root
- make /system R/W via root explorer
- start a terminal
- cd /system
- Edit build.prop: busybox vi build.prop
- did regular market fix
- reboot

Nope. And now I am -- for now -- only showing my paid apps off the market, none of the freebies I had previously installed.
UPDATE: I killed the market data and cache along with the service framework data and rebooted. This made no difference to the web site (unless it takes time for it to catch up) but it did -- after installing something else -- restore my existing apps. On the other hand, having the market working on the device beats the web site, but it still means something is "off".

You're right that having market work on the device beats the website! The web market issues may be a whole separate battle.

I did the change by:
- get temp root via z4root
- make /system R/W via root explorer
- start a terminal
- cd /system
- Edit build.prop: busybox vi build.prop
- did regular market fix
- reboot

I'm quite new to the Android OS so I'm not really sure how to do this.
I installed z4root and got temp root. I'm not sure if I needed it as I read somewhere that Vegan 5.1.1 (which I am using) gives me root already.
But I installed it and ran it anyways.
I'm stuck on giving my /system read and write permissions. Is this 'root explorer' app needed? Or can I use my 'iFileExplorer' app to do so, if so how? (It came with the vegan ROM)

Not sure if you meant to type ifileManger, but it will not get you write permissions. Root explorer will allow you to write. It looks as though you may have to
open a terminal up as discussed above, to change the build prop.

Hi,
If you don't have root explorer, there's a free app on market called something like "system mount r/w" that is free that will mount /system as r/w for you. Or, I think that you can do it using a terminal and a mount command (something like mount -remount....).
Normal file explorers won't do the remount.
Jim

mount -o remount,rw /system /system
Watch out for the spaces and you need to be root so do an su command first.
When done, repear the mount command but use ro instead of rw. You can do this with a terminal program or the adb.

Root Explorer is what, $3.99? Worth it for the time savings. I bought the Ti Pro too. $300+ on a tablet...spend $9 on some software to make life easier.

iam a noob. i have stock rom 3588. how do i get market working?

By the light of morning I got back to a full market! But it again broke the web site connection. Is anyone seeing this behavior? Or is it just me?
For the new guys.
1) This appears like it MAY break your connection with the market web site [Update: Wait a few hours and it appears to catch up with you]. It may have other unknown effects. If you are not comfortable with making mods you might wait until more people have reported success or failure with this. For the record I did NOT find this fix (thanks Isira -- see OP of this thread). Just writing up my take on what you need to do. This applies to VEGAn 5.1.1 with supplement. It has been noted that with a stock rom you may need to put "busybox" before commands like cp (which you don't need to use if you have Root Explorer, by the way). If you get this to work (or not) on a different ROM, report it in this thread.
2) That being said, you need a file explorer that will look at / and edit text files, an su utility (comes with your root kit; as far as I know all the custom ROMs are pre rooted) and a command shell/terminal. Or you could spring a few bucks and get Root Explorer which is well worth it and does all of these things. Others have suggested Absolute Root tools which I do not know about. You could also use adb for all of it (which is what I did) but if you know how to do that, you probably don't need me to tell you what to do. We will be changing your build.prop file in the /system directory.
IF YOU ARE NOT USING ROOT EXPLORER GO DOWN TO STEP 3B. IF YOU ARE, GO TO STEP 3A.
3A) Open root explorer. Find /system and press the "Mount R/W" button.
4A) Long press on build.prop and select Copy. Then navigate somewhere like /mnt/sdcard and press the paste button at the bottom of the screen. This is your backup. Please backup.
5A) Go back to /system
6A) Long press on build.prop again. The menu is scrollable. You want Open in Text Editor.
7A) Find the line that says ro.product.device=XXXX (where XXXX is probably Vega). Make it read:
ro.product.device=olympus
Don't change anything else.
8A) Save the file by pressing the menu key and selecting Save & Exit.
9A) Scroll to the top of the /system directory and press the Mount R/O button.
10A) Reboot your tablet. Wait for things to settle down on restart. Open Market. Look for Saumari 2. Look for LauncherPro, Opera Mobile, etc. It will all be there.
If you don't have root explorer:
3B) Open the terminal. At the prompt, enter (spaces and lower case matter):
su
mount -o remount,rw /system /system
HINT: If you think you will do this a lot grab Script Manager off of the market. You can put the mount line in a script, tell it to execute as root (which is the same as su) and then you can run the script when you want to make changes.
4B) Start your file manager and find the /system directory. Your file manager probably starts in /sdcard or /mnt/sdcard. You'll need to go "up" a directory or two to root and then back down. Either way, when you find it, make a backup copy of build.prop somewhere you can write to. Seriously. Do not skip this step. Make the copy.
5B) Edit build.prop. You are looking for a line that sys ro.product.device=XXXX (probably Vega; I don't know about other ROMs and if this works for other ROMs but for VEGAn 5.1.1 its Vega). Carefully replace whatever you have as XXXX to olympus. So the line should read:
ro.product.device=olympus
Note: Some of us had other changes to build.prop. Not clear if these had any effect or not.
6B) Save your changes. If your file explorer is not root, you probably need to save the file to where you can write (your sdcard for example) and the copy from a terminal, such as:
su
cp /mnt/sdcard/new-buildprop.txt /system/build.prop
or
su
busybox cp /mnt/sdcard/new-buildprop.txt /system/build.prop
7B) Open your terminal and enter:
su
mount -o remount,ro /system /system
Remember spaces and case count! Also if you are in the same terminal window as before you don't have to keep entering su since you stay root.
NOTES FOR BOTH SETS OF INSTRUCTIONS
I did the original market fix after saving the file, but some people say it is not necessary. But at least a few people have said they don't see much or anything in market until the redo the fix (the one where you delete the market cache and the google services framework data and reboot).
Things that appear to work:
1) Installing free programs
2) Updating existing programs
3) Amazon market web site oddly enough
4) The official market Web site AFTER WAITING SEVERAL HOURS
5) Buying an app off the build in application
Some of us had other changes to build.prop but I don't think any of them were significant. If you have trouble you might apply it (shouldn't hurt). Also, if your "my apps" only shows your paid apps (or nothing if you have no paid apps), try downloading anything off the market and that will usually restore it. There is also an update local cache key that might do the trick, but loading some freebie off the market is easier. Also check to make sure gtalk is logged in. You can try forcing a resync on your Google accounts (in the main menu under Accounts).
Hope that helps someone. Its early so I probably made mistakes and will edit any that are found.

wd5gnr,
I don't know how "unusual" it is, but on my Gtab, where I had 3452 for awhile, then now 3588, I've always noted that I don't have a "cp" command, so I have to use "busybox cp".
Just FYI, in case anyone encounters this when they try your instructions.
Jim

Based on this thread ( http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=941205 ), it seems it may take a few days for the tablets to register on the market.
I have 3 tablets and I'm trying to change the identifier for each tablet through the ro.product.model and seeing if each of the tablets will show up on the market. So far, only one tablet is showing on the web market, but it's still using the old ro.product.model identifier (GTablet-TnT-Lite).
However, the web market is still pretty wonky. Certain apps may refuse to install through the web market because of missing capabilities on our tablets, but will install just fine through the market app.

[BATCH FILE] Lollipop Bloatware Removal!

Hello everyone! This is my first post here, and I felt like this would be a useful thing for everyone in this community.
I have created a batch file that removes bloatware from the Rooted OC4 Update provided to us by muniz_ri.
To create the batch file I used the lists of programs removed by this batch file by xboxexpert and The PURGE v1 by elliwigy.
I created this batch file because the Lollipop update changed the file structure and the above files no longer work at all. Once again, the ONLY thing I did here was restructure their files to work with Lollipop. However, I would appreciate any suggestions of applications to add to the file so that we can get OC4 as debloated as possible!
Below are the applications that my batch file removes.

Thanks to:
elliwigy for [Zip][Script][SS][NI2][Extreme Debloater][The PURGE v1]
xboxexpert for [BATCH FILE] Stock Verizon Apps that can be removed..are removed!
muniz_ri for [How-To] Update to G900V_OC4 - 5.0 and KeepRoot (3/30/2015)

Thank you for this! I'm fairly familiar with batch scripts and adb executions, but can you provide some basic instructions to properly run this against the phone, and how to edit/remove apps from the removal list that we'd like to keep?
Cheers and thanks again,
|nsom

So to properly run this type of batch file on your phone, enable USB debugging on your phone, plug it in to your computer. and then follow these steps:
1. Open a command prompt in the debloat folder. (On Windows, shift right click in any blank space in the folder you extracted my files to, press open command prompt here)
2. Type "adb devices" without quotes, this will bring up the prompt on your phone to allow the computer debugging access to your phone.
3. Type "adb shell" and then type "su" without quotes, and this will bring up a SuperSU prompt for the ADB shell.
4. Ctrl-C out of the command prompt.
Then, after you've done that, all you have to do is double click debloat.bat
If you wanted to customize the batch file to keep programs that you want, you just simply open the debloat.bat file in your favorite text editor, then find the application you want to keep in the file, and just delete the line that contains your application. Do keep in mind that some applications may have dependencies that are also removed by this file, so in some cases, you might not simply be able to remove just that one line.

So... shall I be the huckleberry?
I never 'shift-right clicked' before and that was pretty cool, I saw the option to "open command prompt". Holy smokes. I quit there, and thought I'd ask, has anyone tried this yet?
You do realize I'm reluctant of the hassle to fire up Odin and flash the NCG kernel and all that in and out and to and fro stuff again. My phone is just fine, but SafeStrap disappeared on boot after flashing the 5.0 OptimusROM, and I read where it said you have to start from scratch darn near. I'm liking root, but I miss that "ThePURGE" I flashed into the 4.4.4.
Seriously, when I saw the instructions I just right mouse clicked, didn't see that option until I held down shift on the keyboard. I was like 'whoa! I'm in over my head!'
I looked up ADB and it's Android Debugging Bridge. I sense a new frontier, but you know how blind you are going in on something you've never tried before, right?
So has anyone tried this debloat? Shall I be the huckleberry?

i was just about to run it, but then I checked out the bat file with notepad, and there was a lot of apps I wanted to keep, which made me questioned the other 60 unknown things. I'm not doing it. I'll look for a more advised list.

I gave it a go and it all worked fine for me.. I did however edit the bat file to keep the apps I wanted to keep.

Jd254, I did not make up this list of apps to be deleted. Every app in this script has been included in two of the most known and recommended debloat scripts for the Galaxy S5, all I did was simply edit the scripts so that they would work on Lollipop, as the file structure changed and the old scripts will not work properly on Lollipop.

These instructions may not even be necessary to be honest. As long as you have USB Debugging enabled on the device, the prompts *should* come up when you first launch the script. Also, in regards to trying it, I am currently running my phone just fine with it, although I have redownloaded some apps I wish to keep such as YouTube. The nice thing though, is that if you remove the apps with this script and then redownload them from the play store, you will actually be able to uninstall them at a later time, unlike when they are preinstalled and all you can do is "disable" them.

I gave it a whirl. I never did android debugging bridge before, can't say that now! It went off without any problems, except for getting started. I switched the USB options on the S5. After I put the check into the Camera (PTP) instead of Media Device (MTP) the computer installed drivers. I also had my data turned off, and I turned that back on the S5. I switched it back to MTP and ran the command prompt. Then I got a SU prompt and granted it on the S5. So it ran the batch file thing and the S5 rebooted all by itself.
First thing I noticed is YouTube was still there. Then I went through it and wow there was a lot of crap gone, yay! Remembering what you said, you could uninstall YT later, so I tried that, and no more YouTube! Cool. I'll probably reinstall it, but it's great to see your debloat thing work. I was going to fire up Titanium Backup to freeze it all out of there, but this is much better.
Good job. Fine work.

UPDATE
I did a full wipe except SD card and a fresh install of OptimusRom 5.0 After it fired up I just clicked next skip continue until the S5 was all the way booted up, without setting anything up. Then I fired up ADB and side loaded your debloat zip. That made a big difference. Great job of getting rid of a bunch of crap!
Thanks again.
Now I can install YouTube if I 'want to'.

THANK YOU
Awesome thank you very much for this gives you a clean slate. fresh start only the apps you want, good in my folder of go to scripts apps and firmware!

Can this be run on stock OC4, unrooted phone??

How do I know when it's done doin' it's thing?
Thanks for this by the way!!!
Daang, that free'd up a ton of system/RAM space.... are any of you guys noticing any hiccups or negative repercussions due to removing all this stuff?

Will this work with the latest update OD5?

Is there a batch file for the S4?
Does anyone know if this batch file will work on a S4? If not is there one available for the S4? There is a method on the Verizon S4 forum that uses Titanium Backup to remove bloat but I like this batch file method. Thanks

Yep, I have a rooted deodexed OD5 and this worked great. It only mentioned one app that wasn't found to debloat - wish I took notice - but I figured it was already removed by Verizon as part of OD5.
The only caution I would throw out there is that by uninstalling S-Voice, you get a dead button on your dialer. I'm trying to figure out how to assign Google Voice Search to it in this XDA thread.

Updated:
Also, my brightness adjustment slider disappeared, and I'd like to get that back since I used to use it quite often. I am considering looking into this method to restore it, however the scenario is the exact opposite. The brightness adjustment slider disappeared on a 4.4.2 Note 4 ROM, but OK on a Lollipop ROM, while it's my OD5 Lollipop ROM that the debloating apparently clipped.
This was not caused by debloating, but rather by accepting Wanam Xposed default tweaks. Per attached, under the Theme settings, the brightness slider can be controlled and customized.

I do have to say that I love the deodexed, debloated OD5 though. I even have Xposed running smoothly on it, and the phone is super fast with excellent battery life.

I used it on an S4 after removing the MyFiles line item (so I could switch he default storage location to SD card). The script noted that several items did not succeed, I'm assuming because they didn't or were different on the S4, but at the end of the process it was nicely debloated.
I also didn't have success with the S4 Titanium Backup method, which left my phone bricked for some reason, which led me to try this one.

Thank you very much for the reply Ed. Muniz_ri just put a batch file method on the Verizon S4 forum.

Glad to see the original list is still put to work over here!
I never created an updated purge script. The only reason I didnt update it was because i now have an s6e but now i dont need to update it! lol
