PC script to auto remove apk's

Hey everyone!
On the rom I currently use there are about 20 apk's I have no need for. What I do is download the rom, and individually delete the apk's before flashing the rom. The thing is I flash quite often (cheeky, I know ) and this is getting quite frustrating.
Ideally I want a script that does this all for me. I found one but it seems be for running on the phone, after the apk's have been installed. Does anyone know how I can create a script for the PC that does this before I even install the rom?
Thank you for any suggestions.
Oh and here's the thread I found that looked relevant...

Over what OS?
If in Windows (or any M$ OS, incl. DOS) you can make a batch file.
My file is adjunted as example (modify as you like, put in the root dir -obviously to the unzipped ROM- and run. Rezip and maybe re-sign)

Thank you. This is exactly the kind of thing I am after. If I had of been born just a few years earlier I would probably know all about batch scripts. Fortunately, I just missed the DOS days!
Anyway, I puzzled out / looked up the commands in the script you posted. Based on that I extracted the rom, then placed the batch file within it, so that the cd (current directory) command runs correctly.
Unfortunately this mucks up the signing on the rom. Do you re-sign your CM7 roms every time you do this or is there an easier way?
Edit: My PC is Win 7, 64bit, soon to be Win 8 Consumer Preview.
Edit: The roms do not need resigning.

I don't re-sign the ROM, simply flash again over Clockworkmod Recovery.. and work.
But, you can:
1) sign using Auto-Sign....
2) Click [Thanks]...

Big thank you. That's solved that one nicely for me!

You're welcome.
Updated zip in my first Post.

Hey again. I was hoping to build on the script you kindly provided. At the moment I am using various alpha roms where the exact apk's present changes fairly often. It would be great if I could see the outcome of each action. This way I would know if the apk has had it's name changed or been removed. How would I enable this?

[Q] [HELP] How do i get rid of this FREAKIN update notification message??

:crying:
So i just downgraded to ICS again since JB is waaaay too slow and seemed not working well with me.
My current version is 4.03 with US .30, rooted of course. Here's the thing.
My freakn stupid TF700 keeps alerting me with this message.
"New firmware update is available"
I DON'T WANT UR DAM JELLYBEAN UPDATE! I REALLY HATE THAT and do not even wanna see the word ''update" any more
it seriously freaks me out and I wanna kill myself every time I see anything related to 'UPDATE' or 'JELLY BEAN'..
EVERY SINGLE TIME I turn it on, they show me the message. Even if i ignore it once, it is still stuck in the corner of my tf 700 as u can see
from the pictures I attached. In those pictures, things in blue box are able to erase or delete by just sliding it to the right or left.
But those in red box are undeletable. There's nothing i can do to get rid of those stupid update icons and notifications.
What can I do to NOT see this notification again? I will do anything...
PS. While i was reading HTC forum, I found a thread with the same problem and one of em suggested solution
by adding something like this to the build.prop
(ro.config.htc.nocheckin=1)
Of course this one is for HTC EVO 4G LTE so theres no way it's gonna work on my TF 700
but could there be something like this that I could use for my infinity?

If your device is rooted, rename /system/app/CMClient.apk and /system/app/DMClient.apk to e.g. CMClient.disabled and DMClient.disabled - that should prevent starting them at the next reboot.
And, just to contribute something to the community's collective knowledge, please upload your file /cache/dlpkgfile somewhere - I want to know if that is a direct upgrade from 9.4.5.30 to 10.4.4.20.

Problem solved

Well, right after posting this article, I started deleting things using root explorer to see if anything can solve the problem.
Since I am not an expert, I deleted pretty much everything that seemed useless for me, including DMC and CMC whatever they are.
If i knew what I know now, I could have just renamed them, but anyway those files are completely gone now.
and Hallelujah! The notification's gone too. Thanks for your support tho.
I don't know if you still want my dlpkg file since the problem's solved already.
If you still want it, just let me know where to find that file (exact location/directory of the file) and where to upload it.:good:

Yes, please. The exact location of the file is "/cache" and the name is "dlpkgfile". I just noticed that the file will be rather big (~185 MB) and only a small detail will reveal if it is interesting in its entirety, so if you have such a file on your device, please do the following:
- download the dlpkgfile file to your PC and rename it to dlpkgfile.zip
- extract \META-INF\com\google\android\updater-script from the zip
- attach the extracted file (~291 kB) to your reply post
If the first lines of updater-script indicate that it's an update from 9.4.5.30 to 10.4.4.20, the whole file can help users who downgrade to root and want to re-upgrade to the latest JB.

Alright

Here it is.
I don't know why, but I couldn't upload it here with its original form (which is just a file named 'updater-script')
so I added .zip at the end. I bet you know what you have to do now, just delete '.zip' part and use it for the community.

Code:
assert(file_getprop("/system/build.prop", "ro.build.fingerprint") == "asus/US_epad/EeePad:4.0.3/IML74K/US_epad-9.4.5.30-20120907:user/release-keys" ||
file_getprop("/system/build.prop", "ro.build.fingerprint") == "asus/US_epad/EeePad:4.1.1/JRO03C/US_epad-10.4.4.20-20121026:user/release-keys");
Nice, that's a direct upgrade from 9.4.5.30 to 10.4.4.20. That confirms my theory that there are dlpkgfiles that bundle multiple incremental updates into one.
If you could upload the complete dlpkgfile to some file upload service, US users who want to root their tablet without unlocking would be grateful for a one-step upgrade to the latest JB, having to mess with OTA RootKeeper and the manual upgrading process only once. (I personally don't need it, since I'm unlocked and on WW firmware)

[Q] disappeared Lock-Screen Ring & Home

I was playing with System/app/...
after checking some useless apps and removing them, this happened to me .
I am wonder what did i choose by mistake, and what was that?
check attachments for screen shots please.
I am not sure about Fusion.apk
If yes that's the problem, may some one provide a copy for me.
Thanks.
Actually they are there, and i can use them, but not visible.
Desire S
ICS 4.0.4
Sense 3.6

fusion.apk is part of htc sense framework, just open rom zip and copy that file to /system/app and reboot

LooL Thank BTW.

Haven't played with RUU for a very long time. but if I remember correctly, when you run exe it extracts rom zip file to a temp folder somewhere on your c drive, keep it open and do a search you should be able to find the zip.

A good example of why it's a good idea to make a nandroid backup before playing with the system...

Yep, OP just needs to search and read. This is exactly the method we used to get the .zip originally when the ICS RUU was released by HTC.

IDC i always relock - install RUU - unlock - root.
THATS ALWAYS BETTER TO HAVE A CLEAR INSTALLATION OF SOME THING RATHER THAN PACK INSTALLATION.

That's really nice if it does some thing like that. i did search in %temp% and %user%/app/data
but no trace .
and i am not sure that you are able to use UniExtractor to extract this new type of protected EXE file.
by using CMD, n does command you would get a pack from that EXE file, included a CAB file which is included all data in,
Is there to open a protected CAB?
usualy windows Cabinet files may extract via Winrar, Cabex, Cabextractor, etc ...

No, there is no problem whether you are rooted or not as you said you need the Fusion.apk - which you just need to pull from the extracted .zip file after the first stage of running the RUU on your PC.
I don't have a problem with you - other than the fact that you seem to want to argue with anyone who gives you advice. You asked for a .apk file - you were suggested to extract it yourself from the RUU and then you decide to argue and find reasons why you can't do it. If you want help then read the answers from knowledgeable people and try what they suggest - otherwise what is the point in asking?
As for my 'Thanks' - who cares? I know less than many of the people on here, and you don't get 'Thanks' in Off-Topic, and I am almost never in OT, and it's none of your damn business why people have thanked me in the past.
You seem to have a real attitude of assuming you have a right to be supported. XDA is not, and never has been, a helpdesk for noobs - you need to get that into your head and deal with it.
Edit on this as I wanted to be sure of what I was saying. If you run the RUU then it will extract various info, including ROM.zip, into a temp folder, but this .zip is only useful as an image to flash from recovery, not to extract individual files from. On that basis, look for one of the ROMs that were based on the official RUU - there was a de-odexed, pre-rooted one released fairly shortly after the RUU - and pull fusion.apk from there.
And don't take your rookie mistake and frustration at yourself out on other members of XDA.

My Desire s is running MIUI v5 android 4.1.2 rom about 4 months and it runs Perfect , the best ROM I have ever used, BTW I bought Lumia 920, and I Love it, do not want to go back to android again.

need Cyanogenmod v.11. where/how do i get it?

okay, so im flashing my nook with Cyanogenmod v.11....
i found what i thought was it but doesnt appear to be.
i have a zip for NookHDplus-CWM-6046-for-internal-memory-rev0-(07-13-14) but it doesnt have the files that it is suppost to come with because people say that same thing should have more files and different files. some say it's a zip, some say it's a rar. but my question is: how do i find it? all the sources are so old that they refer to the site that shut down.
where can i get the proper version of it?

Help to find a "clean" SystemUI file

Hi. I own a Uniwa A19S phone which runs Android 6. I just found out it came out of the factory with an infected SystemUI.apk file (a trojan is injected into the file).
Since the trojan can NOT be removed I badly need a clean copy of this file.
The version I'm looking for is: 6.0-1602570800 code 23 (about 5 Mb in size, other versions won't work). I searched around the net with no luck so far, therefore any help is greatly appreciated.
Thank you
Mike

1) how do you know it's infected?
2) why do you think there exist clean version of it?

Thanks alecxs for taking the time to reply.
My Eset antivirus detected this malware. I sent the file for further inspection to the ESET Malware Response Team which promptly replied with this:
Detection is correct. This malware is serving advertisements.
It has ability to download another applications and install them directly into the phone
In fact I found other applications and my phone was even hijacked and 6 calls were made to Tunisia and Morocco (but the phone company reimbursed me).
Luckily I was able to remove SystemUI.apk from the phone but as a result the phone is now crippled although functional. I was hoping to find someone with the same version of my systmeUI.apk file to restore the full functionality. Because, as you may imagine, a factory reset restores the trojan.

Use APKtool to unsign and decompile the apk then remove the trojan from the apk then recompile and re-sign the apk. Then replace the infected apk with your modified apk then reboot the device.

Thanks Droidriven for the instructions. I've never decompiled an apk file, this is new territory for me. But I'll look into it and will do my best.
Cheers

So I installed APKtool, and managed to decompile the apk. However, since I'm no expert here, I really don't know how to go about locating the viral payload and properly remove it without affecting the legitimate code during the process .... hmmmm ... I'm winging it here ....

check the META-INF for permissions and apk data

Please bear with me because I'm confused. I really don't know what to look for.
