[EB13/EC05][Stock][Configurable Zip] System Apps Remove N Restore

:[Disclaimer]:
As always, performing a "nandroid backup" from Clockwork Mod is recommended as a precaution.
Use this at your own risk!
:[Requirements]:
An Epic 4G with Clockwork Mod recovery installed (preferably 3.0.0.6).
A text editor to edit the config file.
Note:: The EB13 files are from deodexed EB13, and are intended to be used on an EB13 based Rom.
Note:: The EC05 files are from deodexed EC05, and are intended to be used on an EC05 based Rom.
:[Description]:
This is a configurable zip that has the ability to selectively remove and restore system apps.
This is a follow up to this proof of concept.
:[Features]:
Selectively remove and / or restore any of the 66 system apps listed below.
User configurable by editing a config file that is placed onto the SD card.
[Download EB13 zip package here.]
[Download EC05 zip package here.]
:[Usage]:
This download files are not flash-able zips! (The flash-able zip is inside the downloads)
#1:: Extract the 2 files that are in the zip package onto your computer.
#2:: Copy the "system_apps.zip" onto your SD card.
#3:: Make the desired changes to the "system_apps.cfg" file, changing "no" to "yes" as desired.
For example, to remove qik, change
remove.system.qik=no​to
remove.system.qik=yes​Note:: If you don't make any changes to the "system_apps.cfg" file, the zip will not do anything other than output text!
Note:: Make sure your file is saved with unix line endings (Windows users do not create any new lines and you should be OK).
#4:: Copy the "system_apps.cfg" onto the root of your SD card ("/sdcard/system_apps.cfg").
#5:: Use Clockwork Mod recovery to install the "system_apps.zip".
:[Included apps]:
AppWidgetPicker was taken from Bonsai 3.0.1, but originated here.
LbsTestMode was taken from here, credit goes to BThomas22x it seems.
The rest of the EB13 files came from Dameon87's Stock Deodexed EB13 Rom.
The rest of the EC05 files came from Bonsai4All_EC05_UnTouched.
I have confirmed with k0nane that none of these files should effect the CIQ removal.
(With the possible exception of EC05's SprintID "W_Installer.apk" file, but who in their right mind is going to install that?)

:[Q & A]:
What happens when the system_apps.cfg file is missing or in the wrong location?
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Clockwork Mod recovery will give a status 7 error.
What happens if I change "no" to something besides "yes or "no" in the config file?
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
The script checks for "yes", so if the value is anything else, the item will be skipped (just stick with "yes" and "no").
What happens if I did not use unix line endings?
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Clockwork Mod recovery will give an error. Probably status 7, but possibly status 6.
Why does it take so long to boot after running this?
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Because it clears out the cache and dalvik-cache, causing it to be rebuilt.
:[Testing]:
This has been tested and confirmed working on an Epic 4G running Bonsai 4.0.0.

Code:
Update for EC05. (03-22-2011)

great idea, thank you.

neat! thanks

also what i do is use sdx stock app removal. when there is actually a stock app that i like i backup that app. then when i flash new roms with all bloat removed i can restore the stock apps of my choosing. the biggest one i do this with is the terrible bubble mms app and put back the eclair mms.

Updated for EC05, check OP.

Awesome bro Thank you

will it matter to flash the whole file as it is..without checking for any existing apks?? ie if i already have qik foreg.. and i dont change that to no... should it be still ok?

I want to try this, was just going to wait for the next SFR version so I can do it all at one time during my 'scheduled maintenance window'. (Reading that makes me feel that I've spent too many years in IT.) Just 2 questions:
1. There are a bunch of apps that I have removed before, like mms.apk/browser.apk, using sdx stock app removal tool and it causes FCs. Is this different if removed from CWM? If so, do we know which of these sys apps are required?
2. If I am not installing particular .apks, can they be removed from the zip to make it smaller?

App .apk brief description
To the OP,
Can you put a brief description on what each .apk is for the ones that are not known by reading them? For example, I have no idea if I still need to install FactoryTest.apk, cm-android.apk, HiddenMenu.apk, SN28-1100-sprint-signed.apk...? For some, I have no idea what it is and it would help if you can put a brief description on what the apk is?

There is a brief description of all sys apps in a thread called all app safe to remove. Search for it or page back to it in the dev section.

As the OP states, all values are defaulted to no, so flashing as is will only print text to the screen and waste your time.

#1 - I did my best to only include things that could be safely removed, but YMMV.
There's a link below to a thread of apps and what they do, if they've been removed safely, etc...
#2 - Yes, removing the apks from the zip is fine if you are only doing removals.

Does the config file have an extension, like "config.txt" - if so, then you can use root explorer on your phone and rename the file without the extenstion or the appropriate extension - you can't change the file extension to none on the PC because the PC needs the extension.
I am not stating this because I have the same problem as you, but I had another instance that was simuliar needing a certain file structure, so this is what worked for me - and maybe work for you.
Good Luck - hope this helps!

deodexing is needed to install themes and stuff.
its difficult for devs to develop themes for roms with .odex files.
hence u find almost all themes n mods require deodexed rom.
to know more, google is your friend.

i didnt understand 4th point , do we root folder in external sd, i think we have it in internal sd
4. Copy the Deodx_XXKPM_cwm.zip to the root of the external SD card

yes dude. copy it to ur ext sd.
cwm doesnt use internal memory.
so whenever flashing via cwm, always remember to copy the .zip file to ext sd

I really dont know technically but I know that when u make any changes in any system file then .odex files dont accept the changes made in that respective file so it wont run. So in this way u will no able to make changes, cant apply themes, cant install any mods in mobile.

[GUIDE] How to make your own custom ROM for the GS II Plus

GALAXY S II PLUS ROM COOKING
​
This tutorial should allow you to attain a base ROM so you can work on making a custom ROM for the our device.
PREREQUISITES:
- An I9105/P
- A brain
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
GUIDE:
A) Getting yourself ready
There are two ways you can set up your working environment. If you use Windows, you must first install Cygwin, if you use Linux then you can use kitchen directly without cygwin. You can also install linux alongside Windows using this guide.
The windows way
Download Cygwin set up from here.
Download Cygwin packages from here.
Start Cygwin set up, press "Next" then choose "Install from Local Directory"
Next you will be asked where you want to install cygwin, I prefer to install it in the root of my drive, in a directory C:\Cygwin
Next, minimize the Cygwin installation and extract the Cygwin packages you downloaded in step 2 in a suitable folder.
Go back to the Cygwin installation and choose the directory which you extracted the Cygwin packages in step 5, so the blank will contain something like "C:\Users\Laptop\Desktop\cygwin_packages\http%3a%2f%2fmirror.its.uidaho.edu%2fpub%2fcygwin%2f".
Proceed with the installation, when you see a list that says select packages... Click on the circle arrows beside "All", you should then see all the elements of the list have "Install" written aside of them.
Press next and next until the installation starts.
When the installation finishes, close the installation window and go to the Cygwin directory you chose in step 4.
Open up Cygwin to allow it to set up the categories.
Download kitchen from here.
Extract it to /cygwin/home/user
"user" here can be anything according to your PC/Laptop username.
Rename the folder "Android-kitchen..." to "kitchen".
The linux way
Download kitchen from here.
Extract it to any directory.
Open up Linux Terminal and navigate to the directory in which you extracted kitchen using cd directory command.
Continue with the tutorial in section B.
B) Extracting a base ROM to work on
Now, I am going to assume you set up cygwin and kitchen successfully... Now you need to add device compatibility..
Download this file(for I9105P) or this file(I9105 - Thanks yashuperia for testing it) credits to k2wl for the compatibility file. Copy this file to this directory ( .\home\user\kitchen\tools\edify_defs ) in the cygwin folder. Now I9105/P is officially compatible with kitchen... woohoo :victory:.
Now take your device, boot to CWM (I suppose you know how ) and make a backup.
Reboot your device.
Now plugin your device to your computer and open Clockworkmod folder in external sd card. You will find a system.ext4.tar.a folder of size about 700mb ( I think... anyway it's a big file ). Take that file and place it in your desktop or wherever you want.
Rename it to system.ext4.tar (remove .a)
Move it to the this directory ( .\home\user\kitchen\original_update ) in the cygwin folder. Then go to cygwin and enter kitchen mode from cygwin using the following.
cd kitchen [ PRESS ENTER ]
./menu [ YES WITH THE DOT, PRESS ENTER ]
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Kitchen will load up. When it's fully loaded up, press 1 and choose system.ext4.tar option...
Congratulations you have a base ROM.
C) Work on the ROM
It is not possible for me to show you every possible mod and change you can do to a ROM, but here are a few things:
DEODEX
Deodexing is important in ROM cooking before you can modify any APK, you can find the deodexing option in the Advanced Options of kitchen. You need to choose to deodex both folders and make sure the API is set to 16.
BOOTANIMATIONS
You can enable custom bootanimation support using this (credits to smokin1337). Place it in the working folder of your ROM and then add a bootanimation.zip file to your /system/media directory in your working folder. Here are some bootanimations compatible with our device.
APK MODIFICATIONS
I have made a separate thread for some APK modifications you can make to add some functionality that the device natively has disabled. Check out the modding tutorials here. You can test separate APK files you have modded using the Generic flashable zip available in the resources section below
DEBLOAT
Debloating can increase the level of performance of a device by a considerable amount. Here are some applications that you can remove from the /system/app folder of your ROM: (credits to k2wl for the list)

You can also replace the stock launcher with any launcher you like. Sec2Launcher.apk is the stock launcher, you simply need to delete it and replace it with any other, I've made a small list of my favorite launchers:
Touchwiz 5 - Thread - APK (S4 Launcher)
Apex Launcher - Thread - APK (AOSP style launcher)
Xperia Z Launcher - Thread - APK (zip) (Xperia Z Launcher)
- Copy whole system folder - NOT META-INF - from the zip to the working folder
Espier launcher - APK (iPhone-like Launcher)

RESOURCES:
How to decompile and recompile an APK
To do any modding to stock Samsung based ROM, you would first need to decompile the relevant APK and edit the relevant files, there are many guides all over XDA for XML and SMALI editing
A tool for decompiling .jar files
Unfortunately, decompiling .jar files to edit its SMALI codes is a bit more complicated, and apktool does not support it by default, so you need to get this tool, and extract classes.dex from the .jar file and decompile it using the tool, then recompile it and replace the classes.dex in the original file with the modded one.
Generic flashable zip
Use this to test individual APK files after you mod them, quite a convenient way to test a modded APK, just make sure you have a backup
IMPORTANT NOTES:
Always have a stock firmware flashable with Odin ready, or a backup ready, because sometimes, you might get bootloops.
This will not make you a developer, at all.
I am not responsible if your device explodes, bursts into flames, corrodes or worse, becomes a Galaxy Pocket.

Updated the guide, it now covers much more than just getting a base zip

Ok I read quite some guides about making a custom ROM on other sections and got quite confused.
My main purpose is to customise UIs, remove bloatwares, clear up+replace unnecessary default data (default notification sounds).
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
1) So must I deodex my stock ROM and obtain the deodexed stock ROM to make any tweak / mod on it?
-Following [GUIDE] [I9105/P] How to deodex your system without using adb shell or [I9105P] Deodexed Flashable Zips?
-Will deodexing wipe my system?
2) I have seen people talking about getting a base ROM and a CM10 ROM, which they move the CM10 feature into base ROM to edit. That one is strictly for ROM porting, right?
-Does ROM porting means making a 'non-device A' ROM to become 'device A' ROM?
3) Will you recommend me to customise your Pandamonium ROM with tweaks according to my need as a fresh start for newbie?
-Simply edit the files in the zip and then recompile back into a new zip, right?
-I realise that your ROM is based on Romania (Orange). How will the carrier affect the device in other region?

Hi there peeps, everytime i download a deodexed+rooted fw i am able to flash it, but when i make changes to it, recompile and such and try to install, it gives the installation aborted error 0 (before even installing). Do i need to change the fw im on? Currently im on

I used this method with the newly flashed Android 4.2.2 ROM. Everything worked until I tested it, it got stuck at the boot logo. I looked all over XDA and Google for solutions, and I built the ROM 4 times, and it still doesn't work. Logcat doesn't work (it hasn't made any logs after I've flashed the new ROM) and the recovery log doesn't show any errors. Can anyone help me?

Same by me. I tried it also some times. But always stuck at bootloop. Do you build with or without kernel? something we did wrong but i don't know what??

Well, I am confused because I am not sure what the kernel is, is it just in a folder in /system?
As starting ROM, I tried panda00's way (system.ext4.tar + boot.img), and I tried system.img + boot.img + cache.img. I tried using the CWM backup and I tried using the official Android 4.2.2 ROM posted here on XDA. I tried flashing while a newly Odin-flashed ROM was on my phone and I tried flashing after a full-wipe. None of the methods worked. I looked all over the web today for solutions :|

Ah OK. You tried it with kernel. It is in the boot.img. I hope you find something that can help for cooking. :thumbup:

Did you try it without the kernel? I now tried without the kernel and it still didn't work.

I also get these errors when I create the working folder using the system.ext4.tar:
tar: system/lost+found: implausibly old time stamp 1970-01-01 01:00:00
tar: Unexpected EOF in archive
tar: rtmlseek not stopped at a record boundary
tar: Error is not recoverable: exiting now

I tried it with and without boot.img. But also no luck.

No! Get no error when i build the working folder. My only problem was that the ROM i made does not boot.

I tried another tutorial in which I made my own .tar.md5 from the original ROM, but even that doesn't work :/

Is this from an MF9 ROM?

No, MDL

I think this is a great idea! but I think the apks should be able to flash separate. Some people may just want one or two and not all the bloat.

An idea is flashable aroma file. So you can select what bloatware you want..

Since these are Deodexed, I imagine they won't work on a Full stock, rooted phone?
Stupidly went deleting things in TB before backing up, and now some of the s4 special features wont work. Don't want to do a full odin.

They will. Odexed ones wouldn't work on every rom though, but deodexed will

[SHARE][MOD]Patched services.jar for GT-S7390

Hi everyone! I want to share Patched services.jar for our device GT-S7390. -Link Thread-
I'm not responsable for any device, sd cards etc... damage! Do a backup before and use it on you'r risk
What's included in the attached services.jar :
>Supercharge your service.jar - Yes
>Which strengh shall it have: Die Hard
>Maximum Overdrive feature - Yes
You can read more info about this here and here
How to install :
1. Download the attachement
2.Move it in system/framework with rootbrowser or you'r favorite file explorer. (Do not overwrite, if overwrite, all apps will force close. Tested by me )
3.Reboot in recovery
4.Use aroma file explorer , go system/framework , delete the original service.jar and rename service - Copy.jar(in mine case) in service.jar
5.Reboot. Wait untill it's optimising all apps and Done!
BIG THANKS TO > -CALIBAN666- < FOR ALL HIS JOB !!!! Again, i just sharing
P.S. > You can go on his thread and ask him what do you want to include on service.jar
>I don't think if this patched will work for GT-S7392 (dual sim variant), so, i think is much better and safe to go on his tread and tell him to patch one. If someone will do that, you can send it to me in a PM and i will add here if you think you can find it more easyer.
> Sorry, my english is bad.
I say this again , big thanks to >-CALIBAN666- < for making my device flying (joke, but i'm surprised about the improvments) !!!!!!!
And if i helped, you can hit "Thanks" button if you want
