WinRar. Ask the dev if you may edit the rom. You can easily add, remove or switch the integrated APKs, sounds and so on.

i know i can delete the apk's from the ROM directly, but i can say if the installer detect they are missed up and abort the instalation or brick the phone! Im a noob in that point, my idea was edit a ROM to everytime i need to flash it doesnt have to do all the same things like delete apks via root explorer and etc!

Deleting any files from a ROM is not recommended but if you know what you are doing, it's fine.
Also you could also flash a Clean Rom without all the useless APK's and when flashing gapps the smallest one with only the core and playstore.

To delete APKs use "Titanium Backup" --> batch uninstall, means you can uninstall all unwanted apps with 1 klick.

LOL, yes i CAN read and i DO so. We talked about you can delete any unwanted apks from the zip as long as they are not relevant for the system. Works on roms and on gapps packages.
And I wrote that for me its easier to perform a batch uninstall with Titanium backup (takes about 1 minute) after flashing the rom as deleting the apks manually by editing the rom.zip as I flash my phone nearly every day.
LOL

Uninstalling ROM Bundled Applcations in Android Environment

Hi Team,
Is there anyway that we can uninstall pre bundled apps in ROM. For example i dont want Messaging app and i want to uninstall it as im more comfortable with Handcent SMS messaging application.
Thanks
Note: Sorry if its a repost
Titanium Backup will do it...you have to be rooted.
Thanks Mate
Downloaded gona try it
Uninstalled .. Didnt help or may be i dont know how to use it ....
Just open the rom zip on your PC, and browse to the system/apps and delete what you don't want, then flash it.

[Q] YouTube OFF?

Hi Guys,
Every ROM I flash I try to Freeze/Uninstall and remove from Boot Many, the YouTube App.
I don;t use it ever, but even if it says freezed successfully it still comes back after reboot.
What's so special about it and will it creat a problem if I delete it and main question is how?
Thank you

In my other android device experience, Nook Color / Simple Touch, YouTube is instrumental in the Google Apps authentication process. For instance to get market working on nooted versions of those devices you had to sign into YouTube first.
Why are you trying to get rid of it?

Fair enough. Why don't you give it a try? Make a nandroid backup and then delete the file via ADB in recovery mode (or move it to /data/local/tmp for easy restore). Clear Cache / Dalvik reboot and see if anything isn't working properly.
I would say you can delete via ADB in ICS but many people, myself included, are having issues mounting /system in ICS. It could be possible that this failure for /system to consistently mount could be why TiBu isn't freezing it properly.
Use root uninstaller, its how I have removed all system apps since my gb 2.3.1 days on my x10. A very effective method
Thank you for responces.
The proper way I found would be to transfer it to a User App and uninstall.

I use 7zip. open the archive and delete it, or add whatever .apk you desire. I always do this before I even flash a rom. Winrar should work fine, though.

Remove unwanted apps.....

Ok guys this is my first post in xda and hope to help rookies out there who are wondering how to remove apps that they don't use at all but eats up their internal memory.
1.Download any file manager with root explorer capability (eg. es file explorer,file manager etc)
2.Enable root explorer and mount the system folders as r/w
3.Goto this folder :\system\app
4.Try to recognise the app you want to delete
5.Now delete the apk of the file
6.Reboot into recovery and fix permissions
voila there you have it.....Your phone free of unnecessary bloatware
BE CAREFUL NOT TO DELETE SYSTEM APPS LIKE BLUETOOTH,WIFI ETC
Don't get me wrong but this is stupid idea, especially for new users, this is maybe easyest way to get htc white screen, yes I admit it's fastest way but, not correct way of new users to remove apps.
Here is something easyer and way more safer https://play.google.com/store/apps/...1bGwsMSwxLDEsInpzai5hbmRyb2lkLnVuaW5zdGFsbCJd
Hmmm...

never had a problem till now...
if you know what you are doing
i always do it this way but.... i dont think its advisable for newbies maybe you can include apps that CANT be remove during the process therefore making it safer

This is the important part! But new users often don't know what exactly they are doing. First time when I did it this way........let's just say it wasn't pretty after a reboot. As I sayed it's working, even now I do it like this but it's not good for guys who just rooted their phones and started with experiments.

ok guess you are right
wanted to know if I do though this method and remove the unwantedand unroot my phone after that will I have any probs
It depends what do you delete, if you delete something important, yes you will have problems, if you check out this list and think a little bit you will be fine http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=27123725&postcount=1931
If you use the app that I post at second post, and don't delete something that the app says it's important, you also should be fine.
BUT and that's huge one, if you unlock your bootloader(and that's a must if you want root) there is no way (yet, soon but not yet) to make it say "LOCKED" again, it will say RE-LOCKED and you won't have warranty.

[Q] custom gapps with purchased apps

i want to make a custom gapps.zip with purchased apps. its only for my own phone (same google-acount). i dont want to reinstall all apps, it needs to many time.
how can i extract/porting purchased apps from my phone for a custom gapp-zip?
i only know, i can use an original gapp-zip but cant rezip it, have to open it with winrar and drag`n`drop it... right?
i want to do this because i want to be the maintainer of the HTC One X (endearovu) and dont have a second one... not enough money... but next month i buy a second
its NOT for ilegal use!!!
You can make a new one for your system and user apps. If you know anything about using adb you can manually make flashable zips of your apps and read how to use adb from here.
http://varunbpatil.github.io/2013/03/02/apps-zip/
If you want to use an app to automatically do it you can try ZipMe app from the Google Play Store. I don't know how good it is. I use titanium backup most times. Test it on one app first. ZipMe has worked on my phone.
Make a zip of apps or data or apps + data and then copy it to sd card or to a usb storage then you can flash it using a custom recovery or some other way. Titanium Backup Pro can do it but it's the paid version that has the extra things like making zips.
You can make a nandroid backup then use the nandroid manager app to extract apps and data from the nandroid backup.
I would wipe cache and dalvik cache when flashing any zips before restarting or while in recovery before starting

Go to Menu, Batch Actions.
Make a backup of any apps and data you want.
Go to Menu, Batch Actions.
In Recovery spot create an update.zip
Select the apps you want and name the zip.
Don't select exclude system APKs
Check sign with Zip file (with zipsigner)
It goes into sdcard folder then you can flash the file when you want to.

It is courier or haze font.
I can't get it to let me install the courier, and app force closes if i try to install that one. I can't install that font again to see which of the two it is. It is one of those from the app Font Installer root.
thats great ^^ i found the deathnote font!!! thx ^^

The font looks a little different on one deathnote than the tablet ? I use CloudyG3 rom , dorimamx kernel and twrp recovery. I like to switch between different roms and try different ones so i have ways to backup and restore everything to new one.

thats a great thing to switch but i am more PAC rom specific link
jyes if you see the fine deathnote font on a 10" screen with 1280x800 where the fine lines betwen the pixels goes lost and see the font (theoretical... dont works ) on a 720p screen with 4,7" that can show the fine lines...
however it feels stupid to use an tablet with a lower resolution than my phone...

[LP][5.X][XPERIA] Debloating Script For Performance , battery Life and more memory

Hey guys, I sharing debloating script for those interested in a higly DEBLOATED LP installation, very slimmed down, battery friendly, faster, with less RAM comsuption etc
It will remove everything that is not important so before proceding be sure to backup full system
RESULT
As said at the top, you'll get a very slimmed down LP FW, battery friendly, very fast, with less RAM comsuption etc
Of course, everything is working great here, I mean all the features I need/use!
you are going to delete more than 160 packages in total with all relevant libs/stuff plus all applications automatically installed by Sony
HOW TO RESTORE SOMETHING
PS. of course I also removed from my FW all the stuff that can be easily downloaded from the Play Store (Gmail, etc)
below you will find the restoring instructions you need to follow to restore any package you may want back
According to what you want to restore, you have to follow two different procedures:
- all the APKs that are inside /system/__Backup/various/etc_custom_apps and /system/__Backup/various/etc_prod_apps are regular APKs that are going to be installed in /data, so you can just run them and then select "install" like a normal APK, easy. You will then see them in Settings > applications > downloaded
- instead, all the things in /system/__Backup/system_app and /system/
__Backup/system_priv-app folders can't be normally installed, but must be restored in the correct /system folders with correct permissions. To do this, see the step-by-step instructions below (in the following example, I am going to restore Chrome app in /system/app and Velvet (Google Search) in /system/priv-app, but of course you can restore how many things as you want at the same time)
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
- with a root file manager like ES, go to /system/__Backup/system_app and MOVE the whole "Chrome" folder to /system/app
- with a root file manager like ES, go to /system/__Backup/system_priv-app and MOVE the whole "Velvet" folder to /system/priv-app
- reboot
- done
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
PS. don't copy but MOVE things back, or permissions will get messed up and you are likely to end up in a bootloop!
Requirements:
- working recovery
- be on LP already, 5.0.2 or 5.1.1, doesn't matter
DISCLAIMER
If you apply my script again please take care I did a pretty massive debloat as I don't use a lot of stuff (social apps, small apps, many of the sony "addons"/special settings etc!!) and this is a working config for me, but for others some functionalities will be probably missing, so mind what you do before apply them! (but again you can restore anything anytime, if interested just go for it)
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Installation:
1. full nandroid backup to eventually go back to previous any time
2. wipe data, cache and dalvik ***
3. flash debloating script
4. that's all! reboot/enjoy and hit thanks

So as far as any external application goes, it would think this looks like a non custom rom.
There is a popular apk at the moment that denies working because you have a custom rom or if your rooted

Pokémon Go knows if your phone is rooted or a custom rom and won't load.
Do I need to root my phone?
Is all that happens is that things are deleted and not a customisation?
