[SOLVED] Addon.d script doesn't work - Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi, I created an addon.d script called 'deleteapks.sh' into /system/addon.d:
Here is the code:
#!/sbin/sh
#
# /system/addon.d/deleteapks.sh
#
. /tmp/backuptool.functions
list_files() {
cat <priv-app/ViPER4Android_FX_A4.x/V4A.x.apk

EOF
}
case "$1" in

list_files | while read FILE DUMMY; do
backup_file $S/$FILE
done
;;

list_files | while read FILE REPLACEMENT; do
R=""
[ -n "$REPLACEMENT" ] && R="$S/$REPLACEMENT"
[ -f "$C/$S/$FILE" ] && restore_file $S/$FILE $R

What I'd like to do:
1. Backup/Restore Viper4Android.apk and gps.conf to survive a dirty flash.
2. Delete all listed system apps after a dirty flash
I kept the same structure as a bloatware removal script and this script.
deleteapks.sh is stored into /system/addon.d with 755 permissions. I didn't wipe the /system partition before flashing the rom update and the script has not been removed.
However Viper4Android and gps.cong files didn't survive and the listed system apps weren't removed.
What's wrong with my script?
Note: I could do these modifications through a flashable zip (see below) but the aim to reduce the number of zips I have to flash.
This is the updater-script I use after a clean flash:
ui_print("+-------------------------------------+");
ui_print("| bloatware removal script |");
ui_print("| |");
ui_print("| !!!BYE BYE!!! |");
ui_print("+-------------------------------------+");
run_program("/sbin/busybox", "umount", "/system");
run_program("/sbin/busybox", "mount", "/system");
ui_print(" ");
ui_print("***Deleting bloatwares***");

Why not just get jrummys app and go to apps and take them out in one go and Reboot as I've done with the 5.1.1 update? You can be fkexible or take more out, I took keyboard and launcher etc as I use nova and swiftkey

I don't want to install a new app. If needed I will flash my custom updater-script for each dirty flash.

Does this script work with your rom? Could be a situation where none of your scripts are running.

If you want a quick way to do this you could download my zip from the ViperOP and just edit out the apps you want removed/restored from the updater-script and addon.sh.

idk. I'll try the 'Bloatware Removal Script' for the next dirty flash.

If your script saves V4A and allows apps to survice a dirty flash then I'll take a look after testing the above script.

Actually your script seems to have the same structure as mine.
Finally I reduced the number of lines by removing apps and using rm -rf command and I manually typed the lines for V4A + gps.conf and the removed folders.
Maybe this problem was caused by some extra spaces...
Here is the working script for information:

[NOT FOR NOOBS] Bloatware removal - Hardcore mode! (use at your own risk)

Since I was asked to release the remove bloatware script (hardcore mode) from the now more or less obsolete kn0x0ut toolbox, here it goes.
This baby removes like 99,9% of bloatware you can think of, including most google stuff (only Google Account, Google Services Framework, and Play store remain, thats all you need to download apps), all the "test" apps and otherwise useless stuff in my eyes.
Only run this if you know what you are doin and know how to reinstall the stuff incase something gets deleted that you want to use.
Make a nandroid backup before too or something, and report if something important is not working after running. (was created for ML2 rom, dunno if it works with Kitkat)
Calling, GPS, Wifi, etc. should all be still working. (but NetworkLocation gets deleted, this will stop the phone sending location data to google afaik, but GPS-aware apps still work. Just install it back if you want to be tracked errr I mean if you want apps to get your location by network data from google.
WTF cant upload sh, so put this into a sh script and run it:

If it was created for 4.3 I doubt very much it will work on KitKat. I tried the other user script lying around the forum these days and too much names and locations have been changed (mainly of samsung stuff)

Try Echoe's debloater. Haven't tested it myself.

Hey,
The script is not working here (mj7, run as admin). rm failed ...... Is there anything special to run this script?
Thanks

Can't help with this but if you dont get it working, i made a flashable zip from this script (the hardcore version). I wont post it because its not my work but i could send you a link if you are interested. All credits to zr0ice.

In the meantime, just send me pm if somebody wants it instead of spamming this thread(no offence).
All of you that already requested the zip will get the link later this day.
But please confirm if it worked for you because i dont want to send out s#*t that doesnt work.

i left zroice a msg, asking for his permission to post it here.
i cleaned up the script because i relized that i put some additional files and folders in. nothing of importance, few sound files and so on.

wasnt online for a few days. Go ahead and post a link to your zip-version if you want. I don't mind it.
Ill take a look what you added to the list =)
By the way for those that failed to run it in terminal / over adb.. did you remount system and run it as root before you did?

ok.
here is the flashable zip made from the debloater script from the 1st post.
nothing was added or removed.
@zroice for the additonal files, i will take a look tomorrow and post it.

FOR WHO? AND WHY?
• Everyone who wants to learn something today
• Do something yourself instead of relying on a 3rd party app/system.
• Remove/Add system apps
• Modify DPI
• Backup/Restore apps to survive a dirty flash
• Apply a custom font
• Apply a custom bootanimation
• Install a new ringtone
• and so on.
Basically removing/adding system stuff can be easily done through a file manager but it takes time and we have to do it whenever we update a custom ROM.
A couple of examples:
1. Customizing GApps packages: if you don't use all apps that are provided then you can simply remove them
2. Viper4Android: V4A is an awesome audio app and it's highly recommended to remove other audio apps/tweaks like AudioFX.

We will see how to add and remove system components. Once again, it can be done manually but your phone has to be booted into Android then it needs a reboot to apply the changes.
The last part is for the addon.d script. Your custom system changes will survive a dirty flash. No need to flash a zip file for each update
WHAT DO YOU NEED?
1. A good file manager: MiXplorer, Solid Explorer, ES File Explorer (jk )...
2. ZipSigner to sign your zip (or MiX Signer if you use MiXplorer // add-on available in the XDA thread)
3. A nandroid backup is recommended before using those scripts
4. Prepare your custom files: apk, gps.conf, ringtone, bootanimation,... Everything you want to add after a clean flash.
5. Free time. No young children around you
TEMPLATE AND MY CUSTOM ZIP
I'm a nice guy so I prepared a template. You can either download my own zip and customize it to your needs or use this template as a base to create your own zip "from scratch".
→ TEMPLATE: DOWNLOAD LINK (basic commands / you have to add your custom values: apps, paths of ringtones, bootanimation...)
→ MY ZIP: DOWNLOAD LINK (examples are always welcome to better understand an explanation. It can help to understand how to structure your files).
The template should be enough to start using a custom script.
SOME INFORMATIONS TO REMEMBER
Here are the paths of the main things we want to change in the /system partition (should work for most recent Android versions but check your system to be sure):
• addon.d => backup script to survive a dirty flash (used by GApps package for instance)
• app and priv-app => system apps to add or remove
• etc => host file
• fonts => your font
• media => your bootanimation.zip
• media > audio > alarms => sounds for alarms
• media > audio > notifications => sounds for notifications
• media > audio > ringtones => sounds for ringtones
• media > audio > ui => sounds for various things such as low battery, unlock, camera,..
• root of /system for build.prop file

Click to collapse
Files that have been removed will be installed again after a dirty flash.
Files that have been manually added will be removed after a dirty flash.
=> That's why we need a script to backup our modifications!

CREATE YOUR FLASHABLE ZIP
The steps below are done with MiXplorer file manager.
1. Select all your folders and select Archive.
2. Confirm the creation of the archive file.
View attachment 4182479
3. Enter the name of your file and select Store.
4. Your flashable zip has been created.
5. Select your zip file then Sign.
6. Select TESTKEY.
7. Your final flashable zip is created (xxx-signed.zip). This is the file you will flash from your custom recovery. You can safely remove the first zip file.
NOTES:
• your flashable zip has to be installed after a clean flash (or after wiping /system partition and making a dirty flash of your ROM custom). The updater-script will immediately remove/add the desired apps/folders. Leave your addon.d script alone. It will do its job without any user intervention.
Check your /system partition after the first installations to be sure that everything is working as expected.
• if you have something better to share or tips then let us know.
• all credits go to the people who shared their findings with the community. I picked up various information so this is more a general guide to create a custom updater-script and addon.d script.
• I recommend to keep an eye on the template or my zip when reading this guide.
• Ref: [TUTORIAL] The updater-script completely explained

HOW TO EDIT YOUR BUILD.PROP
If you want to modify your build.prop or add new lines then follow those steps.
1. Create a new .sh file (e.g build_prop.sh)
2. To modify specific lines:
sed -i 's/original_value/new_value/g' /system/build.prop;
Example for LCD Density (from 480 to 420):
sed -i 's/ro.sf.lcd_density=480/ro.sf.lcd_density=420/g' /system/build.prop;
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
3. To add new lines:
echo "your_value" >> /system/build.prop;
Example for Viper4Android (if you don't have those lines):
echo "IPA.decode=false" >> /system/build.prop;
echo "tunnel.decode=false" >> /system/build.prop;
echo "lpa.use-stagefright=false" >> /system/build.prop;
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
4. In your build_prop.sh file copy this
Code:
#!/sbin/sh
Then add your sed and echo lines
Example:
#!/sbin/sh
sed -i 's/ro.sf.lcd_density=480/ro.sf.lcd_density=420/g' /system/build.prop;
echo "IPA.decode=false" >> /system/build.prop;
echo "tunnel.decode=false" >> /system/build.prop;
echo "lpa.use-stagefright=false" >> /system/build.prop;
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Copy your script into your flashable zip (system folder). That's it for the .sh script.
5. Now you have to create your updater-script into your flashable zip (see OP if you don't know how to do that).
Here is what you need to put:
Code:
ui_print("+--------BUILD-PROP-EDITION----------+");
run_program("/sbin/busybox", "umount", "/system");
run_program("/sbin/busybox", "mount", "/system");
show_progress(8.800000, 5);
package_extract_dir("system", "/system/");
ui_print("***Fixing permissions***");
set_perm(0, 0, 0777, "/system/build_prop.sh");
run_program("/sbin/sh", "system/build_prop.sh");
show_progress(8.800000, 5);
delete_recursive(
"/system/build_prop.sh"
);
run_program("/sbin/busybox", "umount", "/system");
ui_print(" ");
ui_print("Completed.");
What does it do? This will extract your build_prop.sh file into /system partition, set the permissions and delete your script.
6. Create your flashable zip and sign it as explained in the previous post.
7. Reboot into TWRP and flash!
I have attached a compressed file as an example.

Thank you! Will try this later

Im so newbie with this kind of stuff, that i have to ask for specific info.
As i told in another topic, i need to keep my /system/app/Calculator/Calculator.apk when im flashing my rom update.
If i understand correctly, it can be done with addon.d script automatically, without flashing any zips?

Exactly. You can only create a .sh file into addon.d folder.
Use the following at the beginning:
Code:
list_files() {
cat <<EOF
app/Calculator/Calculator.apk
EOF
}

i remove some of the addons on your updater script.
because i only want the bloatware removal scripts. Can you check if this is correct.

It should work BUT Launcher3 is stored into /system/app/. Moreover you need a launcher to reach a homescreen. In other words, if you remove Launcher3 after a clean flash then you have to install another launcher.
I forgot to explain how to sign the final zip. I'll add this in the coming hours.

On pure nexus its located on system/priv-app and I have a novalauncher.zip that i will install after flashing. I have a installer.zip here. Can i copy my modified updater-script there?

Of course. Do not forget to remove run_program lines if you already have them in the other file :good:

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.
I've found the file 70-gapps.sh under /system/addon.d
Is that the problem ? I think so ... because the files will be backuped and restored ...

free_tmp_size_kb=$(df -k /tmp | tail -n 1 | awk '{ print $4 }')

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.

So just here...
Pico gapps is replacement for all the bloats. It has all the required apps for the functionality of play store and ither google apps.
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 !!!

Yes certainly I have tried it earlier with LP on stock firmware. It kinda work great.
Thanks pressed will be appreciated if I helped you. ?

[Tool][Universal Debloater][02.03.2017] Brought To You By The Phronesis Team....

The plan was to release this debloating utility in the Phronesis rom thread but it was later decided to have it in it's own dedicated thread so users of our rom don't get confused.
The script is provided as it and it's users responsibility to know what to debloat. The advice is to be careful of files to debloat. If you don't know what a file does, it's better not to remove it. You can Google what each app does if any doubt.
No member of the Know-How Team will be held responsible if you delete what you're not meant to delete. Don't expect your alarm to work if you have removed your clock, don't come crying to us that you missed you appointment because your alarm did not sound when you've debloated your clock. The utility is for people who know what they are doing!
##########################################################################################################
What's this utility for?
1. The very reason for this utility is to make a lean rom from your currently installed rom. Many users prefer to have application they don't use or consider bloat or useless removed from their phone to free up space, boost performance and reduce overhead on the system
2. Can this utility be used for other rom or is it purely for Phronesis Rom Series?
This utility can be used for any rom, any version of Lollipop or Marshmallow. Be it Note, Note 7 S4, S5 etc, can also be use for Tablets. Not tested on Nougat version.
3. How does the utility work?
The working of the utility is very simple, you tell it what you want removed by editing the debloating file and any app corresponding to that entry will be removed. You can only get back deleted files by doing a dirty flash of your rom.
4. How can I customize this utility for my usage?
Different users with different requirements. The script in the zip is based on my own preference, you will need to customize the script for your usage. Flashing the zip as it is will delete apps corresponding to the entries in the shell script which is for my own personal preference.
The attached zip as it is can be flashed to debloat your firmware. It will save about 200MB space in the system memory. But know that files will be deleted according to my preferences. E.g. I have choose to have all the AllShare apps removed which means I won't be able to send or receive files via WIFI Direct.
It's very easy to edit the file for your usage. You will need a file editor, e.g. Notepad++ and file archiver, e.g. 7zip. Follow the steps below to customize the utility for your usage
1. Download the attached debloater utility zip file.
2. Unzip or open archive.
3. Inside the phronesis folder is a file named "debloat.sh". Open this folder with Notepad++
4. Make changes as needed and save. Ensure you do not change the file name or it's extension i.e. the .sh, else the script will fail to debloat your device. See post #2 for the content of the shell script.
5. You can put hash "#" in front of any entry you want to disable. No need to delete the entire line. See example in post 2.
6. Put back the script and copy zip to your phone.
7. Flash as you will normally flash a rom.

Nice tool master

Nice work... Some of the ones I was concerned about are in the list - concerned as in I wasn't sure if I needed them/something would break and hadn't gotten around to testing them.

Nice., Thanks.

Nice - Storage tells me I have 20.2 GB available internal and 1.5GB available RAM.

Is there any app i can use on my phone to edit the file ?
My phone isnt recognized by my laptop so i cant transfer any files from phone to laptop .. and vice versa ..
