Hi there,
I need some very basic advice on creating a custom Android ROM.
1. To remove unwanted apps, and possibly include a few of our own (which would appear integrated and cannot be removed)
2. If we were to create our own calendar, media or browser apps, can they override the google ones. So, upon install of susequent apps from the store; if they needed to launch the calendar for example, they would launch our custom app rather than the google version that we would have removed.
Is this a lot of work, very approx idea would be great.
Cheers

Thanks but I am not looking to do this myself, I need someone who has already done, or has experience in the points above. I have a potential (paid) job to deliver a custom ROM and need to find expert advice, and ultimately a team of developers.
Many thanks
*DISCONTINUED*
Google's apps trump Samsung's in my opinion, so I wanted to make a flashable zip to replace (replace, not just add google apps) Samsung's stock apps with Google's.
I am installing these as user apps, not system. If you would prefer them installed as system let me know (I thought you would like to be able to delete the ones you don't want)
Just flash in custom recovery or in flashfire (Mount system in flashfire)
Please post or PM me with problems or app requests!!
Note * I'm not responsible for any damage to your phone, such as bootloops.

Will be working on it soon, I've had problems in the past with uninstalling Samsung's phone, so you might have to just disable that. All the others I should be able to remove no problem

Got it, the incallui is phone v2.1.39.
Edit: You leave the phone apps alone. You actually delete samsung contacts app
Yeah i had trouble using package disabler pro for that
Updated link - Mount system in flashfire... let me know if it works or not
Edit: Updated again (July 20th)
Nice part about these as well... we don't have to rely on Samsung's App store to get themes... all google's apps are substratum friendly.
I have/had a rom out for the LG G4, i basically replaced all LG stock apps with either the Google version or the Sony Xperia version for this very reason... theme-ability without the need for a stock based theme store
Kudos mate!
Have anyone tried it on the S8+ port rom? I don't know if it will crash the system in some point

As long as they didn't change the package names... if they did it shouldn't mess anything up (like a brick/bootloop) it just won't uninstall the Samsung apps.

Manual debloating the OnePlus 6
Hello! I just get my OnePlus 6 with 256 GByte and tried to debloat it a little bit.
I don't use most of the google apps, so I tried to delete it.
As I have deleted a little bit too much here are also the steps to go back to stock.
For the manual debloating I used the app:
System app remover (ROOT)
So before debloating the OP6 must be rooted.
I used this method with success:
[OnePlus 6] Magisk Root on OOS 5.1.5 with SafetyNet checks passed
After the rooting I installed "System app remover (ROOT)" and removed all unwanted system apps.
I rebooted after the removing of every system app and checked if there are side effects.
Here are my findings:
- "Chrome" must NOT be deleted or you aren't able to setup a google account!
If you have accidently removed it (like me) you have to flash the whole OOS 5.1.5 (from this thread:
[OnePlus 6][ROM][OTA][Oxygen OS] Mirrors for official Oxygen OS ROMs and OTA updates
In detail this zip:
5.1.5: OnePlus6Oxygen_22_OTA_009_all_1805172226_4f2de.zip
- Copy the 5.1.5 zip-file on the phone and flash it via:
Code:
Settings - System Updates - Gearwheel in upper right corner - Local upgrade - choose the 5.1.5-rom-zip-file for flashing
- After flashing the 5.1.5 rom and rebooting once you have to enter the stock recovery and make a factory reset:
Code:
Choose language - Wipe data and cache - Reset system setting
- Now you have the original setup and can begin freshly
I am able to delete these system apps without any problems afterwards:
- Drive
- Duo
- Gmail
- Google
- Google Pay
- Google Play Movies & TV
- Google Play Music
- Maps
- NVBackupUI
- OnePlus Account
- Photos
- TelemetryJService
- Youtube
So for now even a little bit of deblaoting as TWRP is not available.
I will complete the list with debloated apps as I have new informations.
EDIT:
# New debloats (with no impact for now):
- OK Google enrollment
- X Google enrollment
- OnePlus Switch (app for copying data from old to a new phone)
I understand removing certain Google apps like Gmail, Play Movies and Play Music as there are other (arguably better) alternatives. But removing "Google" altogether seems extremely silly.

Maybe for you but not for me
I don't use the app or want the "OK Google"-thing. So I remove it. Simple as that. Everyone can choose by themselve what to use.
I don't mind these apps sitting on my phone. Whats the use of 6GB or 8GB RAM then?
Not to discourage you or your method but just going into the app info and disabling it works pretty well too!

not only is freezing apps working and doing the job, it's even the correct and recommended way to proceed because if apps are uninstalled they'd reappear with each rom-flash while freezing apps survives any rom-updates (dirty flashes) in the case of incremental backups it may or may not survive, depending on the content of such updates. certainly major version changes would usually re-install those apps.
this especially applies for people who flash custom rom nightlies, weeklies etc. while not so important for stock roms with OTA updates.
so why did i say it's recommended and the correct way? because everyone should develop routines that always work without issues, including
uninstalling apps that have a negative implact and the hassle to re-flash the entire system instead of simply defrost the app.
and why is that not just personal preference? because people who get into trouble unnecessarily by uninstalling system apps willl clutter the threads and blame rom and kernel devs quite often, not talking about the often stressed and naughty discussions resulting from that.
BTW while one can uninstall "google" on many custom roms and apparently this one, you would regret doing so on a nexus or pixel phone.
why? because it won't fully boot but crash just before the system UI kicks in, in fact in the process of activating apps or however the wording
may be on different roms and devices and API versions.
this is not just in reply to the discussion here, it's for everyone to consider.
Is this a tin foil hat thing or better alternatives

Some of them were running in the background, and they have similar names, so i deleted all of the "test" folders in /system/app, and / priv-app. They are just sensor testing apps, no rela-life function... But i'm curious, what app causes unability to take a screenshot?
It's much easier and safe to freeze the apps with titanium backup.
There is no need to keep Chrome on your system at all (I have been lured here by a similar post, but can't find it any longer). Like that dude @rav101 said before, the only thing you have to do is to update System Webview and you are fine!
That's exactly how I did it and I haven't had a single issue yet.
I maintain an Aroma OxygenOS Debloater for the OnePlus 5 in this thread. Anyone wishing to try that out on the OnePlus 6 running OxygenOS can do so. Here's the latest release post. It should theoretically work for you since OxygenOS's structure is pretty much similar to the one that runs on OnePlus 5/5T.
Do let me know in case there are files that need to be added for user selection in the installer and I'll be happy to download the latest OxygenOS for the OnePlus 6 and go through it to add files specifically present in it which aren't there in the OxygenOS running on older devices that I mentioned.

Google is devil
I'm planning to make stock based rom but my questions are:
- Base: Android 7.0, 7.1, 8.0 or 8.1?
Which one is better in your opinion? I think that 7.1 and 8.0 are the best versions, 7.0 is old and 8.1 just arrived recently and based on some user reviews, it's bad. I would choose 8.0 because of Substratum themes.
Tweaks i would like to add:
- Build.prop tweaks:
1.faster boot
2.less wifi scanning
3.hifi audio props (useful to some audio players that will unlock HiFi settings (eg. PowerAmp), will not improve audio quality)
4.enable launcher and lockscreen rotation
5.disable scrolling cache
6.disable tethering provisioning
7.set DNS to Cloudflare ones
8.disable error reporting
9.enable gpu processing for SystemUI
10. disable headphone volume warning
11. maybe something more
Would you add something more or delete some tweaks?
- More volume steps mod (without Xposed or build.prop, useful for SafetyNet pass)
adds more volume steps to:
media : 30 steps instead of 15
notification : 14 instead of 7
ringer : 14 instead of 7
system : 14 instead of 7
voice call : 12 instead of 6
Is it good to you or you want other values? I make this changes with services.jar so i will need to upload other services which you need to replace if you want other values.
- Advanced reboot menu
Hard to implement but it's possible. I will try to implement fastboot and recovery reboot. If possible i would try to implement META mode too.
- Adding MiraVision to Settings
You can add MiraVision by installing Quickshortcutmaker but i thought why not implement it in Settings directly.
- Odexed ROM
It will improve apps speed and loading but i think that Nokia ROMs are odexed by default.
- Remove signature verification
This is useful when you install unsigned apks or installing older version of apps over new one. If you don't know what is this than don't use it because it weaks your device security. This will be optional.
- Debloating apps
This is a must, i thought that i could debloat some apps from /system/app and /system/priv-app
/system/app
Chrome
Duo
PinyinIME
ZhuyinIME
HindiIME
HandwritingIME
Keep
YouTube (i would replace it for Vanced YouTube)
Photos (Google Photos)
Videos (Google Play Videos)
Books (Google Play Books)
Music (Google Play Music)
Drive (Google Drive)
DM Policy (Google Apps Device Policy)
/system/priv-app
Velvet (Google) (If i remove Google than Assistant wouldn't work, but you can install Google afterwards, i think it's better to be removed because of users who don't use Google Assistant)
Tell me what you think
- Magisk, SuperSU and no root option
There will be 3 options to choose. If Magisk or SuperSU version is old then choose no root and flash new Magisk or SuperSU afterwards. I don't want to update zip everytime Magisk or SuperSU get a new release.
I thought making Aroma zip so you can choose every option you want graphically. It would be hard to implement but I'll work on it.
I know that i screwed the suprise but i want to see what users think about it.
My brother currently use Nokia 3 and when he gets a new phone (in 7-10 days) he will give it to me and then i can work on it.
If someone want to work with me comment.

Sounds pretty good to me so far.
I'm afraid to ask, but I would love to have a choice prior to installing if want it with or without Google. Maybe if it could work without Google and a user could flash GApps manually.
Else: I would love to have to chance to set DNS myself to preferred DNS-provider, but don't know how hard this would be to implement.

No need to afraid, I'd love to but problem is that Nokia ROM uses almost every Google app, Phone, Contacts, Messaging, Clock etc. And if i remove them phone couldn't send and receive messages and calls. I could try to remove only google play store, services, and google basic apps but not to remove Phone, Contacts, Messaging, Clock.
I can try to port other dialer, messages and clock app from ex. Sony but there is high chance that it will crash.
I included Cloudflare DNS because it's the fastest DNS currently (keweonDNS have a huge potential to be that in future). It's easy to remove and i will remove it so you can choose which one you want to use.

well i thought of removing them all so you can install them by yourself, just keep google play store, google services and google sync apps. I maybe can include sony xperia keyboard as well, it uses less ram memory than gboard.

Greetings,
Since the begginning I use all my android device without google. I know that this phone is new, not so many rom out there, I can't wait to have one, where we can flash gapps separate.
But til that, I deciced to delete all google staff manually (except for gboard, as I can't find any decent keyboard).
I'm not sure, but I guess for this decision I have some issues. All the apps with a built in browser force close or don't react if I wanna use its browser. Some other apps won't even start. (Not even says any "missing google play services msg")
My question is, how can I make sure what cause the problem, plus how I need to do properly to skip google?
I deleted gapps with titanium backup.
I have also an ancient galaxy s4 on lineage, only rom, there these things work like a charm. (With its limited speed )
Or do u think there's gonna be option soon to do only rom for the phone?
Plus if u have the same "googless" system on any device, please share with me how u do with google pendent apps, which play store alternative u use etc..
Thanks

Might be the webview, it defaults to chrome. look into developers option/ webview implementation and ensure its set to Android System instead of Chrome. That may solve part of the problem

Yes, that was my first guess as well, but as i deleted google, the only option is the android system, so nothing to do there, its set on that. Also checked on the s4, just by curiosity, it has exactly the same version, therefore this part should be fine.

Perhaps you want to look also into the tomato debloater thread. They have some tested scripts to remove google apps
Yeah that could be an idea, at some point that will be the next step.
I looked for this tomato db, it also gets closer to my idea, but til i don't find out the thing u mentioned, i'm not sure about it, as it's not 100% google free. Though sure i'll do the invisible option.
Plus there r some things in the extreme, that i'm okay with, like ambient screen for example. My dream is to have fully optimised and stable rom, that use all the benefits, what this exact device can offer, + tweak options, but obviously without all the trash, + without gapps. Y they don't just let us choose if we want netflix for example?
Apart from this, i really don't get, y stock roms don't give basic option, like disable pop up notifications. Such a little option, but so useful.
I wish i knew how long it takes to make these clean roms, but in case if not soon, i'll go for this options what u wrote, thank u
Is there any way to have push notification?
(And i know it's nothing to do with google, but also if you know how to disable popups, please share with me as well)

Greetings,
Since the begginning I use all my android device without google. I know that this phone is new, not so many rom out there, I can't wait to have one, where we can flash gapps separate.
But til that, I deciced to delete all google staff manually (except for gboard, as I can't find any decent keyboard).
I'm not sure, but I guess for this decision I have some issues. All the apps with a built in browser force close or don't react if I wanna use its browser. Some other apps won't even start. (Not even says any "missing google play services msg")
My question is, how can I make sure what cause the problem, plus how I need to do properly to skip google?
I deleted gapps with titanium backup.
I have also an ancient galaxy s4 on lineage, only rom, there these things work like a charm. (With its limited speed )
Or do u think there's gonna be option soon to do only rom for the phone?
Plus if u have the same "googless" system on any device, please share with me how u do with google pendent apps, which play store alternative u use etc..
Thanks

I havent had chrome, ok google, google, and all google related stuff for years. I have deleted them with titanium backup always, even on my op 7 pro. I only have playstore and use brave instead of chrome. No issues so far

I did the same, but includeing paly services, framework.., all. I use apkpure store, now i even managed the the system webview to work. Not the one built in, that did't work, no matter what i did. From magisk i found something systemless webview, that does the job.
The only thing i miss is the push notification. (And block popup). Im shocked that no solution so far, that's y we like android. But with some things they look to move on the way of ios.

Edit
