So it seems like this thread has been helping people, in conjunction with the other threads on the different aspects of this subject. I don't deal with freezing apps, it always seemed cleaner to me to just get rid of them.

I know in some cases that's not possible, maybe for us maybe not. I've sure learned a lot from this project, and from what people have discovered by freezing apps.

I want to take a moment to

thank everyone

who has contributed towards what we've learned here.

I took the time to really work out what has to be done to remove the various things we discovered, and the next few posts reflect the contributions everyone has made to this project.

Also, i'm hoping that this road map we are making will cut the time down it takes for developers to introduce roms for our device. Having the locations, and user test data of what you can dump should take some of their headache away. This is one of the motivations behind my trying to lay this all out like this, making it easier not only for us to use now, but for developers to refer to later.

Enjoy, i've had fun with it so far!

Okay, we're finished with Absolute System for the time being.

Load up Root Explorer again, and head to:

01 -

/system/app/ (Delete Files: )

-AppSharing.odex

-com.htc.Sync3DWidget.odex

-htcbookmarkwidget3d.odex

-HtcPhotoGridWidget3D.odex

-HtcPhotoWidget.odex

-HtcSetupWidget.odex

-HTCSetupWizard.odex

And that wraps up another round of house cleaning.

02 - Exit Root Explorer, Reboot your phone to recovery. In CWM choose advanced and then "Wipe Dalvik Cache". Hit back and then "Wipe Cache Partition". Reboot your phone. (It will take a little while longer to boot since you wiped your cache, but not much)

After booting back up and making sure everything still works:

03 - Reboot into recovery, make a CWM Nandroid backup of your system. Make sure to back this up somewhere off the phone too.

Also, I made a thread Here starting the discussion about what apps people like to have on their phones.

I figure if we're gonna talk about replacing stock apps with better ones, let's not dilute this thread and it's progress by talking about it here.

Bounce over to that one and speak your mind about what you like, and keep this one focused on how and what we can remove.

Thanks!

T-Mobile Device Carbon?

I was just wondering what the "T-Mobile Device Carbon" app actually does. It's listed as safe to remove in this thread and so I did thinking it was for the "My Device" app but it's not.

A quick google search returns a bunch of sites that say the App is no longer available and all picutures and references to it have been removed as well so now I'm really curious. What did I just remove?

Having it removed did not cause any problems for me.

Anyway, I restored it using Titanum Backup until I know what that one is.

Thanks for putting this together Blue6IX. Do you have any idea how to get rid of the pink icons and revert to the default ones?
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] Blue6IX:
I am not sure how you would go about re-skinning the icons...unless you swapped out for a different launcher that supported changing app icons.

GO launcher let's you change icons through themes, but that's like using a sword when you need a scalpel.

GO also supports hiding icons in your app drawer...but I don't think that option is what you are looking for.

Wish I had something better to suggest.

[Xperia Arc General] Private-Cowboy:
Hi,

i rooted my Neo lately (based on 2.3.2 Gingerbreak and OTA to latest 368) and removed the junk (facebook related stuff, the golf game etc). All works well and the device works nice and smooth.

One strange thing I noticed is the ringtone and notification sound selection. I also removed quite a few ringtones I don't like and only kept 10 sound each for ringtones, notification and alarm. The system partition has more space free too so those ogg files are really gone. The funny thing is that the selection list now has every sound 2 or 3 times (and not once each) and even those that were removed are still there and playing. And that is AFTER a full wipe.

Any idea where they are coming from? I mean its working well and once set up I really don't bother how that list looks. But it quite funny that the device still sees and plays sounds that were completely removed from those directories.

Or does the system notice the backup directories of the same name on the sd card?
[Xperia Arc General] Okluzhion:
Have you tried to reboot your phone and see if the ringtones and notification sounds are still there? Because when I add/remove those things, I have to reboot my Arc to see the changes.
[Xperia Arc General] Private-Cowboy:
The device is actually seeing the backup folders on the SD card. After I zipped those an deleted the ogg files on the card, they were gone in the list too after a reboot. So as long as you have folders like 'ringtone' oder 'notification' on the card, the ogg files in there will be in the list too.

[Defy General] Nightstalker1993:
Hey guys, i have a Defy and have been running CM7 for quite some time now. I just noticed today that my Auto-brightness suddenly decided to not work from this morning onwards. When i engage auto-brightness, its stuck at the lowest brightness for some reason and the buttons refuses to light up. The light sensor is working as tested in z-devicetest and also i tried flashing to the MIUI rom but i'm not used to it and for some reason my Messaging app keeps fc after i restored my 6000+ sms backup :confused:

so guys, any idea how to solve it? auto brightness is one of the most important feature of the phone to me as i always transition between bright and dark places quite often.

Thnaks guys!

This is another of the projects I have done that was restricted to the Thunderbolt forum, but is actually compatible with quite a few devices, if not all. Some features only work for the Thunderbolt, but the script and application verify compatibility themselves.

I do not place any restriction on use of the script, components, or functions. All I ask is that the script is not used in the development of similar applications. Whether or not I am credited is at the discretion of the developer and their personal moral obligations. While this project does not include any GPL code, the theory is still relevant:

Full Explanation / FAQs

Original Thunderbolt Thread

ScriptFusion AutoBot

Available on Twisted Sandbox and Android Market

This application will install the script, and if purchased from market, or unlocked with the Twisted Sanbox Shovel, it will also provide an online database of tweaks and scripts that can be run, or linked together and run, from directly inside the application.

DOWNLOADS:

AUTOUPDATE - Once the full package is installed, it will update itself (if needed) whenever it is launched. The only time the script alone needs to be reinstalled is when a new ROM is installed.

Busybox Binaries

http://twisted.dyndns.tv/BusyboxBin/

Right click / long click - Save as / save link

Script ONLY

Live script install

http://db.tt/u2gCqNO

Open terminal

su
bash /sdcard/location of script/speedtweak.sh fusion

This is the live equivalent of flashing ScriptFusion in recovery and would be considered a full install.

Once fully installed

Open terminal

su
speedtweak.sh

Live script removal

Open terminal

su
speedtweak.sh guilty

This is the live equivalent of flashing Guilty Verdict in recovery and would be considered a full removal.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] twistedumbrella:
Just a quick breakdown for anyone asking "What about 98kickasskernel? Or "what about juwe RAM optimization?" "Don't they do the same thing?" In theory, sure... For RAM and sysctl values. Ever wonder why there are two versions of the 98kernel script to prevent bootloops? That is one key difference. This system doesn't just throw values at your device, or follow an "if you bootloop" methodology. Sure some things may cause loops because there is no reliable check (See odex/dalvikvm), but nothing is just hard-coded.

Another big difference is that those scripts cannot change screen density, tweak the CPU, change the scheduler, profile frequencies, and fix broken WiFi all in one run.

Complete means complete, simple as that. Customization means user determined customization, not what one developer recommends. Recommendations will help through the process, but they remain exactly that. There are no rules. Have some fun...

Hi. Thanks for sharing.

I first read, re-read the OP and decided to download and try the trial app from the market: https://market.android.com/details?id=com.twisted.zero&feature=search_result. But the app just crashes every time when i try to launch(it gives the error: Data and sdcard required!). I am on custom ROM Froyo 2.2.2 with apps on ext2 using data2sd(both apps were on phone memory).

Then i re-re-read the OP and decided to try the script way first via Script Manager and then(if not lucky) via terminal. I had no luck with Script Manager(runing root mode). The script dont install and gives the errors:

wget: bad address '64.121.156.138:8080'

wget: can't connect to remote host (64.121.156.138:8080)

Unnable to chmod /system/xbin/wget: No such file

Invalid binaries. Please retry.

Edit: Checking the filesystem i see that at least one thing the script/app have done. Has deleted all my previous scripts on /system/etc/init.d and now there are 3 new files: 00twist_override, 01vdd_levels and 02sched_choice. Same files are now on /etc/init.d.

Same error with terminal emulator. Maybe i am very dumb and i miss something. What i am doing wrong?

Thanks in advance!
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] twistedumbrella:
Your previous scripts are safe. They will be in data/data/scriptfusion if install didn't complete (in which case you may want to move them so a new install doesn't overwrite them) or in SDcard/ScriptFusion/backup

Alright, so a couple things happened all at once that caused your error, but to keep it simple... My server takes on the traffic of a corporate sized one packed into two computers. Occasionally I have to reboot. Your download happened during the 15 minutes or so it went down. Give it another try and let me know if it doesn't fix itself.

Alright, let me look into something that might avoid having to update busybox
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] twistedumbrella:
Alright, with all the recent edits, it should work to get a system with busybox 1.6.1 and up updated and running. A lot of other scripts stay at 1.6.2, but this uses 1.9 much like newer ROMs. I plan to drop back busybox, see if all the commands work, and make that part optional, but a lot of ROMs use truncated versions, so I am still working out a failsafe.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] twistedumbrella:
Can I have a few people do the following command and post the output? Getting a baseline for a new verify

busybox | busybox head -n 1 | busybox awk '{ print $2 }'
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] twistedumbrella:
Removed the necessity of having certain versions of busybox, but with that it is fair warning that ROMs with truncated versions will not work.

Changed up the tweak menu option to be a little easier understood. While the +/- were fully explained, on smaller text sizes they were impossible to differentiate.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] ercDROID:
Removed. All good now.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] ercDROID:
I got it up and running. I have a few questions. I purchased the autobot off one of the links you provided. I got working. I made a slight yet big mistake. I was looking through the speedtweak menu and somehow changed the voltages on something by mistake. I couldn't read what was on the bottom of the terminal emulator and screwed something up good. After that, the phone was really crawling and scriptfusion wouldnt open up. I just restored my old backup and then reinstalled my new rom. I got scriptfusion back on my phone but is there supposed to be an app that takes you directly into scriptfusion? I know I can get there from the terminal emulator but i was able to click on an app before to get in. Now if I click on it, it just force closes. Second question is, if I am going to be playing around with a kernel, is it best to just back it up first before I modify? I'm on gingeritis 3D that has Ziggy's latest baked in. It would be nice if I screwed something up that I could just reflash the kernel but he doesn't have the kernel by itself floating around. It seems like the backup and restore worked. I backed it up, played around a bit and tested my results then I restored and it seemed to take the kernel back to its normal state. Is this the way I should do it? Also, can you backup more than one file at a time?
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] ercDROID:
I also don't know what happened to my min/max frequencies. I now only have :

1) 192000

2) 245760

3) 368640

4) 768000

5) 806400

6) 883200

7) 960000

8) 1036800

This is all I have available. I had more before I had to reflash my rom. I'm sure its my fault. How can I get the other options back? I also have enabled swap and I can see if on there but it is not being used.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] twistedumbrella:
From everything you said, it sounds like the restore may have given you a different kernel. The kernel frequencies are read right from system. The force close should fix itself by clearing data for the app and letting it reinstall the script. You don't necessarily need to back up anything if you are near a computer because the kernel itself is never actually edited. Restore is as easy as using adb to remove /system/init.e/00twist_override Editing on the go, a recent backup of system only will revert any changes. If you enabled swap and your getting zeros either you need to reboot or the system hasn't needed the space yet.

FC

Hi - I'm using this on a rooted Asus Transformer with Revolver Mod and Clemsys kernel. I install the app, then open it, make a change or just take a look at the options, close the app. Then I get a FC when I try to re-open the app. The only way around this I can find is to uninstall and reinstall it.

Is there a way round this?
