Thread has over 10K views in just a few days... Thats the most of any thread that actually adds immediate VALUE to your phone. The rest are S-oFF rants that add no value at all.

Version 1.1 was downloaded over 400 times in 48 hours

OP was thanked 42 times :confused:

Numbers are not adding up here :(

I know a lot of you are new here but keep this in mind please...

We devs dont post our work for anyone but you guys. I had this working on my device and thats the only device I use. I didint have to share this. Coulda let yall suffer in VZW bloat hell but I am not that type of guy :eek: Occasionally we get donations but hitting thanks on the OP should be a no questions asked procedures when you find something usefull.

Oh and to the nice person who donated today.... Thanks a lot! That was very nice of you! You are now starting the fund for my next device! What will it be??? lol (I fund all my devices on donations :p)

Show some love... Hit the Thanks button!

[HTC Rezound] wobedraggled:
I thanked you and I eagerly await the full on kickass remove everything version that is sure to be down the pipeline.
[HTC Rezound] msjohnson2868:
Wow that was easy. Shortly after running this, I got a FC of the Superuser app (com.noshufou.android.su). As I understand it, this is a temp root only, and root will be gone when I reboot anyway, correct? I don't really have need for root at the moment once the bloat is disabled, so is there any reason to try to get the SU app running again?

Thanks again...
[HTC Rezound] xShin:
Sorry to be a noob, but I downloaded the appropriate drivers and now it appears to be working (it says "Killed pm disable...."), but nothing appears to have happened on my phone. I tried rebooting several times, and still nothing appears to have happened, so I'm kind of confused right now lol. Sorry for bothering you guys so much :/
[HTC Rezound] civicsisedan:
Anybody know how to install the HTC USB Sync Drivers for a MAC????

On a MAC now and went to the HTC Support page and its only for PC...
[HTC Rezound] Scott:
Indeed! Thank you!

As far as SU running for a while... Well, maybe if you wanted to do something like wireless thether but... Only so much can be done without S-OFF :(
[HTC Rezound] msjohnson2868:
Well, it just so happens that I installed an app from the Market just a few minutes after running the tool, and SU force closed, and then the phone rebooted itself. But no bloat! Cool.

:p
[HTC Rezound] crupp:
I had the same thing happen. Run script again and SU should go away...did for me anyway
[HTC Rezound] reverepats:
Yeah yur right. I got SU FCs after the first time i ran the script. Second time the FCs went away and root stuck. Is run it a second time...definately
[HTC Rezound] MrSmith317:
You shouldn't need them since you can get ADB to run in command prompt(Linux).
[HTC Rezound] civicsisedan:
Phone isn't recognized by Mac though
[HTC Rezound] Scott:
Arggghhhh! lol

Should or shouldnt?

Sorry bro, I cant help you there. No Mac :(
[HTC Rezound] rellomar:
Worked perfect, 1st try. Thanks for sharing scrosler!

Would you happen to have parallels installed? I own a mac but I just booted up windows 7 on my parallels and the cleantool worked on the first try.
[HTC Rezound] Scott:
Your welcome!
[HTC Rezound] lllboredlll:
All the OEM roms from vzw that I have come across have the iso. I just deleted it from every Rom I ever built.
[HTC Rezound] MrSmith317:
Now I don't have a MAC either but my primary laptop is Linux(Ubuntu). If you can get the Android SDK installed and your phone charges via USB, then you should be able to run this script. If all else fails. Take the script on a USB drive to best buy plug your phone in, install the HTC drivers and off you go ;)

Edit: Crap, I just realized I confused you and another Mac guy I was helping out....ill effects of not sleeping and being on a few too many boards.

Try this to get ADB running: http://esausilva.com/2010/10/02/how-to-set-up-adb-android-debug-bridge-in-mac-osx/
[HTC Rezound] zeroxg4:
Does anyone know what process is responsible for SMS previews on the lock screen? I must have disabled it +it doesn't show up anymore) but can't seem to find which one to enable.
[HTC Rezound] MrSmith317:
Which packages did you disable? I think that's just part of sense.
[HTC Rezound] Cares:
When you are removing Facebook...is this the standard Facebook app or does it also include "Faceook for HTC Sense"???
[HTC Rezound] Scott:
Yeah, but there has to be a system service and or apk that is responsible for mounting it to the PC. I want to find that and destroy it!

We cant delete it yet because of no S-OFF so I am guessing it can be disabled somehow.

Any thoughts on what mounts it?
[HTC Rezound] lllboredlll:
VZWInstaller.apk? Don't quote me on the exact spelling
[HTC Rezound] MrSmith317:
That's the sense facebook app. The apk is in /system/app. The real facebook app(from the market) is stored in /data/app
[HTC Rezound] Scott:
Very cool thanks man. I will start looking at that tonight. Thats gotta go!
[HTC Rezound] 1337beef:
First post just so I can say thanks!

The Rezound is my first Android device (switching from an iPhone 3gs) so I was expecting to have some issues, but the process went smoothly and easily.

Great work.
[HTC Rezound] reverepats:
Welcome to the Wonderful World of Android. Stick around cause things are just getting started. Just don't forget to hit that "Thanks" Button for Scott. He put a load of work into this for us ;)
[HTC Rezound] 1337beef:
Already done! The other reason I wanted to post was so I could get access to the thanks button haha
[HTC Rezound] Scott:
Good deal man!

Indeed they are! We got some skilled people about to work on this device. I havent been this excited since... Ummm. Well, Im excited! lol
[HTC Rezound] splatoid:
Well Ive tried this four times with no luck.

Runs great goes through all the steps without error but no luck I go to app drawer and its all still there. I'm quite sure I'm not getting temp root.

I tried to get titanium to run but no root access. I have read every post in this forum and tried the tips you gave other people but no luck yet. I have rebooted without fast boot enabled debugging on allow unknown apps unmounted SD card. Rebooted and ran script. Thanks for this I will get it to work I'm sure...\

OK maybe I'm not understanding how this is supposed to look. The apps mentioned are grayed out and show 0 memory so I take it that it did work.

So if in fact I have temp root can I still not use any of the root programs with temp root?
[HTC Rezound] Scott:
Can you run the script and post a screenshot? From there we should be able to figure out what is not working for you.
[HTC Rezound] civicsisedan:
Anyway to get rid of the Verizon video update when you goto market?

Also did anyone have vcast videos show back up? Mine reappeared...
[HTC Rezound] MrSmith317:
All the apps you disable are still installed and will update. You should update and refreeze/disable if necessary.

[HTC Rezound] Berzerker7:
I'm just confused as to why you consider the social services bloat. I understand not everyone uses them, but I most certainly do.
[HTC Rezound] cheami:
How do you hard reset to enable all the apps back on (I plan to exchange for Nexus once it comes out)?
[HTC Rezound] reverepats:
You can boot into Hboot and factory reset from there...pull the battery and hold Volume+Down & Power Button. I think u can factory reset from the SD & Storage in settings. But I'm not positive on that. But boot into Hboot and that's the easier way I think
[HTC Rezound] cheami:
What do you mean pull the battery? I just tried to hold down power + volume down while both on and off, and it did nothing.
[HTC Rezound] splatoid:
Thanks for reply.

I dont have the screen shot yet but the only thing I see that may be wrong is the apps that need to be removed have a Disabled at end of line.Is that wrong.

I have to run out the door so I will check back.

Thanks
[HTC Rezound] Scott:
Yeah, Pretty much!

Thanks!

Let me clear up that confusion for you... I will explain...

I don't use them. Its bloat to me.

Hope that clarifies it for you :D

Its easier to just go to settings -> Storage -> Reset...

Thanks

-Scott
[HTC Rezound] cheami:
Worked for me perfectly! Thanks a lot for this. I forgot to delete the disabling of My Verizon app, which I use to check my data usage. What is the safest way to turn it back on?

Also, I have Mobile Hotspot, Mobile IM, and Voice Mail still installed from Verizon. Is there a way to disable those?
[HTC Rezound] pwned3:
Just wanted to say thanks for the script. Worked flawlessly. I'm a flashaholic. I've been going into withdrawals... This gave me something to play with for a bit.

sent from my new Rezound
[HTC Rezound] MrSmith317:
To enable any app that was disabled, change the "disable" in the script to "enable" and re-run the script.

Check in the thread for a full list of apps, if you search my posts you'll find a CSV of all the apks, package names, and common names.
[HTC Rezound] splatoid:
Her ya go Thanks for taking your time to look at this...
[HTC Rezound] MrSmith317:
@splatoid. Looks like it worked just fine.

Sent from my HTC Rezound via the XDA app
[HTC Rezound] splatoid:
Cool I thought maybe it did but wasn't sure. So you cant really use root type programs with this temp root huh?

Like Titanium and such?

Thanks for the reply....
[HTC Rezound] MrSmith317:
I did but it seems to work for some and not others. Try Better Temp Root from the thread next door. People are having good luck with that holding root longer etc.. The CleanTOOL script was really meant for freezing/disabling apps more than anything.
[HTC Rezound] Scott:
Agreed x2!

Thanks,

-Scott
[HTC Rezound] MrSmith317:
Just wanted to drop this for anyone that is on a Mac or Linux. Don't want you guys to be left out of the party as well. This is CleanTOOL 1.1 plus a ported BASH script and adb from the Linux Android SDK. This should work on both as long as you have the Android SDK installed. Post questions in the thread or PM me.
[HTC Rezound] Scott:
Thanks for sharing. I linked your post in the OP!
[HTC Rezound] reniur:
Ran the CleanTOOL 1.1 yesterday and it worked flawlessly. Thank you very much...I was freaking out about all of the blaotware.

I was getting the 'sever out of date messages' at first, but got through after getting the HTC driver from their website, rebooting devices, and using charge only mode.

Only thing I've seen that I don't like...VZ Media manager tried to update last night. In notifications it failed once and succeeded once. Not sure if this was supposed to be frozen.

Correction: I did also have to copy the ADB*.* files to my local HTC program files folder.
[HTC Rezound] brando56894:
I was thinking about doing this also, but I'm too lazy. Thanks!
[HTC Rezound] Scott:
When you say update do you mean like... Market Update or update the media files?
[HTC Rezound] reniur:
Update was a bad word to use there. It was trying to backup V CAST Media Manager music/pictures/videos through Accounts & Sync in Settings.

I unchecked music/pictures/videos so hopefully it doesn't change back.
[HTC Rezound] MrSmith317:
:confused: You mean someone actually uses that thing????

/sarcasm
[HTC Rezound] couchmonkey:
so i'm trying to do this ( fastboot is off, USB debugging is on and it's on charge only) and keep on getting these errors:
[HTC Rezound] NilsP:
It looks like the files sub folder might be missing and it is running off the adb you have installed in the system

First extract the tool again to make sure it is all there then try again
[HTC Rezound] MrSmith317:
Sometimes that means HTC sync is on. Check for it in the system tray of your pc.

Sent from my HTC Rezound via the XDA app
[HTC Rezound] Scott:
Yeah, thats what it looks like. Turn off Sync.
[HTC Rezound] Lifetrip718:
Correction needed!

This line in post 2 needs to be corrected:

Original: Friendstream lockscreen: com.htcidlescreen.socialnetwork

Correction: Friendstream lockscreen: com.htc.idlescreen.socialnetwork

Thanks for this tool and have an xda day!
[HTC Rezound] brando56894:
For some reason my Rezound doesn't want to work with ADB in either Linux or Windows. I have fastboot disabled, I have rebooted multiple times, I have HTC Sync disabled, I have debugging enabled, etc...

With the Linux version my device doesn't even show up, when I type sudo adb devices it shows there is a device connected but the serial number is all ????????. I have Windows 7 virtualized via VirtualBox and when I transfer the USB connection to W7 it connects and adb devices shows that it is connected (shows the serial number).

The same problem with ADB happens in both OSes: it seems that the device can't connect to the ADB server. Even though I manually started the ADB server it says that it's not started and then starts it, then says it successfully started on port 5037. In linux it just keeps restarting the server whenever adb is called. In W7 the batch file will either hang or say it completed successfully even though the SU binary isn't on my device.
[HTC Rezound] MrSmith317:
Do you have the Linux Android SDK installed? I've never tried running ADB via a virtual machine so I can't speak to that .
[HTC Rezound] Scott:
Corrected, thank you.

If Windows 7 ina virtual box sees the serial number then tha means it is recoginzing the device and shoudl work. I have not used ADB in VB. But I can try to install it when I get home tonight and test out what you are seeing. But other than that I dont know.

Also, can you post screenshot of Win7 running the script?

-Scott
[HTC Rezound] couchmonkey:
much thanks, that was it!
[HTC Rezound] brando56894:
I have the android-sdk package installed in Linux and here's the screenshot from Windows. I just noticed that it's status says "offline".

I have Windows 7 natively installed but I didn't want to reboot since I was downloading something. I'll try it natively and see if it still happens.
[HTC Rezound] Scott:
Cant use image shack at work. I will check when I get home.

Did you try a battery pull on the phone?
[HTC Rezound] brando56894:
Nope that's one thing I haven't tried yet. I just ran the tool in native W7 and it worked.... sort of. The script detected my phone and completed successfully, but it didn't remove any of my apps even though the script said that they were disabled and su.apk is there but it FCs each time I click on it.

Also the same messages popped up each time ADB was called, I've never had that happen to me before in either W7 or Linux with either my Incredible or my OG Droid.

Here's the installation output
[HTC Rezound] yoitsbry:
?

Is the OP going to be updated with all the applications that are safe to disable?
[HTC Rezound] Scott:
It seems like you keep loosing ADB which can because by HTC Sync being active on the PC. DO you have it and did you disable it?

I have no plans at this time to update the op. Most things are self explanatory. IF you are unsure of what to disable ask and someone can tell you if its safe.
[HTC Rezound] nrfitchett4:
first thanks for this great tool. Was able to remove just about everything I don't use which is great.

Small snag, not sure if its my phone, something I removed or what.

My data on speed tests is really bad, esp on uploads, only getting about 100kbps no matter different wifi's and 4g.

Not saying its related to this, but just curious if anyone else has noticed this. At work now, so can't re-enable everything to revert back. I'll have to wait till tomorrow.

I read that these temp roots jacked with BT, wondering if they are doing data the same way and it will recover eventually.
[HTC Rezound] Scott:
Hmmm... Unless something you disabled is for 4G then its hard to say. I used just the script I wrote and have great 4G. No issues.
[HTC Rezound] nrfitchett4:
ok, thanks. Don't think its related. Verizon is having 4g issues here in san antonio, both my rezound and thunderbolt are bouncing between 3g and 4g. Just weird that using 2 different wifi's and 4g, the uploads were very consistently about 100kbps.

Thanks again for the tool. Editing the bat file takes me back to my winmo days, editing mortscripts to install apps, create/ move shortcuts, etc.

Would definitely give your roms a go. Have to use sense roms to have nfl app working, and aosp on the tbolt always had something wonky like gps. Since I debloated today, my phone seems to run quite a bit smoother.
[HTC Rezound] MrSmith317:
Just found out Verizon is having issues all up and down the East Coast too. Certainly doesn't help when you make a change then magically you don't have 4G anymore. But this one is on Verizon.
[HTC Rezound] Kane5581:
Thats exactly what happened to me, 4g was fine, ran clean tool, reboot, 4g works for like 20sec then goes to 1x. Im in Minnesota though I hope its verizon and I didnt break my phone.
[HTC Rezound] Scott:
Damn, this is the whole reason I left Sprint... To avoid this.

But for my 4G is good right now. Sitting in my basement office, I am getting 10 Down and 3.5 Up.

Thats damn good considering with Sprint I would be roaming!
[HTC Rezound] MrSmith317:
Call customer service. I know that there's issues in my area.
[HTC Rezound] brando56894:
Yes and yes. I even downloaded the newest SDK in windows and that didn't fix anything. I actually got it to detect the phone in Linux but when it starts to transfer the files it says "directory not found" for everything. Also after the first "successful" run I rebooted and all my bloatware was removed, but I lost root. :-(
[HTC Rezound] MrSmith317:
That's the temp part of temp root ;-)

As to the rest of your issues, if you post a screenshot or output from the commands it would certainly help. Just as an FYI, you don't need the Windows Android SDK to connect/use this tool. You do however need the Linux Android SDK(for Mac or Linux) because of some dependencies.
[HTC Rezound] Scott:
Damn just lost it now. I cant beleive this. This was the entire reason I left Sprint. Now VZW is pulling this on me? This is unreal. I think one more day left to cancel my contract.

Not happy.

[HTC Rezound] MrSmith317:
Nice one Scott. If I may suggest one improvement. I grabbed the "better" root packages(su, superuser.apk, and busybox) and overwrote the ones you were using. It still applies root but doesn't give terminal emulator and it does last for a while. I was going to build in wifi tether as well, but since it's not permanent I chose not to. Oh and if you want this ported for linux again, just let me know.
[HTC Rezound] Scott:
LOL, Check you PM...

Can you tell me exactly which better root package you are using? I may update if you thinks its that much better?

Not today though... Been up too long working on the scripting for this beast! lol Going to bed soon....

[HTC Rezound] SquireSCA:
Ok, so I think I got all the bloat that I can find, without disrupting Sense, or basic things like Facebook.

My goal was to get rid of all bloat, but leave the Facebook app itself running, just no live streaming widgets and crap. All VZW crap, useless stuff, but I don't want Sense to be impacted as I do like it.
