[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] ericwgarza1:
Here is a script to help remove some of the bloatware that comes on our stock ROMs. It is a pretty simple script and can be personalized by editing the updater-script file. You will need to have a custom recovery already flashed on your phone to use this mod (ie: Rogue, CWM, etc...). Just put the zip on your sdcard and flash like a ROM. This is for deodex roms only, but if the demand is high I'll update it to work with odex roms as well. The files that are removed are listed below.

Here is a rough guide on how to edit the script:

1. You need an archive program like 7zip or WinRAR to open the .zip file up.

2. Open the path (META-INF/com/google/android) until you see a file named updater-script.

3. Pull the updater-script file out of the archive and make your edits with Notepad++ (NOT REGULAR NOTEPAD).

4. Drag the updater-script back into the archive and select "store" as the compression type.

5. Put the .zip on your phone and flash.
