mrRobinson Note II De-Bloater

This is a fancy little Aroma Installer you can flash in CWM or TWRP and choose all the bloatware you want to remove from your system.

For any Galaxy Note II variant!

There are a few main selections.

Minimal de-bloat will remove everything that is recommended to remove.

Full de-bloat will remove everything that anyone would want to remove without breaking the system.

Individual sections for carrier, ATT, Sprint, Tmobile, More will be added...

Customize de-bloat lets you pick inter-matching between all the sections.

Most of you should choose "Custom". This will show you the lists with Recommended all being selected already and the deeper de-bloat apps being unselected. You can modify as you see fit.

Please take note, you can "flash" this in CWM and it will do nothing until you make your selections and then tell it to. So you can safely flash it, go to custom and peruse around at all the apps it can remove. If you want to do nothing simply bring up the menu and quit the installer.

HOW TO USE:

*Note, this will wipe cache and dalvik-cache for you so you don't have to.

Boot into recovery, from power off [hold vol.up + Home + power] until phone vibrates then release

Select Custom to modify selections of what is removed

click "de-bloat" button

thats it

Aroma info

*scrolling and/or touch can be off at times. No matter where you are volume keys can be used to scroll around, the back and menu keys function as expected and home or power buttons can be used to select.

Since this utility works across many variants I'm posting this here to inform the TMO users yet try to just post in the thread above for any help or feedback for a quicker response from me. Thanks.

Anyone used this for the t-mobile note 2?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] mrRobinson:
Yes works great.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] kpursuer:
I applied it on the latest 4.1.2 XXDLL1 custom rom and was able to bring down total app count to less than 200 from a much higher original bloat count. Thanks to mrRobinson!

after I download the files where do I place them on the device?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] MarkP80nj:
You just put the zip at the root of your sd card, that way it will be easier to find.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] recepo1:
Love this ...use it on every new rom
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] iJaycob:
So does this only work for Galaxy Notes?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] mrRobinson:
It'll remove the files specified on any device but that bloatware is common to the note, yes.

I have one specific to the gs3 as well.

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] MeetFace:
This is genius. I would be nice of ROM developers would create full-APK versions of their ROMs and simply included instructions to use this. It would save them tons of time and allow them cater to everyone's tastes.

Is this tool static or variable? By that I mean, if I've erased a few apks already, does it know that, or will it throw and error if I try to remove something listed in AROMA that is in fact already gone.

Thanks!

P.S. An alternative to the above suggestion would be to add a "Re-Bloat" function, that way we could add the apps that devs strip out.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] mrRobinson:
Yes luckily you can run this over and over and it won't error. In other words you can run it once and select 10 items. then run it a second time, if you forgot which 10 you selected first time you can select them again plus more. the command to delete the app simply won't delete it if it already isn't there but it won't error.

And yes I have thought a lot about a re-bloat option but there are many pitfalls and a lot I'd have to take into consideration esp supporting the different variants which name the same apps differently in some cases.

The only decent way would be to save off a list of what you de-bloated to your sdcard and before deleting those apps also copying them off to the sdcard. then the re-bloat would simply read that list and restore. if you've debloated before i've added that function though it wouldn't help you. As free time allows, I'll implement something.

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] MeetFace:
Just so people are aware, t3project is working on a re-bloater Aroma installer for our Sprint devices. With these two tools combined we should be able to customize any ROM!

Thanks awesome devs

wow..last post made was back in december. has a debloater been implemented yet?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] MeetFace:
Nah, all of the respectable devs have incorporated aroma into their ROM installs, so we can effectively bloat or UN bloat at installation.

Hey guys.

Been using my Nexus 4 for the past day and almost everything about it is great.

My only complaint so far? Volume out through the headphone jack is rather weak compared to my old S3 with modified sound files.

I'm thinking about using an external DAC to circumnavigate this issue. Anyone have any experience with DACs working with Android?

Thanks
[Nexus 4 Accessories] abe in space:
If volume is your issue, why not just an amp? It would be easier (theoretically) to find a great, compact headphone amp than a DAC+amp in the same housing.

However, RSA(a highly reputable brand in audiophile circles) has a portable DAC+amp here: http://www.raysamuelsaudio.com/products/intruder . I don't know for sure if it works with Android, but:

A. I don't see why not with USB Host

B. Couldn't hurt to ask.
[Nexus 4 Accessories] bscotth:
I'm interested in getting something that I could use on more than just my phone so I figured I might as well get a DAC.
[Nexus 4 Accessories] Chrono_Tata:
It did not work on 4.1 from what I heard and I have not heard about Google fixing it for 4.2 either. Jelly Bean does support USB audio but the support is very limited.
[Nexus 4 Accessories] Dmwitz:
You should write and ask the guys at HRT (High Resolution Technologies) about their USB DAC. They had one that worked for the iphone connection so chances are that it should work. I'm getting one if it does, so please post your answer.
[Nexus 4 Accessories] crawlgsx:

[Nexus 4 Accessories] bscotth:
Well guys, it seems a USB DAC will be impossible for the time being. There appears to be no USB OTG support while rocking the stock setup. The best I can do is use a headphone amp so far. The only downside I foresee is that I hear double amp'ing isn't too great of an idea.
[Nexus 4 Accessories] zookalicious:
If I remember correctly, the Nexus 7 supports DAC's when rooted and with some work-arounds. So I don't think it's impossible for it to work with the N4.
[Nexus 4 Accessories] irishrally:
An amp works if all you want is volume and a little cleaner sound.

Picture taken with Nexus 4 ...
[Nexus 4 Accessories] ΦDroid:
I just tried using a slimport adapter connected to an audio receiver through HDMI. Through the audio jack I normally get lots of fuzz but it seems that using slimport the internal amp and DAC are bypassed. Thus the audio quality is much better and I cannot hear any fuzz. Can everyone else with an adapter try it out and share your results?

Since the use of normal USB DACs with the N4 is not very practical, Im thinking this would be a great way to connect a DAC.

We just need someone to produce a DAC for slimport devices. (It doesn't even require rooting!)
[Nexus 4 Accessories] Bloodflame:
I've been pretty happy using a relatively cheap Fiio E5 headphone amp, but I've been considering upgrading to an E17 DAC. Would be great to know if/how well DAC's work on the N4 (or any other Android phone, for that matter)

It uses a new standard called slim port. Its like having a display port. There is only one cable out that I have found on amazon but its $30. Sucks they changed that standard but it is what lg is doing. Do seem to have a few advantages over mhl.

Eww, I was hoping it is backward compatible with MHL :mad:

Hello people!

I am having problem with my HTC One V. My phone was working fine but all of a sudden it's gallery is showing "No photos or Videos found" and the Music player is also not scanning any music files. But the fiiles are shown in the ES file explorer.

My phone is not rooted, and neither did I install any app recently. Ya but connected my phone to my laptop.

This problem has occured quite a few times earlier also, but used to rectify on its own in a day. But now it is pissing me off, it's been a week.

Tried restarting, removing the storage card etc. But won't help.

Please help!

Won't this delete all my photos and videos?

And will this solve the problem of music player also? It is also not showing any of my songs.

PS: Sorry, its a Noob question, I am new to android :(
[HTC One V] parthjain27:
Didn't work, tried much earlier :(
[HTC One V] ckpv5:
No, it won't delete your files... it just cleared your data/thumbnails and rebuild them. I think this will help your music player too. You can do the same for Music player - settings - apps - all - music - clear data
[HTC One V] parthjain27:
Nothing worked :eek:
[HTC One V] cybervibin:
which ROM?
[HTC One V] donhashem.dh:
At you sure that the photos are still on the sd card ??
[HTC One V] parthjain27:
ICS. It's stock.

Yep, everything is on the ad card. I can access it from the file explorer.

I am wondering if I should backup my data and then format my phone.

It is showing up one more problem, I cannot download a single app from the play store. It shows downloading, and downloading and nothing moves on.

EDIT: If I format my phone, I can download all my paid apps again because they are linked to ny google account,right ?
[HTC One V] donhashem.dh:
I once had the exact problem ..but Im not able to remember because I'm becoming old ......

This may work

Move all your stuff on your sd card to your pc

Format your sd card and put em back again .....

Maybe the problem is with the sd card :confused:

Just WAIT FOR A OTA UPDATE it will fix the bug ,I had that problem too

I was thinking to do the same, but worried if it could affect my installed apps ??

I'll also try shifting some of my pics to the phone storage, lets see if it is showing the pics in there.. if it works then I'll format the sd card, if not will format the phone!
[HTC One V] gulsher:
U can install them again! whats the problem ????
[HTC One V] parthjain27:
That will be too long I think, not sure when the update will come!

And what about the data in apps, such as in Notes Lite I have a number of important notes, and it wont even perform a backup :(
[HTC One V] donhashem.dh:
Then don't do a reset just wait until it gets solved by itself ...but if that didn't work ....reset
[HTC One V] cybervibin:
If u don't have patience do this...move all the data to the pc as in images and all....reboot phone browse gallery

So that the cache is built

[Acer Iconia A700 and A510] Moscow Desire:
Dude, it's pretty easy.

1. Unlock your bootlooader. To do this, go into tablet /Settings/Development Options and select USB Debugging.

2. Plug your tab into PC (your Acer USB drivers must be installed first)

3. Open a Command Window in the folder you downloaded all those files. (shift & right mouse click)

4. Check to make sure ADB is working by typing adb devices (you should get some numbers) if not, you have a windows driver issue.

5. Type adb reboot bootloader (tab should reboot to bootloader)

6. Type fastboot OEM unlock (you should get a couple of images. One with an unlock, and one with a lock door) Use Vol - to switch between the 2. Use vol + to select. You have to be quick, as it times out after 5 seconds or so.

When you reboot, it should say bootloader version number (unlocked mode) or something similar.

Go back to the Command window, and run the batch file. "easyroot.bat" by typing in easyroot.bat , then hit the Enter button. The batch file should install all you need, You may need to select things that it prompts you for.

No, there's not a video, as it ain't rocket science. If you can't understand these instructions, perhaps it is better if you do not root your tablet. Doing this, is not for everybody.

Also note, once you unlock your bootloader, you can no longer get OTA from Acer. And, once you unlock it, you cannot lock it back. Not without installing a whole new stock rom.

Also, next time, post your questions in the Q&A forum. Otherwise, nobody will answer them.

so,i haved I downloaded the usb driver and sdk on my pc and then

First, i install usb driver.sau I plug my A700 to the PC, I did not see what happened. do not know my tab has been updated to the new driver?

*I download the sdk for it in the c drive (because when I extract it, do not see the files installed)

Unlock Your Bootloader: (codes from alx5962)

1. Open a command prompt in windows and navigate to the directory where adb is stored. For the sake of conversation, I’m going to call it “C:\SDK\platform-tools”

2. Plug your tablet into your computer through USB. It should automatically mount because you’ve installed the Acer USB Drivers and didn’t skip that step above. J

3. At the command prompt, enter the following:

I do not know to type the path to the sdk, it's all wrong! I to the sdk folder in c / program files/adt-bundle-windows-x86 .đặt thư mục sdk ở program files có đúng không?
[Acer Iconia A700 and A510] Moscow Desire:
Dude. Why are you messing with the Android SDK? When you mess with the SDK, you also have to install the Java JRE kit as well. Then, you have to modify your PATH and CLASSPATH on windows, or else you'll get the messages you got.

I thought you just wanted to get Root on your tablet. Everything you need is in the package that Vorbeth has for easyRoot. His package contains adb.exe, fastboot.exe, and the windows dll's necessary to do it from the folder you saved them all too. Leave the SDK alone unless you know what you are doing.
[Acer Iconia A700 and A510] cuibapngo:
wow.not need unlock boadloader that still root?thanks.i try.
