Where does the script go
[Galaxy S 4 Themes and Apps] ruikarel:
Read the first topic, got to have root in your phone, and a custom recovery, then you can install this zip.
[Galaxy S 4 Themes and Apps] kaja69:
I am new to hacking my Galaxy but I would like to get rid of all the bloatware. I read most of this thread but I still don't get it if I need root or not. Some say root plus custom recovery, some say only custom recovery... I also read the threat about CF-Auto-Root for my S4. There seems to be some issues when new firmwares are released and I don't really need root so I would like only to get rid of bloatware.

So please, how do I install/use the script without rooting first?
[Galaxy S 4 Themes and Apps] Paparasee:
Hey, I was just wondering ... if I run the script, the ROM gets cleaned/ removed for good. Factory reset and its still all gone!

If I flash one of the Samsung ROMS via odin, do I get back the files that were removed? Basically what I want to do is run the script, realize that stuff I wanted has gone and then flash a full Samsung Rom via odin and start afresh. Is that possible?

Thanks :)
[Galaxy S 4 Themes and Apps] lotzakritters:
Or you can restore your nandroid backup that you did before you make the changes and your back in business.
[Galaxy S 4 Themes and Apps] frrlod:
So after finally successfully installing PhilZ touch, I ran the script and it says everything was successful, but nothing was removed. I've done it twice. Stuff that weren't updated weren't removed either...
[Galaxy S 4 Themes and Apps] johnsonxray:
Smemo is not working..but app still there..FC on Smemo, I believe its bcos some core apps removed

[Galaxy S 4 Themes and Apps] ruikarel:
I have those 3 files, in system/app...

But smemo still says when i try to use it, smemo stopped.

Then in the sdcard i have in the folder applications an smemo folder with , cache, color, image, sound and switcher. With no apk files, copied those 3 apk to here.but still no luck. And in the sdcard root have another smemo folder, tryed the same thing with no luck.

Have the 3 files at system/app.. is that it? Or they got to be in other place?

---------- Post added at 02:01 AM ---------- Previous post was at 01:53 AM ----------

If you didnt backup you only can have original rom agaim by flashing via odin..

My smemo have the 3 supposed needed files at system/app, didnt tested the kies wifi, but when i search for new firmware and it doesnt work.

[Galaxy S 4 Themes and Apps] demoncamber:
Is google+ safe to uninstall if you do not use G+? It's not needed for android is it?
[Galaxy S 4 Themes and Apps] rl421403:
For smemo to work properly you will require these.

/system/app/SMemo2.apk

/system/app/SNoteProvider.apk

and make sure you have this file also.

/system/lib/libsnote_core.so
[Galaxy S 4 Themes and Apps] ruikarel:
Dont have that last one

libsnote_core.so

Where can i download that file? Anyone here can copy the file and upload it

Here is mine libsnote_core.so from S4 I9500.

http://d-h.st/OuV

Put this file in /system/lib and set permission to 644 and reboot your phone.
[Galaxy S 4 Themes and Apps] ruikarel:
Did that..

Put the file that was missing, and give that permission.

Reboot and it says, smemo stopped. And then the app doesnt load no more.

Got smemo in some folders and some doesnt have the smemo.apk, maybe thats the real problem? Someone check it for me, what are the folders that should have the smemo.apk.
[Galaxy S 4 Themes and Apps] rl421403:
Are you on stock rom or custom rom?

If you are on Samsung stock firmware then you will need these 5 files.

/system/app/SMemo2.apk

/system/app/SMemo2.odex

/system/app/SNoteProvider.apk

/system/app/SNoteProvider.odex

/system/lib/libsnote_core.so

If you are on custom deodexed rom then you will require only these deodexed files.

\/system/app/SMemo2.apk

/system/app/SNoteProvider.apk

/system/lib/libsnote_core.so

And permissions for each file will be 644.
[Galaxy S 4 Themes and Apps] ruikarel:
Checked...

Smemo2.apk didnt have the permission, made the change, reboot the phone.

But the same thing happen..

Smemo2 stopped.

I am interested in installing this on my device,because it have lots of ram memory used.Can someone tell me how much ram do you get free after installing this? Thanks
[Galaxy S 4 Themes and Apps] ruikarel:
Nobloat, is a good one too,you can choose things you dont want.

This script takes everything, the hardcore version.

Try nobloat, i think its a good opinion, and then greenify app to hibernize all the apps in background, got great battery life after that.

does not want to is updated after installation. Kish does not recognize the phone. How to solve this problem guys???????????????????? I've tried everything possible, but does not work?
[Galaxy S 4 Themes and Apps] ruikarel:
I think only by installing stock firmware again.

But i want to know why doesnt look for new firmware or updates..
[Galaxy S 4 Themes and Apps] grimrp3r:
reporting here,

the gms seems to be needed for Android Device Manager. I just realized it when i recently lost my phone (and yes, i found it) I can't locate my phone, so yeah I flash new rom and modify the script to exclude the gms_maps.apk and it worked again. I found the gms stands for Google Mobile Service

either that, or install from third party device locator

I think, many of us would appreciate a way to recover the files if something doesn't work afterwards.

I made a suggestion on how this might be achieved on August 4.
[Galaxy S 4 Themes and Apps] easyok:
att i337 MF3

My environment is rooted att i337 MF3, can i use this truly clean script? thank you very much!
[Galaxy S 4 Themes and Apps] norml:
Make a backup of ur present rom with custom recovery beforehand.
[Galaxy S 4 Themes and Apps] zaunkoenig:
I have backups.

However, I would prefer the possibility to reactivate deactivated files, since a restore of a backed up system (possibly several days or weeks later when I notice a misbehaviour) drops other changes which I may have made in the meantime.

When it turns out after a while that the smartphone runs flawless without the renamed files, I could then delete these files finally.

I think my suggestion could be implemented quite easily, if it was possible for the author of TrulyClean to implement a delete function.
[Galaxy S 4 Themes and Apps] norml:
I think the majority, if not all the deleted crap, can be downloaded/reinstalled from Google Play. Good luck man.

Hello schoolsux,

Tremendous work!!!! 1 Gb !!!! freed. :laugh: But have a problem with 3G-data connection.:confused:

Am using s4 - GT-I9505 with Stock everything (except philz-touch and CF-Auto-Root). Have done it twice and checked 3G-data connection at each step of the way. Was OK until running the script.

Any idea? :D

Unzip the ZIP file and navigate to /META-INF/com/google/android/, then edit "updater-script" file.

After editing the script to my likening I zipped the whole directories again but can't run the script at CWM, should I zip the script in any special way? Thanks in advance.

[Galaxy S 4 Themes and Apps] DSA:
Why not just drag the updater script out of the zip, edit it and the drop it back into the pre existing cwm zip

If it doesn't work at that point, you have an error in your script
[Galaxy S 4 Themes and Apps] msxDr0id:
Hum, I did exactly the same but using the terminal -I'm kinda a console junkie- but couldn't make CWM recognize the zipped file; gonna try again using the automagically method of a GUI file manager though.

Said that, I may have screwed up something when manually re-zipped the package...

Modifying a zip is simple especially while on your device. Use Zarchiver https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=ru.zdevs.zarchiver

Open Zarchiver

Tap on the file zip to modify and select view archive

Hold down on the target file hit copy, navigate to safe folder to work from and paste

In any app for root explorer find and edit the file.

Go back to Zarchiver and find the file in the zip, hold down to select it select delete.

In Zarchiver copy the new file that was edited, now just the same go and tap on the install zip select view archive.

Navigate to where the file was and paste. This will take a few depending on the file and zip compression and after the progress bar disappears hit back till Zarchiver is closed and the zip ia modified and still flashable now

Hi guys,

I just got myself a new S4 unlocked international version (i9500) and tried to install the 1.6 hardcore script with some changes. After I enter the stock recovery mode and apply the update from my external storage its gives me a warning in RED which says E-signature verification failed but goes ahead with applying the update and then says 'Restarting phone' and the phone restarts. However upon restart all the stock apps are still present. Am I doing something wrong here?

[Galaxy S 4 Themes and Apps] Patrics83:
And that someone never reported anything in my thread... ;)

Right now I'm working on a new update for Samsung S4 but since ROM Cleaner lets you edit what to be removed via a .txt file located on your external/internal sdcard it's a bit tricky to create...

And ofc the backup/restore of apps needs sdcard as well, so I'm fighting with 12 different sdcard paths atm :p

However I think the code is ready very soon... (just waiting for a report about cwm 6.0.4.4)

What's left now is to make needed edits to the app removal txt and release it :thumbup:

If you guys want to help then head over to my thread and report feedback etc.

As thousands of users on many different devices are repeatingly using Rom Cleaner, it can't be that difficult to understand and configure.

TrulyClean for Android 4.3

Hello everybody,

I made the script cleaner which is compatible for 4.3. It's the hardcore version and it will wipe everything :p. Could someone test it?

-> it will wipe every Samsung Apps except S-Memo.

-> it will wipe Google Apps except Google Maps + Libs...

-> it will wipe Samsung Core Apps like Software Update, KNOX, Kies, Mobile Print, EasyLauncher etc + Libs...

-> it will wipe System Widgets like Accuweather and other system widgets

-> it will wipe a lot of apps which you ever hated :D (see Attachment)

If you have any issues after flashing let me know ;)

Thank you for your effort, but sadly it breaks wifi, at least on GT-I9500.
[Galaxy S 4 Themes and Apps] Kaito95:

Are you using the stock kernel? It will make some troubles because the selinux is enforced instead of permissive. You should change your kernel :)

I recommend you to go to this page here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2487089

It's a modified stock kernel with SE-linux permissive.

[Galaxy S 4 Themes and Apps] mw86:
I rooted and followed the install of the permissive set and the build prop line fixed but to no avail for my GT-I9500 as reported above the toggle or on switch for wifi was locked to off.

I fixed it in this version https://db.tt/M4B0qQLs

in the script the following is the section I had to modify and this is what I left of it.

ui_print("Deleting folders and misc...");

delete_recursive("/system/media/video");

delete_recursive("/system/lost+found");

delete_recursive("/system/opticalreader");

delete_recursive("/data/dalvik-cache");

delete_recursive("/cache");

The following is the original

ui_print("Deleting folders and misc...");

delete_recursive("/system/media/video");

delete_recursive("/system/containers");

delete_recursive("/system/lost+found");

delete_recursive("/system/preloaddata");

delete_recursive("/system/app/pak");

delete_recursive("/system/app/mcRegistry");

delete_recursive("/system/preloadedsso");

delete_recursive("/system/wakeupdata");

delete_recursive("/system/voicebargeindata");

delete_recursive("/system/etc/kies");

delete_recursive("/data/dalvik-cache");

delete_recursive("/cache");

We could add back more if someone else wants to test. But after needing to reflash multiple times to have wifi work before testing and nandroid not working on Philz recovery for me in 4.3 it took me long enough to get this sorted to have most of it intact. I tried a few apks first but this solved it. This zip my wifi still worked. Maybe the secure storage line is needed I used it in anycase but this solved the wifi issue above.
