[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] sendust7:
Now you can auto-debloat your Galaxy S4 beauty using my new Auto-Debloat S4 flashable zip!

Link: http://www.mediafire.com/download/awabu8cg5a19lj4/Debloat-SGS4.zip

This is tested working on my rooted, unlocked (bootloader) SGH-I337 (AT&T) running Stock AT&T JB 4.2.2 I337UCUAMDL and TWRP Recovery 2.5.0.2.

But it should work on just about any S4 ROM though the primary target is JB 4.2.2.

Now of course there are many ways to debloat your rooted S4. But you may find this one very useful.

By default, my flashable zip frees up 600MB of precious space in your 2.7GB /system partition by removing approximately 90 bloatware apks and their corresponding odex files! Run time is just over 30 seconds.

And the customizable database file (bloatware-apk-sorted.txt) is sorted by file size to help you focus on big bloats like Samsung’s Health app “SHealth2.apk” (88 MB).

Thus you can debloat even more by extracting the database “bloatware-apk-sorted.txt” from zip, changing filename suffixes from “.KEEP” to “.apk”, reinserting database and reflashing. Run time is shorter on the second and subsequent passes.

Want to "rebloat"? No problem: All bloatware is safely moved to a special directory: /sdcard/Download/Bloatware for quick recovery.

As usual, “I will let YOU DECIDE whether to wipe data!”

Here’s a clip of my original database “bloatware-apk-sorted.txt” showing some of the worst offenders --- at least in terms of file size:

And here’s the script engine: auto-debloat.sh

Blessings:) Enjoy:D

[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ismethajametovic:
Since the N4 lacks an SD card slot and isn't OTG supported. Is there anything we can delete in the system files to increase internal storage space?

If anyone has any ideas that won't cause the OS to crash or soft brick, I'm all for it because I literally load my phone with music until there's around +/- 200mb's left.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kbeezie:
Deleting stuff off /system won't do anything because it's not even the same partition as /data (and the /system partition is always the same size, you can't resize it to give that space to /data)

Also /data and /data/media are the same partition, so you would gain more space by deleting non-system apps and their cached data.

Far as music goes, you could resort to using Google Play Music and just stream most of it.

PS: You may have a bunch of cache and data files you don't need left from old applications, in which case I would backup everything you have in /data/media , back up your apps (perhaps with Titanium backup and such).

Then in recovery you can do "Format Data" (not wipe data, but format) as it will format even the /data/media section, giving you a clean slate (you don't need to wipe system or anything like that, when you boot back up it'll be like a fresh install), reinstall your apps (restore their data with titanium backup), and can then move over what you want.

Or you can just pick thru the /sdcard/android/data or /sdcard/data folder and delete folders for applications you know have been removed.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] illgodson:
I usually go through the rom and delete live wallpapers and such also, not a huge save but I never use them so might as well get the little bit of space back
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kbeezie:
That stuff is usually in /system and will provide no space to /data, at best it just cuts down on the possible background tasks running.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] illgodson:
I thought it would cut down total ROM size though no? Thus leaving a little, if even marginal usable space. I remember on the HD2 making ROM sizes small as possible was the thing for maximum leftover space but I could easily be mistaken.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kbeezie:
Nope, even on my old desire-z the /system partition is a set size. Shrinking the rom will just add space to the /system that is usually read only anyways and will not grant you usable space to the /data partition.

---------- Post added at 01:24 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:20 PM ----------

Ps: at least on the desire-z you could flash either a DZ or tmobile's G2 bootloader would repartition the system size smaller or larger (DZ one had larger system for sense roms) and no its not possible to customize your own partition sizes without breaking the whole phone.

---------- Post added at 01:37 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:24 PM ----------

Just looked it up system on the nexus4 is a 840mb partition, cache is 560, rest goes to data.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] perfectpitch:
You can try turning some of your regular apps to system apps. You can do that from TB. But don't fill the system partition leave space not sure how much.then deleting cache and Dev to reoptimze.

Edit. Not all apps can be converted. And may misbehave. Make sure you do a full nandroid before converting any apps.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kbeezie:
This is true but there are not a lot of larger apps that play nice being system apps. The bulk of the apps space will still be saved to /data. Just as an FYI.

I can always get a third party camera to work, if nothing else, not sure why you can't . I'll use "Camera Zoom FX"

But i don't know anymore, what i've done a few months ago to get it out of APX mode...it was surely luck...but if i would still know how, maybe it would help you :/

if i find out again what i've done, i'll post it here, maybe it will work at other APXed devices too?

Apx mode is related to a hardware failure there is no way to get out of apx mode HTC will simply replace the main board on the device when this happens. I am convinced that my one x failed due to the sound enhancements and the heat problems I had with this phone this is why I only rooted my next phone just before my upgrade.

not so ture

ok i got my HOX stuck in APX mode and i was messing around thinking it was dead anyway, but what i fund is if you install the APX usb driver and then hold volume up and hold the power button until restart the phone will go out of APX mode, it worked for me may work for you :good:

[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DiligentAmatuer:
Xperia Z C6603, Rooted, Locked Bootloader, LED seems to function fine, vibrates, attempted key combinations: V.Down + Power ( reset and hard reset ), V.Up + Power ( same ), just power ( occasionally vibrates, sometimes doesnt ), V.Down and connect to pc ( blue led appears, but nothing else happens, pc doesnt recognize it, only beeps as a sign of smth connected, pc companion doesnt react ).

When charging i get a red blinking LED, no matter how long i charge ( about 8 hours attempted ) it doesnt change, the screen never turned on since all this started.

It started when i was attempting to flash a custom rom via TWRP ( CM 10.1 RC 5 ), in the middle of the installation of the ZIP, there was a missing file ( MD5 or smth like that, not sure ) and then the it said the installation was finished successfully, i rebooted the system... screen never turned on since.

Currently I am trying to wait till the battery runs out without a screen or LED so it may take a few days, i doubt it will work.

If anyone knows a way to turn it on, even factory settings, i dont care about the data, please post it in the comments.

EDIT: Its' on :D , flashed a tft. ( on the soft brick recovery main thread it said flashing tft only works with unlocked bootloader, but i guess it did say 2012 xperia )
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] G1_enthusiast:
what happen when you try to turn it on? if you can get to the sony screen (or see the first LED light that coems up) try to hold vol up and down at the same time to get into recovery.

if that doesnt work reinstall Sony driver and try to flash a FTF

if that still doesnt work then your bassically screwed, need to send in the phone to get fix.
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DiligentAmatuer:

flash a TFT? dont i need an unlocked bootloader for that?

[General Questions and Answers] Philmy:
Greetings all, recently I have rooted and flashed Cyanogenmod 10.1 nightly to my GT-i9300 but a couple of days ago I started to get random reboot loops, the screen waking and sleeping on its own, etc. I tried flashing several other AOSP based roms such as AOKP and Carbon with no success. Today while I was in the car I noticed that if I just extremely lightly touch the power button it will function as it should, however if I press it normally it starts messing up again. I'm not sure if this is a problem with the 3.0 kernel of the roms I've flashed or if it's simply a faulty power button but I would like some enlightenment so I can make my phone usable again, cheers :)

Hello guys carloswii5 here and i had a quick question for you guys that have unlocked bootloaders what would you want to see first an MIUI V4(cant do MIUI V5 found out some critical info so maybe later for it) port or an AOKP CM10 build? im ready to start porting or building either one but i want your guys opinion so i can focus on one for right now and get it as fully functional as i can so you guys can use it as a daily and make the P760 users jealous :p (if you guys choose MIUI sinse they already got AOKP xD ) but let me know :D

[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] csmiler:
So I've been thinking about flashing Paranoid Android 3.6, mostly because of halo and 4.2.2.

What's kept me from root+custom rom for so long is the possibility of a brick, or requiring the warranty and being unable to revert to stock :(

Had the phone for 6 months now, the longest I've stayed on an official rom on any phone I've had, with the impending release of 4.2.2 in the near future, i'm not sure if now's a good time to root. (Decisions, decisions)

Apart from dropping the phone and have the screen shatter, what could go wrong? Eg. Bricks, sds somehow?

I'm hoping to get a list of things that could go wrong, and the way to get something to go wrong.

Purely so I could avoid just that :good:

There is a best toolkit available for rooting and installing Cwm which u can use and will not create any issue out of it

Since note 2 is quite a old and most of the issue which occurs are solved by some or the other user

I would suggest take a proper EFS backup have a nandroid backup safe somewhere on pc etc after rooting and cwm

And after that enjoy flashing ROMS u like the way u want

Most of the thread has a guide to use / install so u won't have any issue I guess

Just follow the guide and u ll just be fine
