I personally have the otterbox commutter and don't even use a screen protector still not a scratch I clean it over and never put keys in same pocket as phone but the screen is made to be UN scratchable sand is reallly the main thing to watch out for

If you want a full screen protector buy a premium one from a bigger phone like note or something and cut it with a razor blade to cover all the way from both speakers I've done it already but screen protectors go bad and get dust under then after a while and never look as good as the phone does without protector

Hello guys.I have a question about video camera.As you know,Sony "fixed" the camera in 2.17 update.However,I still have an issue and I found a solution but I just want to know if it's just me or it's a general bug.I uploaded a video on youtube just to show you that when you record something and change the area in a place where it's different luminosity [ darker area -> brighter / brighter -> darker ] the video lags for 1 second.The fix is to select in Scenes -> Soft Snap or anything else except None! Here's the video:

Doesn't work with your fix.I tested and it's the same :P

hi,

only installed a whatsapp version years ago, now wanted to use the "market" again....but i cant download anything.

the error is:

"the download has failed, please try again" (free translation from german)

this happend for 3 different applications, and of course a retry does the same...

i really only want whatsapp(which needs to be updated) which is running with android 2.1 according to their homepage.

any ideas how to solve this?
[General Questions and Answers] amit@12:
Hmmm lets see

If its shown on play store it means it is compatible

Have u tried on another sim

May be unstable network

If ur device is rooted flash gapps again compatible with rom u use

If not rooted try factory restore settings

[General Questions and Answers] androidfan34:
the device isnt touched, its only been updated from 2.something to 2.1.

but thats a official update from sony.

factory restore settings would kill contacts/calender right?
[General Questions and Answers] amit@12:
Yes of course

So do make a backup

Use app called my backup

Hey there after a whole week of testing, reflashing, bricking, rebooting I decided to share with you my debloat version of Galaxy S4 Mini I9195 ( might work on all versions of galaxy mini, not sure. )

For those who want to keep stock os for some reasons, I made this post hoping I can spare people some great time.

Summary: most stock apps gone, no kies, no ota update ( if you root your phone you wont't get any anyway ) and so on. Removed main apps as I have replacements from the play store. Also removed everything search related including voice which never worked well for me. I use swype keyboard to dictate and that's all.

I attached the updater-script contents, as you may modify and keep whatever you want. I tested this script on my device and everything works fine.

Just flash it via cw recovery and if it's the first debloat I recommend wiping /data and /cache.

If you want to skip a file deletion, open the zip with any archiver, and edit the file META-INF/com/google/android/updater-script and delete the lines regarding the app/folder/lib you want to keep.

How to Unbrick

How did you unbrick your phone pls? :)

I had the CM and i want to come back to stock.

I have tried flashing a stock debranded DBT rom.

I had boot loop. The Samsung loge freezes.

I have tried flashing all stock roms.

No chance. I can see onlay Samsung logo...
[Galaxy S 4 Mini General] btnetro:
I had this issue, wiped /data and /cache after flashing my csc ROM and worked.
[Galaxy S 4 Mini General] Kaar3l:
Worked like charm. :) Serious debloating.

I flashed cwm, booted to cwm flashed the script and was done. I wiped dalvik just in case. Now seems to work fine. Didn't have to root for it. :)

So basically stock rom and kernel + no more crappy apps. :good:

Thank you for your work!!! Awesome!!
[Galaxy S 4 Mini General] btnetro:
You're welcome like I said I spent a whole week removing/puting back until I found what CAN be removed and what CANNOT be removed safely.

When I feel like reverting to stock rom I flash stock and immediatly after odin's reboot I flash custom recovery and run the zip so I can have my /data intact.
[Galaxy S 4 Mini General] Whosat:
[MENTION=5361431]btnetro[/MENTION] can I check with you if you needed to flash back your nandroid backup for reverting to stock rom?
[Galaxy S 4 Mini General] btnetro:
I'm sorry I don't understand the question
[Galaxy S 4 Mini General] Whosat:
What were the steps you took to revert back to stock ROM? :)
[Galaxy S 4 Mini General] btnetro:
odin flash with appropiate csc firmware ( my case dbt ) not a very hard thing
[Galaxy S 4 Mini General] Whosat:
Did you have to restore your initial CWM backup?
[Galaxy S 4 Mini General] btnetro:
I never made backups since this is not my primary device and it's still in testing sort of speak.

however since this are different roms I don't think you can revert to stock rom with cyanogen /data ...
[Galaxy S 4 Mini General] burtkwok:
This sounds great, but if I have rooted and frozen bits of bloat can I do this over the top and expect it to work?

TIA
[Galaxy S 4 Mini General] Deleted member 3309670:
I'm intrested in using this script but for example Im using voice can I install some apps that you deleted back ?

and how many spce did you saved after debloating ?
[Galaxy S 4 Mini General] btnetro:
instead of reinstalling you can edit the file I wrote on the 1st thread and delete the lines that match the apps you want to keep
[Galaxy S 4 Mini General] ks13:
if i install the full debloat and then i add only the apps i want, what happens with updates ?

am i going to be able to get them and if yes will all the samsung apps be re-installed ?
[Galaxy S 4 Mini General] Deleted member 3309670:
If you have rooted phone just make full backup with Titanium Backup and after you will use this debloater you can easy get back all apps you want.

I'm verry happy with this script great work ;)
[Galaxy S 4 Mini General] ks13:
thank i will try
[Galaxy S 4 Mini General] btnetro:
you will receive update on apps but no ota updates.
[Galaxy S 4 Mini General] marselcj:
Hey guys, could you please tell me how is the battery on this rom comparing the stock one?
[Galaxy S 4 Mini General] JMailuhu:
This is not a rom. Its a script that automaticly uninstalls all the samung bloatware apps like Samsung hub, sam connect, bookstore etc.

But to awnser your question, it would save battery a bit more since the bloatware won't be running in the sys backround any longer

Beware that debloating does not remove any bloatware system shortcuts such as some of the AllShare connectivities tabs as its implented into the samsung firmwares interface.

Script content explanation?

Hello, btnetro!

I would really like to use the script to get rid of the crappy samsung bloatware. But there are also a lot of apps I would like to keep, i.e. the musicplayer, the keyboard, the browser and so on. But before editing I really first have to get an explanation of the lines. I really don't want to get a phone that doesn't work correctly anymore because of some interdependencies I don't know about.

Can you help me on this?
[Galaxy S 4 Mini General] btnetro:
Not sure what to do, just edit the file. The name of the apps you want to keep is quite obvious, so it won't be a hard thing.

[Galaxy S 4 Mini General] 47273:
Hi btnetro,

As I am a junior newbie I have a question to let your script works well.

Right now I've installed the slimbean-rom, but I would like to go back to de original firmware with your script. What do I have to do now?

Do I have to get the original rom on my sd-card, flash it with CWM and after that run your zip which I have to place also on the sd-card?

I would love to know if my thinking is right! :)

Thanks!

Now you are also unrooted again.

And after that the debloat-zip.

9190 or 9192

Had anyone tried this script on 9190 or 9192?

thanks!
[Galaxy S 4 Mini General] dreamdrake:
I did (on I9192) and all the times I tried it broke playstore.

It also made Kies unusable, which I want working for contacts sync with Outlook and the back-up options it offers.

I tried to edit the script to remove only the bloat and keep the rest of the functionality intact,

but can not understand the dependencies between the apk and the so files

and it always breaks those two.

Unfortunately, the original creator has stopped supporting the script.

And so, I have also stopped trying to use it.
[Galaxy S 4 Mini General] btnetro:
I will have a look on kies and play store, al though I use the same script and use google play without any issues.

However I never used kies.

I did not stop supporting it, is just that my knoweldge on this is somehow limited, I just made this myself and worked and thought to share it.
[Galaxy S 4 Mini General] dreamdrake:
Thanks for even trying! :) I' ll be waiting for news from you then, hope you can manage..

What do you use for contacts, sms, apps and settings backup?
[Galaxy S 4 Mini General] btnetro:
I backup everything via twrp, the /data folder that is.

For contacts I only sync them with google, works very well.

but, if I have to use some app I would use helium
[Galaxy S 4 Mini General] dreamdrake:
I do full CWM backups, but the good side of Kies (I know everyone says it's s**t, but it has done wonders for me) is that by backing up contacts to Outlook you always have a local copy which you can always sync to a new phone and be up and running in minutes..Don't know, I was never confortable with my contact list being on the net ( cloud or Google..).

Hadn't even heard of helium, will try it if Kies keeps not working after running the script.. :)
[Galaxy S 4 Mini General] Sanj3k:
Dumb question just tried your Script and Now i am missing Music Player, Clock Widgets and Weather Widget Accu how can I Get them back can someone please upload them? Because I cant find the apks through xda search :(
[Galaxy S 4 Mini General] onimorza:
Worked like a charm! Byebye S*ms*ngsh*t :laugh:

Only thing I couldn't fugure out was how to get back the large clock on my lock screen.

I can still change the option in settings of lockscreen > widgets lockscreen > size clock, but on the lockscreen itself it stays the same small size.

With Titanium I searched on all "clock" and "widget" related items and restored them, but to no avail.

Anyone any idea?
[Galaxy S 4 Mini General] cemimo:
good info

I would never run such a script on my phone. I might like some of that bloatware. I want to know exactly what I'm about remove.

But this is a great list. If I want to remove something I can be sure I wont do a mess.

So thanks!
[Galaxy S 4 Mini General] XxM4tzexX:
This is a very simple script.

It would be very helpfull if someone took a look the script where the apps to be removed are listed and give a small explanation of the apps.

Then everyone could customize an own script where only the required apps are deleted´by simply removing the line in the list.

extracting Apps?

Thanks a lot for your work, it is really good. :good:

But is there a way to get some deloated apps back, without flashing the rom again and debloating without that wanted app?

I mean, can an app be extracted out of the original ROM and be installed seperatley?

Reason behind: everything is installed, works perfectly.... but FM Radio is missing....don't want to do all the work again :cyclops:

Thank You
[Galaxy S 4 Mini General] mouhii:
Sorry for necroposting, but I was also looking for a similar script and ran into this thread.

As mentionned above, the original script isn't working out of the box on KK stock rom.

So I remade one which is not using busybox. Of course this modifications applies first to my needs. It was made on the base off I9195XXUCNE6_I9195OXACNE6_DBT stock rom and ran on PhilZ recovery. (philz_touch_6.48.4-serranoltexx)

I did not remove the original APK list given and just commented the lines in which I wasn't interested in.

Also I added at the end of the script some lines for the /system/priv-app folder and sammy's SSO.

And for those who are interested in this, I've found a post on XDA (sorry couldn't get the thread back) with that (google) shared spreadsheet, it helped me with the APKs I didn't know: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/ccc?key=0ApUQpspiZeBTdHotUXJ5bTQycHJLMHA1U0ROQ1NpZ1E

Hope this will help !

and ClockWorkMod Recovery 6.0.5.0

but after running the script, I had to manually remove some apps that are not included in the script!

here is the list if someone wants to implement the script:

/system/app/Drive.apk | Google Drive App

/system/app/SecEmail_J.apk | Email Client (i use K9 Mail)

It's a folio case...they are all made very similar and compared to many it is a slim case. I gave $5 for mine including shipping and for the price it's a decent case. It's made as well as the RooCase I have for the original Nexus and it cost $20.

I'm confused how you can enjoy using your 10mm thick Nexus 7 in a case that makes it over 2 cm thick
[Nexus 7 (2013) Accessories] k2thec:
because I get to enjoy the extra padding and coverage and no longer baby it. everyone's use is different. personally I want to drop mine toss it around and put it in a pack with water bottles, sharp gouging objects, even drop it face first on gravel if I should happen to. my supcase has been working great for me, but I still share your gripes about the flap.

linux ftw
[Nexus 7 (2013) Accessories] [TSON]:
I feel you on the protection, but this isn't even like all-around thickness, this is while the flap is behind the tablet. I find the thickness of the case's material okay, but there's no reason for the flap to be so thick when you fold it back. That's my problem, really.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Accessories] k2thec:
can't wait till you get more cases to compare! thank you. I have a rubbery kayscase but I haven't used it yet in favor of the sup. I will probably have to take a hairdryer to it as its shape is slightly malformed even when I put it on the n7
