[Verizon HTC One (M7)] GrayBoltWolf:
MAKE A NANDROID BACKUP BEFORE RUNNING THIS SCRIPT!

Here is a flashable script that will remove all bloatware from your HTC One. You must be HTC Dev unlocked and have a custom recovery installed.

Flash the zip in recovery, wipe cache and davlik-cache, and then reboot!

Remember that you can download any of these apps later if you want them.

Download here:

Full Bloatware Remover

Verizon Bloatware Remover

Or scan this convenient QR code:

​

Here is what it will remove:

All Amazon Apps

Audible

Chrome Browser (not really bloat but I don't use it)

Facebook

Flickr

JetCet Print

Google Kid Mode

Kindle App

LinkedIn

My Verizon

MyTask

PDF Viewer

Picasa

Google Plus App

Polaris Office

The Caller ID thing (your caller ID will still work)

Stocks App

TuneIn

Twitter

VMWare Ready

Visual Voice Mail

VZW Accessories

VZW Dock Mode

VZW Game Portal

VZW Location Agent

VZW Slacker Radio

VZW VZTones

VZW Video Portal

VZW Backup Assistant

VZNavigator

The VPN app (don't know what it is called)

If certain apps remain, uninstall any updates for those specific apps in the Play store and run the script again.

I can make different ones that will uninstall only certain things if you guys want.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] Frankie1588:
Thanks!! :)

EDIT: I still have NFL Mobile and Slacker. Are these not considered bloat?
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] pjd2011:
Perfect timing! I just unlocked and rooted 2 minutes after you posted. Flashed this and now I'm a happy camper!

Planning on putting Nova Launcher on it and running stock until I get bored. So far awesome support!!
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] GrayBoltWolf:
Did it not take those out for you?

And you wiped Cache and Davlik Cache?
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] pmterp:
Any chance you'd throw in a breakdown of everything this removes? I definitely want to do it but there are a few apps I use that may be considered bloat by some.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] GrayBoltWolf:
I will work on that now.

Edit:

Done!
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] Syn Ack:
So much bloat! Time to remove.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] Frankie1588:
Yup. I still have those two and I did wipe cache/dalvik after flashing.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] GrayBoltWolf:
Do you remember getting an update to those apps? That may have messed up my version numbers.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] Frankie1588:
Yup, I bet that is what it is. Do you think I would be able to uninstall the updates from the settings menu and then flash again?

EDIT: I uninstalled the updates and it automatically removed the app. Perfect! You can just put a note in the OP to have users uninstall any updates to those apps if they are still available after flashing.

Thanks again for this!

EDIT 2: You do NOT have to run the script again after uninstalling the updates. The app will automatically be removed without flashing. Pretty neat!
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] GrayBoltWolf:
I don't know what the new APK name is though. Could you do me a favor?

Download a file explorer, and navigate to /system/app/. Look for something called "com.mobitv.client.nfl2010.apk" it may have different numbers in the title. Could you tell me what they are?

Edit:

Well, never mind then. I will put that in the OP.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] Frankie1588:
Check EDIT 2 on my last reply. No need to re-flash.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] GrayBoltWolf:
Gotcha, thanks for the heads-up.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] Frankie1588:
Glad to help! Thanks for doing this. :)
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] muffnman:
Does this mean for example that I will not be able to install any of the listed apps in the OP ever again?

You make it sounds like a persistent script which will remove any of the OP's listed apps upon restart. Please clarify.

Thanks!
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] J.Guido85:
I will be receiving my HTC One tomorrow, So im assumibng this is the first thing i should do. Also, Will i be able to re download visual voicemail?
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] GrayBoltWolf:
Yes and yes.

I just re-downloaded my Verizon and it works. Let's see if it stays after a reboot....

Edit:

Yup, still there.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] rester555:
For people with Verizon on the unlimited plan, are you able to create a hotspot for free without having to add it to your plan with this root method? Or do you have to wait for a custom ROM with the AOSP hotspot embedded?
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] yankeeboy73:
TY! This worked great...
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] GrayBoltWolf:
You can use any hotspot app to do it. VZW no longer has control over that. The built-in one will charge you though.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] GrayBoltWolf:
FoxFi confirmed working.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] bsbuggs:
I read somehere that the trev e mod works..
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] GrayBoltWolf:
Not sure what that is.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] bsbuggs:
This what I was reading before posted by Jonhern

ot the one last night and rooted and applied deblot script. Installed WiFi tether but will not work. Tried genieric, auto and s4 settings since it has the same chip but no luck. Anyone get it to work? Using 3.3 beta 2.

Update:

Got it to work using this modded wifi tether app:

WiFi Tether - TrevE Mod

Make sure you uninstall wifi tether app first then install the modded version.

and these settings posted by robfactory here

WiFi Tether - TrevE Mod

generic (wlan0)

enable wi-fi encryption

wi-fi driver reload 1 enabled

wi-fi driver reload 2 disabled

MSS clamping enable

routing fix enable
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] GrayBoltWolf:
Well, foxfi works with no issues.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] bsbuggs:
Thanks..
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] cstrife999:
Thanks a lot for your hard work :)
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] xenakis:
Thanks for making this. To customize this to our liking, do we just edit updater-script and re-zip or do we need to make changes to other files? A quick search of the forums tells me that is all that has to be edited, but wanted to make sure. Thanks.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] Fatvod:
Forget the tethering issue. My main focus is to us my have my main backed up photos in my gallery any Ielp would be apprecite
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] GrayBoltWolf:
Pretty much. :D

I don't understand what you are asking.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] muffnman:
I think he is referring to a stock 4.2.2 rom, where Google photos / Picasa albums are viewable by default in Gallery.

Side note: Is anyone else getting Google account sync issues? (see picture)
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] Fatvod:
So, before I used this debloat script, i a had a neat little folder in my gallery that displayed all the photos backed up to my G+ account; This folder ins vanished and ive been pulling my hair out trying to get it to show back up.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] mattmns:
Did you try installing Google Plus and/or Picasa Tool and logging in?
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] Fatvod:
Is picasa tool managed by HTC? It seems to cost money, Also on stock AOSP this stuff just showed up in my gallery automatically. The reinstall of google+ didnt work. What was odd thogh is it gave me they option to uninstall bit when I did it still showed up as installed.

---------- Post added at 06:35 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:30 PM ----------

Exactly my dude. This is my issue,
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] GrayBoltWolf:
Did you make a nandroid before?
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] muffnman:
The script seems to not play nice with AdAway. At least, that's my experience. I'll follow up if restoring works (or if an alternative solution exists)
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] mattmns:
I experienced the exact same thing :/

Please let me know if you find something.

Have you tried doing the steps outlined in the AdAway help? Changing the location of where the host files go and creating a "symbolic link"?? I haven't messed with it yet
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] mattmns:
I went ahead and followed the steps in the AdAway help and it worked! (the "S-on/S-off" section near the bottom where it says "workaround"). Note: the last step says to change the target hosts files to "/data/data/hosts" but that didn't work when I did it, but using the "default" the "/system/etc/hosts" did.

Changing the location of the host files did nothing for me, but going into recovery, mounting usb, and then running "adb shell" and then creating the symbolic link by running the command "ln -s /data/data/hosts /system/etc/hosts" worked :)

edit.... that worked until I rebooted - can't get it to work now, prob gonna flash nandroid backup :/
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] muffnman:
Restoring brought back albums as well as AdAway functionality. Additionally, it brought back functions I didn't even know were missing from the People app. Good intentions were meant, no doubt, but the script is heavily flawed. I don't recommend others use it at this point. Just disable unwanted apps via app management.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] bloodiedwraith:
Yeah this debloat script just removes too much.

Unfortunately I never did a backup before I flashed it because I wasn't expecting so many problems. I think I'm going to just wipe it and install either the stock deodexed or the other Sense rom in development.

Unless there's a zip I can flash that reverses everything this did?
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] mattmns:
Same thing happened here - went back to backup and it fixed the adaway issues. Seems strange that just removing the apps from the script would mess it up :/
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] muffnman:
Also should be noted that restoring made Foxfi more reliable. Zero glitches now.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] Fatvod:
I wonder if pesky bloat apps can be removed using titanium backup?
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] GrayBoltWolf:
No. They reappear on a reboot because of the write protection.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] Fatvod:
I attempted a factory reset using the built in tool on the phone but it did not restore the missing apps/functions. Any idea how to go about this? I want to re-bloat my phone, so to speak.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] cstrife999:
Since running this script it seems as though the "my Verizon" app doesn't connect. Any fixes?
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] Fatvod:
I am also yes. This script has done bad things to my phone and I cant figure out how to reverse it. Should have taken a nandroid.

Any way I can just reflash the stock rom to the phone?
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] GrayBoltWolf:
You can flash one of the ROMs in the development section.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] Fatvod:
Those are custom roms correct? I'd like to flash back to stock.

---------- Post added at 08:05 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:39 PM ----------

Another thing I've noticed is notification quick reply no longer shows up. Not sure if that's normal though.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] Syn Ack:
Can someone post some of the stock Verizon apps? This bloat removal killed my WiFi hotspot capabilities and I'd like it back. Supposedly the "Verizon" app is the one I'd need.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] GrayBoltWolf:
You need WifiRouter.apk
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] Syn Ack:
Ok well can someone yank theirs please? I figured it'd be easier than downloading a 1000mb ROM and just extracting the apk
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] GrayBoltWolf:
http://db.tt/9FQs2iZV

I am not sure how to get this on with the write protection though.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] Syn Ack:
I mean I can put it anywhere with root file manager. Just don't know where to put them.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] GrayBoltWolf:
The two files inside that zip belong in /system/app/. But I think the write protection will remove them upon a reboot.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] Syn Ack:
You're right. It did. Thanks for posting anyway. I'll just stick with my root WiFi tether app. Its not a big deal Noe that I know it's just a missing apk.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] GrayBoltWolf:
If somebody can male a flashable version for you then that would also work.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] xenakis:
Here's the WifiRouter.apk, in a zip to flash from recovery: http://db.tt/kaTJ55Pf

Let me know if it works and maybe I'll put together a full re-bloat zip with all the removed apks or a tutorial on how to do it.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] GrayBoltWolf:
Do you have wifirouter.odex in there also?
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] xenakis:
I pulled it from Andybones' Deodexed Rom so the apk is deodexed, so no separate .odex file needed. It shouldn't make a difference, but here's the same zip with the odexed apk: http://db.tt/aHiAAcvB
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] Frankie1588:
None of the flashable zips to get Mobile Hotspot back worked for me. I tried to make my own via AndyBones empty flashable zip and xenakis odex file and it worked. I figured I would share it if anyone else had trouble flashing the previous zips.

[Verizon HTC One (M7)] kinglime:
Is there a way to make like our own custom versions of this to remove certain apps? I'm a fairly adept programmer so if someone could point me in the right direction that would be amazing. There's several apps I currently have disabled but I'd love to just remove.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] GrayBoltWolf:
In the zip find a file called "updater-script". Open with something like notepad++ and edit what you want. Then just drop it back in the zip.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] nrfitchett4:
does this take out whatever htc calls its OTA updater?
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] GrayBoltWolf:
It doesn't.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] nrfitchett4:
Ok, I've read that any apps uninstalled, get reinstalled after a reboot (say, using Titanium backup). Is that the case? Isn't there a way to uninstall apps through adb?

(or does being s-off change this)
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] GrayBoltWolf:
Yes, you would have to remove the apps through ADB while in recovery.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] andybones:
that or editing the updater-script.

hey what is the OTA app for HTC, COTAClient.apk?
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] nrfitchett4:
think its the updater.apk is it not?
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] TachisAlopex:
Thanks Gray! I think I did find one small type in the updater script:

"ADemoFLOPackageInstaller.odex" should be call "DemoFLOPackageInstaller.odex" (or the other way around... can't remember from last night)

Also my messages stopped working. I'm not sure if that's the script, or something from "PermissionsDenied" that I was messing with. (probably the ladder). A restore from backup fixed it. That's why I started to go though the script and was doing everything manually, and saw the A and couldn't find the relevant file.

Thanks again!

[Verizon HTC One (M7)] tedescop:
If there are apps that I do not ant to remove can I delete the 2 lines referencing the apk and odex of an app in the updater script and that will leave it installed?

Yes.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] steddora:

[Verizon HTC One (M7)] GrayBoltWolf:
You can't debloat in titanium anyway, that's what this is for. :)
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] Tigerstown:
Huh your zip don't uninstall apps that r pre installed?

---------- Post added at 09:35 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:33 PM ----------

I used this zip but I always thought before on all my other phones when I would uninstall system/pre loaded apps I was deboalting? That is not true?
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] GrayBoltWolf:
This zip removes the apps in the list in the OP.

I am not sure what you mean.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] mlin:
I'm confused. Why can't you debloat with TB? Used the script BTW. Worked great, thanks!
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] xdadevnube:
Quick question regarding this script.

If I have a bunch of stuff frozen with Ti Backup, which was my way of "debloating", will the script still be able to remove the bloat without have to unfreeze first? I wasn't sure if Titanium moves the app files somewhere temporary, or if it removes permissions or something of that nature.

Also, I am running Eclipse, would that matter?
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] GrayBoltWolf:
It should.

HTC has write protection on the phone, so if you try to remove a system app, it is not actually deleted and is restored when you reboot. Any removals have to be done in recovery.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] xdadevnube:
Is there a way to disable write protection altogether or even toggle it on or off? It sounds like a ROM feature.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] GrayBoltWolf:
Nobody has ported the method yet.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] HypostaticOnion:
Once you're s-off it doesn't matter.

If I've helped, please hit the thanks button
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] GrayBoltWolf:
What doesn't matter?

S-Off does not remove write protection.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] HypostaticOnion:
I thought it did. I mean, how else is su supposed to stick?

If I've helped, please hit the thanks button
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] GrayBoltWolf:
SU is flashed through recovery.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] HypostaticOnion:
So it has to do with while booted? I guess that makes sense.

If I've helped, please hit the thanks button
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] GrayBoltWolf:
Just installing SU through the Play store after s-off will not give you root.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] Tigerstown:
You said I can't deboalt with titanium backup an I'm asking huh? Cause I use that to remove boalt apps from the system/app. The same apps in this OP you can remove from system/app via titanium backup.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] GrayBoltWolf:
You are removing system apps with titanium and they stay gone after a reboot?
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] Tigerstown:
Yessir also I switch some pre installed apps I want to keep to user apps so I can greenify them
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] XPEric:
Can you make one that doesn't remove My Verizon, Stocks, and Chrome?
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] GrayBoltWolf:
MyVerizon and Chrome you can install out of the Play store. As well as a stocks app.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] xdadevnube:
Or just edit it out of the script.

---------- Post added at 11:07 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:03 AM ----------

[/COLOR]Is there a good resource regarding VZW or Google spyware/crapware installed on the HTC One? The Carrier IQ debacle has me wondering what I need to disable. It seems that AOSP with standard gapps is a good option, I just wonder what else I should remove other than the stuff in the script. This script is sweet btw.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] AznInertia:
Can you please make a debloater that doesn't remove Facebook from Blinkfeed? I'm thinking it removes the facebook service that's why I don't see it in this rom.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] Tigerstown:
You can't just add Facebook back to blinkfeed? Just curious
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] AznInertia:
I figured out what is wrong, the debloater removes 3 Facebook apks

Facebook_Client.apk (in \system\app)

Facebook.apk (in \system\app)

And one more that is loaded from the Play Store ( think these are the service files that you need so it will pop up in BlinkFeed)
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] steveg545:
I'm experiencing the Google syncing issue as well.

Has this been resolved? Or at least identified in the .zip somewhere?
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] Robertjm:
Is there a list somewhere that explains WHAT those programs are? Some are pretty obvious. But, some I have no idea exactly what they are and may not want to remove them without knowing.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] ChwyNiblet:
Looks like the link to the full bloatware removal is corrupt. Any chance you could reupload it? Thanks!
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] GrayBoltWolf:
The file is corrupt?

Goo.im seems to be having issues right now.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] ChwyNiblet:
Yeah, when I try to decompress the .zip file it says that the file is damaged. I've tried multiple times, the Verizon only one is fine though, just the full de-bloat file.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] GrayBoltWolf:
You shouldn't be decompressing anything. Just flash the zip in recovery.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] ChwyNiblet:
I understand that, but even in recovery the flash fails because the file is corrupted.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] GrayBoltWolf:
I assume you have tried to download it multiple times.

[Verizon HTC One (M7)] fader01:
Might sound silly but .... do you have an app to put the bloat back on so you can take the OTA... then use the original app to remove it again :)
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] GrayBoltWolf:
Don't ever take an OTA if you want to keep root. Wait until ROMs are updated or someone posts a flashable update.

Besides, the debloater doesn't remove the VZW OTA app, so an OTA will still come through. But it will fail since you have a custom recovery.

Actually, I just found this: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2485319

Use this and flash just what you want from the OTA.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] santod040:
Rooted stock roms are uploading.

If you really really want that OTA, flash my full odexed .10 stock rom, and let it take the OTA...

You will also need to flash the stock recovery first after flashing .10 but before taking the OTA.

Or could simply go grab the .15 rooted roms that are uploading now in the same thread. :)
