If I stop the system like I've been doing I don't see why framework modifications are not a possibility. I'll play around tonight when my wife and daughter are sleeping.

Update it seems there is ONLY a deodexed version of the framework patch for NAtive Wifi Tether Bypass. Until I play more the only thing we can offer is adb installing X Tether and Xposed.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] kingsley404:
Thanks for this, used it to remove some bloatware i missed!!!
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] armeN0317:
Would like to see flashlight pull down toggle added if it exists for the verizon s5 yet.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] Dennisg34:
...this isn't that type of program. That's something you can either download from the playstore for a custom toggle switch, or wait for ROMs to come out. Or do what I did and download Xposed and added the long press volume up button that enables flashlight with phone off.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] GuestK00202:
Dennis your signature is killin me! haha What would be even better is if it was functional right from your signature. lmao!
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] DelonHolmes:
I was about to use the remove bloatware, but why does it remove chrome dafuq
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] GuestK00202:
Cause Opera, Dolphin Browser HD, firefox are better...

Just to name a few...
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] GuestK00202:
Also if you want apps that got removed there is a link to those in the OP ;)
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] DelonHolmes:
Noob question, if i remove all that stuff, will i be able to reinstall some apps that come off the playstore?
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] GuestK00202:
Yes
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] GuestK00202:
If you (or someone else) wants to take the time to edit the necessary files for this to work I'd be more then willing to add it to the tool.

The procedure can be found here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2617552

I am at work and do not have time to decompile / recompile these files. Nor are we allowed to have such software on our PC's (APKTOOL)

Like I said, if someone wants to edit the files and recompile them. Send them to my e-mail Sharpie603@gmail.com and I will add this function to the TOOLKIT
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] purplepenguin:
Thanks! It also picks up the new privacy preserving (end-to-end encryption) alpha chat program Tox as a general trojan incorrectly.

Elliwigy's script is super awesome btw.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] :
Good to know. I'll add his debloat script to the toolkit soon.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] elliwigy:
have at it! when i have time ill be adding more to debloat.. theres a lot of hidden files that r useless really
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] :
Updated to Version 1.9

OP has been updated with Toolkit Ver. 1.9​

Changelog for 1.9

- Updated SuperSU to Ver 2.40

- Added The Purge to the debloat list, thanks to [MENTION=3812611]elliwigy[/MENTION]

ANK2

I am assuming it will not work with the latest ANK2? I just picked up this s5 and it is running this build. TIA

PS. new to VZ.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] elliwigy:
you have to odin to an older firmware to root the device first..
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] Spartan117H3:
I keep getting this message even after meeting all the criteria. I recently did the update to 4.4.4 and rerooted as well, so I have all my bloatware back.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] elliwigy:
might be missing something here but i believe you need to press y or n to select if you want to back up the apks before debloating...

i do not see the error?
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] Spartan117H3:
The two lines that say:

system/bin/sh: su: not found

That and it not removing anything like it used to (I can hit Y, but it will say cannot find the first three apps, then it will exit saying 3 bloat have been removed). Is it possible that it's because I'm using SuperSU instead of a different superuser app? I've used this debloat tool before, but I can't figure out why it stopped working for me.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] elliwigy:
did you try it with superuser instead of supersu?make sure debugging is enabled as well. it looks like its not finding root which would prevent it from working properly. im sure if u cant figure it out op will fix when he has time
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] Spartan117H3:
I'd just have to remove SuperSU completely, and install superuser from the app store? Isn't it outdated/2012? Not sure if it still works.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] elliwigy:
i dont see that being the problem but essentially yes lol especially since supersu appears to be in the toolkit

Extreme Syndicate | The PURGE
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] Spartan117H3:
No dice, same error (superuser not found) with the other superuser installed. It's interesting, I got this to work when I first rooted my phone, but I don't know why it doesn't work anymore and never worked with my brother's S5.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] eggwardo:
Is your phone actually rooted? Can you run apps that require root?

Sent from my SM-G900V
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] Spartan117H3:
Yup, safestrap, root explorer in root mode (can remount to r/w), titanium backup also in root mode, and root checker confirms.

Tried different USB ports, tried my brother's laptop once, with his phone when he brought his over.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] :
Try downloading SuperSU from the market, open it, then make sure the SU Binaries are updated.

Also, double check all prerequisites:

- You have updated USB drivers installed

- USB Debugging is turned on

- Unknown Sources is on

- Root device before debloating or using MOD's

- SU Binary's are updated

Have you tried to continue with the de-bloating to see what happens?
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] Spartan117H3:
Yeah, all of that was properly done. However, this time, I got this error:

Error: more than one device or emulator

Then I looked it up, turns out that it was because your toolkit was trying to hook onto BlueStacks, an Android emulator that I had installed on my computer (my brother has the same thing installed which is why it didn't work on his either), and there's no option to choose which process adb hooks to. So once I killed all BlueStacks processes, the toolkit can now debloat properly/attach to the proper phone.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] :
Awesome! I'm glad you were able to figure it out.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] thesmashippy:
The toolkit doesn't recognize my phone at all. I have my settings right, also I have correct drivers. Any ideas?
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] energyracing:
Just got an S5 today coming from an S4. I see on the OP it says this won't work with NI2. I checked and I have NK2. Knowing how they release these alphabetically, I'm assuming this won't work on NK2 either. Correct?

If so, do I revert my firmware as suggested in the thread linked in the OP? http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=55347753&postcount=19

Thanks guys.

EDIT: Nevermind, found a post mentioning NK2. Search was slacking on me. ;)

What did I remove in the debloater that caused the voice answer to disappear in the answering/ending calls under call settings. Thanks.

Will this Work for my Galaxy s5 g900v with lollipop 5.0 installed, all i want to do is remove verizons boot anamation.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] :
If you have root on 5.0 then it might work. I am not running lollipop yet so I have no way of testing. If Android 5.0 is still using the "bootsamsung.qmg" file in the Root/systems/media DIR then I see no reason why it wouldn't work.

Once again, if you do NOT have root then NO it will NOT work.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] brackett5:
I'm guessing this doesn't work with Verizon S5 with 5.0???
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] eggwardo:
Is there root for 5.0? This toolkit is just that, a toolkit.

Yes one of the tools originally was installing the root tool. But if there is no root tool to install then this won't be worth anything.

Sorry I don't have any answers, my phone has updates blocked and as far as I know my wife's phone isn't on 5.0 yet. I'm just drunkish and trying to be helpful and polite.

Love you , have a nice night.

When I choose to root I get this error:

Looks like the tr.apk is not there inteh folde.

Any thoughts?

thanks
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] :
Yeah, you either moved files around or your anti-virus application discarded the file on you. Most anti virus programs flag it because it's a hack tool. aka an exploit.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] rdefino:
thanks, didn't think of that.

Will this toolkit root lollipop 5?

thanks again.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] :
This Toolkit uses the TowelRoot method provided by GeoHot. From what I understand he has only released Version 3. Which should support all phones < jun 3 2014.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] andsmith79:

Hi All - I just ordered a new Galaxy S5 from Verizon and am wondering if this root method will still work on newly purchased phones. I have no idea on any of the specs of the new phone as I have not received it yet.

[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] NSDroider:
Very cool! thanks!!!! BUT after trying both selective and all to de-bloat I keep getting to the point where it only removes 1 bloatware item. I saw others on the thread had similar issues but not sure if they were ever resolved. I've had success changing the boot animations so I think I'm communicating ok with phone. Any idea how to fix this?

Thanks again in advance.

I'm having the same issues. I tried on multiple browsers/computers/connections. looks like the link expired on mediafire.

I already have SS installed and am using Rom Slot-1 to run Beanstown's Stock Odex ROM. How can I use this to remove bloat from this Rom Slot?
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] xboxexpert:
Same way you would use it on the stock. Enable Dev Options by clicking Build 7 times in About through Settings. Then Enable USB Debugging. Run this script as long as the drivers are installed it should work all just the same.

Yeah bluestacks...perhaps? If so.

Goto run > Services.msc

Stop the bluestacks services then goto command where the AIO toolkit resides and run it again.

I've updated the OP with a new download link. Added option to install safestrap

Please help make this ALL-IN-ONE better and give your opinions on what to add / remove. Thanks
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] BrandonB1218:
Not sure what the problem is, I run your tool to debloat but it just says rm failed for <whatever it's trying to remove>, no such file or directory and all the apk's are still on my phone...
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] :
Open supersu on your phone and make sure your su binary's are updated.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] BrandonB1218:
Did that but cannot find any option to check for su binary updates, and supersu did not prompt me to update them, running supersu 2.00 which appears to be the latest version.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] :
Try u installing towel root and reinstalling it. Just tested this today before updating and worked flawlessly.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] BrandonB1218:
Very odd indeed, the apk's are no longer appearing in either app directories, but for example Audible and Google Hangouts are still accessible in the apps menu, they even launch. I was thinking maybe apps2sd had something to do with it but neither of those apps were moved to the SD card.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] xboxexpert:
/data/app

You did some updates for those apps. Just uninstall them normally or get in there with root explorer and manually remove the apk package.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] jpmcnown:
I may be having the same problem. Though, other aspects of the toolkit are working for me (Samsung Drivers/Rooting/Installing SafeStrap/and adding call recording mod), neither Bloatware removal options are working for me. I get the same error you do. I'm bored, so I'm going to ODIN back to stock, and see if something else I've done since trying the toolkit is having an affect on it.

**EDIT: So I reverted to stock via odin, installed TowelRoot and SuperSU without issue(set default to Grant). I checked all the typical stuff in Security Settings, and Developer Options, updated SuperSu, and the binaries. All Samsung drivers are installed properly. When opening ADB, I got the RSA Fingerprint notification, and allowed it. Not sure what's going on, but the bloatware removal aspects of the toolkit are not working.

[MENTION=5658338]RiceRocket954[/MENTION] is revamping the selective de-bloat script, as some of you seem to be having issues removing bloat. I will be posting an update of the toolkit shortly.

Who is willing to test?
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] SoCalSpecialist:
i keep gettin the following error:

error:device not found

-waiting for device-

any ideas as to why or a fix please?
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] :
1: Make sure you have Samsung USB drivers Ver.1.5.42.0 installed

2: Go to your developer options and revoke USB debugging authorization (for good measure)

3: Plug your phone in and wait for it to connect as a Media Device (MTP)

4: Run the Toolkit again.

If this does not work, PM me

**Edit** I am uploading an updated Toolkit right now.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] :
OP has been updated with TOOLKIT v1.3​

This version has updated safestrap, updated towelroot and gives you the option to save/backup bloatware before de-bloating.

If someone would be kind enough to test, it would be greatly appreciated.​

I just FINALLY got around to debloating this phone. Now, I am unable to touch the install button when I try to manually install an apk file. Nor am I able to access the download section on the camera app.

I just ODIN'ed back to stock to see what you are talking about.

Once on stock I used the toolkit to root, safestrap and debloat. I ran into no issues at all. You must of removed something on your own that caused issues.

Try using odin to go back to stock and try again..

[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] :
The custom unlock icon does not mean your KNOX is tripped. The unlock icon appears whenever a system change is made (Switching from Dalvik to ART), rooting, giving SuperSU rights to apps, installing a recovery, etc.

How did everything else in the tool work? It would be nice to have some feedback.

[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] kgoroway:
Just bumped into this:

***WARNING***

This process can take up to 5-10 minutes as you

manually choose (Y/N) for each application.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Do you still wish to continue (Y/N)?y

Save APKs before removing (Y/N)?y

\Toolkit\Bloat\ was unexpected at this time.

(this also happens it I chose not to Save APKs) so I can't selectively de-bloat at all with 1.5.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] :
Looking into this..
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] kgoroway:
I suspect something on my end...Should my phone reboot after installing busybox? Doesn't seem like it should have to, but it does...and after reboot, busybox is no where to be found...
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] :
Yes your phone will reboot after installing. This is because I have stopped the shell of the device to prevent people from using the phone while system changes are being made. When installing BusyBox it does not install a busybox.apk. This installs all the shell commands that busy box uses. You wont see a Busybox app. Busybox is a list of shell commands that super user uses and commands that safestrap needs to function properly.

If you'd like to verify the installation, download BusyBox on rails from the Play Store. FYI. This will show missing applets, this is expected as it only installs the BASIC commands. You do not need all of the applets.

I'll be releasing a new toolkit today at some point. My guess is yes, this issue might be on your end. are you running this from a location that does not have permissions to create directories?
