OK, so I've used Extreme twice and both times, afterward, if I go to recovery, wipe cache/wipe data and reboot, the Setup app fails to complete successfully. Setup fails right after Google account setup and the app keeps restarting preventing getting to the homescreen.

Something in Extreme is not stable.

So far I only know how to get out of this loop by odin to 4.4.4, towelroot, flash OV5, then OE1 and try again.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 General] muniz_ri:
The debloater has only been tested after the device has gone through the setup wizard.

Can anyone else validate that the extreme option makes the device unstable after a factory data reset? thx
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 General] blair.sadewitz:
The problem with Extreme is that it doesn't delete both setup wizards. You can use the flashable zip I posted instead--that should work.

---------- Post added at 02:49 AM ---------- Previous post was at 02:46 AM ----------

Yeah, I vouch for that. The problem is that it doesn't delete SamsungSetupWizard _and_ SetupWizard, so one tries to invoke the other, fails, and restarts.

The flashable zip I uploaded works--unelss I uploaded the wrong one from my mess of a 'work' directory.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 General] muniz_ri:
Thanks, I have added the setupwizard, youtube and accessories apps.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 General] xxxstar:
I can confirm that Extreme now accepts a factory data reset. Thanks!! This really is a great time saver.

A couple of thoughts on the script execution: I find I have to run it twice to get the list of apps to scroll in the command window and to fully clear out the apps from the device. May be associated with the timing of the USB debugging request on the device and when the commands are sent.

For future feature, it would be helpful to have a popup on the device to indicate completion and status, e.g. "x of y apps successfully deleted", etc. I don't even know if that's possible via adb.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 General] blair.sadewitz:
There could be a level above "Extreme", which is basically removal of anything which is not integral to the system booting and, let's say, running apps you install which don't require Samsung-specific features/support.

Maybe call it "Ludicrous" ("Ludicrous Speed" from "Spaceballs") or "Slash-and-burn"? ;) It should leave you with a play store and the phone app, maybe.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 General] muniz_ri:
The tool will only show an message/error if there was an issue deleting a file, so if you go from starting the process to seeing "done!" without any error message in between you can assume there were no errors and all files were successfully deleted.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 General] mat2332:
Any issue with updates in the future?

Will there be any issue with updates in the future if I am debloated? I remember debloating a while back causing all sorts of issues.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 General] muniz_ri:
Yes, ota updates will fail.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 General] mat2332:
Is there a way to "rebloat" with your program?
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 General] speedycuban:
Verified. I did the extreme debloat and then a factor reset. Setup failed after logging into gmail. Only fix was to go back to NCG and root and flash back to OE1
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 General] blair.sadewitz:
I have a flashable zip that I have tested, and it works, but only if I use Safestrap or tell Flashfire (by using "mount common paths") to mount /system beforehand.

https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=24052804347772843

There has to be some stupid error in there. I also attempted to do what you did in the ROM zip with wipedata.sh, and it still doesn't work. ARGH. Feeling pretty stoked at failing to run like three commands.

---------- Post added at 09:16 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:15 AM ----------

Both setup wizards have to be deleted. The batch files were updated, I think.

---------- Post added at 09:55 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:16 AM ----------

Oh, also, there is more stuff to delete, e.g. all of the voices for SVoice. No sense keeping that around if it's deleted. There's plenty more besides that.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 General] AJC1616:
Has anyone tried getting rid of the vz apps? I have no use for them except message+ and voicemail
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 General] Alchemist29:
I must be doing something wrong. I've run Extreme debloat twice, first time it showed no errors, second time it showed errors, but now the apps it was supposed to move, like S Health and Message+ are still there.

I tried going into recovery and wiping cache partition, but that did nothing. Am I totally lost?
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 General] xxxstar:
Wow- I've been reading through DeBloater.bat using Windows Notepad app. Not fun- that is for sure. Painful. Downloaded Notepad++ and opened the batch file up in it. Wow. Can't believe I put off installing it for so long!! Colors, formatting, oh my! :)

---------- Post added at 06:37 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:17 PM ----------

Regarding Medium & Extreme: I'm seeing that ANT+ is not usable in the Wahoo Fitness app, even after reinstalling "ANT+ Plugins Service" and "ANT Radio Service" from Play Store. Looking at DeBloater.bat I'm guessing this might be related to the Samsung AntHalService app. This app is not available via Play Store and functionality appears to not work without it so I don't recommend it is debloated. Any athlete users with ANT+ heart rate monitors, etc., will need this functionality.

Also, would someone be so kind to explain to me what the procedure would to restore an individual app that was debloated? I'm hoping there's an easier solution than reinstalling OE1 and setting up the phone from scratch. I'd just like to sideload the AntHalService to test this out.

I tried changing my HTC One M8_WHL PVT SHIP S-OFF into developer edition using the guide on http://htc-one.wonderhowto.com/how-...edition-for-super-fast-sense-updates-0156524/ . I successfully changed the MID and the CID without breaking a sweat. After, I used TWRP to restore the backup which the guide instructed me to download and restore. After restoring that backup, device could only boot HBOOT. Now I tried running the RUU.exe for Developer Edition and I get the error which asks that I run the correct RUU for the device. Now, the device doesn't boot pass HBOOT

What I can do ...

1. Boot into TWRP recovery

2. Give fastboot commands with HBOOT

3. Boot into RUU via fastboot

What I can't do ...

1. Boot the device

2. Revert the MID change to its original state cos I will need to run ADB Shell to do that, which cannot be done from HBOOT

3. No RUU.exe is responding to flashing the device

The specific help I need ...

1. Be able to Change MID using Fastboot so I can run a SPRINT RUU

Hi!

I just got my m8 in the mail today, It was still on 4.4 so I unlocked/s-off'd using sunshine. Now my question is, if I am still on a completely stock 4.4, can I install the 5.0 OTA or will I run into problems? I have searched around and got varying answers and people reporting different amounts of success, so I just thought that I would ask myself.

Thanks!

Zach
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] beaups:
You can take the ota, no problem.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] Zach092:
Awesome thanks, and also thanks for your work on sunshine! This is the second device I've s-offed with it and its just so much easier than any other method I've ever used.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 General] :
If you own a Galaxy S5, you likely hate that it comes with

tons of "bloatware" or "crapware" that you've never opened.

There are many Windows-only tutorials and programs that don't

offer great ways to change what you're deleting.

So, I've written a Galaxy S5 Bloatware Removal Automator for Mac OS X and Linux.

It runs on all Unix based machines and guides you

through removing unwanted apps from your phone.

Written for the Verizon Galaxy S5, but will technically work on

ALL GS5 VARIANTS.... I have not tested it on other Android

versions than 5.0 and 4.4.4, but please do and comment with your status.

Usage:

There are 4 main menu options: each is described in detail when you run the script.

--Slight Debloat--

--Normal Debloat--

--Extreme Debloat--

--Custom Debloat--

If you want exact control over what to uninstall, choose Custom Debloat!

Requirements:

a). Your phone must be rooted!

a). You must be running Mac OS X, Ubuntu, Debian, Kali Linux, etc.

b). adb should be installed on your computer, and you must know how to run it.

How to Use:

1). Download and save the .zip file (see bottom of post).

2). Unzip the folder, then navigate to the new unzipped folder

3). Run the script (bash shell in your Terminal)

4). The script will instruct you and guide you through the process of debloating your phone.

Be sure to read all of the prompts, warnings, and instructions that are

shown to you! Failure to read carefully could cause you a big headache.

SOURCE CODE: github.com/akaplo/Verizon_GalaxyS5_DebloatScript

Good luck!

[Galaxy Grand Prime Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] The_Mechanic_Br:
Knox: what exactly?

Last September, the 2013 Edition 2 Unpacked event, Samsung Electronix officially unveiled the Samsung Knox as a complete security system for the devices, which protect from the hardware to the application layer through a container that creates an execution space and secure data storage.

And what is? In fact, elefoi created especially for the business sector in order to promote the so-called BYOD (Bring Your Own Device - "bring your own device") bringing tools that eliminate risks such as leakage of confidential data or the dreaded industrial espionage. Initially, he was released with the new Galaxy Note 3 but was incorporated with other Samsung devices with the upgrade to Android 4.3. The applications that run outside of this Container have limited access to stored data. That's where the problem arises.

Knox: how to disable?

I imagine that many root users after upgrading to Android 4.3 received warnings that the SuperSu application was blocked, which is due to Knox protection.

To fix this there are some methods that will allow us to re-use applications such as SuperSu or RootChecker, but we can not reset the counter flashes. This new Knox assurance system is immovable, at least I9505 model.

To disable Samsung Knox you can follow in the footsteps of Samsung's support page:

Enter the Samsung Knox app and click "Settings."

Click "Knox Configuration".

Click "Uninstall Knox".

When uninstalling Knox, it asks if you want to perform a backup of your Knox datos. The data will be saved during the uninstall process in the device Knox folder. To make a backup copy of your data Knox, click "Backup Now", otherwise click OK.

Important: personal data such as photos, music files, contacts and calendar events will be copied during uninstallation. However, email and application data will not be copied.

Enter the password for Samsung Knox and click "Continue".

Click "Next". Your data will be saved before they complete the uninstallation.

Click "OK" to uninstall Knox.

Eml click "Menu"> "My files"> "All"> "Knox". He will make a zip file with all their personal content from Knox.

Note: If you have a microSD card, select "All"> "storage device"> "Knox".

If Samsung is not the best option for you, you can also do the same by following these steps, which require root access:

Install "Root Explorer".

Execute "Root Explorer" and seek Knox in demand.

Select all files that have the name Knox.

Delete them and restart your Samsung device.

Open the application and search the Samsung Knox ...

... Then select and delete all files found If none of these methods work, the XDA Developers forum offers a file to disable Knox by recovery:

Perform a backup or backup of all the information on your device.

Make Flash of the following file provided by XDA Developers: KNOX removerV2.1.zip. (Go to page: XDA-Developers).

Delete all the files Knox.

Restart the device.

What do you think of Samsung Knox? It is a security program or control and limitation?

I am running CM12 ( nightlies, forgot the version, but updated month ago ) on my Note2 N7005lte.

It happened when i running the game "plant vs zombie2" with low battery power. The phone auto shutdown when the power was low. When i try to turn it back on, it stuck on the samsung logo post screen for more then 10sec and then i reboot it again by removing the battery and turn it on again. This times the loading time is back to normal but it "optimizing app" while booting. Once it loaded completely, I found i lost all the data including accounts, photo , files ( i checked with file manager ) , sms and apps. just like did a factory reset.

Any idea why is this happened ? CM12 ? lollipop bugs ? or the game ...

Thanks.

Hello, my name is Sunicito from Venezuela:laugh:.

I've got a Huawei UM840 Known in my country as "Huawei Evolution 1", it is a very old and low-spec phone could only run Android 2.3.7 Gingerbread. I installed it with the CyanogenMod7, the rom and the installation guide was on a Venezuelan forum.

I've got to say the rom runs pretty smoothly and it doesnt lags (considering this phone stock rom is Eclair2.1 upgradeable to Froyo2.2 officially) so i am very happy with 2.3.7.

Everything was going fine with the phone and the rom but i have seen a problem with the notifications bar, specially when i slide it down, the notification letters show in dark as the background of the "sliding dock" so it is very hard to read what says unless i pass the finger trough it.

I Took screenshots for better understanding of my problem:

This is what normally happens when you slide the notifications bar: i.imgur. com/46hqPbp.png

This is what happens when you pass the finger trough it: imgur. com/EhHqzLl.png

So, my question is; what can i do to make those letters at least blank? i know CyanogenMod is very customizable and also this Rom came with ADWLauncher as stock launcher. I mean, its there any twerk that i can modify to get it at least readable?

I came to you becouse you know very well of these situations, i googled a lot but i didnt find anything.

I apologize for my bad english, im studying it so maybe in a future you will see a better understanding on my threads!

Greetings and thanks so much if you read this.

I hope that you can help me to find a solution! ;) :good:

[Galaxy S6 Edge Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cocolish:
My S6 edge has some troubles in sending pictures/photos via NFC. I used to share an awesome wallpaper to a friend of mine, an HTC One M7 owner today and it worked perfectly fine. After trying to share some more, it gave me that trouble message saying: "Beaming not completed. File has not sent!". And for now, I happened to get that failure to every single picture/photo I'm planned on sharing via NFC. Ironically, I'm allowed to share website links and apps but when it comes to pics/photos nothing works all of a sudden and I even have to deal with trouble messages as mentioned above ( "Beaming not completed. File has not sent!").

I used to debloat my S6 edge a couple of days ago via Gatesjuniors Debloater tool and I was pretty bullish on what I have removed, but for now I'm all worried.

Any ideas on how to get full functional NFC on my S6 edge back, would be much appreciated.

I've just rooted and installed Viper ROM on my ATT HTC m9 and everything works great except I can't receive phone calls. The phone never even rings. I've also flashed ICE and ARHD with no success receiving phone calls. If I restore to a TWRP backup of stock the phone works perfectly so it's obviously something to do with the ROM.

I've checked the other posts on here and none of the fixes have worked, yet. I wanted to try to RUU but whenever I run the RUU application (windows 8.1) the progress bar to initialize the setup completes and the program closes. It never does a flash. I've tried running as admin, disabling services, and running in Win7 compatibility mode to no success.

Do any of you have any ideas on either of these?
[AT&T HTC One (M9)] devvvin:
I've got the same issue. From what I can tell, it's cause AT&T rolled out their VoLTE, voice over LTE or whatever they call it, and that's causing the issues. If you switch to 3g, do you receive calls?
