AOSP Marshmallow & Nougat Deloating Flashables

Description

Debloating Scripts for AOSP Marshmallow & Nougat.

Disclaimer

I am not responsible for anything that happens to your device. By downloading and flashing or installing these zips, you automatically agree that I won't be held liable for anything that happens to your phone.

Background

I've created some flashable scripts to remove unwanted applications ('debloat') from AOSP-based Marshmallow and Nougat Nexus 5 ROMS.

These scripts, when installed, should minimize redundant versions of similar applications that arise when installing Google Applications (GApps) on custom AOSP ROMS.

THERE IS NO NEED TO RUN THESE SCRIPTS ON FACTORY ROMS! Factory ROMs from Google come pre-installed with GApps

THE REMOVAL PROCESS IS PERMANENT! When you run these scripts, the listed applications and their folders are deleted. If you inadvertently delete an app that you actually wanted to keep, you'll have to manually reinstall it from your custom ROM image, or reinstall the ROM.

Installation

PLEASE ASK QUESTIONS IF YOU HAVE THEM!

BEFORE attempting to run these scripts, download, install, and configure the replacement applications FIRST, then run the scripts.

An Example: if you remove the AOSP Keyboard (LatinIME) before installing the Google Keyboard, you won't be able to search for items in the Play Store, as you'll have no way of inputting text.

Your GApps provider may have specific instructions on installing certain applications. Please thoroughly read the documentation and notes your GApps "flavor" provides.

These debloating scripts are provided in a "flashable" ZIP archive. Copy the file to the storage/sdcard area of your phone, reboot to recovery (TWRP), "Install" the script, then reboot.

GOOD LUCK!

NOTE 1: On the Nexus 5,

running Nougat

:

Google Camera is not available from the PlayStore in some countries using this Play Store Link.

Google Camera - creates/throws green video alternating frames; photos are fine.

AOSP Camera and Footej - take good photos, but have no HDR+ support; some users report jitters on the left side of the screen in recorded videos.

OpenCamera - takes good photos, supports HDR+; some users report jitters on the left side of the screen in recorded videos.

At this time OpenCamera is highly recommended.

NOTE 2:

For Nougat

, per DeltaDroid in this POST, the following PlayStore GApps (AND ONLY THESE GAPPS FROM THE LIST BELOW) can still be flashed to /system:

Calculator

Calendar

Calendar Sync Adapter

Clock

Cloud Print
