[ZTE Axon 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] Kinanizer:
I'm working on trying to make a custom ROM and I noticed that there is no complete debloat list for the Axon 7 that I could find. Honestly the bloat on this device really isn't that bad, most of the preloaded apps I actually use. Although I am learning about making custom ROMs and debloating is part of that learning, and I figure someone may find this useful. Now this is by now means a complete or thoroughly tested list. It will be it just isn't yet, so in the meantime feel free to make any comments that may help.

Without further adue, the list:

Of course the google framework should be removable and I'm trying to remove it but it's giving me a lot of problems. Furthermore it is possible to remove Dolby Atmos, and thanks to lokissmile here's the explanation:

There are a lot of ringtones and alarm sounds built in, they can be found at "media/audio". Clock Alert Tone is the really annoying alarm tone that you may want to keep.

Also it is possible to remove the built-in launcher if you replace with your own. I'm not sure how the process would work from within android, but if you're making a ROM there are 3 launcher folders in "system/priv-app" and 2 in "system/app". You will also find a folder "etc/custom_config/app/Launcher" that can be removed.

Another note, the messaging app and dialer can be removed but if you actually plan to use your phone you'll need to have a replacement for those. Personally I prefer to use Signal Private Messenger as my text messaging application.

After removing all apps on the list, replacing the launcher with Nova Launcher, and the messaging app with Signal I was able to reduce the amount of system data by ~1.2GB. There's a lot more I think I can get rid and I know the google framework is a sizable chunk, I'm just having a lot of problems with it.

Thanks to SuperR for a great Kitchen to work in, and thanks to lokissmile who's tennitive list on his HelsAx7.SubMix helped me start this list ( I also copied that first thank you from him too).
