[OnePlus 5 Questions & Answers] Vlad_z:
Try with basic steps. Factory reset then:

1) Have totally stock OP5 - no "battery saving tricks", no apps. Run a bit. What is SOT? If less then average of 5-6 hours - either you have a "curse"/NSA tracking you or defective hardware.

2) Install your "battery saving trick" one by one testing after now and then. Are there any improvements in SOT? If yes, then write your wiki page, share your findings :). If not, write your wiki page and tell us what application is a culprit.

3) Rinse and repeat until no more application left to install or you got bored.

I'm getting incredibly poor battery life after the latest update. I haven't let it fully deplete yet so maybe it just needs recalibrated?
[OnePlus 5 Questions & Answers] Jackson1231:
There`s alot of sstuff activated on your 1+5. Try turning it off and check the SoT afterwards. Also some people were complaining because their Android-System was consuming way too much energy.
[OnePlus 5 Questions & Answers] yubimusubi:
Oops, I meant to follow up on this. Android System and Google Play were causing a lot of wakelocks. I cleared cache in the Google Play and Google Services apps sad now I'm back to my typical 6-7 hours SoT.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] PsiPhiDan:
Does anyone have experience running the full Pixel launcher (modded one that must be sideloaded) on a Note device? I've heard it's beautifully smooth and works 100% on any phone, but the Note is an entirely different animal. Do you lose any S-pen features? Would you lose the side bar thing that launches the dual app menu? Anything else you'd miss?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] eric082684:

Many thanks for your awesome work! I have a question/request, if it's not too much for you - my phone is a SGN4 (Exynos) running this https://xdaforums.com/note-4/development/air-rom-v1-0-t3630284.

All is ok, but there are some apps (sys or priv) which I do not use - attached .zip with details.

Would it be too much for you to help me with your G-Killer to have those mentioned apps included for removal?

The GApps are removed by me, there are only 2 -WebView and App installer - for which I do not have alternatives.

Many, many thanks!
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] bam80:
Thank for the app.

Couple of questions:

Is it works for OpenGapps also?

Will it clean all /data parts which may be left by the Gapps? I mean, /data/data, etc. (didn't see /data in delete.sh script)

Would you share source code?

I've just flashed the latest extreme version zip on MIUIPRO 7.11.9 (MIUI-based custom rom) for Markw(Android 6.0.1) and ticked all of the checkboxes in the AROMA interface and then wiped cache and dalvik cache.After the reboot I've had some FC because the "PrebuiltGmsCore" folder in "system/priv-app" wasn't removed,I've done it by myself,rebooted and now I'm quite ok.

[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] partcyborg:
Just to clarify: you are deleting properly the Google services framework installed in /system/framework? What about the various XML configs?

Do we need to factory reset after to ensure all leftovers and dalvik cache are gone? Or does this do all that for you?

If this is more than just rm -rf /system/app/googlestuff && rm -rf/system/priv-app/googlestuff I too am very interested as I too want to use it to clean my stock rom for gapps Flashing, but if it's just deleting apks then I will keep looking

I would also like to know this information. I tried this on my N4 910V with a stock based MM 6.0 ROM and it seemed to remove all the google apps I selected. I just wonder if anything is left behind.

On other phones that I have (Nexus 6) a stable Lineage based ROM, I just never install gapps, but the N4 doesn't have any 100% functional non-touchwiz ROMS.

Thanks for this great app, this is much easier and faster than some other options I was contemplating trying out.

Edit: I tried the extreme g-killer which gets rid of all associated gapps files, and my ROM seems as stable as it was before. I will continue to test and see if there are any issues.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] K3V1991:
Wiping the Cache & Dalvik Cache is recommended

[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] signupstuffid:
If you have the right S5, you can unlock it and use an AOSP ROM and never install gapps. I have set up a verizon S5 this way. I just use the yalp store on f-droid.org to get the few apps from the play store that aren't available any other way.

The yalp store also tells you if an app requires the google framework, referred to as 'gsf'. I have found that most apps that say they 'require gsf' work just fine without it.

I have installed whatsapp, as well as countless other apps that say they require gsf, and have not noticed them having showstopping problems without it.

Even some google apps work without gsf, with some loss of features.

I like that idea....
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] scrungydoolittle:
A question:

Does gkiller give you an option to back each app up to say an sdcard?

Second question, is how do you use this?

I did not see anything in the OP that tells you *how* to use this.

So I have a phone that is:

rooted with magisk (patched boot file)

TWRPed

Unlocked bootloader and FRP unlocked.

Would I use adb, bootloader, or twrp to install this, and exactly what are the steps.?
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] K3V1991:
1. No Backup Function (Remommended via TWRP or Titanium Backup)

2. Flash it via TWRP

3. Very easy to use, check the Apps you want unistall & done the installation (UI Interface)

actually that does not work on trhe H1711, because the internal data is encrypted, and the TWRP for it doesn't know how to encrypt it.

[MENTION=5458305]user2k10[/MENTION], those items in /data/app are updates so I can kind of see why they're missed. I think. Maybe. ?

I would've uninstalled the updates first before flashing G-Killer.

I remember way back when in trying old tips to get Play Store to not update (ancient: create com.android.vending-1 and make it read-only). It would update anyway and create a -2 directory. Then a -3.

I guess the scripts would have to take into account the incremental nature of those directories (if it doesn't already).

On a side note. Just took a look at my /data/app directory on an Oreo ROM. All the directories have alphanumeric characters appended to them.

com.android.vending-VT40jloRpFYH5ZajQw8yTQ==

Would G-Killer work against those? Just curious.

[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Schmitzenbergh:
I might be a total idiot for asking this, but can I use this on a regular rom?

I have an LG G6 and want to remove the Google stuff from a regular rom from LG and flash it via TWRP. I already have the flashable Oreo rom and ran the G-Killer, but it seems to do nothing (All Gapps are still there).

If this is a stupid question, I apologize. I just like the Original rom, but I want to remove all Google stuff as I do not use it (And I do not want a privacy hog on my system)
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] marcdw:
You say "regular ROM" but what does that mean? They're all regular so I take it you mean LG stock. Debloaters like G-Killer should work.

It almost seems to me that you're trying to use G-Killer against a flashable ROM; i.e. hoping to remove Google apps from a zipped LG "regular" ROM before flashing. Is that the case? If so, it doesn't work that way. ROM has to be installed first. If there are any custom debloated stock ROMs for the G6 you should consider those. Otherwise...

There's no guarantee the LG stock will run or run properly when debloated. I would suggest trying the following, maybe. First do a nandroid backup of existing/running ROM. Preferably to SD card or flash drive. If the ROM you're on now is the same as the flashable, you could try debloating but you may also have to deal with leftover google data, updates that may need to be uninstalled, etc. etc.

Or, after the aforementioned backup, do the necessary wipes, flash the ROM followed by G-Killer, and hope it boots up fine. If it does, test it out a bit, make sure things work without Google. If it gets a thumbs up, do a nandroid backup of the debloated ROM. If for some reason you need to reinstall the ROM you won't have to reflash and debloat again.

[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Schmitzenbergh:
I thank you for your fast answer :) . I'm still getting used to the lingo on Android stuff (Being a former Windows Mobile 10 user), but you are correct in your assumptions of my words. This is about a stock LG rom.

This is the procedure I did at this moment:

I've flashed the rom from this thread via TWRP; -> https://xdaforums.com/lg-g6/development/rom-14-09-lg-h870-oreo-8-eu-20c-rom-t3842684

Booted up into system and did the initial setup to get into the home screen;

Rebooted back into TWRP and flashed G-Killer. Followed the AROMA installer and checked everything. G-Killer seems to do it's job (I see it showing a log removing things);

Reboot into system again;

Observe that all Gapps are still there.

So either I'm doing something wrong, or G-Killer does not work on the LG stock rom. I do not fear dataloss at this moment as I have not fully switched to this device yet. So wiping data is not a problem. When I've completed the G-Killer procedure, I will make a nandroid backup for later use.

But for now, it does not work. I'll try again later today, but I don't see a problem in my procedure? (Or is there?)
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] marcdw:
[MENTION=9628572]Schmitzenbergh[/MENTION], not sure about the booting into the system first thing but otherwise your steps seem fine. You didn't get any errors from G-Killer so debloating should've worked.

As a test try flashing G-Killer after flashing ROM, before booting into it. Oh, and after flashing save a copy of the recovery log (I think under TWRP's Advanced section). If GApps are still present you can attach or link the log so folks can take a look at it.

[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Schmitzenbergh:
[MENTION=6046143]marcdw[/MENTION] I followed the proposed procedure again, but alas the Gapps are still on the device.

I attached the Gkiller log and the TWRP flash log, maybe someone knows what's going on.

GKiller log -> jFyTqcyi

Recovery log -> e8Wgv2HC

dmesg log -> PGkxU4g4

Due to me having less than 10 posts, I cannot provide direct links. So you need to add the pastebin url in front of the codes. :(
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] marcdw:
Okay, for the record I might not know what I'm seeing or saying but here goes...

The recovery log shows an error during flashing of the stock ROM. While writing a small 32k chunk of data it says not enough space. Also that it only took 115 seconds to flash ROM(?). Was it really that quick? ROM flashing would take some time to complete.

Hey [MENTION=7752429]K3V1991[/MENTION] , awesome work and thanks!

Would you also think about making this into a Magisk module?
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Cookie Ninja:
Counterproductive to the aims of Magisk, IMO. Magisk is for systemless root whereas this zip goes down directly into the system and rips out (deletes, removes or uninstalls) the bloat....so this modifies system, whereas magisk does not...I may be wrong, correct me.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] partcyborg:
Well you are and you arent. Yes it doesn't modify system by design (with the benefit that you can still pass safetynet as a result), but it's not the case at all that this would be counterproductive to it's "aims". Magisk can and does all the things you do in this module, and does them all without actually modifying your system partition, it only looks like it due to clever use of bind mounts. There is actually already a gapps module in the repo, although not one that is tailored like this as far as I'm aware

[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] peconaut:
I was having problems as well specially with data and gps until I follow this step

Before anything start clean (Wipe the System, Cache, Data and ART/Dalvik cache) and make sure you are in the latest firmware

1. Flash Rom, Gapps, Kernel

2. Reboot and get to the homescreen (by this i just skip everything on the setup wizard till i got to the home screen)

3. Reboot back to recovery and flash Magisk

4. Once in the homescreen reboot back to recovery and flash G-Killer

5. In the Aroma menu of G-Killer do the following: First page (CORE APPS) Leave ALONE | SECOND PAGE (GOOGLE APP LIST) check everything so its uninstall| Third Page (Other files) Leave Alone

Reboot and everything should be working. I tested data, location, Bluetooth

Will report in a week
