ROOT EXPLORER
- - - - - - - -
1) Open Root Explorer and navigate into data/app and find com.teslacoilsw.widgetlocker-1.apk
2) Copy the .apk to your SD card
3) Open the .apk and navigate to /res/drawable-hdpi
4) Copy the two images you've chosen, overwriting the 'old' PNGs in \drawable-hdpi
5) Exit the .apk and copy it back to /data/app, overwriting the old .apk
You need to be in R/W mode.
Long click the app - Select permissions and do the checkmarks like this (* represents a checkmark)

[Trick!] Get more free Phone Memory & Speed up your Device!!!

Requirements :
Xperia Arc [Rooted]*
Root Explorer
How :
First... Update all your standard programs in your phone, from Market [Example : Gmail, Facebook, WhatsApp, YouTube, Maps, Adobe Flash Player, Data Monitor & ...]
Download your important programs from Market [Example for me : Root Explorer, Adobe Reader, Bluetooth File Explorer, Advanced Task Killer, Facebook Messenger & ...]
Open "Root Explorer"
Go to "/data/app" folder.
Press Menu key, then press "Multi-select" Button.
Select all file (Programs).
Press "Copy" Button.
Now, Go to "/system/app" folder.
Press "Paste" Button.
For Now, delete old programs, if you new programs is paste this folder. [Example : COPY "com.google.android.apps.maps.apk" from "/data/app" to "/system/app". So DELETE "google maps.apk" (old file)]
Sync or Backup your personal data, if you have.
Factory Reset Device from Phone, with Erase Memory Card.
Finish!
Now you can see over 200-250 MB Free storage in Phone Memory! While your application is installed in internal memory!!!
* I think this trick is working for other Android Device (Rooted!).

Can anybody tell me where it should be ?
Result ; no more Market ...

updated market (com.android.vending.apk for your case) should be inside /data/app

Sweet trick, as long as I don't update any apps in the future

If you update an app isn't just a case of moving it from data/app to system/app?
Does the factory reset do that much?

No, isn't...
Yes... If you do factory reset, all your app (changed app) is updated...

I tired that many times without success. I tired to convert the FB to a normal application ending up TB running for about 8 hours and my battery dead. After I booted up the phone, FB is neither here nor there and ended up restoring from backup!
Not sure it's only happening to me though .

I have just tried to move one app and it is working fine without factory reset.
Thanks allot for this excellent tip to save some space
I copied data from /data/app to /system/app, then uninstalled the app and rebooted device. The app is now a system app, not sure if it will work for all kinds of apps, will continue to move more of my apps to the /system/app folder.
One disadvantage could be that upgrading firmware also requires that all the systemized apps are reinstalled.

Im using the a2sd script + titanium backup's ability to freeze a background app/process then unfreeze them\it when I need it
very useful indeed

[GAPPS][GUIDE][TOOL] PROJECT SLIM-8mb GApps & AUTO SLIM-FACTORY (free 134mb /system)

[GAPPS][GUIDE][TOOL] PROJECT SLIM-8mb GApps & AUTO SLIM-FACTORY (free 134mb /system)
Project Slim is closed, thanks.
Post #1 = slim gapps (8mb)
Post #2 = slim rom guide
What is Project Slim?
Many older devices (eg. HTC Desire) have limited NAND storage. This leaves very little space for user apps. This project is intended for such phones and aims to overcome that limitation by freeing as much space from the /system partition as possible - allowing for hboot partitions to be flashed with less space allocated to /system and more to /data. This allows for more apps to be installed with app-to-sd scripts - or even negates the need for such scripts in some cases.
How does it work?
Simply flash the 8mb gapps provided below instead of your normal gapps after a ROM install
If more space is required, see post #2. This guide will walk you though how to easily reduce the size of your ROM on your Windows PC manually before moving to sdcard for flashing. An automated script that does all the work for you can also be found in post #2.
Will it work for my ROM?
The Gapps have been tested on HTC Desire, Galaxy S2, Nexus One - They should work for all devices.
Regarding ROM slimming, the principles the guide is based on remain the same no matter the device, but i can't guarantee the automated script will work on all roms.
I Need more Google apps!
This is the slimmest gapps you'll find. Download Calendar, Hangouts, Maps, etc. from play store.
Requirements?
All files necessary are provided.
Windows PC - if ROM slimming
SLIM GAPPS:
APKs: Basically just the play store, and the necessities. Note, i've removed 'Google Now' coz u can download that from play store, and "Google Ears" coz that's useless. Also, useless libs for face unlock, google ears, etc removed... Play store also updated to latest version.
Full List:
ChromeBookmarksSyncAdapter
GoogleBackupTransport
GoogleCalendarSyncAdapter
GoogleContactsSyncAdapter
GoogleLoginService
GoogleServicesFramework
NetworkLocation
Phonesky
SetupWizard
Zip size is 8.3mb. Takes up approx. 10mb in system. Normal (trimmed) gapps is 63mb. So that's an extra 53mb free!

Total Freed: 82mb
Last Step: Repacking before flashing
1) Check file size before zipping
2) Re-zip with 7zip, view the zip to make sure its all ok (ie you don't have something like /CM10.1.zip/CM10.1/)
3) Sign your updated re-zipped ROM with sign-em application. Place ROM in "input", run exe, signed ROM found in "output"
[TIPS]
If you get stuck, always good to have a saved PC copy of the apks saved on your phone beforehand.
Use: "adb pull /data/app C:\Users\<wherever-you-want>" (without quotes)
That way if you have no file explorer, you can use like "adb install <filemanagername>.apk" (must place in adb folder of course)
Its also faster to restore your phone, just use: "adb push C:\Users\<wherever-you-want> /data/app"
Then restore app-data ONLY from TitaniumBackup -much faster and less issues
[MODS - FOR HTC DESIRE (BRAVO)]:
-Wifi tethering with password fix - Extract files "hostapd" and "hostapd_cli", copy extracted files, mount system R/W, paste in /system/bin replacing the original files, set permissions (rwxr-xr-x), reboot
-Keyboard BL disable: Extract 65DisableKeyBacklight file, place into system/etc/init.d folder, set permissions same as other files in this folder (---rwxr-x), reboot
--a2sd: open terminal, type "su", type "a2sd install", respond with yny and it'll reboot automatically

You'd need to slim the rom first. I've currenty 14mb free space, so it could probably even fit in a 200mb system hboot. See post 2 soon.

Just been using latest nightly and must say you are right.. Buttery.. Except for camera, that's slower with other/fewer glitches.. Overall nice..

Lol same, and games are for nexus 7 so well worth it

Nice! 16 mb. And to think that the original gapps are 95mb in size. What a waste.

So what's up with the latest Nightly...? Does it support DSP Manager being used for better sound quality??? Ya know, CM ROMs run DSP like a boss. Evervolv ROMs don't....... They are smooth and all, but no DSP Manager means that I'm not installing them.........

Just bought a galaxy s2 for my mum.
she'll have a better phone than me but I'm more excited to see where devs take this classic phone
So.. i assume 14 downloads and no complaints means v2 works fine ?
Anyone tried it?

[Script] Delete unwanted apps

From the time I had HTC HD2 i use a script for deleting unwanted apps.
This script should be installed from custom recovery (works flawlessly with TWRP 2.6.3.4) like any app or kernel.
After script execution clear cache/Dalvik and reboot.
If any of the apps updated, then the updated apps will be in data/app and needs deleted from there as well.
Apps list may vary depending upon the particular firmware.
Using this script as example you may add/remove any apps in updater-script inside archive according to your needs.
List of apps I delete from /system/app (currently running Cataclysm ROM):
- BasicDreams
- Books
- Calculator (I use Calculator Mem Lite)
- Drive
- GenieWidget
- GoogleEars
- GoogleEarth
- GoogleHindiIME
- GoogleHome (I use Nova Launcher Prime)
- GooglePinyinIME
- GoogleTTS
- HTMLViewer
- iWnnIME
- iWnnIME_Kbd_White
- Keep
- KoreanIME
- LiveWallpapersPicker
- Magazines
- Music2 (I use WinAmp and PowerAmp)
- PlayGames
- PlusOne
- Stk
- Street
- Videos
P.S. I am not responsible for any damage to you phone, you do it on your own risk.

How exactly do we add apps to the list to delete? I see the folder contains the recovery script but no list from which to edit. Do we just use 7zip, create a folder within the zip, then add apk names???? I miss having ROM Cleaner from my Evo LTE and have been looking for a suitable replacement on the Nexus 5. This way I don't have to keep waiting for the same 20 apps I delete from SlimKat to convert to ART when dirty flashing lol.

Unpack archive, in /META-INF/com/google/android/updater-script make your changes, save, use 7Zip->save->archive format:zip, compression level:Store->press OK, that's all.

Thanks I think I got it. I used Notepad++ to edit the script. I added some priv-app apks too. Will that cause any issues? I just changed /app/ to /priv-app/ in the code.

And yes, you use right editor!

Thank's for sharing this ! Aweosme ! Every time, I was doing it with Titanium Backup xD
Just a curious question, was does happend if the app doesn't exist in the system ? Example 'delete("/system/app/Test.apk");' but Test.apk doesn't exist, does that change something ? I don't think so but just wanted to ask before I will try tomorrow
Thank's !

Can I take the same files (the folder META-INF) for Nexus 7 2013 ? Or I need to replace it by one in a rom for N7 ?
Thank's !
EDIT : I just saw this line in the updater-scrpit '#This script for Nexus 5 ONLY!' I will see how to do it on Nexus 7 !

Yes, you can use META-INF folder.
Mount line for Nexus 7 (2012) will looks something like:
mount("ext4", "EMMC", "/dev/block/platform/sdhci-tegra.3/by-name/APP", "/system");
But it seems that N7 2013 has same partitions structure like N5, so this script should fit Nexus 7 (2013) w/o any changes.

this script screw up my phone real bad.... i have to wipe everything and flash my ROM again, then restore my nandroid backup.
i don't know which part of your script is not compatible with my phone, multiboot or ART.

This script is absolutely compatible with usual Nexus 5, several guys used it w/o problems, it seems that the problem is multiboot. You can look inside - script absolutely correct mount system partition, removes unwanted apps from /system/app, unmount system, that's all. Probably multiboot uses another partition structure unlike one-system phone.

i could test out other roms while maintaining my base rom intact.
i'm not having any other problem except this one.

Barebone Stock Galaxy Note 10.1

Hi guys, I'm giving up on CyanogenMod. It is slimmer but it has more problems on Galaxy Note 10.1. If you have answer concerning the SDCard problem, please reply to my topic there.
Anyway, still I want to trim all those bloatwares from my device, so I did couple of researches, combining articles and tutorials on trimming roms on other devices (Note 1, 2, 3 and some other devices like sony)
The result? So far it's pretty stable and functional. Phone, bluetooth, wifi, sms, video call, stylus pressure sensitivity etc, all working just fine.
I also had several games, emulators and some graphic apps installed and running without any problem. No crashes so far.
I'll report more if there's anything came up. But I'm pretty happy with it now.
Might work on other tab/note variants too. So here it is :
1. Root your stock, using any method you want (I'm using Odin + ClockworkMod + CF-Auto-Root)
2. Use root file explorer of your choice and delete everything (or you can add .old extension if you had doubts, or maybe everyone's favorite, using freeze in Titanium Backup) in system/app EXCEPT THESE :

You can find editable Google Doc spreadsheet here

updated with more infos and compared with SGS2 spreadsheet from this thread :
http://www.geekzone.co.nz/forums.asp?forumid=39&topicid=114574&page_no=6
Also, for SGS 3 from this thread
http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s3/themes-apps/applications-safe-to-remove-t1634624/page28
If you find any similar spreadsheet for other devices (Sony, HTC, or Motorola and probably even chinese handsets), or minimalist custom ROMs, please let me know, so I can do further comparison, and fetching more infos on the apks. Might just as well create a universal list for it. If I get my hands on new handsets, I'll probably do this too.
Note, from my list above, I deleted SamsungIME.apk (the default keyboard) so if you're doing factory reset you won't be able to type anything. I have myself a hardware keyboard to do the intial setups and such. But after that I used SwiftKey for my daily needs.
If you don't have any hardware keyboard at your disposal, leave it. You can delete it after you installed 3rd party keyboard.
I removed camera (SamsungCamera.apk) as well since I didn't use it much on my tablet. You can leave it if you want to, or use third party apps for it.
For the browser, I installed Chrome afterwards, since it have much more features compared to the stock/built in browser.
As for the multimedia player I use MXPlayerPro, fetched from Google Play as well
With this setup, from 345 apks/odexes I'm left with only about 78 apks/odexes. And it feels blazing fast.
that's 267 bloatwares/junks within your device, even if it's not coming from some service provider (OEM)
From 1 gb space used in factory settings to about 200 mb.

Bisabling mini app tray (which I never use and often accidentally hit the arrow icon) :

Basically it just involves deleting these :
Any apps in System/app that has "Mini" in its name (Including minimode-res.apk).
Next remove :

Multi Window Icon Removal :
That annoying little button that often covered up other important button below.
Basically it's from this thread
And using heavylildude 1x1 png to remove the included icon here :
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=43684011
Step by step :
1. Download the JamMasterClay's custom MultiWindow Cascade Icon
2. Find tw_icon_cascade_no_ab_default.png and tw_icon_cascade_no_ab_pressed.png (it's in vrtheme\system\framework\framework-res.apk\res\drawable-mdpi folder within the zip)
3. Update the zip using; replace both files with heavylildude's 1x1 pngs, (tw_icon_cascade_no_ab_default.png and tw_icon_cascade_no_ab_pressed.png) using any zip editor you use (winrar or winzip, any will do).
4. Flash it using ClockWorkMod recovery.
5. ????
6. Profit!
OR
Just use the zip I made for this. It's built using the steps above.

I'm not responsible if you bricked your device. Proceed carefully.
Cheers, enjoy and hope this help.

Thanks for the bloatware list, it's gonna be useful ^^

You're welcome. Be aware the list of the APK above is NOT listing the bloatwares.
Those are the ones you should LEAVE ALONE.
Additional guide :
Adding third party apps as default system app
As noted above, I've removed SamsungIME.apk, which is the default samsung keyboard (which I hated much, with passion) and replaced it with SwiftKey.
What you'll need :
ES File Explorer
Zip tool; could be Winzip or Winrar on PC, or I use ZArchiver for Android
Purchased apps are stored as .asec in /data/app-private. Using ES File Explorer app backup feature, you can save it as .apk and install it like common apps.
Step-by-step instruction :
After you backed up the purchased apps, uninstall the old (google play installed) one.
Open the newly created apk using zip or zarchiver, you'll find "lib" folder.
Copy the content of "lib" folder (usually with .so extension) to system/lib folder in your device.
Set the copied .so file permission to rw-r--r-- (chmod 644 if you use terminal)
Install the apk like usual using apk installer
find the new installed apk in data/app folder and copy it to system/app folder
set the copied .apk file within system/app folder permission to rw-r--r-- (chmod 644)
The app should become system app and will stay within your device even if a factory reset was done.
Tested on SwiftKey, Delver, ES File Explorer, etc. Doesn't work with MXPlayerPro (let me know if you had success with MXPlayerPro)

Complete and Editable Google Doc file :
https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet...dEszRWNTT0pSaThYWkdYc0pWRF92bkE&usp=drive_web

Aftermath, background processes and battery consume list. Also attached RemoveMultiWindowIcon.zip (flash it using ClockWorkMod if you hate the multiwindow icon).
I installed dropbox and swiftkey, so if you did a factory reset, you'll only left with 2 active background processes at most (excluding SystemUI and Android core, of course)
Also, list of apk/odex updated, with SecTabletAlarmClock_P4NOTE.apk, ContextAwareService.apk, SecDownloadProviderUi.apk removed, along with their odexes. No problem so far.
SecDownloadProviderUi.apk didn't do anything significant. I rebooted after I removed it, downloading google play still working fine and still give me some progress bar on the download.
However, I've lost the "downloads" icon, which means I cannot clean up the logs, and may be cluttered over time.
Edit :
A full day running the super slim tablet :
Running CSR Racing, Delver, Autodesk Sketchbook Pro, TrueSculpt and Google Drive/QuickOffice and tons of other apps without any problem.
MTP detected flawlessly and can send files from my computer through USB without problem.
Wifi internet run without problem, browsing from tablet work marvelously and also mobile data working properly.
Battery obviously last MUCH longer.
Found out that CSC.apk (after first boot/factory reset) and Personalisation.apk (not sure what it does, maybe had something to do with ringtones and wallpapers) are safe to remove. Can anyone confirm this? I've did a full unroot on my device. Well those two are minor, now that you're left with about 40 apks from 170 default apks (78 and 340 if you count the odex files). I think deleting them won't do much now. But just curious, whether they are safe to delete or not.
Also google docs updated

Tested removing these :
BadgeProvider.apk - those badges on the app icon which displayed numbers of received messages/notifications. No crashes removing this.
CSC.apk - Can be removed after first boot. Not sure what it do.
Personalization.apk - said to be safe to remove, and so far it is. Not sure what it do.
NetworkLocation.apk - provide GPS location through Wifi, didn't use GPS on my tablet anyway
Keystring_DFT.apk - contains sets of USSD codes
Keystring_factory.apk - contains sets of USSD codes
Keystring_misc.apk - contains sets of USSD codes
No errors/crashes or anything. Updated first post.

Updated OP, now that I can post links, also added original threads.
Enjoy guys.

hi in your scribd document u gave the list of things that can be removed. so as u have explained the functions for those which shouldnt be removed.can u do the same for those to be removed. then it will help us to more customise(for example- i may need bluetooth,camera,gallery,music player,s note app) so can u specify which are those for the app i mentioned.:good::good::good::good:

Will update the doc. Thanks for the suggestion. Probably I'll compile something like blackviper's sheet.
