[Q] Several questions related to slimming down a Custom ROM for Galaxy W

[Q] Several questions related to slimming down a Custom ROM for Galaxy W - SlimRoms Q&A

hey,
i hope you guys here can help me out with some of my problems regarding the slimming process of a rom.
First of all i am only used to flash custom roms. I have not much expierence modifying custom roms at all.
Therefore I will have to ask a lot of questions.
Lets begin:
I am using arco68´s final release of 4.0.4 for Galaxy W, cygwin and the android kitchen .226
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1576874
As the title says i would like to slim down this rom.
Questions regarding the rom :
I started with removing all unnecessary apps. Except for the ones the system needs.
I also removed all sounds and videos but i cannot find the backgroud images/pictures
I would like it to have an all black background
Now i am looking for slim alternatives for a few system apps.
Slim Launcher: Nova?
gallery2.apk -> quickpic?
filemanager -> ???.apk
Furthermore i would like to remove all standard widgets, remove all fonts except the standard one(which one is it)
I am looking for a kernel with maximum battery life span (or should i change govenor and i/o scheduler?)
How do i know if build.prop tweaks work and which are necessary for better battery life and a fluid menu?
How do i slim down the latinime.apk and remove all languages except for german in my case
Questions regarding Gapps:
How do i slim down Gapps? I only need the playstore and sync contacts.
Questions regarding Android Kitchen:
Whats the difference between an update script and an updater script? I don get it...
Are there better tools than the Android Kitchen for beginners or is there a complete readme for the kitchen?

Quick Glossary & Lingo
adb: Android Debug Bridge, a versatile tool lets you manage the state of an emulator instance or Android-powered device
Baseband: In communications and signal processing, the baseband describes signals and systems whose range of the frequencies measured from close to 0 hertz to a cut-off frequency, a maximum bandwidth or highest signal frequency; it is sometimes used to describe frequencies starting close to zero
Boot Loop: simply means something is preventing the phone from completing it's boot cycle and is stuck between the boot animation and the unlock screen, creating a looped animation. This is often fixed by either reloading a Nandroid, or Reflashing a rom from recovery
Brick or Bricked: Jargon for a completely unrecoverable device, (no more than a brick or paperweight)
Bug or Software Bug: an Error or flaw in software that produces a failure or unexpected/unwanted result. Typically created from incorrect code, this is why some ROMs are better and smoother running than others because certain developers have taken the time to input "perfect" code
Busybox: BusyBox is a single multicall binary that packages the functionality of most widely used standard Unix tools, BusyBox provides a fairly complete environment for any small or embedded system.
ClockworkMod: A recovery program that is often used to apply updates, ROMs, or create a back up or restore a backup file
De-odex: Apk files have respective odexes that devs use to supposedly save space. Deodexing means you convert it back to a .dex file and put it back inside the apk. This allows you to easily replace files (not having to worry about odexes), but the main point was to deodex services.jar so that you can change all text to different colors (such as the clock color to white) and to deodex services.jar, you need to deodex everything.
Dev. or Developer: An individual that creates, or alters a file in such a manner as to advance the program
Flash or Flash Memory: a program technology that can be electrically erased and reprogrammed
Kernel: The governor of the CPU usage and Battery output, one can upload certain Kernels to achieve greater performance speed of their device at the cost of some battery life
Nandroid or Nandroid Backup: A file typically created in the custom recovery program, such as clockworkmod, that is a carbon copy of whatever state your phone is in before a drastic change is made. the file then can be moved onto or off of the SD card for later use in case something should go wrong in the ROM or Update, or a Boot Loop occurs
OS: Operating system, I.E. Windows Vista or MAC or ANDROID
Overclocking: Speeding up the CPU past the factory presets to achieve a faster and more responsive device
ROM: Read Only Memory, a program used to make changes to anything from the look of the home screen, to icons to custom boot animation
Root: Common word associated with giving a user "super user" access to their phones programming and other various aspects that would normally not be possible, also known as "Jailbroken" for iPhone's
Shell or SSH: secure shell or ssh is a network protocol that allows data to be exchanged using a secure channel between two networked devices
Stock: Simply means an unaltered state, such as when you first purchase your phone from Verizon, or when you do a factory reset. Current stock image is Android 2.2 (Froyo)
SU: "Super user", or root permissions
Theme: A set of icons, backgrounds and app trays that change the ascthetics of the overall look of the droid and its applications
Underclocking: Slowing down the CPU mainly to limit battery usage
File types:
.apk or APK's: An .apk file extension denotes an Android Package (APK) file, an .apk file can be opened and inspected using common archive tools
.tar: Similar to a zip file, a tar file archives multiple files into one file
.zip: Zipped file used to archive multiple files into one to save space and allow for single download
.pit: Handle the partitioning of the internal SD

Factory.rfs is aka your system folder. Typically people go in there to extract apps from the app folder. Like camera, ebook and such

[Q] ROM / KERNEL / STABLE / UNSTABLE combination
Hi all,
Could you please share your opinions regarding the subject?
I would like to find out, and I believe it's a good thing for an open discussion on the following:
What is the most stable (recommended) combination ROM / KERNEL right now (apart from stock FW)?
What are the STABLE / UNSTABLE versions of ROM / KERNEL?
What are the well known bugs in particular ROMs or KERNELs?
Best regards
Savit

Thanks for that list! Well done.

One request and only because there are soo many damn versions of the tab.....do you think it's possible to separate what works with a specific tab? For example, list whatever works under T-MOBILE Tab, SPRINT TAB, VERIZON TAB etc.....most of us (at least I don't) wouldn't know how to separate any of those in terms of what they are called or use, like CDMA or PH1000 or whatever. Thanks!

what ever makes you happy. if you going to be working on the wiki you should make it look better than that. a wiki is suoppose to be comprehensive. you just copied and pasted what i have. i could of done that myself. i think the devs did more than enough by posting their roms in the dev section, and the last thing that i bet they are worrying about is putting it on the wiki. since im no dev im doing my part by keeping this bible updated. link my bible to the wiki not all the links i compiled. i really think you should use the vibrant wiki as reference. imo thats what a wiki should look like.

[Discussion] Compatible Mods for Android Revolution HD ROM (Updated 03/03/2313)

Since a lot of people (myself included) have been asking about mods that are compatible with our beloved ARHD ROM, I thought I’ll compile a list of mods that people have been reported to be working on this ROM, with a few descriptions.
RULES:
First rule of Fight Club, we DO NOT talk about Fight Club
I’m NOT a developer, and I haven’t tried all the mods myself, so TRY THEM AT YOUR OWN RISK, and ALWAYS MAKE A BACKUP before flashing.
ALWAYS check the firmware version of the mod before downloading/flashing. Mods for older firmware version may not work &/or cause issue with newer ROM
I set this up as a discussion thread for mods. Please feel free to discuss any mod you think would be compatible with the ARHD ROM
Finally, all credits go to the original developers of the mods. I’m merely posting the links to their original threads, and take no credit for their wonderful works.
THEMES & COSMETIC ENHANCEMENTS:
Themes:
Jelly Bean Domination Theme by Vertumus (For 4.1.2 ROMs only; up to XELLC/v19.x) (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1730397)
SenseWiz Theme by bala_gamer (For 4.1.2 ROMs only; up to XELKC only) (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1970432)
TouchWiz Glass Theme by bala_gamer (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2040019; For 4.2.1 ROM (v30.x, delete the file mentioned in this post: [http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=38398869&postcount=111] before flashing)
Themed Samsung Keyboard by RiZ: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2091167
For 4.1.2 ROMs only
For XXELLA (v18.0) and XXEMA2 (v21.x)
Add a black and blue color theme to the standard Samsung Keyboard
PC BIOS boot screen by yogosun: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2102572
For BOTH 4.1.2 & 4.2.1 ROMs
Pretty self-explanatory. Just download the files you want and flash in CWM
Bootanimations collection by pkoper: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1911963
For 4.1.2 ROMs, but untested for 4.2.1 ROMs ---> Try with caution
Massive selection of bootanimation
You'll also need to download a CWM flashable zip (by anbechs) to enable bootanimations (see OP of the tread for link)
23Toggles and status bar mod by raubkatze: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1995320
For 4.1.2 ROMs only
It's a 23 toggles mod plus lots of customization for the status bar e.g. center clock, battery mod, icons colour etc.
Note that each individual mod has its own zip file, so you may need to flash a series of zip in recovery to get your perfect mod.
Modded TouchWiz launcher by blgblade (& or1m): http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1848582
For 4.1.2 ROMs only
Modify the Home Screen & App Drawer sizes, enable/disable wallpaper scrolling, increase maximum homescreens to 9, and allow mixed size Launcher (Mixed Homescreen/Appdrawer grid).
Please note blgblade developed the original mods for the ELKC firmware (downloadable files in OP), but or1m updated the mods to later firmware version using blgblade’s script and post them throughout the thread. You may need to do a quick search within the thread to find the correct firmware version for your ROM.
For XXEMA2 (v21.x) http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=37329617&postcount=673

Criscan's mod uses the MultiWindow Control app (a separate downloadable app available in the OP of the thread) to add apps to the MultiWindow panel, and yo can also download and flash an addon zip for transparent MultiWindow panel, while bala_gamer's mod simply add ALL apps to the MultiWidow panel and you have to manual remove apps you don't want from the main panel through the edit function.
I have seen the LegendK95's mod myself, so I don't if the MultiWindow Control app used in criscan's mod is the same one you have. But give it a go, you can always download the app again from criscan's site.

how about just want the ink effect lockscreen only ?
don't want from the kryten thread, force user to install aokp lockscreen, etc ....

This is the only Ink Effect only mod I can find: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2101400&highlight=ink+effect
Note that it's only for XXELLC firmware at the moment (i.e. ARHD v19), and make sure to make backup your ROM before flashing. Someone has reported lockscreen crashes with the mod, although the developer wasn't sure why it happens.
If you do try, please report back if it's working for you or not. I personally don't use it, but would like to share it with other users if it works on ARHD ROM.
Thanks

Hello , to all.
I am an owner of Samsung Glaaxy S4 GT- I 9505 with Android 4.4.2 and Kernel 3.4.0-3423977. It's the official latest update here in Europe.
But Samsung has a lot of programms inside that i don't need and they run on the background.
I am using most for typing , viber, sms, calls, camera (A lot), and inserting files from computer to computer via the phone, and 1-2 games to pass my time,but inside has a lot of programms.
Which is a good room stable,without any problems and really light without all this unnecessary programs ?
I am waiting for suggestions.

I'm a big fan of CyanogenMod. Works great for me! It is fast, reliable, up-to-date. If you haven't already, give it a try....

From Wikipedia
Bloatware[edit]
The term "bloatware" may be applied to software that has become bloated through inefficiency or accretion of features as outlined above.[2] Confusingly, the same term bloatware is also commonly used to refer to preinstalled software on a device, usually included by the hardware manufacturer, that is mostly unwanted by the purchaser. This may account for up to 45% of pre-installed software on a new device.[4]
The term may also be applied to the accumulation of unwanted and unused software elements that remain after partial and incomplete uninstallation. These elements may include whole programs, libraries, associated configuration information or data. The impact over time may be resultant deterioration of performance as the unwanted software or software components occupy memory, waste processing time, add disk I/O, consume storage and cause delays at system startup and shutdown. In the worst cases, the leftover software may interfere with the correct operation of wanted software.[5]

I have already done it but as i said the download links in the section of IGNF100% is not working.

Hi,
if you want a clean and stable ROM, you definetely should take a look at this GPE:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2557353
Almost pure Android Experience, just with a few very useful tweaks, and amazing battery life! I'm using this ROM since a few days now and I'm fascinated, it's like I'd bought a completely new phone! Even better than Cyanogenmod in my opinion, because I've had a few bugs on CM12 (bad battery life, very bad microphone quality etc.). Camera is working fine, too.

South Africa version KitKat.
It looks like it's the modem that affects the Wifi.
BTW, I flashed the India version.
I also debloated, removed close to 100 sammie rubbish. Rom is quick and smooth.

Okay.
Firstly, I give you a copy of a post by a great Dev @xXx who created a tool called Barebone Cleaner.
I downloaded zip and placed in SD card.
Went into recovery and install zip which takes you to an Aroma installation.
Be careful. Do not go for Barebone cleaning.
You have lots of choices, just read so that you don't delete important applications.
As always, make a Nandroid backup before and I would suggest that you install Nova because touchwizz is deleted.
Let me know how it goes.
I have copied the Devs post which was posted on S5 thread.
Ps, I own S5 and my wife has S5 mini.
Download latest 5.96a version.
URWsoft BareBone Cleaner
Features & Benefits
* Free Rom choice: Choose any Samsung Touchwiz Lollipop Rom and cleans it down to a core level. This way you can choose a Rom which fits your personal liking and requirements and clean it down to your comfort level.
* Reduced to the Max: Reduce Rom A full blown Samsung Rom comes with about 300 apps which can be brought down to about 75 core apps
* Faster Rom: After a full clean you will have about 1.1 GB free RAM available which is about 300-400 MB more compared to a full blown Samsung Rom. This increase the performance.
* Individual Cleaning Definitions: The BareBone Cleaner provides you with plenty of options to customize the cleaning process and make sure you prevent apps you want to keep from cleaning.
* Compatible: Several user feedbacks confirm that the BareBone Cleaner works with odexed and deodexed as well as Samsung based Lollipop and KitKat roms on all kind of S5 variants.
* Saved Profiles:
鈥�* Ones you have defined your individual profile it will be saved as an editable text file on your SDcard (URWsoft folder) and next time you flash a Rom you can run this profile with the exact same settings with no additional effort.
* You will have predefined profiles for one click cleaning available. One save Default Profile and an Extrem BareBone Cleaning Profile.
* You can reset your profile to default setting anytime and start to define a new profile.
* You have a Bypass option available which will keep you defined profile and just present you with a complete unselected profile. This will help you to just select one or more apps for addition cleaning or select one of the Install options
鈥�Multi Window Operation: On the first customization window you can select which further menus you want to enable. Only these windows will be presented.
鈥�Alternative Apps and Tweaks: You might want to get rid of the S5 stock keyboard, or the TouchWiz Launcher. As an alternative you can select the S6 keyboard or Nova Launcher etc. from the Install Apps menu and be able to remove the stock apps without being left with an unusable rom.
鈥�Rom Specifics Menu: Most of the rom chefs implement different kind of apps to their roms which are additional to the Samsung standard Rom content. In order to give you the opportunity to get rid of specific unwanted apps which I started this new section. This will grow on the go and you tell me what you would like to see here as additional cleaning options.
鈥�Users Selection Menu: Some users requested me to clean even more content which I either didn’t test sufficiently yet or might remove rom functionality which is required for a seamless rom operation. These requests can be found in the Users Menu. If you tested these selections please let us know your experience is with it. If everything works fine for daily use these cleanings could be easily shifted into the standard cleaning options.
鈥�Additional Features: The BareBone Cleaner will further grow on the go and you tell me what you would like to see here as additional cleaning options. The profiles will help already to combine a feature rich utility with ease of use and fast track profile executions.
URWsoft BareBone Cleaner Project
I’m not a developer but I’m flashing ROMs since quite some years and today I’m experienced enough for this project.
The BareBone Cleaner is an Aroma Installer based tool which will debloat your TouchWiz Lollipop rom up to a core minimum in order to increase available ram and get rid of performance wasting apps and services which are not mandatory.
So get rid of all the Samsung crap, bloatware, the annoying “check cover” warning or other apps which you could easily add again to your personal liking from the Google Playstore.
I’m sure many of you was looking for this kind of solution in order to choose any rom fitting your personal liking.
Background of this Project
The original kick-off for this project was a longer temporary absence of Edgarf28 who provides us with his awesome XtreStoLite rom. I used his rom since the very first day on my S5 and even I tried tons of other roms, for some reasons I always returned to XtreStoLite.
Therefore I started to develop the BareBone Cleaner to be able to choose any TouchWiz Lollipop rom and clean it down to the same level as Edgar is doing with his rom. Short after I decided to share my BareBone Cleaner in this thread Edgar returned and provided an updated rom version.
As I enjoy this project and got several motivating feedbacks from users who would like to clean the rom of their choice, I decided to continue the development of my BareBone Cleaner and bring it to the next level by porting the cleaner logic to a user friendly Aroma Installer. Now users can individually choose what they would like to clean and I will step by step add more options now.
The most important factors for me, beside the combination of performance and battery life is the fact the I’m able to run the original TouchWiz rom but maximum debloated to a core minimum in order to increase available ram and get rid of performance wasting apps and services which are not mandatory.
So what happens if you use my script?
The script deletes all kind of apps from your installed rom based on your selections down to a core level what is required for a stable operation. From that level you can add any desired app from the Google Playstore to satisfy your personal requirements and style.
Important notes
The BareBone Cleaner is designed to clean TouchWiz Lollipop 5.0.x roms running on the S5 G900F which are either odexed or deodexed.
Currently I’m not planning to support other rom types. I’m happy to get your feedback if you tried it successfully on other roms as well so other users can benefit from that information as well.
Best use is running the BareBone Cleaner from recovery right after flashing a new rom but you can also make use of it if you want to clean your existing installation. In this case you might experience that apps like Google maps, Youtube etc. will be gone. In this case just load them again from Google Playstore.
! Flash this Script at your own Risk !
!! - I don't take any responsibility for any Damage - !!
Create a Nandroid-Backup before flashing the script!

I answered the PM and provided permission.
Regarding Android RAM management there are plenty of knowledge articles available explaining about that.
Essentially, after loading the OS, services etc. into RAM, Android will load as many apps into RAM as possible until a certain threshold. This way these apps are starting much faster when required. So if you remove bloatware which used RAM before the cleaning the free RAM is used now for other apps which are most probably the ones you frequently use. This way for you as a user everything is more responsive and faster after cleaning.

Smooth your 5.1.1 TW experience !!

So as you know our S5 mini isnt loved by devs and no custom roms are available for it
so how about we mod the stock rom by our selfs !!!
@xXx made a script for his Galaxy S5 that will clean your rom the way you like it and fortunately its working on the S5 mini as well
so i will copy his thread nothing more i asked him to do so and he said its ok
so lets get started

This will grow on the go and you tell me what you would like to see here as additional cleaning options.Users Selection Menu:*Some users requested me to clean even more content which I either didn’t test sufficiently yet or might remove rom functionality which is required for a seamless rom operation. These requests can be found in the Users Menu. If you tested these selections please let us know your experience is with it. If everything works fine for daily use these cleanings could be easily shifted into the standard cleaning options.Additional Features:*The BareBone Cleaner will further grow on the go and you tell me what you would like to see here as additional cleaning options. The profiles will help already to combine a feature rich utility with ease of use and fast track profile executions.
URWsoft BareBone Cleaner Project
I’m not a developer but I’m flashing ROMs since quite some years and today I’m experienced enough for this project.
The BareBone Cleaner is an Aroma Installer based tool which will debloat your TouchWiz Lollipop rom up to a core minimum in order to increase available ram and get rid of performance wasting apps and services which are not mandatory.
So get rid of all the Samsung crap, bloatware, the annoying “check cover” warning or other apps which you could easily add again to your personal liking from the Google Playstore.
I’m sure many of you was looking for this kind of solution in order to choose any rom fitting your personal liking.
Background of this Project
The original kick-off for this project was a longer temporary absence of*Edgarf28*who provides us with his awesome*XtreStoLite*rom. I used his rom since the very first day on my S5 and even I tried tons of other roms, for some reasons I always returned to XtreStoLite.
Therefore I started to develop the BareBone Cleaner to be able to choose any TouchWiz Lollipop rom and clean it down to the same level as Edgar is doing with his rom. Short after I decided to share my BareBone Cleaner in this thread Edgar returned and provided an updated rom version.
As I enjoy this project and got several motivating feedbacks from users who would like to clean the rom of their choice, I decided to continue the development of my BareBone Cleaner and bring it to the next level by porting the cleaner logic to a user friendly Aroma Installer. Now users can individually choose what they would like to clean and I will step by step add more options now.
The most important factors for me, beside the combination of performance and battery life is the fact the I’m able to run the original TouchWiz rom but maximum debloated to a core minimum in order to increase available ram and get rid of performance wasting apps and services which are not mandatory.
So what happens if you use my script?
The script deletes all kind of apps from your installed rom based on your selections down to a core level what is required for a stable operation. From that level you can add any desired app from the Google Playstore to satisfy your personal requirements and style.
Important notes
The BareBone Cleaner is designed to clean TouchWiz Lollipop 5.0.x roms running on the S5 G900F which are either odexed or deodexed.
Currently I’m not planning to support other rom types. I’m happy to get your feedback if you tried it successfully on other roms as well so other users can benefit from that information as well.
Best use is running the BareBone Cleaner from recovery right after flashing a new rom but you can also make use of it if you want to clean your existing installation. In this case you might experience that apps like Google maps, Youtube etc. will be gone. In this case just load them again from Google Playstore.*
! Flash this Script at your own Risk !
!! - I don't take any responsibility for any Damage - !!
Create a Nandroid-Backup before flashing the script!

yup i used it on my s5 mini and ive removed 83 Samsung system apps
the device is very fast now and smooth
as for installation download the ZIP and flash it via recovery
it will open a window with an aroma installer
follow the instructions that will show
and just in case make a backup for your current rom so you can restore it if you removed something you need

So I can flash any S5 ROM on my S5 Mini (g800f) ? And then I have to flash this Mod, and ROM should work, right ?

No, you cannot flash ANY S5 Rom on a S5 MINI. You will brick your phone.

Can you post a comment in his thread of twrp with the problem so he will see it just in case he didnt noticed your message

I think the problem is related to hardware overlays and not handled correctly for this build. There is a workaround in the r4 build of the same TWRP source rev. for the Moto X Play. Aroma hangs when the zip has loaded and the splash screen should be displayed on top of the TWRP interface. It just hangs and all you can do is reboot. Just run this installer from the latest TWRP. It won't change anything until after you have made all these choices. So it should be safe to try.
