Didn't try that yet! I recommend to Setup ADB it's very handy!

1 word - wow. This is a really great tool. Used it, and it's flawless. I would LOVE to have it in my ROM if you don't mind! Like flashing the ROM then flashing this script to remove Facebook, Twitter, etc. Great work buddy

sorry sir, but for apk installer section, what's used for?
can you explain little bit?

Was actually kind of hoping to use this but the download is no longer there. Has this been abandoned?

You can get it here

missed out a "/"
There's a small mistake that i noticed. In line 59 of Debloat.bat,
Code:
adb shell rm system/aap/MobilePrint.odex
should probably be
Code:
adb shell rm /system/aap/MobilePrint.odex
.
Btw, great tool, thanks!!!

Troubleshooting
Q. I am seeing No Su message but I have given the app permissions whats wrong?
A. As well as SU permissions the rom need to be setup correctly with so many roms out there were bound to have issues. You can test if it is an app issue or a rom issue by:
1.Downloading a Terminal Emulator from the Playstore (free)
2. After installing it type in su and hit enter/return it will ask for su permissions grant it.
3 Type reboot recovery hit enter/return this should reboot your device into recovery of it does not its a rom issue. Ask rom dev or try another rom.

its saying I need su installed - I do and it looks like it was granted su access ??

Please test your device is properly setup by downloading a terminal emulator from the playstore (most are free)
then type
su (enter/return) it will ask of su permissions
reboot recovery (enter/return)
If all is setup correctly your device will reboot into recovery and it is app issue else there is a problem in your rom (most likely symlinks)
Also please check you have busybox correctly installed. And have flashed the latest SuperSU zip.

You probably missed super user requesting root. Open your super user app and forget 3minit rebpoter. Then open 3minit rebopter and grant root. Enjoy. Always work Gray! - Check out this link

ran su in RTBP emulator and got this ;
checked in SU settings and its in the log as being granted -
and also the app says it was granted su permission -

AS you can see from the 1st screenshot the app has failed for the same reason terminal emulator did it can't find the reboot tool . You can try to refresh your rom and reinstall busybox to see if it helps.

I will try both - is it odd that the app quick boot works fine but your app doesn't ? everything else that needs su permissions works fine - and can recommend a busybox installer ? should I use stericcson's ?

Yes that would be strange as my app terminal emulator and quick book all work in the same exact way! Same as all roboot apps in the playstore unless it uses xposed

reflashed ROM - no luck - and stericcsons busy box says I have 1.22 installed - was gonna reinstall but it says it will reinstall v1.21 so I didn't do it -
from my VM SGS3 - jdsingle76's rooted 4.4.2 NDC - stock kernel (for now ?) ?

Using this on my gs6 920p - any way to have this pop up instead of the stock power menu when I longpress power? thanks

New Version
New version available in Playstore now its completely re-written with a all new GUI and features enjoy.

[Tutorial] Easy way to ROOT Vivo Air

Code:
#include
/*
* I am not responsible for bricked devices, dead SD cards, thermonuclear war
* or the current economic crisis caused by you following these directions.
* So don't be an *** ****
*/
DO NOT TAKE AN OTA WHILE ROOTED!!! YOU WILL HAVE A BRICK IN YOUR HANDS!!!
Hi, For while i try Root my Vivo Air and don't get much success with it... so i try a new ADB Driver* and that works :highfive:
Using vRoot you can easy root your phone BUT the problem is the Chinese SuperSU... so i get on Google a Script who Replace the Chinese SU to XDA's @Chainfire SuperSU :highfive:
So follow the Steps ;D
1 - Download vRoot , ADB installer (Just to have sure about the drivers) , Google ADB Driver Modificated to Vivo Air (Driver without Signature =/ ) and WolfDroid Script
2 - Install vRoot and ADB Installer on computer ;D
3 - Turn ON the USB Debugging ... (if you put the cable but don't appear the option to turn it on, go on settings -> about Device and click over "Build Number" 5 times to get developer Mode, than you go back and enter on Developer Options and turn on USB Debugging)
4 - than put the cable and wait the computer says about missing driver... than unzip the "Blu Vivo Air.rar"(Google Generic ADB Driver modificated to BLU Vivo Air) and go on device manager and follow the photo steps on FAQ above
5 - now turn off the Antivirus Firewall to ADB Daemon Server can Work without any restrictions
6 - execute vRoot and follow the steps on screen (Any doubts search on Youtube how to follow that) and at final step on rooting the phone will restart and maybe the computer recognized a MT65xx Driver installation but that isn't need to root... than he will show Rooted status on vRoot program
7- after all that you allow file copy to get acess to internal storage from phone to put the Folder MRW from WolfDroid Script.zip on phone and follow this steps from this official video from WolfDroid (Just to remember, is need to install a Terminal emulator app from google market to do this step)
8 - after replace the chinese SU to SuperSU you go to google market and update the SuperSU to lasted update and execute SuperSU to update the binaries and reboot
9 - Finish the process ;D

4. Do not let autostart ( You can but it is not necessary as it will install whole Lenovo crap )
5. Explore the "Lenovo disk" and run "Lenovo usb driver"
6. After driver install finish reboot your PC ( not necessary - just to be shure everything is stable in Windows )
Environment preparation
1. Download and install QPST https://cloud.mail.ru/public/4yDt/6r6cDuGzK
2. Disconnect and power OFF you Vibe
3. Push Volume Up ( DO NOT PRESS POWER BUTTON ) and simultaneously connect Vibe to USB

[ROOT][MANTIS][FIRESTICK 4K] Custom Launcher Support and System Patches

CUSTOM LAUNCHER HANDLER
(FIRESTICK 4K) - 6.2.9.0
​This is a method to enable certain features disabled/blocked by Amazon, and this method does require TWRP to be installed on the device.
This does not require any root access so you don't need to have Magisk Installed on your device.
This does require you to have a patched system boot image (boot.img) installed on the device, there are two ways of doing that.
Flash the patched boot.img (attached below) to boot partition of your device using TWRP (DO NOT USE HACKED BL/FASTBOOT). Magisk can be flashed after it if you want root access.​
Install Magisk, magisk will patch the boot.img​
As always backup your device before modifying it, in case anything goes wrong just flash the rom again without wiping anything, it will revert all the changes made to your device.
Features:
Unblocks 3rd Party Accessibility Service Access
Enables AppWidget support
Disables OOBE forced updates
Disable System OTA Updates
Gives option to remove Package Protection from individual Amazon Apps
Allows you to set any app as Custom Launcher
Root / Magisk is not required
Displays and gives option to stop Recent Apps and Background Apps
No Boot delay on using a custom launcher
Full voice search support with any third party launcher
Supports rebooting to recovery (Without root / adb)
Requirements:
Unlocked Bootloader
TWRP Access
Patched Boot Image (Either Flash the attached boot.img or just install Magisk) Not required but recommended
FireOS version 6.2.9.0
Instructions:
Flash Patched boot.img (Recommended)
Open TWRP, Click Install > Select the Patch File > Swipe to Flash.
Clean Cache/Dalvik Cache and Reboot (First boot will take some time)
Upgrading FireOS using TWRP:
download latest bin file. (e.g. mantis.bin)
download some archive tool (e.g. 7-zip)
rename the bin extension to zip (e.g. mantis.zip)
open "mantis.zip" using "7-zip" and delete all folders from zip file
now open "Scripts.zip" and extract it (download from attachment)
put the extracted folder "META-INF" into "mantis.zip"
put patched boot.img into "mantis.zip"
flash the "mantis.zip" using TWRP

Demo:
INFO:
Double Tap [Home] twice to open CLH shortcut menu (only works when CLH is enabled)
System will send com.wolf.action.DOUBLE_TAP_HOME, com.wolf.action.LONG_BACK_PRESS when Home is pressed twice and when back button is long pressed. (it will also create a home event), you can disable then using "settings put secure CL_DISABLE_HANDLE_BACK_LONG_PRESS 1" and "settings put secure CL_DISABLE_HANDLE_HOME_DOUBLE_TAP 1" using adb shell. Disabling DOUBLE TAP using this will also disable CLH menu. you can listen to those broadcast by creating broadcast listeners.
To disable protected apps using adb shell or by Debloat Toolbox, first you will need to uncheck those apps from "Procted Packages" from CLH shortcut menu.
OTA are disabled but if you still encounter issues just clear run this in adb shell "pm uninstall com.amazon.device.software.ota" to clear any updates to the app itself and then clear settings app using "pm clear com.amazon.tv.settings.v2" to clear its database.
If you don't have root and are not able to use ADB (and has removed TWRP bootmenu), you can use CLH's "Reboot to Recovery" option to reboot to TWRP. It doesn't use ADB or Root.
If you want to exclude some app from Permissions check just add android:sharedUserId="com.sween.wolf" in the manifest of that app.

Wow, this great work! I love the new features.
But everything is either Plus or Max these days. It should be 'Launcher Manager Plus' or 'Launcher Manager Max'

Can you make anything like this for firestick lite?

Without a device i will not be able to test the patches. I don't want to make someone's stick a paperweight.
Maybe I will create a version but will not be able to maintain it.

How I can set unlocked bootloader on the stick?

Nothing to worry about as long as the preloader is untouched
and maybe a bit easier, since there isn't an efuse to keep from burning

Thank you for your hard work! I'm having a problem with my FireStick after I flashed patch 6.2.9.0 my stick won't boot anymore . It just gets to the FireTV loading screen and doesn't get any further. What can I do?

Thank you, yeah I had flashed the boot image too. I ended up reflashing my stick with the full firmware and it's booting again now. I'll stick to the regular the Launcher Manager for now.

@SweenWolf can you create Wolf Laucher Manager with root supported? Old LM use adb only to work !!!
