[Tutorial] Manually change the watermark for the MIUI Camera (rooted device) - Xiaomi Mi 9 Themes, Apps, and Mods

Introduction:
MIUI 10 on MI 9 gives us the ability to “slightly” personalize the Camera Watermark used by stock MIUI Camera, which is stamped on the lower-left corner of each photo when the feature is enabled.
This customization is quite limited since it allows:
- One line of text no longer than 18 letters
- It won’t allow to change nor hide the first line of the watermark (“Shot on MI 9”
- It won’t allow changing the watermark logo
I am well aware there are thousands of third-party applications on PlayStore which will allow editing of the photos, using whatever image as watermark.
However, in my personal experience as a photographer, there are some circumstances where “fast is better” and you do not want to take all the extra steps to watermark a photo intended for quick social consumption.
This is a “dirt” way to overcome the limitations mentioned above while retaining the ease and speed of implementation that I believe can interest a large part of users.
DISCLAIMER:
By following this tutorial, you are going to alter system files: although it is not a “critical” MOD, I am not responsible for any kind of trouble this may cause.
As always, backup is better than restoring. Make a backup copy of the original watermark before doing anything.
Requirements:
You will need a Rooted device since the watermark file is part of system files
You will need a File Explorer of your choice installed on your device
Procedure:
Open the MIUI Camera, enter the Options menu, and if you haven’t done so already enable the Watermark option
Select the “Custom Watermark” from the same menu, and enter some text.
Confirm and save by clicking on the check icon in the top right corner of the screen
Force close the MIUI Camera and Open the preferred File Manager
The original custom watermark files are called “cepheus_main_space_custom_watermark” and "cepheus_main_space_ultra_pixel_custom_watermark"; they are stored in /data/data/com.android.camera/files/
Make a backup copy of this file, then export to your preferred graphics editor for customization.
Default watermark is 1800x195 px @72ppi. I suggest keeping the same specifics for the new file. Remember to export the new watermark as PNG with Transparent Background.
Once your new watermark is ready, you simply need to copy the PNG file to your device, overwriting the original.
Restart the MIUI Camera and voilà, your watermark is now available.
Update for Latest MIUI 11:
With the arrival of MIUI 11 some details are changed regarding the stock Camera app and the “workaround” to change the default watermark.
One major change is that there are now two watermark files:
cepheus_main_space_custom_watermark.png
cepheus_main_space_ultra_pixel_custom_watermark.png
As the name suggests, the second file is used when taking photos using the "48 MP" option.
The second less obvious but quite obnoxious change regards the use of a "remote download" function to replace the original watermark file if tampered.
It took me a bit of trial-and-error to understand that the camera application was actually downloading the default watermark file each time the application was closed and/or the phone was rebooted.
(this is why you might have noticed a strange behaviour where your watermark is initially changed without any issue but then appears to revert back to the original)
In order to solve this issue, you need to prevent the MIUI Camera Application from accessing the internet.
You can do this in any way you like, I prefer using NetGuard by Marcel Bokhorst. (link)
If you use the same method, here are the two process that needs to be blocked:
com.xiaomi.cameratools
com.android.camera
Please Note: If you use the "Short Movie" advanced animations feature I advise to download all the required files before customizing the watermark, thus blocking camera application from internet access.
Firewall Alternative for VPN Users:
If you are using a VPN you might find unpractical to switch between NetGuard and your VPN Profile.
In this case, a good alternative is AFWall+ by ukpriya (available on FDroid).
Just remember to switch to the "Block Selected" operation mode and, after selecting all the checkboxes for Camera App select the "Apply" / "Enable Firewall" button in Settings.
Final Observations:
Editing again the watermark using the “Custom Watermark” option inside MIUI Camera options will probably cause some issues. If you want to revert to the Original Watermark either restore the backup *.png or restore MIUI Camera Data.
Future ROM Updates will, quite certainly, restore the default watermark: keep a copy of your personalized watermark somewhere on your “data” partition so you can easily restore.
Future ROM Updates will not overwrite the custom watermark files, unless you perform a "Full Wipe" or you perform a "Data Wipe" for the Camera App. Anyway, since it's always a good practice to keep a backup of your files, I strongly suggest keeping a copy of your custom watermarks someplace safe.
I have attached the original *.PNG watermark, just in case.

Auto updates of software - how to?

Hi,
I need auto update functionality for my application. I.e., the new exe/dll shall be downloaded by GPRS and existing program files shall be replaced. Now I wonder, how this could be done in an easy way.
The problem is, that the application is continuously running and updates shall be done more or less "on the fly". Currently, the application is automatically started on boot through registry settings in HKLM/init
So my idea was the following: Creating a "starter programme" for the application: When the device (HTC ARTEMIS) is booted, the starter programme is first launched (through HKLM/init), looks into a pre-defined directory if there are any files. If there are, these files are copied into the directory of the application. Afterwards, the starter programme launches the main application. Do you think that could work? Or are there any better ways (maybe even supported by the OS) to perform SW-updates?

I have auto update functionality in my commercial application.
1) When data is replicated to server, main appliation also check availability of new version. If new version is available a and upgrade is mandatory, application launch new process - updater.exe.
2) Updater waiting to main application correct exit (saving data on dirty forms etc.)
3) After main application exit updater download new version descriptor (list of files with targer location, install scripts (dll with well known special interface which can be used for many special tasks - create shortcuts, delete file, modify registry, install new certificate). Updater downloads all files, process install scripts and then launch main application again. New install CAB file is usually stored to extended ROM (autoinstall after HARD Reset).
As a server component is used web service with some methods (GetDescriptor, DownloadFile).

Seems to be a good idea. This way, you can update the application while it's running and changes become active when the device is rebooted or the application is exited and started again. It's just excellent.
My needings were more simple, so the update feature I designed works as following:
1. The program is divided into a launcher, an updater library and the true application.
2. When the program is started, the launcher copy the update library call such a copy (just call it updlibcpy).
3. updlibcpy uses http to check if an update is available. The check is performed by downloading an "update manifest" containing the MD5 hash of each file of the updated application and checking it against the MD5 hashes of the current program files.
4. If one or more files need to be updated, updlibcpy does the task. Since only updated files are downloaded, no bandwidth is wasted. The only file that cannot be updated is the launcher, but it is so simple that it should never need an update.
5. When updlibcpy has ended, the control is passed back to the launcher, which invokes the true application executable.
The main difficulty was handling the high packet loss that the HTC devices I used has shown. This caused frequent application hang-ups during start-up, unless the GPRS connection was terminated and started again. Once I solved this problem by giving a timeout to the update (using threads), all worked perfectly.
The only improvement I'm thinking about is some sort of "transactionality" of the update, so that if one file updates correctly while another doesn't, the succesfully updated files roll back to the not updated version.

V3.90 Debloater(Lets remove all that carrier bloat !! Root not required..)

Debloater by Gatesjunior
Disclaimer:
I nor XDA are responsible for anything that you choose to do with this program to your device or others. Modifying my code or redistributing it is not allowed without prior approval from me. Yes, that includes Kanging it, I will be able to tell. Neither is trying to use any of my code to create an apk file with my code logic allowed without prior approval from me.
Donations:
"If this application helps you out, please consider a small monetary donation to further improve development of this application. You can Donate by clicking the "Donate to Me" button on your left, underneath my Profile picture.
Background:
So after many times of going back and forth blocking / disabling apps on my devices through the command line and or shell, I decided to write a program to make this all much easier for myself. Well, after I got it all finally running and doing what I wanted, for each particular device I own, I decided that his was a pretty nice program and I wanted to share it with the community. After all, this community is where I started and learned a lot of the things I know today. So why not share with my family of Android enthusiasts.
Requirements:
The program requires that your manufacturer USB drivers are installed for your specific device as well as the following:
• Windows Operating System
• USB Debugging turned on for your device
• Root or KitKat and above running on your device
Some people have had trouble getting their PC to see their device, even with the device manufacturer drivers installed. Watch your device when you plug it in and authorize your computer to access it, the device should display a popup something for you to grant access to the PC. If it does not, go into Settings, Developer Options and look for an option that says something about Revoke USB debugging authorizations and tap it. Click ok. Now, unplug your device and plug it in while watching your device and click on the option to always allow this computer and then grant when the popup window displays.
What does it do?:
• Block / Disable applications on your device
• UnBlock / Enable applications on your device
• Allow UnBlock / Enable all applications at once on your device
• Allows filtering of the displayed packages for quicker decision making
• Allows exporting your blocked / unblocked listing to a file (Right click on Read Device Packages after list is loaded)
• Allows importing your blocked, or someone else's, listing (Right click on Read Device Packages after list is loaded)
• Allows complete removal of application(s) if you have root (It will backup the original folder structure and apk for you, just in case you need to restore the application(s) back to your device.
So, essentially what it does is this. It will disable / block any system and third party application on your device with ease and allow you to enable / unblock the application just as easy. It also reads everything, real-time, directly from your device, so that there are no messy batch files, scripts and txt files, etc. that you have to maintain and keep track of for every device you own. I mean let’s be honest, most of us own more than one device. Phones, tablets, etc. Who wants to maintain all those scripts and files for every device? The other nice thing that this program does is allow you to, at a granular level, control what is blocked/disabled and what is not. There are quite a few scripts and things like this available in the community that give everyone a start on what to disable/block, but who wants to scour through these scripts and decide what they want or don’t want with something someone else put together. The other nice feature of the program is it will display information for you about your device. Such as Model number, Serial number and battery status. As well as whether or not your device is rooted or not.
What audience of device does it support?:
This program supports many devices. It will support any device running KitKat or above, whether rooted or not. That’s right, if your running KitKat or above, your device does not need to be rooted. If you’re running anything other than KitKat or above, your device does need to be rooted. As long as these requirements are met the program will run. The program will also auto-detect whether or not your device is supported. So if you are not sure, plug it in and let the program tell you. If your device is not supported, it will put up a message saying as much and close the program.
Program Functionality:
The first thing you need to make sure of is that USB debugging is turned on for your device. The video at the end of this OP is a must to watch. It will describe this process as well as allowing adb shell permissions.
So when you first connect your device you will need to wait for the program to detect your device and whether or not it is supported. Once this is established, usually within a couple of seconds, it will display a warning message to you reminding you to be careful with what you disable and block. Yes, it will allow you, if your device is supported, to disable/block even system dependent applications. This message will also include, if your device does not support block mode, a message indicating that block mode is not supported and that it will disable the applications. Here is a sample screenshot of this.
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
Once the program has initialized, and the warning message has been presented, it will put you into the main program screen itself which will look like the following.
From here the first thing you need to do is click the Read Device Packages button on the upper left. This will initiate the process to start reading all of the applications on your device and then list them in a list in the window. It will also indicate to you what it detects as applications that are already disabled/blocked on your device by putting a checkmark in the box next to the application. It will look similar to this.
As you can see it will tell you in the upper right how many applications it detects as blocked and not blocked. You will notice that on the bottom left it has an indicator that is labeled Synced. As you make changes to the device application listing this will turn red. In other words, it will indicate whether you have made changes to the device application listing since the last sync. Also, in the upper right there is a counter labeled Changed. This indicates the number of changes you have made to the device application listing since last sync.
Once you have made any changes to the device application listing an Apply button will show up in the upper left replacing the existing Read Device Packages button, it will look like the following.
Once you click the Apply button the existing changes you made to the device application listing will be applied to your device. Keep in mind that you can disable/block and enable/unblock applications all at the same timeand then apply those changes to your device. After you have applied the changes to your device a message will be displayed stating the status of your changes as seen below.
Once the changes are applied to your device you now just click the Read Device Packages button again to reload the information from your device and you will now notice that the application(s) you just made changes to will indicate as much in the refreshed listing. As seen below.
You will notice that the particular application I asked it to disable/block has now a check mark next to it indicating that the device itself has disabled/blocked this application.
So now on to filtering. Lets say you want to limit the listing to specific items you are searching for within the package name. Like packages that contain "vzw" for Verizon. You will see below by clicking the filter checkbox and then typing in what I want to filter on, it will limit the list to your specific filter criteria immediately.
And here is the results of our filter below.
From here I can make changes to the listing, by checking the box next to the packages or I can simply uncheck the filter checkbox and return back to the full listing unfiltered.
O.k., so far so good. Now let’s say that you want to enable/unblock all the applications on your device. Maybe you’re selling it or maybe you have an issue with it and you want your carrier to take a look at it. By clicking the Unblock All Packages button and then click Apply this will enable/unblock all applications on your device. As if it is back to factory with no changes made.
Remove mode turned on. For all you root users, this will completely remove the application(s) in the exact same manner and will keep a backup for you in the install folder under Backup of the original apk files. They will also be kept in the original file structure they came from on the device so that it will make it easy for you if you have to push one back to your device. Here is an example of the remove mode turned on and the warning you will receive when it is active for the device that is rooted.
Also, after you have removed the application(s) you want, if you Reload Device Packages again, you will notice them in the list and checked. This is in fact accurate, it sees them as removed / uninstalled. To not have them show up in the list any longer, just reboot your phone and run the program again and you will see that they no longer show up in the listing.
Sharing your blocked list or re-import it to your device:
So there are times when you get a replacement device and do not want to have to go through all the pain remembering what you had blocked. Well to the rescue comes the export/import functionality of the application. This will allow you to export and import your blocked list. You also might want to share it with someone. So this is how it works:
Once you launched the program and have clicked the Read Device Packages and your list is up, you can right click on the Read Device Packages button and export the blocked packages to a file and share it. Then the person receiving it just does the same process, but when they right click on the Read Device Packages, they just choose import blocked packages and then click the Apply button. Done.. You of course can do this yourself to your device. This can come in very handy if you have to Wipe Data, because you blocked something you should not have and your device is experiencing issues.
Well community people that is it. I hope you enjoy the program as much as I do and look forward to your feedback. Gatesjunior signing out…

Change Log:
01/09/2015: Initial Release
01/10/2015: Updated the handling of application filtering determining what is disabled / blocked
01/11/2015: Updated application (v2.1) to hopefully help address the local Administrator issues
01/12/2015: Major update v2.8 (Fixes all the users not being able to see packages - Xposed Framework fix)
1/13/2015: (v2.9) Fixed an issue with an Out of Bounds Exception in certain cases.
1/15/2015: (v2.10) Complete rewrite of the filter engine, all interactive and immediate now. Also some cleanup.
1/16/2015: (v3.0) Root mode added with ability to completely remove application(s), with backup feature.
1/17/2015: (V3.1) Added new intro screen as well as import blocked list functionality.
1/18/2015: (V3.2) Added some hover helper text. If you hover over a major item it will display helper text.
1/19/2015: (V3.3) Fixed some more Xposed framework issues that would impact rooted users and removing packages as well as fixed some import logic to make it more reliable and optimized.
1/23/2015: (V3.4) Major update and bug fixes as follows:
•Interactive search now also supports searching through the package name(s) as well as the apk file(s)
•Bugs related to duplicate entries showing up when you Read Device Packages multiple times with filter on and off are fixed. This could have caused issues with some users saying it will not remove something.
•Blocking mode fully supported on 4.4.x, found a major bug that was preventing this with rooted devices
•APK file backups now include Odex files if they exist with the APK
•Remove option now completely removes both apk and odex, so yes, previous builds would have left the odex files behind. They will not hurt anything, but take up space. I will release a quick fix for the cleanup of those soon, if you cannot do it yourself.
•Buttons appearing where they should not at times with filter is fixed
•If you have disabled something on the phone itself or in a script, and are rooted, the program will not care any longer and will unblock them anyway.
(1/31/2015: (V3.5) Major logic update. I think I finally put a nail in the coffin with the Xposed Framework issues and removing applications. Also added the functionality where once you import a blocked list all the items will turn red for the changes it has made.
(2/6/2015): V3.6 Quite a few additional options. Including the following:
Ability to only show blocked packages, unblocked packages and all packages. (Just right click on either Read Device Packages button or Apply button after initial package listing is displayed.)
Ability to right click now on not only the Read Device Packages button, but also the Apply button.
Ability to import unblocked listing (Yes, changes will be made red to identify what would be unblocked before Applying)
Ability to sort by either APK Filename or Package Name and be able to sort in either Ascending order or Descending order in each area.
Complete removal of all associated data and folders that pertains to a package if the Remove option is selected (Root Mode only)
(2/7/2015): V3.7 Added a checkbox identifier on Display mode to let users know which Display Mode they are in currently.
------ (Fix was placed into this build later that fixes the UnBlock All Packages button bug..)
(3/28/2015): V3.8 Added Lollipop support for rooted / non-rooted users. It will now support hiding the packages, if you are rooted it will disable them instead. Also, you will notice if you right click on the Read Device Packages after it loads there is also a Backup / Restore menu option. Do not use those yet, I am still working on them.
(4/4/2015): V3.85 Fixed issue with base.apk flags being read incorrectly from device. Logic issue.
(4/12/2015): Updated a logic issue in the detection of the device and it's abilities. Same release number, v3.85
(5/24/2015): Fixed an issue during import of a blocked list that would flag all "base.apk" files..
(1/7/2018): Added newer Android Debug Bridge Files..
Hold
For me..
Looking Good video coming soon
I can't wait to give this a run.
Well be getting a note edge soon for testing, and looking forward to giving this a shot.
OP updated now with Video..
Great application but not working on my Droid Razr M (XT907) with latest OTA firmware on it.
Pressing "Read Device Packages" and nothing comes up.
Just tried it on my AT&T Note 4. It seemed to work, great job and thanks for building this app.

Look back a post and try that one.. Also, send me a screen shot.. Make sure USB debugging is on and in the correct mode as well.
This version works, thanks!
Will be great if this soft give option to disable modem fast dormancy service without root access.
Anyway, thanks.
My AV detects Malware.
Using licensed ESET - no malware detected.
Just disabled FastDormancy.apk (com.motorola.fastdormancy) - how to check if its disabled? In Running programs still see this service is running.

It doesn't like the behavior of the program LOL
I cant get it to download from the webpage. I tried the one in the drive folder and it does not see my phone. Verizon Note 4. Looks awesome, cant wait to get it working!
Got it. I guess the server is overloaded!
Great job on this project addition. I'll be adding your link to my XDA signature this afternoon. Like you and many others, I too believe that until root is achieved on our devices (for those unable to at this time) that having this capability to do with our devices is the next best thing; hands down!
Again, great job to you and to the others like RootJunky and Misterxtc for making this possible for the community here at XDA.
Dear gatesjunior,
I wonder how you'r software disable/enable apk's?
For example: on my device (xt907) I'm not able to complete disable fast dormancy service (see screenshot) only "Force stop" it for a while.
Wonder which method you are using to disable it complete (are you disable it or just force stop it?)

[ROM][MOD][6.0.1][G532 M/F/G/MT] DebloatX script with S8 icons/launcher[2.6 GB Free]

DebloatedX ROM for Samsung Galaxy J2 Prime! (MOD/SCRIPT)​By: ShaDisNX255!​
Based on Xtreme ROM​Xtreme ROM by: @Misma13​
Warnings!:
* Flashing this zip will factory reset your phone!
* PLEASE CHECK THE LIST OF APPS REMOVED DOWN BELOW!!!!!
* I am removing apps that I don't need! Key word being "I". So by flashing this you are accepting my conditions. In other words, I get to choose what apps are being deleted. If you have a request of an app you don't want removed, you can easily search for the apk file on the internet or on Google Playstore. If you have a request of an app you want removed but is not included in my zip, and enough people request it, I can update my file (or you can update it yourself, if you want) to delete extra apps or exclude them from being deleted.
* Since there are a lot of apps that I am removing, there's a big possibility that I may break something like a feature YOU may be interested in. Be warned that you may experience sudden FC or a feature you want not to work. Please report if anything that YOU use is not working so I can add it to the not working list. So far, of what I've used I have not encountered any FC or any bugs, but there is always a possibility that it can happen
* I can't stress this out enough, I AM NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY DAMAGE TO YOUR DEVICE, YOU ARE FLASHING THIS ON YOUR OWN RISK!
* Both these Scripts/Mods eliminate quite a few system apps. If you are planning on returning to stock, change ROMs or switch between V1 and V2 of my Script, it is NECESSARY to re-flash stock via Odin and then try the new ROM/Script
Apps that are being deleted:

As the developers here would say it:
Code:
Your warranty is now void. *
* We are not responsible for bricked devices, dead SD cards,
* thermonuclear war, or you getting fired because the alarm app failed. Please
* do some research if you have any concerns about flashing this zip file
* before flashing it! YOU are choosing to make these modifications, and if
* you point the finger at us for messing up your device, we will laugh at you. HARD!
* */
Features:
Debloated 100%
S8 icons and launcher
Bike Mode working
S8 weather widget
MiXplorer file manager added

Bugs:
Samsung's e-mail crashes when you try to open an e-mail with more than one receiver (working on a fix)
The Home screen will always have 2 scrollable screens, can't delete one of them to make it just one
Home screen settings > home screen layout > "home screen only" crash.. force to close
Changelog:
31/01/18: Added FlashNotification to both V1 and V2 of my scripts. This will make the front-facing function as a notification LED. It is really useful since this phone does not have a dedicated Notification LED

26/01/18: Release
Requirements:
TWRP

Download the SuperSU "SR5-SuperSU-v2.82-SR5-20171001224502.zip" file from this thread
STEP-BY-STEP:
(Make sure you have OEM Unlocked before trying this procedure out. To do this, you need to activate developer options by tapping on "Build number" 7 times located under Settings>About Device>Software Info. Then, go to Settings>Developer Options and make sure OEM Unlock is enabled)
0. PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE, read the warnings!
1. Boot into recovery
2. Flash the "DebloatedX_J2Prime" file
3. Root via the method you want (flash SuperSU zip) or you can use Magisk
4. Flash the no-verity zip
5. You now have a fully debloated J2 Prime! with S8 icons
Special thanks to:
@ashyx for porting TWRP to our crappy device xd
@Misma13 for creating Xtreme ROM which I took a few apps to add S8 icons and launcher, as well as a few other apps
@spacejam for creating the app "FrontFlash Notification" (Original thread here)
Screenshots
(Attached)
DebloatedX V2 (MOD/SCRIPT)​

New S8 incallUI
S8 weather widget
E-mail bug fixed
Traditional icons (no S8)

- i had a loop with the "samsung weather location" in the config menu (in the first boot, when we introduce our google account) it don't let me agree whit the terms. i had to disagree to enter to home screen.
- when i change the value on "app screen grid" (4x4 5x5 6x6) it does change it but don't show the icons... i need to reboot device to see the changes.
- i can't delete the second home screen. it don't show the garbage icon when i long-hold the side screen.
- "home screen settings > home screen layout > home screen only" crash.. force to close.
i know this are software bugs. but i'm just reporting it.

The script factory resets your phone, deteles bloatware, and then installs S8 icons and launcher. It is still stock settings, it just replaces a few things.

Yes, it seems that location is set to "Device only". Weather location tries to change it to change it to "high accuracy" but it crashes the app. You need to change to "High accuracy" manually and then try to set up weather via the widget.

This is a known "bug" among ports of the S8 home app drawer ports. To avoid rebooting the device to see the effects, just keep swiping right and it should update itself

Yeah, it's an inherited problem thanks to the S8 drawer I put on this device :/
I found that the S8 icons break Samsung e-mail. On my V2 version I will remove S8 icons because Samsung e-mail is important to me
Until I get them to work together, I will not add them back

I don't wanna be rude or misunderstood but i edit your script and delete all the s8 part... i prefer the 100% the debloated rom + nova launcher (it looks more like stock android).
thanks for all your help and hope you can develop some custom rom in the near future.
i see you already had the knowledge and still waiting for the version 2 of this thead.

Hello OP.
i have a question so maybe you can help me.
I edit your script and added some lines to delete in system and priv-app (samsung contacts, email, fbinstaller, etc.) but i end up somehow erasing the dialer app (my guess is that is connected to samsungcontacts app). Trying to find de apk of the dialer i found this thread ( https://forum.xda-developers.com/android/apps-games/mod-google-pixel-contact-dialer-t3479715 ) and it works great to me... so my questions is:
If i want to add to your script the google dialer&contact apk, i just need to copy the respective files in the "priv-app" folder? substituting the "samsungInCallUI" folder?
thanks in advance for your comments.
-edit-
Also, i saw you have 2 files in the META-INF folder: 1.-updater-script and 2.-WORKING... wich one is the one? or it need the two file to debloat device?
thanks for your comments.

I edit your script and added some lines to delete in system and priv-app (samsung contacts, email, fbinstaller, etc.) but i end up somehow erasing the dialer app (my guess is that is connected to samsungcontacts app). Trying to find de apk of the dialer i found this thread ( https://forum.xda-developers.com/android/apps-games/mod-google-pixel-contact-dialer-t3479715 ) and it works great to me... so my questions is:
If i want to add to your script the google dialer&contact apk, i just need to copy the respective files in the "priv-app" folder? substituting the "samsungInCallUI" folder?
thanks in advance for your comments.
-edit-
Also, i saw you have 2 files in the META-INF folder: 1.-updater-script and 2.-WORKING... wich one is the one? or it need the two file to debloat device?
thanks for your comments.

I'm almost sure you don't have to replace "SamsungInCallUI" as I think that's specific with the Samsung dialer, or so I would think.
I would go ahead and delete that folder
Yes, all you would need to do is copy the GoogleContacts and GoogleDialer folders in the priv-app folder
And as for the updater-script, you can ignore the one that says "WORKING"
When I was testing the script, I couldn't get the format /data function to work properly and it kept making some apps crash
The "WORKING" script was the first version of the script I got to work on this device. After that, I kept editing the script until I got it to work
So, "updater-script" formats /data correctly and "WORKING" just factory resets without formatting /data

:in Matthew McConaughey voice: alright alright alright:
thanks for the comments... i will try and delete "working" file.
by the way, do you think i'll f*ck up the device if i add the line "system/priv-app/SmartManager_v4" (device maintenance) to your debloat script?
sorry for all the questions.. its just that i like purging bloatware.
again...thanks for your comments.

Well, I really can't tell for sure. I mean all that it really does is eliminate temporary files and close background apps. You can certainly try, but again, I always recommend a backup first
