As normal, it's not my fault if you fubar your tab by flashing this or if zombies come and speedhump your cat. You've been warned.
Well, hello there, some of you may know me from my vzwtab (7") work, but I'm sure most of you don't.
No matter, I just finished deodexing my framework and app folders, so I decided to share with you.
This isn't anything special, just you're stock system that's been deodexed, I did not remove any programs, there are really only three or so 'bloatware' apps on here, so I didn't bother.
If you would like to, just use root file explorer (or your preferred method) to remove them.
In addition to the stock items I have added pershoot's SU/Busybox/misc package (SOURCE) All credit goes to him for that.
If there's anything else, just let me know. I have tested this on my own rooted tab and everything seems to work fine and be stable.
If you notice any issues, please format/clear both Dalvik & normal Cache. It's probably the cause.
Features
Deodexed flashable system
Pershoot's SU/Busybox/misc pacakage (nano, VIM, all kinds of other goodies)
Changelog
06212011- r1 - Initial Release
Known Issues
You may have to go through and manually delete your odex's in /system/app/ and /system/framework/ but the apk's and jar's no longer call them. (I can't get the amend format command working right. if you want to tell me how, please!)
Installation
Reboot into CWM either via ROM Manager or via power off, volume down + power, volume down to CWM icon and volume up to select.
Select Install Zip from SD Card
Navigate to location of zip and select okay
Clear Cache and Dalvik Cache (in advanced)
Reboot

awesome finally someone to break ground for the Samsung Galaxy tab! Thanks will try it out!
Not sure if it matters but is this for retail or I/o version? Does it matter since it is basically the same tab?
For any ideas: maybe you could include a way for hulu to work without any work arounds? And maybe some lag fixes. Although that may be solved with a custom kernel.
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA Premium App
Decided to test this on the retail version.
The only problem is that root is broken because there are two su binaries installed.
/system/bin/su - installed from file Samsung_Galaxy_Tab_10.1_root.zip when you rooted the device.
/system/xbin/su - installed when you added [Tools] – SU/BusyBox/Misc – Galaxy Tab 10.1 (Update: 6/18/11).
To fix:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=14016703&postcount=18
------
the /system/bin/su binary need to be removed.
Su does not work on the tablet with two su binaries installed.
Use adb to remove /system/bin/su
adb remount
adb shell
cd /system/bin
rm su
reboot
I tried running titanium backup prior to a reboot after removing /system/bin/su and it would not work. I uninstalled/reinstalled and it worked, but a reboot may have fixed the problem.
I manually deleted all the odex files - no problems so far. I will provide an update later if I have problems.
------------
You can remove /system/bin/su when you update the image again.
JD
Yeah, I just noticed that myself actually. Don't know why I didn't catch it before.
Anywho, I think I'll prolly push an update to this tomorrow after I write a script to remove the odex's. It was my initial thought, but I thought it would be easier to used the updater-script to do it, but looks like just writing an additional one will be best.
Glad the su thing didn't confuse you too much!
Sweet thanks for this. Going to give it a whirl!
I flashed the Samsung_Galaxy_Tab_10.1_root.zip after flashing the Rom. Everying is working fine.
I didn't need to remove su from anywhere.

If you have both su binaries - and all works - good to hear. I will flash again, but will reboot a second time to see if it matters. Those apps did not run until I remove the su from bin.
Strange how two devices with the same specs operate different on certain software.
JD
shouldn't that have been:
cd /system/bin ?
i didn't try mine w both since i didn't want hassle of find out if it worked or not. no reason for 2 su's.

Is there an original keyboard apk that I can just install?

If you don't know how to restore a backup, you probably didn't make one...
The keyboard has more than just the apk to it, so it's a bit more complicated than just switching the old apk back...
Ask in the keyboard thread, because I'm sure you're not the only one.

Get a copy of your existing ROM.
Extract the following files:
LatinIME.apk
libjni_latinime.so
The apk goes in /system/app
The lib.so goes in /system/lib
You'll have to remove (rm) the existing files...
It will be far easier for you to do in Root Explorer.
Reboot when done.

Adb shell

And there you go got stock back..works both ways too if want to push gb kb
but to do this make sure Adb is in environment variable
If not gonna have to put all files in sdk folder where Adb is at

I was able to get the hulu mod to work inside dolphin browser HD, and also the tethering option in the laptop dock to work, I used Ririal's script to root the phone on the latest 4.1.57 and then ran these commands in a adb shell as ROOT :
for hulu please updated flash player to 10.2 first in the market then apply the libflashplayer.so (can be found in the latest gingerblur package) file to lib folder of the flash player ::>
cp -f libflashplayer.so /data/data/com.adobe.flashplayer/lib
then we go on to unlocking the APN's and borrow some of the code from gingerblur mod from the addons batch file ::>
mount -o rw,remount /dev/block/mmcblk0p12 /system
cp -f sqlite3 /system/bin/sqlite3
chmod 755 /system/bin/sqlite3
sqlite3 /data/data/com.android.providers.telephony/databases/telephony.db "UPDATE carriers set preloaded='false';"
/system/bin/sqlite3 /data/data/com.android.providers.telephony/databases/telephony.db "INSERT INTO carriers (name, numeric, mcc, mnc, apn, user, server, password, proxy, port, mmsproxy, mmsport, mmsc, mmsc2, authtype, type, current, preloaded) VALUES ('AT&T (FREE TETHER)','310410','310','410','wap.cingular','[email protected]','','CINGULAR1','','80','wireless.cingular.com ','80','http://mmsc.cingular.com ','','-1','','1','false');"
reboot
and now you are done, next go to the APN's and check they are unlocked then change the AT$T US tether APN type to nothing, then add the "tether" with a comma at the end of the APN type of AT$T US HSDPA , then reboot the phone, once in webtop you can change from the free tether to hdspa then the verification nag will go away and you will be able use the laptop dock.
If anyone can put all this in a script as i got no brains to do a script right now
DO THIS AT YOUR OWN RISK, I AM NOT RESPONSIBLE IN ANY WAY IF YOU BRICK YOUR PHONE OR ANYTHING THAT RELATES TO THIS POST, THIS IS FOR INFORMATIONAL PURPOSES ONLY !
With that being said have fun
EDIT :
And confirmed sideloading working, issue this command in adb shell as ROOT ::>
sqlite3 /data/data/com.android.providers.settings/databases/settings.db "UPDATE secure SET value=1 WHERE name='install_non_market_apps';"
Then reboot, now you can install apps direct from the sd card.
EDIT 2:
Commands corrected now.

Not to detract from the thread, but this enabler is a simpler way of getting sideloading/tethering APNs installed. No need for manual commands assuming you used the correct tools to root in the first place (i.e. sqlite3 is installed.).

Will THis Mod Work without Gingerblur
I've been too lazy to install Gingerblur but wanted to see if this mod will work without it. Thanks!
Couldn't you just use the zip files
(hulu,webtop,hdmi etc) included separately in the kennethpenns gingerblur thread? Wouldnt that work through tenfars cwm without actually installing gingerblur itself or are those specific to gingerblur only?
Edit: Actually I just answered my own question! lol the zips all install fine on stock 4.1.57 with root but do they work? I'll find out soon enough...

That i have no idea if it is possible or not, as these commands are for the purists that want CrapyBlur on and the original look without doing anything else to the file system.
I think it is in gingerblur add on packages BUT you would need the sqlite from the main package, so i guess this is the best bet for now !

Although, what have you guys seen in terms of how well HULU works? For me it's a little buggy. The video has issues with commercials not loading properly. I assume this is normal.
But all the other video controls seem to be fickle

The reason ads wont play is probably because you have ad blocking setup on your phone. What rom and root did you use? The regular vids will still play but commercials wont come through. LOL big loss!
thanks
you are right. it does work without the ads working. one thing i noticed is that the speed is a little slow on hulu using the webtop. i.e. the video is choppy. has anyone had any experiemce with that? is it something that can be sped up?

I noticed that too. Honestly gingerblur somehow, someway was having an adverse reaction on my wifi(though I seem to be the only one with this problem) I flashed back to stock, rooted, installed all the seperate zips from gingerblur without installing gingerblur itself using tenfars cwm recovery. Then I flashed gladiatrix rom also and my wifi has been perfect and hulu is running at normal speed with no choppiness.
The only thing with hulu is you gotta uninstall flash player 10.2 and grab the one from the market. Then grab a file called libflashplayer.so and copy it to data/data/com.adobeflashplayer/lib put it inside that folder using root explorer and it should ask you to overwrite click yes. Then open dolphin hd in settings make sure flash plugin is set to always on and that the agent is set as desktop. Then go to hulu.com click a video and it should play fine and with sound cause I was having a problem with no sound but this fixes it!
As far as the webtop is concerned?I think the webtop in general is buggy and laggy but still an awesome feature to have it probably will get better with more updates.
just wanna be sure here the only line i need to enable the hulu mod is this?
cp -f libflashplayer.so /data/data/com.adobe.flashplayer/lib

Just push the apk and the lib file via adb.
Drop the files in your tools folder in sdk (if you don't have sdk installed...shame on you )
Then open a terminal and enter the following...
adb push LatinIME.apk /system/app
adb push libjni_latinime.so /system/lib
then reboot and you should be all set.

With Facebook turned off, the First seems like a terrific phone, particularly for those who do not want (what can be confusing) Manufacturer's extras. I found the S4 particularly confusing AND annoying, particularly after coming from an unbranded, generic Chinese manufacture phone.
Although the First stock ROM is nearly bloat-free, is there a "GE" ROM available for the First that does not lock-in the AT&T extras such as their tethering check, Free Wireless app, Video Messaging, etc? I figure I would rather add features than have them as default.
Mine is due tomorrow!

Absolutely Android v4.0.3. It was a MTK6575 Android (w007) iPhone clone. Really nice until the backlight (or LCD) died after 7 months. So it still works, just can't tell what you are doing.
Tried a Galaxy S4 Active with an ATT ST SIM,, but it was REALLY locked down and the ROM crazy busy.
I figured the First can be my next phone unless it becomes a "holding pattern" for the Moto X or Nexus 5

Bloatware is usually in "\system\app\" alongside essential system apps. If you're not sure about an app just Google the filename.
To clean an installed rom use ADB with root permissions. If you boot your phone into recovery you can use these commands without obtaining root in ADB shell.
Code:
adb shell
cd /system/apps
ls
rm ATT_myATT.apk
To delete those files from a ROM zip, you need to be in Linux. The reason is Android contains files that have the same names but only differ in caSE (because its design was so carefully thought out), so you need case sensitive file system support to save the zip. I just load up an Ubuntu live CD or USB drive to do the dirty work.

Yes I did. I simply took them from a stock rom. Which I'm sure anyone could do - just I know I never thought to until i'm at a point where I have no choice but to flash back to stock. So now everyone has them handy.
They are simple file copies. It's not a flashable zip. Extract and use adb to push or simply copy to your device. Again these are mainly for those who are building custom TouchWiz based roms and want to include some of the bloat - but can be used by those who need some of the applications for whatever reason. But they aren't flashable and some probably will have to be replaced using adb push.
I will try to work on a flashable zip but that will take me some time. Also a flashable zip file doesn't help those whom say only want Sprint's Zone app for example but don't need the rest of the bloat. Just saying. But will post when I have made flashable zips for all-in-one bloat.

Someone else chime in here if this is wrong:
but... some of the touchwiz apps will refuse to work thru a simple file copy from within the device. If that happens, some of it - keyword "some" will be fixed by using a custom recovery like philz-touch or CWM or TWRP and clearing both cache and dalvik-cache after doing the file copy - at least that worked on 4.3 and 4.2.2. But KitKat has changed some things so I'm not sure.
If anyone else has dealt with this, please do comment....
When pushing .apks with ES or Root Explorer (my personal favorite) you do need root and need to place in the correct folder (system/app, system/priv_app, or system/lib if it's a lib file) and be able to change permissions - usually to rw, r, r.
... So definitely pay attention where you copy the files from and where ya put 'em.
If not done, they will not work.
Hope this helps someone!
Just wanted to let those of you whom are watching this thread know that due to personal stuff I have no time to make flashable ZIPs anytime soon but if anyone wants to take a stab at it before I get to it then be my guest
Will this zip file work on ASOP rom?

No most of these apps need a TW framework.

Maybe I am missing it, or it's named something funny..but I am not seeing the stock messaging app in either of those zips. I apologize if it's right in front of me, but I don't see it!
Edit: I'm an idiot, I found it. SecMMS.apk. But it wont install, just says "App was not installed." Why would that be?
Did you manually push it to system/priv-app folder, set permissions, and reboot?
Don't try to just click on it and install via context menu

Recorded Video Playback
I get "Unable to play video" message when I try to play back a video I recorded (I can play it on my computer)

Are you using a TW based rom? What file format is the video in? Will it play in another app, such as MX Player (great app btw I prefer it to any stock video app - I delete them)?

Yes I copied it to the system folder and then tried to install it. What do you mean by set permissions? For arguments sake I gave it rwxrwxrwx permissions and it still will not install.

Make sure you copy it to /system/priv-app folder, and set permissions to rw-r--r-- (644) NOT rwxrwxrwx, otherwise it will not work.
Reboot and you should be good to go.

Rebooting and trying now, hoping my error with the permissions was the issue. Also, I'm not finding the stock calculator app in these archives. I may be being stupid again though, I apologize if that's the case.
Edit: No luck with the push, permissions, reboot attempt. I don't get what I could be doing wrong. And I'm definitely in the correct folder.

One more time verify permissions are set correctly..they should match all of the other apps in the folder. Reboot to recovery and wipe cache/dalvik and try rebooting. Hopefully that works.

Oh geez yup I'm an idiot again, thank you for providing that. Not sure what I'm doing wrong with the mms app though. Wondering if I should just install the bloated ROM and debloat it myself
