I wrote this up to remove all the Rogers software, boot image and APNs
To use this you first need to flash the Rogers V20C firmware and root it, you don’t need to install Clockwork but I would suggest doing this and also performing a backup before running this.
Procedure
Make sure you have the latest LG drivers
Make sure you have USB Debugging turned on
Extract files to a folder
Run the batch file run.bat
Pick what you want to remove
Select 4 from the batch file to exit as this will reboot your phone which is required
After the phone is rebooted go to you APN list and select the “Reset to default”, it could take a few minutes for the reset to complete.
You will notice that the icon for data would will change from 4g to represent the true data connection. If you are unsure about this try a data speed check before running this patch and after.
The batch file is easy to follow so have a read and see what it is doing, you
might find you only want it to do only certain parts.
Any issues just re-flash or restore you backup.

Please note there is an issue with setting your time if you have the "Use network-provided value", this causes a force close if you try to set the time. If you don't have this set then the force close doesn't occur. Quick update on this, it is the section that pushs the VPN, if you don't run this then you won't get this bug. After looking at the logs they are pointing to the Manifest.xml file but as I've never had an issue like this before it will take some time to repair.
Works. Perfect.
Default is the Rogers apn right. Or did your bat file change that? Just wondering. I have att us and never could get consistent data speeds.

, corret. In the batch file the flexprovider.apk, apns-conf.xml and flex.xml files all are replaced.
If you still have bad speeds after replacing these you could manually alter the flex.xml file to provide the carrier etc. there

Let me know how you get on akwhite23, as I just tried a quick test of taking these files from the stock ATT 2.2 rom, I had to manually add my local APN but it got the H+ and I was able to use data.
Maybe another option if your data is unstable??
Anyone know how to remove or change the rogers shutdown animation
Sent from my LG-P925g using xda premium
You will need to edit Poweroff.apk,or use the tool in this thread
How about if someone were to pull the poweroff.apk from a diff rom and installing it
Sent from my LG-P925g using xda premium
This is a great tool but it would be nice if you gave us options as to what we wanted to delete from this rom.
Confirmed just copying and replacing the Poweroff.apk from another rom works just set permissions reboot and good to go thanks for the advice

The file you run is a batch file, just use a text editor and "rem" the lines you don't wont. I have tried to break the batch file up into logical chunks.
If really needed I can add Press 1 for this, Press 2 for this etc.
Lets see what I people want.
Also
Yes to the Roggers shutdown image is in the Poweroff.apk, if you just replace it with another rom you might not get any logo when shutting down, if that is the case has a look at the script as if will show you where to place the shutdown images.
Thanks for the reply and yes using the options of yes or no or 1 or 2 would be great this way people in my opinion would have and enjoy more control over there phone. Again great script.
Sent from my LG-P925g using xda premium
Thanks for this package. Ran as stated and works perfectly. Many, many thanks!
Script has been changed to allow users to pick what they would like to remove
*Remove Rogger preloaded applications
*APN to Generic
*Remove Roggers start up and shutdown logo
Enjoy
Great job thanks.

I have noticed that after using this, alot of apps in the market will no longer download due to incompatibility issues that were not there before. Apps such as Rom Toolbox, Advanced Task Killer and many more. I have reflashed and done this process twice to test and confirm. Removing the Rogers apps with this process seems to have caused a break somewhere.

rebel1699, unsure what is happening as I have just tested the applciations in your post and they work fine for me???? This is the procedure I used on my phone to flash
Using LG flash software Flashed V20C
I then flash the V20C
booted up the rom applyed Dan root application
Applied CWM
Next I went into CWM and wiped data / factory & wipe cache Partition
I then booted up the phone and applied by script.
Up to now I hadn't signed in the market place.
A think the problem could be some bad data in your market place, could you try this for me
Under Manage Applications could you
find Market and Force Stop, Clear Data and Clear Cache
find google Services Framework and Force Stop, Clear Data
If this has work you should get a server error if you try to access the Market Place. Reset your phone and the market should come back.
Let me know how this goes
Markyzz
No it isn't a good idea to copy the phone.apk and contacts
Ok I have one problem after I do the match my time changes and then I go to settings and try and change it and it force closes

I created a custom Rom, a really great mash up for people that like certain things from eugenes R2 final and Nero using KA6 while also implementing a very nice stock look (stock gingerbread messaging, dialer, contacts)... calling it Frankenstein. I of course will give credit and am not taking any credit away from these real great devs... this is just a mash-up.
This is where I need my [Help] while doing this, testing on my vibrant etc. I have managed to mess up my market.... my phone started off by not being able to connect (data) at all, and only having basic phone ability (mms, callling out).. I have fixed that, but no matter if I odin back to stock, do the eugene froyo odin/reformat back to jfd.. the market will not update. No apps really whatsoever... I get more apps when going to a rom like Nero V5 vs. stock JFD.. so this tells me that I am getting the market the way it was when they were implemented into the roms? but even with nero v5 im still missing a great deal such as titanium backup, file managers... even little things like doodle jump....
anyone that can provide detail that leads to a fix i will happily donate $15 via paypal, no big deal.
files must be missing, would love help.
Edit: have tried clearing data, resigning in.. all the little things... and as i said i have flashed back to jfd... now im on jfd with apps such as firefox test.. and a bunch of apps that were most likley the first apps ever put on market.. this puzzles me.
Thanks, Brandon
the only featured app right now is auto focus snake.. which looks like a android test app...

seems to be an issue with SGS devices and the market? WTF
Attached is a copy of the vending.apk I've been using in my kangs, and haven't had a problem with it. It shows all apps, on my phone its updated by now, but if it isn't when you push it, it should update properly given a little bit and a reboot. I would say if this doesn't fix your issue, it may be something else in your build. Just push the file to the system/app folder in your build, reboot and test it. Or, copy and replace the vending.apk in your working files, recompile and flash your rom, and test it. Good Luck.
so, select section you want, select free or latest or whatever, and you will see them.... or just search for the app you want
IMEI issue
I had the same issue all test apps in market and really no access.
I had to restore my backup and relock the phone.
Now all is working.
It is because certain apps don't recognize the Vibrant's build number. (T959KA6 is an example of a build number)

No I flashed back to stock tried Nero 5. Nothing helped had to restore nvdata. Imei was something like 004 phone was unlocked and tested on ATT. Look when you go into the market and it popup saying phone kay not support the market. Tried multiple google accounts its linked to your google account and your imei for supported apps on your type of phone.

You have to have a backup copy of your original.
If you do delete the files that start with nv -- in the /efs directory.
You probably can see your original IMEI if you open the file that is hidden in the directory /efs it is .imei -- That held the correct number for my IMEI. not sure if someone knows how to use that if you dont have an original backup of nvdata.bin.
I took nvdata.bin and put it in the /efs directory.
removed all files that start with nv in /efs example nv2data.bak
rebooted phone it built md5 from nvdata.bin.
factory reset and all apps back.
I also coudlnt get my pro license of titanuim backup to register with google checkout until this was completed.

The problem [might] be inside the build.prop.

IMEI
You're IMEI can easily be found by just taking out your battery and looking under it at the sticker with all the numbers and bar codes. It may just show IME and have either dashes or periods (you can ignore the punctuation). That is your original IMEI (this is nothing more than your serial number, make sure you know what it is because if you ever have a hardware issue and want to still utilize your warranty then they check by this number, and of course unroot the phone first so it won't be considered out of warranty)
I'm aware this is better suited in the android development section, however I can't post there yet.
So I'm in an area where I can only get data with data roaming turned on. Liberty lacks the option to turn it on, and that was a killer for me. So I figured out how to turn it on!
First, you'll need a program called notepad++. Google it, its free.
You'll now need liberty rom. You should know where to get it.
Once its downloaded, open the rom. I used winrar, no need to extract the zip with it. Open the system folder and you'll find the build.prop. Open it with your newly installed notepad++. Once open, add. "ro.com.android.dataroaming=true" to the build prop. I added it to the bottom but I believe it doesn't matter where you add it. Click save and your done! Just flash it like normal and enjoy that sweet, sweet data.
I tried this and I still get the "Data Connectivity Lost - Data Roaming is turned off" notification.
Any thoughts?
Did you use NotePad++? And did you wipe data? Tell me the exact process you used.

Wiping data made the difference!
I figured coming from the same ROM I wouldn't have to worry about that, but apparently you do. I guess I'm still a bit confused on how exactly the build.prop file is used by the OS.
Thanks for the help!!!
i know people have said they couldnt edit build.prop in liberty, but i was able to edit it with root explorer, save it, reboot and it took effect. i didnt make the changes youre describing but i changed the build name
I tried editing build.prop and rebooting without success.
I copied build.prop to my SD card.
Edited the file with Notepad++ (obviously from my computer)
renamed build.prop in the System folder to build.prop.bak
copied build.prop from my SD card to the System directory
reset build.prop permissions
rebooted
The data roaming setting never took affect when I tried this. I have no idea what I did wrong.

I was running monster rom, I downloaded liberty and changed the build.prop as described and worked like a charm. Possibly, since you tried changing the build.prop without wiping data and dataroaming was already disabled, it saved it like that. Much like when you enable usb debugging. If you flash a rom with it enabled without wiping, it stays enabled...
Hmmmm... you'd think changing the build prop would automatically change any stored settings. I'll look into this

Exactly! I still think I must have been doing something wrong... probably messed up one of the mundane details. I always do that
I'll try recreating the steps you went through when I've a bit more time and a fully charged phone. Maybe I can learn something else useful
is this for the CDMA radio? i need to verify GSM with Liberty 2.0
I'm not sure, there's no gsm service around here (hardly cdma). You can try and see if it works.

Hi,
When I got my Droid, I couldn't believe all the stuff that came preinstalled with the phone, so I started deleting everything that seemed unnecessary. Given the fact that I already reflashed the phone 20 times in the last week, I made a little script to help me out. I thought I would share it with you in case it comes handy to someone.
BIG NOTE 0: There's a system part that Motorola uses to get stuff from your phone. It's called Data Collector. Whenever any app crashes, it makes quite a big dump, with your network carrier, signal level, applications installed, applications running and a lot of stuff that isn't opt-in. In fact, one of the scripts (/system/bin/bugtogo.sh) can take screenshots of your phone. I don't like being spied, so I tried to remove it all. Cannot be certain though, but I would recommend you to remove, if you like your privacy, at least, the DataCollector apks, and to empty the bugtogo.sh script from /system/bin
BIG NOTE 1: I don't use this phone in the US, so I don't know if I'm breaking part of the CDMA support. It still shows up in every settings and I don't have any reason to think it won't work, but since I can't test it in anything except GSM/UMTS, I can't know it for sure.
BIG NOTE 2: The script will install Apollo (Music Player), Nova Launcher (homescreen replacement), and Cyanogenmod's Gallery app. If you don't want them and want to keep Blur and the default gallery (the script doesn't remove the music player just in case it's needed by some other app), then don't use this script, or modify it as you wish.
BIG NOTE 3: I am not responsible for anything if this causes a mess. Worst case scenario you'll need to flash back the system partition (fastboot flash system system.img), and then reroot your phone. You have been warned.

Instructions:
1. Root your phone if you haven't already
2. Install Busybox from Google Play if you haven't already
2. Uncompress the zip into your internal sdcard. You should get this:
Code:
/sdcard/removecrap/Apollo.apk
/sdcard/removecrap/Gallery2.apk
/sdcard/removecrap/com.teslacoilsw.launcher-1.apk
/sdcard/removecrap/remover.sh
3. Run from a terminal on the phone, or from adb (always as root)
sh /sdcard/removecrap/remover.sh
4. Wait until the phone reboots
5. 200 extra Mb of system and a lot more free ram for your apps. Oh, and Motorola won't get another bug report from you
EDIT: Ooops, Reupdated the zip file, it was deleting one extra file (motosignature inside the framework folder)
EDIT2: Didn't catch Carrier IQ's qer binary on /xbin. Unfortunately we can't touch those binaries since they're in the randisk, so I updated the script so it removes the logfile qe generates and replaces it with a folder so it can never write the scan results again (thank you bofh.bug for the links!)
That's great, but you'll probably have trouble installing whatever official update comes next, since the updates generally expect certain apps to exist (with correct checksums too) so that they can be updated.

I did again the script for the jelly bean update. This time it removes less crap, since it seems Motorola left a bit less than on previous versions. This will remove the annoying "Foreign card" warning when you boot the phone with some non-verizon sim, the acoustic warning when you turn up the volume, smart actions and so on.
IT WON'T REMOVE THE APPS. It will leave them here:
Apps: /system/app/oldapps
system binaries: /system/bin/oldbin
Framework: /system/framework/oldframework
If you encounter any problem, you can simply move back the files through adb and the phone will be like before applying the script.
NOTE: Only tested on GSM. Probably won't work on CMDA since it's missing most of the Verizon stuff. If you can identify which apps are needed for CDMA to wokr again tell me and I'll update the script accordingly.
I run the script from ADB and worked like a charm. Been using it for 24hours and no problems so far, but you never know, so use at your own risk
Code:
[email protected]:~/Documents# adb push removecrap2.sh /sdcard/removecrap2.sh
[email protected]:~/Documents# adb shell
[email protected]_maserati:/ $ su
[email protected]_maserati:/ # sh /sdcard/removecrap2.sh
It works great, thank you. Good work.

Hi to all, i found two app : ModemPanicReporter.apk and ModemStatsService.apk. What they are doing ? Maybe it is necessary to remove they too ? Removing these applications will improve battery life.

First off this work is based on Digiblur's PRL Write Enabler from the Sprint Galaxy S3 forum. I simply modified it & packaged it for our Sprint Galaxy S4 devices.
Here is the original S3 post that this was found in... http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2159054
Also, post #8 below provides additional info.
I tested it by flashing with TWRP and it worked on my stock, rooted S4 with the MDC and MDL releases.
If you're on a stock rooted Rom and not using TWRP, you can just copy the HiddenMenu.apk from inside the zip file downloaded into /system/app/ and overwrite the one that's there. (You'll need a root enabled file browser to do this of course).
Thanks to Unknownforce here is a version for MJA...

Enjoy!!
This certainly will save me from having to use CDMA WS to switch like I just did yesterday. 55014 was not working well for me in my market so I switched back to 25014.

You mean the install of the zip?
If so, you can pull the APK out of the zip and replace HiddenMenu.apk in the system folder (make a backup first). You may want to also set the permissions to rw-r-r after replacing the system app. Reboot, then you should be good to go.
@ChadH42,
I know it seems like I'm harping on you but I'm really not..
You need to update the OP on - 1. What is this? 2. What does this do? 3. Why is this in the Development Section.. ?
A good OP leads to less questions.. Development Sections aren't for information. That would be considered a Discussion Thread that belongs in General.
Let's keep the Dev section clean from the start.
My suggestion - Edit the OP on the What's/Why's?/How To's and you won't get posts like mine.
To the OP, updated your title as [WIP], and I suggest you provided additional information so that folks aren't bricking their new devices.
I will check in, if you need anything, let me know.
What this MOD does (in case the OP takes a little while to chime in)
What this MOD does is modifies our ##DATA# (select View) menu to allow for the PRL Write option to appear and function. With this menu option, the user can change their PRL on the fly from the device itself by placing a copy of the desired PRL in the root directory of Internal Storage and name it "test.prl" (no quotes), dial ##DATA# (choose View), tap Write PRL, tap the sub-menu option Write PRL ---wait--- and then the device reboots with the test.prl PRL applied upon reboot. Not every PRL works and sometimes it takes a couple of tries.
A tip for multiple PRL options is to, of course, keep a folder of the PRLs you like and keep them labeled in there. Copy the desired PRL to proper place as needed and just remember to rename the copy to "test.prl". Switch back and forth as you please. I hope this helps clear some confusion and helps some find purpose with the MOD like I have.
For a clear set of instructions that I did not want to just copy verbatim, check the link below. Also, if you are having issues with the zip not installing in CWM, just extract the APK from the ZIP (inside the system/app folder), use Root Explorer or your favorite root-access file explorer to place the APK in the APP folder, apply the proper permissions and reboot.
Ref from the GS3: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1748516
So I unzipped the file, replaced the hidden menu original apk with the new one, then set permissions, rebooted, then tried ##3282# and the view and edit options do not appear.. .. It just blanks out the items I just entered

I just tried this mod with the Force ROM and it did the same thing (blank options). The only thing I can think of is that it works with the odex version of the stock ROM so maybe its a problem with deodex ROMs of which Force is one.
O okay. Its currently not a necessary thing for me at the moment, just nice for when I travel to Alabama. Hopefully later on someone gets it working on deodex.

I am actually running it on the Rooted Stock DeOdexed ROM. So I don't think it is an Odex/DeOdex issue...might be a Force ROM issue.
Also, moot point for Force ROM (1.0+) anyway because the PRL Write mod is already included with that.
I'm also having this problem and I'm pretty sure it was working this morning. I haven't flashed anything since then.
edit-- I tried:
1. wiping both cache's
2. killing background process "OIThiddenmenu"
neither fixed it.
I reinstalled the stock odex ROM and flashed this again and it worked.
Just an FYI, OP, I get Error Status 6 when trying to flash this via recovery, which indicates one of two things. Either the format of the file is incorrect or there is a syntax error. The syntax looks fine, but opening in basic Notepad shouldn't "look pretty" like it currently does. So it's likely it was edited with a non-Unix-compatible text editor like Notepad or MS-Word...
To make modifications to an updater-script (or just about any Android/Linux files like this) you need something like Notepad++ or gVim.
Anyways, I did a quick test with this, and it does in fact not work on my ROM as it is, but I see why it's failing, but I don't know what exactly it's trying to reference yet. (It fails with an id number instead of a name, so I'll have to de-compile some things to find it.)
I'm not sure it's a ROM issue or a MOD issue yet. (meaning it might have to be updated for each custom ROM, depending on how they are configured) But I'll track it down and update when I can.

Thanks for all your help here..
I had the error status 6 problem in the beginning and thought I fixed it. You are correct that I used MS WordPad to edit the files.

I think TWRP can read the non Unix type characters, which is why it works on a different recovery.
I'm hoping it's a mod issue and I can just modify the mod to work universally regardless of the rom. But we'll see.

OKAY guys I got it working. See screenshots. AND FOLLOW THESE STEPS
Update: Recommended only for users with ANCE build version.
You can downgrade using only the AP file without removing any user data (only some system modifications and root, but you can reroot of course).
Known Bugs on ANCE:
Private Mode does not enable.
Update 2: I believe you can enable download booster without replacing your SecSettings.apk and SecSettings.odex files, however this is not yet confirmed. For a guide to do it this way, see this post http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=53640392&postcount=98&nocache=1&z=1925545437261462
Requirements:
Use this services.jar NOT the one from the zip. https://www.dropbox.com/s/vziudszmba2l9zm/services.jar
Root
ES File Explorer (make sure Root Mode is enabled)
v2.1 odex file from this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2719582
YMMV, so I recommend copying these four files from your system folder to somewhere safe (external sd or PC) just in case something goes wrong.
GOOD LUCK!
1. Download/unzip the SecSettings.apk, SecSettings.odex, and services.odex files from the zip. Download modified services.jar from here (https://www.dropbox.com/s/vziudszmba2l9zm/services.jar )
2. Copy ALL FOUR files to the /system root folder
3. Fix all permissions to rw-r-r (3 checks in first column, first check in second, rest blank) DOUBLE CHECK THIS ON ALL FOUR(See Attached)
4. Copy SecSettings.apk and SecSettings.odex from the system root folder to the /system/priv-apps/ folder, choose overwrite all.
5. Copy services.JAR from the system root folder to the /system/framework folder, overwrite again.
6. Copy services.ODEX from the system root folder to the /system/framework folder, overwrite if asked.
PHONE WILL FREEZE AND REBOOT
Mine reodexed everything "Android is updating apps" on bootup.
?????
Profit.
CLICK THANKS.
btw HUGE thanks to RevelationOmega for doing the hard part!!
Edit: Possible fixes if experiencing issues (not tested or confirmed working) I am on Baseband AND3 with Build ANCE. If you experience issues, try ODIN to ANCE (this will not delete user apps), reroot, update SuperSU binaries, and then follow the steps below. This is exactly what I did when it worked for me (no xposed installed beforehand, only after and all seems well).
TO GET THE QUICKSETTINGS TILE
1. Download SQlite editor (the one in the screenie works best)
2. In apps, find settings storage > settings.db > system
3. Search for notification
4. Choose Notification_Panel_Active_App_List (there are a few VERY similar ones, make sure its the right one.
5. Add NetworkBooster; as seen in screenshot attached.
6. Reboot
TESTING DOWNLOAD BOOSTER
0. Make sure you are connected to WIFI and LTE (Does not work on regular 4G or lower)
1. Open the Play Store
2. Find the app called DCIkonZ (or any app over 30 mb)
3. Install app as normal. You should get a popup as seen in attached and see a toast saying Download Booster enabled...
Has anybody tried this yet?

What's a good free SQLite Editor? Everything looking good here so far. :good:
I downloaded mine from aptoide, its the only one I could work easily. Icon looks like 3 round grey circles stacked up.
Can one of you guys give me your stock secsetting apk and odex? I'm afraid to restart my phone because I might have done this wrong

If your phone didn't reboot on its own then you messed up somewhere. Just start over from square one. Gimme a minute and I'll give you a dropbox link with the stock files.
Thought I had them but I don't. If you have the ATT model, just double check the permissions and youll be fine.

Well I got the download booster to work. But my stock Internet app force closes and I have no gps signal at all. Is there any fix for this?
I followed all the direction, I have the symbol in my task bar and the quick tile. But when I download, it just downloads on wifi.

You have to have lte signal bars or it will just download off wifi. Also camera app forces closes

Hmm none of that is happening to me guys. And I have no fix = /. I haven't tested gps, however.
I am on the ANCE build and not the AND3 one. Try ODIN to older version perhaps? Just a thought.
Ok I'm going to try to downgrade, but could you test your gps
