So what's the purpose of this thread?
On 2.2 and 2.1 Android versions after installing of any app there were created:
- /data/app/<package_name>.apk - main file
- /data/data/<package_name>/ - folder with app data, libs, settings etc.
- /data/dalvik-cache/[email protected]@<package_name>.dex - dalvik-cache file
After deinstalation with bulit-in uninstaller all files and folders where removed so phone was clean after deinstallation huge number of apps.
Now, on 2.2.1 after installing any app there are created:
- /data/app/<package_name>.apk - main file
- /data/data/<package_name>/ - folder with app data, libs, etc.
- /data/dalvik-cache/[email protected]@<package_name>.dex - dalvik-cache file
- /dbdata/databases/<package_name>/ - folder with app settings, AFAIK it's created on first app usage.
Samsung changed this to remove lag (dbdata is faster than data). After deinstallation last folder isn't removed! Samsung developers forgot to change uninstaller, in result we have a lot of unneeded folders in /dbdata/databases/ after deinstallation of apps.
Ane ideas how to fix it?
i noticed this too. sadly i dont know how to fix it, other than manually delete the leftovers
yep confirmed.. just went in with root explorer and deleted a couple of things i have deleted from the phone.
Well one simple solution is to create a simple listview uninstaller that calls pm uninstall on the package plus delete's the package name from the /dbdata partition
Or better yet, find an open source uninstaller and modify that

INSTRUCTIONS
Requirements:
▪ Clockworkmod Recovery 3.x or higher
▪ Radio 2.x (Try different ones to see which works best for you. I am using the 07.07 radio)
▪ hboot 0.92 Required (See this post #635 for hboot 0.92 and instructions)
▪ A Full Wipe Highly Recommended! (Required if this is the first version you are installing)
NOTE: Will not flash over anything but this ROM.
Installation:
▪ Copy ROM to root of the SDCARD
▪ Boot into recovery
▪ Factory Reset
▪ Format system in mounts
▪ Install it using "Install Zip From SD" Card option
▪ Boot - NOTE: Be patient on first boot since it may sit for a few minutes
▪ Skip everything in settings for first install
▪ Avoid Google and Titanium restores if possible.
DISCLAIMER: As usual, flash at your own risk and don't forget to backup your current installation before flashing.
Download - Version 2.2 >> Download - After reading instructions
NOTE: MD5 = On Download Site
IMPORTANT: Won't flash over anything unless I say otherwise.
RULE OF THUMB: If you choose to flash over without a wipe and have lags, FC's, things missing, or things just don't work right then flash again with a complete wipe as follows
If you have trouble after flashing or stuck on splash screen do the following:
Pull battery if necessary
Enter recovery
Make sure your on hboot .92
Make sure your on CWM 3x or higher
Factory/Reset
Format system in mounts
Re-Flash ROM from SD Card
ReBoot
NOTE: If you are still having problems (FC's, 3G drops, etc.) do the following:
CLEAN AND REFRESH THE PHONE WITH THE FOLLOWING STEPS: (Do not install with Rom Manager)
Download the Stock GB ROM Here
Check MD5
Put it on your SD Card
Reboot to recovery (Do not install with Rom Manager)
Factory reset on main menu
Format System on mount menu
Flash the stock ROM from 1
Boot ROM
Skip everything in settings
Do a *228 option 2
Log into the market - Make sure you skip/uncheck the restore option
STOP HERE AND DO THE FOLLOWING
INSTALL MY ROM (Do not install with Rom Manager)
Download the current version of this ROM from above
Check MD5
Put it on your SD Card
Reboot into recovery
Factory reset on main menu
Format System on mount menu
Flash the current version of this ROM
Boot ROM
Skip everything in settings
Do a *228 option 2 in the dialer
Log into the market - Make sure you skip/uncheck the restore option
Set up but do not restore anything
Install your apps manually from either the market or your SD Card
Let me know how it is running
My theory is that other ROM's leave residue that can cause problems with the first install of my ROM.

Add-Ons, Mods and Recommendations
Interested in doing your own theming? Check out the Ultimate Online Theme Kitchen
Lets you select battery styles, icons for all over, task bar mods, and even boot animations.
Use the framework-res.apk, com.htc.resources.apk, and SystemUI.apk from the ROM zip folder
==============================================
Helpful hints on battery life:
Look in Settings > Accounts & Sync and make sure you are not syncing anything you don't care about like news and stocks, etc. Leave them to update when opened. Same with E-Mail.
Go into the people/contacts and make sure you are only syncing contacts you need. For example I use Outlook and turned off Google and phone.
Turn off WiFi when you are not in range or need it. I boosted the search frequency time but it still helps to not have it searching at all
Adjust screen brightness to say 50% then put it on auto.
In Settings > Location turn off GPS and Phone Finder. That assumes you don't care about Phone Finder.
In Settings > Privacy turn off automatic backups if you don't use them
In Settings > Power turn of efficiency
In Settings > Applications > Manage Applications uninstall ES File Explorer and HTC_IME mod (My black keyboard) if you don't use them. EFS runs in the background all the time.
In Settings > Applications > Manage Applications uninstall Netflix if you don't use it.
Look in Settings > Applications and see if you have any apps that run all the time that you don't really use and uninstall them.
If I think of more I will add them.
Most of these use battery but also use RAM so you can save on both.
==============================================
Flash-able Add-Ons and Mods
Flash the following in Recovery :
NOTE: These will only work on this ROM unless you rename the folders in the zip files to another 3.5 ROM's layout
Turn off Ad Block Here

Normally you theme your roms to be on the dark side, besides the icons have you themed anything else?
EDIT: Looks like I missed the attached screenshots, looks good Nils! Can't wait to flash it!

The phone and dialer are done but I need updated version of M10editor which is being worked on for the Rosie launcher and clock
Nils, I'm glad you got a 3.5 rom as I've been digging your 3.0 rom but had to leave as I was trying out 3.5 roms. Welcome to the party! Definitely loading it today.
Good job nils, glad to see you hangin around!

Thanks!

Wow, runs great! Nice and smooth!
The only issue I am having with these 3.5 roms (and this is likely a HTC issue) is that we are not given an option to control what settings go into the quick settings pull down. I'm running Insensitive and it basically includes all essential settings (brightness, wifi, gps, volume, etc) and I can't just do without it anymore - the access to everything has become a nice feature. Maybe I just need to get over it.
Awesome work!

I'm in the process of modding this to fit my liking, would you mind if I posted it afterwards? I'm basically just using actual gingerbread system icons for the notification bar.
Edit: Wow! I am downloading this rom at 2.9 mb/s

This is a beginner's guide to reduce AT&T branding on a Sony Xperia TL (model LT30at, build 9.1.F.1.120).
This phone has 2 GB phone memory (apps first go there), 11 GB internal storage (you can move apps there but not many of the branded apps), and you can put an SD card in (mine is about 32 GB for music/video). Why they split out 2GB versus 11GB forcing you to move apps that you hope the developer marked as moveable is a mystery, since it's all built-in memory.
Without rooting, this is the normal way to disable even system apps you can't uninstall or move within Android:
Settings | Apps | swipe right to All
Pick the app to disable
Force Stop it, Clear data, Uninstall any updates
After uninstalling updates, you can (often) hit the "Disable" button
If you want to go further, you'll need to root. I was able to root by:
From Windows Install Sony PC Companion
Plug phone into usb cable attached to PC
Settings | Developer options (slider on) | USB debugging (turn on)
Windows then downloads ADB drivers for you automatically
Settings | Security | Unknown sources (turn on)
Root using this: forum post
Find it at "Mirror 1 Uploaded.to" there
Unzip and run the RunMe.bat
Select option: 0) Xperia Root by cubeundcube
Afterward, Google Play store gave me "error retrieving information from server [RPC:S-3]", fixed by:
Settings | Accounts | Google | select account | triple-dot-menu select | Remove account
Settings | Accounts | Add account | Google
Give it time to resync, you can see it at
Settings | Accounts | Google | select account | (watch for sync to finish)
I didn't try a custom build, but note that 4.3 Jelly Bean build 9.2.A.1.199 (note, this is not 4.1 Jellly Bean, but 4.3 Jelly Bean) has arrived 2014-03-10 and is being rolled out says Sony's site. So I'll wait for that.
I needed a file manager which runs as root, but it's nice to have the Superuser app to manage which app is root:
I installed the Superuser app from ClockworkMod to manage who gets root and when.
Then I installed the File Manager (Explorer) app from Rhythm Software to move things the apps out of the system area.
You'll need to do settings | Root Explorer, and settings | Mount System Folders.
Then I erased the startup AT&T logo and sound by simple removal.
With file manager running as root and system folders mounted as read/write
Navigate to /system/media
Delete the file bootanimation.zip
Now on startup you get a simple default very small "Android" logo, and no more AT&T sound
I tried putting an alternate bootanimation.zip but I didn't sequence the images inside right and that almost bricked my phone when I ended up with a blank screen on reboot, and luckily had 1/3 of a screen in landscape orientation only, which I was barely able to navigate back to my replacement bootanimation.zip and delete it. That's how I discovered Android has its own built in animation, although minimal one. Don't worry, simply removing the bootanimation.zip is fine.
Then I first disabled many things AT&T and Facebook related using normal Android mechanism listed on top. But if you want to go further, to git rid of what I disabled, maybe to free up space from the scant (2GB) phone memory, with File manager (running as root and system folders mounted as read/write), navigate up and up then down into /system/app. There I removed all these safely. Hit multi, mark them and move to your sdcard:
AttAddressBook.apk
EventStreamPluginFacebook.apk
FBCalendarSync.apk
FBIAppShare.apk
FBMediaDiscovery.apk
FBMusicLike.apk
FBSetupwizard.apk
PostViewer.apk
SEMCFacebookProxy.apk
SemcTvLauncher.apk
SmartSearch.apk
SocialEngineFacebookPlugin.apk
SocialEngineFacebookShareFrwkPlugin.apk
Talk.apk
TimescapeSpline.apk
Yellowpages.apk
bn.ereader.apk
cityid.apk
com.att.android.attsmartwifi.apk
com.att.android.digitallocker.apk
com.att.android.mobile.attmessages.apk
com.att.featuredapps.handset.apk
com.att.mywireless.apk
com.drivemode.apk
com.mobitv.client.tv.apk
com.mtag.att.codescanner.apk
com.telenav.app.android.cingular.apk
com.yellowpages.android.ypmobile.apk
facebook.apk
ready2go.apk
timescaperssplugin.apk
After removing immediately restart since you did surgery. Much bloatware and branding is gone, there's more space, and no branding image or sound when it boots.
Note that the cached compiled versions of the apps don't get deleted like they are supposed to, so you have to intelligently delete various .dex files manually:
Run File Manager (as root and system folders mounted as read/write)
Navigate to /data/dalvik-cache and remove things the correspond to your deleted .apk files. The names are similar mostly.
Note the system will regenerate a .dex (compiled cached version of your app) automatically so don't worry about overdeleting.

You'll lose root access if you flash 4.3 FTF. An exploit for it hasn't been found yet.
Also, there won't be official at&t 4.3 firmware. They have parted ways with Sony.

Except for one guy in another thread, all LT30at's come with unlockable bootloader, which makes then incompatible with fastboot and custom kernel.

That was the answer I was looking for, I got an unlock code from Sony for the bootloader they sent one but I can't get into fastboot, because our kernel lacks support for fastboot commands. It is a kinda silly tool to leave out but I guess they leave it out for a reason.

ROM last updated: 11/8/2018
Introduction:
HUGE thanks to the guys that got this going like root & figuring out hybrid stocks! This ROM is similiar to my previous ROM: [ROM][TMOBILE][S7_SM-G930T][Oreo 8.0 Rooted][WifiCalling], but is based on the newer OTA/FW G930TUVU4CRI2 & is MUCH faster, at least on my phone (See Tmobile versions here). I did NOT base it on G930TUVS8CRJ1 (the latest) because that has bootloader ver8, which we don't have root for yet. (DONT take that OTA since you can NOT downgrade!) And if I had to guess, the only difference are some minor security updates, but mostly the security update that prevents root!!! (So no thanks!)
Description:
Stock Tmobile Oreo 8.0 modified (G930TUVU4CRI2)
This is a hybrid ROM, meaning: because we cannot unlock our bootloader, our options are limited. A hybrid, at least in this case, is where we start with stock, then strip away all the Crapware, add some fun apps, and do some tweaks.
EXTREMELY debloated! Nearly bare minimum, while still retaining hardware functionality. Eg, Samsung Gallery & Camera exist so we get 4k recording, and there aren't errors when we pull up the Gallery to edit, etc. Yes, this means NO Samsung or Android Pay. There could be more apps to debloat but I haven't had a chance to revisit this yet. (Please provide suggestions if interested)
Everything possible I replace Samsung with Google
Solid ROM, very fast!
If you hate Samsung SW and just want a solid working ROM with very few install options to get you up and running this is for you.
This will delete all of your data on the phone! (Not external SD card) This is the only way so don't ask. Backup your data!
Features:
Tmobile Wifi Calling works, along with Visual Voicemail & Mobile Hotspot
Many Aroma Installer app options
(Optional) KevinsFavorites option in Aroma. I'm not sure I'd recommend it due to my tastes. If you're looking for some good common apps tho, it includes: Amazon, AmazonMusic, AndroidAuto, AquaMail, Gmail, GoogleDrive, GoogleKeep, GooglePhoto, Hangouts, IFTTT, Pandora, RootBrowserClassic, TitaniumBackup, Uber, & Wink (If you install these and want to remove them later, use TitaniumBackup (or similiar) to uninstall
Root Features: See Downloads->Recommended Root Zip & say Thanks!
Debloated
De-Knoxed
Decrypted /data/ partition (should be ready for Xposed, but I haven't had a chance to test it yet)
OTAs disabled
Speed & Build Prop Tweaks
Dual speaker option
Ruthless Launcher
Apps
AdAway
AOD Clock Face Themes
CPUSpy
DisableService
Kernel Adiutor
Samsung Video Editor and Trimmer
Xposed Installer
Many more...

Hide "Hurricane" (RCS) icon: Install System UI Tuner by Zach Wander from Play Store ->Open App->StatusBar->Auto Detect->Uncheck com.samsung.rcs Thanks @pshipley73 for the tip! (BTW I didn't implement the VoLTE/IMS fixes out there because there's too much flux right now with Tmobile & RCS - I didn't want to break anything!)
Known Issues:
Visual Voicemail may fail to register, but restart phone and give it a few hours. It works eventually. (Same issue is on stock)
RCS (Rich Communication Services/Chat/Advanced Messaging) texts don't show up in Android Messages, or Textra apps (Same issue is on stock)
Fix: (Use Samsung Messages) - You may be able to call Tmobile to get this feature disabled with your account. Everything they say online doesnt work. If anyone inquires with them or knows a fix, PLEASE let me know!
Regular earpiece doesnt have sound during a WifiCalling call. Fix: Use Speakerphone. My thought is that this is isolated to using the dual-speaker mod. (Can someone please confirm?) (This is NOT an issue during a non-wificalling call.)

Version 4.7: First stable build

My bad! I added the ROM link
Regarding the apps you list: I thought I made some of those options in Aroma, but Titanium Backup (or whatever) can easily remove any you still want to delete. Or you can edit my Aroma script and add in those deletes. I did want the phone to be a "tiny-bit" usable after installing the ROM (play YouTube, open pdf files, etc). Enjoy!
Very Nice!
Hi Kevin, how could I install GameLauncher in this ROM?
I'm very interested in using that app when playing :crying::good::fingers-crossed:

Yes, it is an application that allows you to do several things while you are playing. The GameLauncher includes GameTools, but I can not install it in any way, because I think you need a file or something like that?

Yes, but will not there be some .zip?
I mean, everything is installed at once, because if I install nothing more than the GameLauncher apk, although without the Samsung store, "Galaxy Apps" I can not update nor will the app work correctly .
In itself, I can not use GameLauncher to have installed GameTools (although I would have done the one to install the apk, the GameLauncher app will not recognize me any game), and without the Samsung store, they will not work well.

when you are on the stock with the root then use root browser to save these two files from stock
SamsungAccount_Star, SamsungCloud, under n Priv-app folder, once you run the hybrid ROM using flashfire then go back and restore these two files back to Priv-app folder which will enabled your theme store so you can run your gaming app

If you are using a S7_SM-G930T & have the stock partitions for this model (ie, you didnt flash a different pit), then you dont need to do it. The guide as-is is solid for a stock S7_SM-G930T. Flashing the pit from another ROM of mine wont hurt if you flash on a S7_SM-G930T. I have only tested this ROM on a S7_SM-G930T.

Thank you @zfk110 for jumping in. This ROM really is aiming to be anti-Samsung - I LOVE the hardware but honestly hate all the Sh$t they put on it. And I need wifi-calling. And WE ALL LOVE ROOT. WHY cant we have it!!! ITS OUR PHONE WE BOUGHT DAMMIT! So that's what this ROM is all about. But trying to put it back to how SamDung intented, after my ROM reverts all their shannigans, might actually be easier to just roll with stock Sorry for being blunt.
But I do get it, some apps are actually good. Just PLEASE dont ask for Android pay or Samdung pay!! I do have all the apks, but no where to host them. If you have a little time & initiative, check out this thread I made on how to extract an apk from an "ODIN" file (like TMB-G930TUVU4CRI2.zip from this thread) https://forum.xda-developers.com/tm...ide-how-to-extract-samsung-s7-ota-fw-t3862938 . And check out how to deploy this apk to system (not even sure they have to go to system tho) using ADB under Known Fixes for Messages here: https://forum.xda-developers.com/tmobile-galaxy-s7/development/rom-t3855911 ...or do what @zfk110 said Titanium Backup does have a ton of power to do things like this as well...

Okay, I'll try the backup, but I'll try it with Titanium Backup. And by the way, is there a problem if the screen resolution is not in WQHD?
I have no way to restore the apps with Titanium Backup, I do not load the restorations:crying::crying:

it has those two files, and if you want to go back to stock Touchwiz then install the whole zip using flashfire it will give you stock Touchwiz and theme store with Viper and some good rooted apps or you can just pull those two files from it

Aroma Installer looks bonk if you dont set the resolution all the way up. Once you go through it tho, itll set back to stock which is in the middle. (ie, when guide is finished, resolution will be in the middle)
Just discovered this! I have a G930v and I've been flashing G930u firmware then G930t radio (CP file) and I've been running strong on tmobile (LTE+, wifi txt'ing & calling all work). Anyone have any experience how this ROM compares?
(LOL... you said SamDung. So true some days.)

I installed it with Flasfire, but it has not installed me, I do not know why?
So I installed it with TWRP Recovery, much more effective and comfortable , at this moment I'm going to see if it lets me use the Apps I need (Game Launcher). Thank you!!

Well I do not work the app (Game Launcher) in the Rom of Lanc-City, in the Aroma if it gives you option or has added it, that you can install GameLauncher .
I think something is missing, and I do not know what function.
