I know there are some people like myself who actually like Sense and doing a 'full' root can be daunting, especailly if all you want to do is remove the crud that Vodafone or your Telco install on your branded Legend. But there is no reason this can't be used to remove apps that are in a custom ROM - as far as I am aware! If someone with a custom ROM could confirm this, that would be great!
Righto, as per usual here is the disclaimer - doing this is risky and you do so at your own peril! Don't come crying to me or Paul @ MoDaCo if it bricks your phone (it shouldn't but this is just a warning)
Enough of that you get the idea Now for the fun bit!
First if you are not you'll need VISIONary+ from MoDaCo, at the time of this writing r13 is the latest and is available on page 7.
Please read and check the original post as there may be an updated version. If you are rooted skip to the next step.
This is Paul's guide he done quickly on his G2, it's more of a pictorial guide (same rules apply to the Legend as G2 in this case).
Once installed use the Temproot option, this can take 15 seconds or so to complete, use a Terminal Emulator and type su then return/enter and your $ should change to a # - this means you have temproot.
Go to the market and install SuperUser, Titanium Backup, BusyBox.
Open Titanium Backup allowing it root access when prompted, go to Backup/Restore and scroll to find one of the preinstalled bloatware apps, I chose the Vodafone Music app and the Vodafone Web app.
Long hold on the app you want to remove and scroll down a bit and choose the option "Force remove app (by recovery exploit)"
This will reboot your phone TWICE, you will get the recovery screen up - LET IT RUN IT's COURSE! DO NOT INTERRUPT THIS.
Once it boots back into your normal check that the app is no longer in your App drawer
Repeat for all the Apps that came preinstalled that you don't want, just be careful you don't remove anything that may still be needed!
A huge thanks to Paul at MoDaCo for this ingenious hack and the Titanium Backup, BusyBox and SuperUser developers for their hard work in writing their apps which also allow us to easy do this
Oh and you can use the Temproot on boot to have a sortof but not fully permaroot
Great work. I'll try on CM 6.1 RC1. One thing though...If I'm rooted I presume I need only the Titanium backup not VISIONary or other tools, right?
Yes you need the other apps, but you can remove them afterwards if you want. You'll need SuperUser to be able to grant Titanium Backup access, and Titanium Backup requires BusyBox to be installed - Titanium Backup gives you the option to install BusyBox if you press the 'Problems?' button under the Overview tab.
PS: you can use the free version of Titanium Backup for this exercise.
Yes, thank you. I knew about busybox and the option to install it from Titanium. SuperUser I have it already since I'm using CyanogenMod RC1 and it is included in the ROM (I think it is OK like this). So only Titanium (+busybox) needs to be installed.
I'll give it a try and let you know the results. I'll try to remove a rather large application (for ex Google Maps) and I'll install it afterward on the sdcard (since it is system appl, it cannot be moved directly to sdcard)
Later edit: IT WORKS! So I've tried to (and succeeded) remove 2 "system" applications: Google Maps and Calculator. Both were removed and the free space is now available (before 80 Mb free, after 91.2 Mb free).
There was only one issue with Maps, the icon still showed up in the application drawer and it was working (even after going through all above). After several checks I found the reason. The Maps were installed twice...the version included in the CM ROM (that was deleted by this procedure) AND the updated Maps (it once asked for upgrading the application from the market and I did that). After removing the "system installed" version of Google Maps, the "updates" remained. I went to Settings-Applications-Manage Applications and I found Maps there. I've uninstalled the updates then rebooted the phone. After that the icon was gone completely.
To conclude, for CM ROMS (or for all phones that are already rooted and have already the SU application), the steps to be performed for removing a system appl are:
1. Install Titanium Backup
2. Press (as instructed) "Problems" button. This will install a working version of busybox.
3. Check if the application you want to remove, has also updates (from Market or some other places) installed. If YES, go to Settings-Applications-Manage Applications and uninstall all the updates.
4. Start Titanium Backup and perform the steps indicated in the first post by TheLegendaryJay.
So it is working on custom ROM's as well and you don't need VISIONary or other application/tools.
All credits go to Paul, CM team and this whole community, the ones which made such things possible for our phones. TheLegendaryJay, thank you also for sharing this with us. Perhaps for rooted phones it is easier to remove applications with adb commands, but some are maybe not so technical to install the SDK or know how to use it (I can be counted as one of them), or they just might want to remove an application when they don't have a pc with SDK nearby.
yap, can confirm this. works great on cm 6.1 rc1. thanks for the hint
For you guys who are rooted - why not just flash the overlay filesystem patch, enable it, and then use any file explorer and go to /system/app/ and delete the apps you dont want? just a tip, it's much easier.. (and takes less time)
Because one of the reasons for which I wanted to rip out an application from the ROM is to gain some more space... By using overlay system, as I understood, you're practically duplicate the whole system to make it accessible for writing so I don't know if you gain some more space. Eventually you'll have less. Or, if that space is on the sdcard, that does not suit me also cause as I know, is working slower from there. Anyhow, I don't want to detail this here cause we'll be off-topic.

As I understand it, the system folder is only linked so the phone believes it's on the SD-card. This should mean, no extra space is taken (except for the few kB that makes this possible). i could be wrong, but I use system overlay and I see no whatsoever decrease in performance. Not in benchmarks nor in usage.
If you are rooted - and dont want system overlay, I still think there is a better wway - ADB! just mount system, cd to system/app, ls it and rm whatever apps ypu dont want.. no need for multiple reboots - quick and effective
adb way might be quicker but it might prove to be ineffective (at least for me it was). In order to remove an application, you must check its filename (with ls command). I've tried to remove Facebook and Twitter applications using adb remove and guess what...they're still there. I admit I might have done something wrong, what I'm saying is that through this new method described above, someone is able to remove an appl by chosing it from a list. For the ones that don't feel so confortable using adb, this is an alternative

When it comes to ADB, you must write the filename exactly as it is, if you want to remove Facebook.apk you must rm Facebook.apk, not facebook.apk or just rm Facebook*
What I do, I ls all files, copy the filenames I want to remove into into a txt file. ex. "rm facebook.apk Torch.apk voiceDialer.apk AndroidTerm.apk" and so on. When I flash a new rom, i just copy that file string and remove em all with that one command ofc. I ls it after and check if there is anything new I want to remove, but I get rid of most of it in a few seconds. (good tip!)
I understood that. Now I've checked again and I know what happened...the same thing I said above. The appl was removed also with adb command but the updates of that appl were not. I've removed the updates from Settings and after that the whole appl was gone (Facebook in this case). So both metods work, everyone can choose what he likes more
Anyway this was much more to test if it's working on custom ROMs as was asked by TheLegendaryJay and less as of providing an alternate way for rooted owners.

You both are wrong. Overlay is just an overlay... it uses several file systems or parts of file systems (directories, files), merge them and show them to us as one new merged file system. The principle is such that if U have one read-only and one read-write file system merged together, all writes are then performed to that read-write one. If you'd like to delete one file from read-only portion, that action is noted on read-write portion and your system doesn't t see that file again through merged file system whereas it is in fact still there...

thanks for this, great info. Now I'm glad I use adb and not file overlay for removing files
Why's that? Overlay is really handy thing for testing... U can make the system think that the file is not there but in fact is. If something goes wrong (boot loop) because of that, U just disable overlay and U R back on with origial state. After U are satisfied with changes, U can merge those changes into read-only file system via recovery mode.

BlaY0, you're totally right. Overlay is a great thing for testing (and by the way many thanks you for what you did). But if you're not a tester, just an enthusiast who look for new stuff for his phone, overlay could be much more than he needs.
I'm looking for example to have as much free space in memory as possible. REAL free space. If I'm using overlay, that will not be gained right? The read only files will still be there, only the overlay will show them "deleted". So...what I'm doing instead is that I'm flashing one of the existing ROMs (as per my preferences - CM 6.1 RC1 for ex.) that will not "brick" my phone, I customize it with widgets and applications as I like, than I start deleting what I don't need. For sure I can use overlay for that, but I can do it also without it. This topic presented an alternative for doing that, to the known adb commands. Also from what I've understood, the method in this topic is more aimed to the ones that are not (or don't want to be) rooted. And for those, the adb method doesn't work
You sure are totally right, but then again if you deleted some apk from /system/app that is needed for some other apk and U didn't know about that, you could end up with a so called boot loop. And if this is done by some noob, the simplest way for him to restore would be to wipe and reflash the original ROM. Overay can prevent such accidents. Actually even with overlay you can save space especially where is needed the most, that's on data partition - there's no need for dex in dalvik-cache any more etc. and surely you get more free ram as that app isn't loading any more. For the system partition it actually doesn't matter if it is full in fact why it shouldn't be full. When we get our S-OFF the first thing I will do is to rearange mtd partitions shrinking system and extending data coz now I have like nearly 50 MB free on system partition that I can not use wisely.

Okay, I must be doing something wrong, but I have no idea what. I have the same ROM as Rapier on my Desire, I have Titanium Backup and I did everything he said above. The pre-installed apps are uninstalled with TB (Car app, News and Weather, Facebook, Twitter, Google Voice, Maps, Quickoffice 2.0 which I have no idea what really is), I clear the Dalvik cache and many mega are freed. Then if I reboot, they're back. Like nothing happened.
Do you have any idea or should I give more details? Thanks for the help, guys.
Have you checked also if those applications you're removing do not have some updates installed? Because if they do, you'll get them back on the phone. First remove the updates from each application (from normal "Application" management), then remove the application residing in system with TB.
PS. QuickOffice is a suite program similar with MS Office, that allows you to read (and in the paid version also to write) office documents (.doc, .xls, .ppt...etc)
Thank you for your quick reply.
Yes, I have checked and uninstalled all updates. They are all with the basic version.
About Quickoffice, I know what it is It's just that the one that came with CM 6.1.0 RC1 cannot be accessed, it can only be used to open supported file formats (I just found out after posting here ). I'd prefer the normal Quickoffice with which I can access my dropbox and Google docs too, that's why I wanted to uninstall this in the first place.
Title is pretty self-explanatory. I prefer Google's apps over some of Huawei's apps and wondered if it's possible to do without bricking the device.
No,You can with root delete Unneccesary google apps
Backup system partition or at least the apks you will remove and try it
Okay, tested it. I couldn't install a stock+ package so I cut down it a little. It seems to work expect from one issue, the "App persmissions" page doesn't open and the popup for permissions has no background.
This small script is now canceled, as I don't own Xperia E1 anymore. I don't know if anybody uses it anyway (as just a few people own Xperia E1 now), but if there is somebody - you can create the same thread with my script and manage it yourself. To download the scripts, head over to this thread - https://forum.xda-developers.com/xperia-e1/themes-apps/tweaks-flashable-zips-scripts-t3813261
Only for Pico package! I don't see a reason to flash Full only to write a script to remove it.
Notice: Google is changing file names regularly, therefore I can't promise that the script will delete every of the Google apps at the time of its writing.
You can also use the script to remove the pre-installed GApps on the stock ROM. Chrome will be removed too (as every app associated with Google).
"Open GApps Remover" is a flashable zip to remove ALL apps and traces of Google. In short - the ROM will look like you've flashed it for first time (custom).
Keep in mind that the zip also wipes your Cache and Dalvik-cache, so if you have any patches or modifications on your system which rely on Dalvik-cache - you will need to apply them again. Wiping Cache and Dalvik-cache also means that you will have to wait from 5 to 10 minutes, all depending on the number of applications you have installed on your phone.
The script will also delete some Google libs and files so that no unwanted files will take space on the ROM.
Tested only on TWRP, PhilZ should work too, I guess.
PM me if something isn't deleted.

I don't even ****ing know why I created a damn poll for this thread, lol.
Personally, I don' t like the basic set of apps that come preinstalled with LineageOS like the calculator, calendar, contacts, dialer, etc. and prefer the Google version of these apps. So I just delete these apps from the system folder after installing the rom. But after every update, I have to repeat this process, which becomes very cumbersome. So, I created this script that deletes all the unwanted apps at once, and I thought that I would share it with everyone because let's be honest, no one likes those LineageOS apps.
*This script will work with all versions of LineageOS!*
List of deleted apps:
BasicDreams
Calendar
DeskClock
Email
ExactCalculator
Jelly
LockClock
messaging
PhotoTable
PicoTts
webview
Contacts
Dialer
Eleven
Gallery2
Installation:
Just got to the recovery and flash the zip file!
NOTE: You can always edit the script yourself if you want to keep certain apps.
Instructions for editing the script
1. Unzip the file.
2. Navigate to META-INF>com>google>android and open the "updater-script" with a text-editor.
3. Just add a "#" (without the quotes) at the starting line for the app you want to keep.
4. Save the updater-script file and re-zip.
You can do this with OpenGApps. https://github.com/opengapps/opengapps/wiki
It replaces your apps with Google Apps (if you want) or you can add apps to be removed during install.

Yes but that is only possible with the aroma package of opengapps, which is greater than 1 GB in size. Not everyone needs that package and it takes a lot of space, which is not worth it just for uninstalling some apps. I just made this script to make it a little easier for people to do the job without having to waste so much of space, especially considering that this phone does not support an SD Card.
@shreyamt The aroma package is not required to remove stock rom apps. This can be done through an open gapps config file.
Edit: Shreyamt I did try out your script and even added some other stuff I don't like to have installed. Works very well, I'm sure lots of people will find this helpful as it's easier than the gapps config file.

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...

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?

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.
