    Since I was asked to release the remove bloatware script (hardcore mode) from the now more or less obsolete kn0x0ut toolbox, here it goes.

    This baby removes like 99,9% of bloatware you can think of, including most google stuff (only Google Account, Google Services Framework, and Play store remain, thats all you need to download apps), all the "test" apps and otherwise useless stuff in my eyes.

    Only run this if you know what you are doin and know how to reinstall the stuff incase something gets deleted that you want to use.

    Make a nandroid backup before too or something, and report if something important is not working after running. (was created for ML2 rom, dunno if it works with Kitkat)

    Calling, GPS, Wifi, etc. should all be still working. (but NetworkLocation gets deleted, this will stop the phone sending location data to google afaik, but GPS-aware apps still work. Just install it back if you want to be tracked errr I mean if you want apps to get your location by network data from google.

    WTF cant upload sh, so put this into a sh script and run it:

    Code:

    If it was created for 4.3 I doubt very much it will work on KitKat. I tried the other user script lying around the forum these days and too much names and locations have been changed (mainly of samsung stuff)

    Would love to see a hard-core script for KitKat 4.4.2.
    :good:

    all pm´s sent.
    i left zroice a msg, asking for his permission to post it here.

    i cleaned up the script because i relized that i put some additional files and folders in. nothing of importance, few sound files and so on.
    now it is 100% the zroice hardcore script.

    if you like it, leave him a thanks :good:
