Anyone having issues... I was then I remembered that when I rooted and installed Superuser that there were two in the play store. I went and downloaded Superuser SU version and then I was able to debloat etc.

Also make sure you have USB Debugging enabled from the development settings

S5 Android KoolKit V1.0.0 Beta

KoolKit_V1.0.0.PNG


Remove Bloatware based on custom text file
Enable init.d support

Apply several performance build.prop performance enhancements

Instructions:


I recomend installing busybox from the playstore prior to running the tookit some components that are pushed to the device make use of busybox.

I know the screenshot shows the ability to enable custom bootanimation which at this moment is not enabled do to some small glitches yet to be fixed.

Changelog
V1.0.0 Beta
init.d support
performance enhancements
bloatware removal
reboot options (reboot, recovery, download)
device model detected on startup
Much more to come as I get a chance.

Bugs
odex file names missing from nobloat.txt defaults - (fixed in beta 1.0.0.1)
custom bootanimation - (fixed in beta 1.0.0.1)
system read/write access ocasionally fails - (fixed in beta 1.0.0.1)

Attached to this post is a patch that will enable the custom bootanimation portion of the KoolKit v1.0.0 beta, just extract into the kooklit folder and overwrite when prompted.

Attached to this post is an excel spreadsheet that shows all of the apps that are safe to disable/delete not all of these are included by default in the nobloat.txt, the file also includes all of the custom USSD Codes and the codes verified to work on our device.

Thanks
Google (For Android of course)
Samsung (For the Galaxy S5)
AT&T (For putting us thru a living H$!! for the last two months)
And mostly thanks @geohot for providing us with root, because lets face it without root This app would be meaningless!

if it is not seeing your device try unticking mtp then re ticking it, if that does not work tick the box for PTP I had to use PTP to get this tool to find the device just a FYI

I'll see about the init.d part that requires some system edits and a few files,

for the build prop add this at the end of your build.prop and remember to chmod 0644 when your down or else your device wont boot.

Hopefully its not too much trouble.. Thanks!

well, a quick search shows that there are edits needed to the settings.db, and since that would be different for nearly every user it would require pulling the settings.db file from the device automating the edits and then pushing it back all while hoping nothing got borked in the process. It could be done but would be much easier if we had an unlocked bootloader that way i could just have the code do an adb remount instead of having to issue an "su -c" prefix for every single command then i could do the edits on the fly and not even have to pull the db. half the code in the current version could be whacked if i could use adb remount.

I'll see if there are any less painful ways to automate but might take a while.

    S5 Android KoolKit V1.0.1 RC2

    KoolKitV101.PNG


    Remove Bloatware based on custom text file
    Enable init.d support

    Apply several performance build.prop performance enhancements

    Instructions:
    Extract the zip file to your PC, Make sure your device is connected via USB and that you have the appropriate USB drivers installed.For Bloatware removal look in the "bloat" folder and customize the nobloat.txt file to your needs (it has a set of default apks and odex files to remove you can modifiy this however you like (the files for knox removal are listed but are commented out in order to enable them just remove "#" from the beginning of the line (However, I have not tested the knox removal completely so use caution, i would suggest start by removing only those apks and odex files that exist in the system/priv-app folder and then go from there). init.d support is built into the code itself and needs no editing. the performance tweaks are a set of midrange enhancements for picture and video quality as well as connectivity and battery enhancement (these are hard coded and in the final release I will make them user customizable. More detailed instructions are displayed in the initial readme file displayed when starting up the application.

    I recomend installing busybox from the playstore prior to running the tookit some components that are pushed to the device make use of busybox.

    Great tool first of all!
    One problem I have though is the annoying ATT boot sound is still there. Is there any reason why that would be?
    I have the Google splash but the ATT sound is still present.....
    Use root Explorer and change the name of system/media /audio /ui/power on.ogg to power on.bak

    SM-G870A Peace
