Welcome to CleanTOOL! This is a quick little script I whipped up to clean up all the bloat on the Rezound. The script uses temp root to disable most bloat. Bloat will NOT come back on a reboot! They are gone until hard reset you enable them again.

Adobe Reader, lock Buster, NFL, Golf, Kindle, Slacker, HTC Set Up, Polaris Office, App Sharing, FaceBook, Flicker, NFS, MY Verizon, VCast Music, VCast Video, Video Surf, VZ Nav, Back Up Assistance, Scan, Twitter, Footprints, FriendStream, Mobile Instant Messenger, Tasks, Usage Monitor, Watch, Printer.

New in this version
Fixed: Gallery blank screen issue when using the Disable Sense script

Instructions:
  • Install HTC USB Sync Drivers if not already installed
  • Download package from download link and extract to your desktop
  • Enable USB Debugging on Phone
  • Connect Device to PC in Charge Only Mode
  • Run "CleanTOOL 2.1.1"
  • Enjoy bloat free goodness!

How to mod the script to your satisfaction...

Not everyone considers the same thing Bloat... I consider everything I listed above as bloat. If you want to modify the script to not remove some of the apps then here is what you do...

Instead of running the CleanTOOL Batch file... Open it in notepad and find this section at about the 1/2 way to 2/3s point...

@echo Temp Rooted! Now about to clean it up!
@pause
@Echo OFF
@adb shell pm disable com.adobe.reader
@adb shell pm disable com.blockbuster.app.htc
@adb shell pm disable com.mobitv.client.nfl2010
@adb shell pm disable com.gameloft.android.Verizon.GloftLGolf2.lgolf2
@adb shell pm disable com.amazon.kindle
@adb shell pm disable com.slacker.radio
@adb shell pm disable com.htc.android.htcsetupwizard
@adb shell pm disable com.infraware.docmaster
@adb shell pm disable com.htc.appsharing
@adb shell pm disable com.facebook.katana
@adb shell pm disable com.htc.socialnetwork.flickr
@adb shell pm disable com.ea.nfshp
@adb shell pm disable com.vzw.hss.myverizon
@adb shell pm disable com.pv.android.verizon.mod
@adb shell pm disable com.pv.android.verizon.avod
@adb shell pm disable com.videosurf.activity
@adb shell pm disable com.vznavigator.ADR6425LVW
@adb shell pm disable com.htc.VzWBackupAssistantClient
@adb shell pm disable com.mtag.scan
echo Cleaned!
echo Visit www.scottsroms.com for all your Android ROM Needs!
Pause
This is where all the disabling is done. Simply delete any line that you want to keep on the phone. Save file and then run it. Below is the actual app name to make it easy.

Adobe Reader: com.adobe.reader
Block Buster: com.blockbuster.app.htc

Additional bloat that I will have removed in next version:

Footprints: com.htc.android.footprints
Footprints Widget: com.htc.footprints.widget3d

Mobile IM: com.htc.mim

News: com.htc.googlereader
News Widget: com.htc.googlereaderwidget

Friendstream: com.htc.friendstream
Friendstream lockscreen: com.htc.idlescreen.socialnetwork

Conversely, if you want to enable something that you prior disabled simple send the enable command instead of the disable command like this:

@adb shell pm enable com.facebook.katana
Sending that line will enable Facebook. The same method for any thing else.


Here is a list of ALL the apps in the ROM. It was converted from PNG format (by me) to a text file (by MrSmith317) for very easy copy and paste!

Post with a CSV file is HERE. Thank it too, that was a hella lot of typing!

I also converted the CSV to text with the commands embedded. USE WITH CAUTION! You disable something you dont intended to you may have to hard reset!

Does this remove from phone or just freeze the app without removing it?

Ran, said successful, didn't grant root, or delete anything :(

As you know if you cant get temp root the script wont work. The first time I tried to get temp root I had to reboot the phone and start fresh.

Try this...

Reboot phone, make sure USB Debugging is one, Sd card is not mounted, and Allow Unknown sources for app install. Let me know if that doesn't work.


What he asked....

edit: n/m when I hit reply his post was the last one but I see question was already answered.

Answered... No, it just freezes the apps.

That's cool. If i didn't wake up each morning to a dead phone id consider this temp root moonsetgender(lol... Swype displayed that when i tried to input "nonsense").
If i ever make a new account here that's going to be my name. "moonsetgender"

Anyways though, i went through the whole temp root bit with the Incredible 2, trying to avoid it again this time & just have fingers crossed on an S-OFF that won't take as long as the Incredible 2.

Good show though chap!

    Numbers are not adding up here :(

    We devs dont post our work for anyone but you guys. I had this working on my device and thats the only device I use. I didint have to share this. Coulda let yall suffer in VZW bloat hell but I am not that type of guy :eek: Occasionally we get donations but hitting thanks on the OP should be a no questions asked procedures when you find something usefull.
