Changelog

Current changelog: -- 14 June
- Added build.prop RAM managment tweaks from @mickeyinid and [user=4517211]@Xileforce[/user]. see link below for the thread.
- Removed /system/app/SecuritylogAgent.apk Hopefully it fixes the Knox screen of death.


6 JUNE

-Reinstalled a free things, should return RAM management back to stock.
- Installed 3 minit battery mod. (www.3minit.com)
-----This will likely cause SystemUI FC when typing decrypt password, I can make a non-3minit version if people are interested.
- File size is larger, I used 7 zip to zip it, no compression.
- Messed with floating.XML, trying to get normal settings menu. It didn't work, but I just left the modified file.


29 May 2015

-More bloat removed.
-No more AT&T locker on first boot.
-I hope all the knox stuff is gone.
-Now should show data icons for Canada (I hate the AT&T ones.) --Maybe not, need to figure out what's causing it not to work.

26 May 2015
Deodexed the /system for easy themeing.
Centered the clock
Made the clock disappear when on lockscreen
Erased the battery icon (I use the "show battery percentage" setting)
Erased the AT&T text in status bar when no icons are shown.
Removed the NFC Icon from statusbar.
Removed the AT&T wifi notification.

FAQ

Q: Where is the Kernel? or Where is the Kernel Source?
A: Since AT&T and Samsung have consipred to lock the bootloader, there is not kernel as flashing anything but stock will probably require an Odin flash to stock.

Q: Any way to get just the SystemUI for use on other DeOdexed ROM?
A: Yes, here you go. SystemUI.apk
Any more, you ask, I'll try answer.

Small update, I have a semi-useless phone for a few days, waiting on AT&T to send me a new one. Mine currently will only get a signal about 25%-50% of the time. I also have some stuff planned with my daughter this weekend, so I probably won't be doing much until I get my new phone and put it through the paces. I had to put stock back on my current S6, and am lazy and don't feel like flashing my ROM back on just to flash stock in a few days . I'll still be around and I'll look into some of the things you guys brought to my attention though.

Downloading now. I'll give a try.

I'm dying to try this, but I'm all pimped out where I am. I dread the two hours to get it where I want, even though I am desirous of your changes... What are the odds a dirty flash would work, coming from Cleanrom? Also, based on the file size, this is largely debloated, is that correct?

Awesome. Tell me if it works? I've only tried it on one phone (mine). And thanks for trying it

It should work. I dirty flashed from CleanROM 1.1 to this one, and it worked fine. I can't promise anything though of course. You can always back up in flashfire and try though.

I'm coming from stock rooted.

As long as you have the OE2 update I would say it should work, but I'm not 100% sure.

It is a bit debloated, mostly I took out anything saying ATT (except the amazon app, I like it lol).

 

[s8freak]

@_Dennis_ is themer working now?

I am able to use it just fine. I downloaded and applied urban theme, then flashed the material dark theme from the verizon forum.

I'm looking at some layers (RRO) stuff. was suggested to me via PM. Samsung uses a version of layers, just need to figure out how close to AOSP it is and if some mods can be done to support AOSP layers. Not making promises this will go anywhere, just what I'm currently messing around with.

I had a problem with unauthorized software installed please reboot quite often not sure what that's about

Sounds like a Knox issue. Thought I got all of it out. I'll take a deeper look. Sorry about that.

That's what I figured as well man I know you'll get it done. Other than that I'm pleased as punch with a deodexed Rom. Good job:thumbup::thumbup:

Hi @_Dennis_ !

Can you pleast post unmodified SystemUI.apk ? I want to mod the battery for @s6freak but because you removed the battery it causes a SystemUI fc . Can I ask please where did you mod it ? You can also post just the original unmoded xml/smali if you wish.

Thanks a lot !

Aye, its on my laptop. I can post it tomorrow evening. I changed the values of the battery height and width in an XML file....I think it was the dimens.XML I believe the original values were 15dip. Like I said I'll get you the file tomorrow.

Oh c00l that's not a problem to change at all. Beside that any other mods to SystemUI ?

 

[s8freak]

@DaOldMan and @_Dennis_ many thanks you guys I appreciate what you're doing very much

Just center clock as described by ticklefish in the link from OP. And I removed a line about the carrier from the same time as the center clock (status bar.XML) The section commented out in there about Knox was causing systemUI fc if left in, so I commented it out. Otherwise that's all I think I did in systemUI.
