[BETA] De-bloat Script

[Rizzed]

Removes unnecessary applications on your device.
Please note that a factory reset is required after flashing the .zip below, thus still being in beta mode. Any attempt to boot without a factory reset after flashing will get you stuck on the boot animation.

Hello everybody! I'm really caught up with lots of work and really do not have the time now to do up the script. Also, I just sold my ZenFone to someone else (for a better one) thus being unable to check whether the script (when updated) works alright/perfectly or not, thus, I have decided to close this project entirely. This may be my very first contribution to the XDA community, but nonetheless, the support given was tremendous. Thank you once again.

If any of you are willing to do up an updated version for the script, you may use my script as a base to modify or as a reference.

THIS IS NOT THE ACTUAL SCRIPT

show_progress(0.750000, 0);
ifelse(is_mounted("/system") == "/system", unmount("/system"));
ifelse(is_mounted("/cache") == "/cache", unmount("/cache"));
mount("ext4", "EMMC", "/dev/block/bootdevice/by-name/system", "/system");
mount("ext4", "EMMC", "/dev/block/bootdevice/by-name/cache", "/cache");
show_progress(0.050000, 5);
[B]delete_recursive("/xda/Rizzed");[/B]
delete_recursive("/cache");
delete_recursive("/data/dalvik-cache");
delete_recursive("/data/resource-cache");
show_progress(0.200000, 10);
[B]delete_recursive("/system/xda/Rizzed");[/B]
unmount("/system");
unmount("/cache");
ui_print("Bye!");

THIS IS NOT THE ACTUAL SCRIPT

Anyways, happy modding!

Works well on ZE500KG, since it has only 8gb every bit of space is nice. Thanks.
Had to delete 5th line of \META-INF\com\google\android\updater-script to skip verification

 

[Rizzed]

Ahhh yeap! Really sorry, I only allowed "Z00L" devices in the code, but did not give further thought for other devices... I will update the file, removing the verification checks for specific device models!

EDIT: Download Updated (new changes applied)

I will be pushing this to a "non-beta" mode this weekend, when I am free. Hopefully it works!

Hi,

Is this script compatible for ZE601KL?

 

[Rizzed]

Hi,

Is this script compatible for ZE601KL?

It is compatible for all ZenFone 2 Laser variants. Do remember that you need to factory reset after applying this.

Also, are there any applications which you would like me to include/exclude specially for you in this script?

Do tell me if any errors occur.

 

[andrehsu]

Have you created a version for marshmallow yet?

 

[Rizzed]

Have you created a version for marshmallow yet?

Not yet as of now.

I will update my post later for ZE500KL devices.

Hi Rizzed,

I finally flashed TWRP and your Debloater yesterday for my ZE601KL. It is definitely working.

I wonder if you could include the following in your script:
1. (Essentially all the ASUS apps)
2. ASUS Calendar (can be installed via Play Store)
3. Flashlight
4. File Explorer

Thanks!

 

[danmar90]

Someone tried this in ZD551kl? Did this de-bloat helps the performance of battery? Thankyou!

 

[Rizzed]

EDIT: Please check my second post.

 

[Bust_Ed]

Tested on my ZE601KL - works ok. Still DON'T forget to do factory reset!

 

[halow]

Works fine on me too.
Thanx
