[DEBLOAT] Remove ATT Bloatware Stock/Rooted [Flashable]

[homeslice976]

This is a simple flashable package with an updater script that will remove the following:

ATT Device Help
ATT Address Book Sync
ATT Amazon Kindle
ATT CityID
ATT Drive Mode
ATT Family Map
ATT Hot Spot
ATT Locker
ATT Messages
ATT myATT
ATT Navigator
ATT Promo Widget
ATT Ready2go
ATT SmartWifi
ATT YPmobile

Added to removeATTbloat5.zip:
ATT CodeScanner
ATT Games

This should work on either odexed or deodexed stock/rooted. I recommend wiping cache and dalvik after flashing in TWRP or CWM.

If you notice one of these still installed after rebooting - you can remove it via play store after flashing this zip, but BEFORE you do please get me the package name from /data/app/ so I can add it to the script to be removed

Looking for even more of a cleanse? @wevsspot has shared a script here (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=46916104&postcount=65) that will remove above and beyond ATT bloat. Thanks!

Thanks. I'll give it a try. If it works like expected, You Da Man!!!!:laugh:

Edit:
Works great, but I did notice a few other AT&T apps I would like to get rid of, " AT&T FamilyMap, AT&T Smart Wi-Fi and AT&T Messages".
Is it possible to add these to the script?

Thanks man!

Hmm they were removed for me...but looking through i think i see a few more things that need removed that may take care of it. Gimme a few..

Edit: Do they still show in /system/app/ when checking with a file browser?

No actually they don't. They are still in my app drawer and do still run when clicked one. Maybe I can uninstall now on google play. I'll try.

Edit: I was able to remove them from the play store and after reboot they are still gone. Thanks man. Not sure why I needed to do that, but it worked.

Before you uninstall them, Can you check /data/app/ ? If they're there, get me the package names, please

Edit: just saw your edit. No worries.

Note to anyone else who doesn't get something removed - you can remove it via play store after running this script, but before you do please get me the package name from /data/app/ so I can add it to the script

Ya Sorry. If I knew more about how things work, I would have known better and waited to see if there was anything that could have helped you first.

Hey, just used your script. I still have AT&T Smart Wi-Fi in the app drawer and both AT&T Messages and AT&T Smart Wi-Fi under installed apps. I couldn't find any remaining AT&T apk's under /system/app.

 

[homeslice976]

Could you please check /data/app?

Nothing AT&T related in there either.

Edit:
My /data is empty actually.

 

[homeslice976]

Probably won't be att there.. it'll be com.something.something. the icons should be the same though..

Does this remove ATT Contacts too? So many useless features, right?

--edit:
Never mind, ATT Contacts are gone too. Great!
I still see LiveTV though which I believe is from AT&T. This app is a different one from TV with the remote function.

Great, thank you!

Here's an ls from \system\app on a developer model. I'm guessing anything the AT&T model has beyond that is bloatware.

Thank you! This works.....just AT&T messages remain left in the list.

 

[homeslice976]

Here's an ls from \system\app on a developer model. I'm guessing anything the AT&T model has beyond that is bloatware.

~snip~

Thanks for the list...the extra ones we have (on top of what the package already removes) are as follows:

com.mobitv.client.tv.apk (LiveTV)
CS_Flow.apk (can't find much info about it, but I think it's the ATT Setup you get first boot/after wiping data)
PDF_Viewer_F_A.apk (sounds like a pdf viewer)
SoundHound_Freemium.apk (Free version of Sound Hound)
TetheringGuard.apk (Don't 100% know what this does or if it should be removed?)

I'll get these added, and I'll add TetheringGuard too if someone can confirm it's safe to remove.

we don't have:

kidmode_google.apk
LMIRescue.apk
LMIRescueIcon.apk
LMIRescueSecurity.apk
MyBreeze.apk
UDove.apk

Thank you! This works.....just AT&T messages remain left in the list.

Please let me know the name of the package in /data/app.

 

[cschmitt]

Please let me know the name of the package in /data/app.

International has the following in /data/preload (some are duplicates you've already excluded.)

Calculator.apk
Flashlight.apk
HtcRingtoneTrimmer.apk
HtcSoundRecorder.apk
PDF_Viewer_F_A.apk
SoundHound_Freemium.apk
TuneIn.apk

FYI, I took a peak inside TetheringGuard.apk and it appears to be an HTC built app that that is used to check and grant/block hotspot and tethering permissions. It has code specific for Verizon, Sprint, and AT&T.

Since it's not included in the international ROM, might try removing it and seeing if wifi hotspot still works.

 

[EboniK]

Thank you for this sir

 

[blackplague1347]

Would be cool if we could add the stuff that comes with the international HTC One Just a thought. Although I don't know what the international has that ours doesn't.

Does this debloat script eliminate the bar that shows up when you open the stick browser (has a Facebook button, a share button, etc.)? I don't really mind it per se, but I think it's an AT&T thing so I'm curious.

Once again, OP is king.

This is a great little tool. However, I have a small problem. Since I installed Scott's stock rooted odex rom, then this zip. Now everything works fine except it wont let me install apps I have previously purchased. It says "Couldn't install on USB storage or SD card."

I tried wiping cache/dalvic & fixing permissions and still get same error. Any suggestions?

Everything else works fine.

Thanks for this, it is very helpful until we get some good custom roms.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Edit: This was a problem with Scot's rom and he is upping a fix. Thanks again for this OP!
