Click on the yellow text and it'll give you the path to it, from which you can get the filename

my question is simple it may be a noob question but if i do this manually and want to keep certain apps can i or can i not just delete the odex file or would i need to do something special to all of it so it can be deodexed but still have some of the apps i want on that list thanks in advance

Just deleting the odex files will not deodex you, it's a bit more technical than that but basically the odex files get merged with the actual apk... And if you want to use this but don't want to get rid of all the apps on the list use notepad++ (must be notepad++) and delete the apps you want to keep from the updater script... Sounds a bit complicated if you don't know what you're doing but it's easy as pie I assure you (and this script won't deodex your phone, it only gets rid of knox apps and bloat, I recommend using this after you deodex since the bloat will be added back in if do this first)

A little guide if you want to modify the list for your own personal use:

1. Download Notepad++ it is free and easy to use.

2. Open (do not extract) the zip file with a zip file manager like WinRAR and navigate to /META-INF/com/google/android and open installer-script; windows will not know what program to use so you will have to specify notepad++ and may have to browse to the program file location where it is installed the first time you do it this way.

3. Comment out the lines for the files you wish to keep with the # symbol. You could delete the entire lines but this way, they are just ignored in case you want to revert your changes later.

Example, we want to keep digital clock and dropbox:

delete("/system/app/DeepSea.apk");
delete("/system/app/DeepSea.odex");
[COLOR="Blue"]#[/COLOR] delete("/system/app/DigitalClock.apk");
[COLOR="Blue"]#[/COLOR] delete("/system/app/DigitalClock.odex");
[COLOR="Blue"]#[/COLOR] delete("/system/app/DigitalClock21.apk");
[COLOR="Blue"]#[/COLOR] delete("/system/app/DigitalClock21.odex");
[COLOR="Blue"]#[/COLOR] delete("/system/app/Dropbox.apk");
[COLOR="Blue"]#[/COLOR] delete("/system/app/DropboxOOBEPriority4.apk");
delete("/system/app/DualClockAnalog.apk");
delete("/system/app/DualClockAnalog.odex");
delete("/system/app/DualClockDigital.apk");
delete("/system/app/DualClockDigital.odex");

4. Save your changes and flash the updated file as normal when you're ready.

Did not remove all listed.

I went through the steps listed here

http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2743971

However, when I rebooted and took a look many of the listed apps below were still there. Thoughts? The process worked fine, just the complete results did not.

Thanks.

This is a recovery flashable tool I made to remove all Knox Apps (sorry it WON'T remove Knox from the bootloader) and all the BloatWare that comes with stock. It also removes the Odex files if you are not on DeOdex. This will work on both ND8 and MK3, Odexed and DeOdexed. All in a package less than 1 MB.

Check your md5sum, some people have said they had to flash it twice

I originally just flashed the knox remover. I want to get rid of some of the apks in the list that I having got rid of yet, can I use titanium-backup to remove them or do I have to flash the desamsungizer script again. I already removed knox apps with flash, then used titanium to remove some of the others.

I flashed this multiple times. The only thing it never got rid of is paper artist. I don't mind removing one thing manually though. Thanks for doing 99.9% of the work for me.

Thank you man haven't used your tool but its always nice to find more to add to my own list. I will definitely be keeping up with this thread and tell you some of my own.

Facelock unlock for lockscreen is a must go. Who uses that anyway. over 25 mb freed up from removing it. We may need to edit it out of keyguard.apk though.

FaceLock.apk
"/system/lib/libfacelock_jni.so"
"/system/lib/libfacerecognition.so"
"/system/vendor/pittpatt"

will add more later

Flashed it 1000 times and also tried it on fresh rom install.. PaperArtist, Google Play Movies & TV and Google Drive can't remove. Any way to fix it without using Titanium Backup.

Thanks

Navigate to where they are installed (system/app or system/priv-app) with a root explorer and delete the apk, reboot and done

Is there something in this package that would remove the ability to sync Dropbox and FB photos with my gallery. The option is greyed out in my gallery settings now. If so what do I need to restore this feature?

Probably the removal of the sCloudSync apps. There's a zip in post #3 of the Wicked X thread.

 

[ReapersDeath]

This only removed some.. How come?
