This is a Small Zip Package to remove pre-installed bloatware from CM11.

The apps that are bloatware for me might be a necessity for others. Hence, it may be a good idea to see what is going to be removed from the list below:

Code:
 v1 - 20-09-2014
delete("/system/app/LiveWallpapers.apk",
	   "/system/app/Galaxy4.apk",
	   "/system/app/NoiseField.apk",
	   "/system/app/CMHome.apk",
	   "/system/app/CMWallpapers.apk",
	   "/system/app/HoloSpiralWallpaper.apk",
	   "/system/priv-app/CMAccount.apk",
	   "/system/app/MagicSmokeWallpapers.apk",
	   "/system/app/VisualizationWallpapers.apk",
	   "/system/app/PhaseBeam.apk",
	   "/system/priv-app/VoiceDialer.apk",
	   "/system/app/VoicePlus.apk",
	   "/system/app/WhisperPush.apk",
	   "/system/app/PhotoPhase.apk"
	   );

You could modify the file \META-INF\com\google\android\updater-script from the zip file to add/remove/modify your own list of bloatware. If you do add and make your own script, feel free to share it as a reply so I could improve the script.

Instructions:

Copy the zip file to your sd-card.
Install it in TWRP.

Note: Flash it only after the first boot of CM11 is complete. i.e Flash CM11. Boot into system. Then, go back to recovery and then install the cleanup script. If you do not follow this procedure, you will get force-closes in SetupWizard at bootup. The reason this happens is because the script removes CMAccount.apk which is required by the SetupWizard at first boot to proceed.
