[ROM] [LITE & HEAVILY DE-Bloated] [700MB] Galaxy Tab pROM - Galaxy Tab Pro 12.2, 10.1, 8.4 Android Development

This is a VERY Light and Heavily debloated version of freeza's pROM for Galaxy Tab Pro 8.4 (SM-T320)
pROM is fast, stable and smooth. Freeza did an excellent job on his ROM/kernel. However it was still "bloated"
for my liking. Apart from samsung bloatware still present, for some reason he included some 3d party apps on
/system/ partition. I tried debloating the pROM after installing it, but it was almost imposible.
So, I decided to customize the .zip file and remove all the -safe to remove- .apks manually.
After researching for each .apk individually, I removed totaly 110 apks (!) from Freeza's ROM.
Nothing else changed/tweaked from the original pROM.
Benchmarks seem to like this rom too: 35.500+ on AnTuTu, 914/2845 on GeekBench 3
Kept original Nova Launcher, File Manager, Keyboard and Browser in case you need to use them for backup restoring purposes.
you can delete/disable them later with Root Uninstaller.
I have been using this ROM for a week now and its very stable, using many 3rd party games and applications
(see screenshots for the apps I am using) No issues whatsoever from the removed apks.
I didnt know how to remove panels from settings, so when you try to open the following panels they will crash
because the corresponding applications were removed:
* Samsung email/calendar sound options
* notifications history
Sorry for that, just resist the temptation!
So if you are like me and you want your ROM as "empty" as possible, this is for you:
Mod edit: Download link removed.
If you dont mind some extra stuff then install the Original pROM, it's great.
apks removed: (in case you miss something, inlude it in the .zip before flashing)
Mod edit: Links removed.
Instructions:
1. Full Wipe (Factory Reset + /System/) (Philz/TWRP recommended as always)
2. Install .zip
3. Let it auto-restart on 1st boot
4. Enjoy!
All credits go to freeza for this. In my opinion its the only worthy ROM for this tablet. If he ever updates his ROM I will make a newer Lite version (if needed)

Do you have the dev's permission? One would hope so.
You linked to the dev's work, which is good, but aside from removing apks, I see zero actual development effort of any kind going into this. Thus, I cannot understand how this even qualifies as development, much less a dev DB project.
I strongly urge you to seek the dev's permission to post this if not already having done same, and at a minimum moving this to the general thread if and when the developer's permission is attained.

"Did the developer have samsung's permission? Because appart from tweaking samsung's developers hard work I see zero actual development effort of any kind......"
Here another nonsense sentence with your logic.
I never claimed I am a developer, I used the dev DB so it would appear as a ROM for easy find and access.
I made the ROM for myself and since it worked well for me I thought I should share because you know... Share is love. I gave all the credit to freeza (even mentioned him on the installation script). I do not have any gain of this (donations, beers, cookies), so if its offending in any way to the original developer remove the thread, I dont mind.

I neither stated that what you did was ill-intentioned, nor that what you provided was unhelpful to others. I think what you have provided is useful.
I did indicate that you posted the rom in the wrong forum, and that gaining the author's permission prior to publishing, credit given or no, would have been appropriate for these forums. This is the work of the developer, and it is he whom invested hundreds of hours creating it, not you.
I fail to see how something solely based on a desire to share is sufficient to merit earning its own thread in the development section.
I suggested that you move the thread to the general section, and gain the dev's permission prior to publishing same.

Since its a seperate ROM it should be on a seperate topic. And since its a ROM, it should be on dev db topic. Thats what the forum rules say.
I mentioned him officially while creating the topic so i am sure he is notified about this.
As the OD did not get permission from samsung to change it's work, I dont need permission to change his work either. Its the chain of unofficial development. If someone would change MY work to help others while mentioning me, I would be happy and proud
Thats what I personally believe.
If the forum administrators or the developer have a problem with this, they should remove/move/whatever it. I felt it would be wrong not to mention the Original developer since he put much more effort than I did, so I mentioned him on every step. I really cant even imagine what should I do beyond that.
If you want to pretend being the "lawyer" of the forum/developers go ahead and report this to them, dont speak on their behalf without even their permission.
I already regret puting the extra effort to index, upload and creating this topic just to share and help others.

If you want to change something to the stock rom you are free to do so and publish it, modifying someone else's work and publishing it its another story.
Forum rules:
12. Using the work of others.
If you are developing something that is based on the work of another Member, you MUST first seek their permission and you must give credit to the member whose work you used. If a dispute occurs about who developed / created a piece of work, first try to settle the matter by private message and NOT in open forum. If this fails, you may then contact a Moderator and provide clear evidence that the work was created by you.
Convincing evidence will result in the copied work being removed. If there is no clear evidence that it was you who created the work, then in the spirit of sharing, all work will remain posted on the forums.
As an addition, developers have the right to hold exclusivity over their work for as long as it is deemed necessary by that developer. However, if the work is claimed as exclusive, it must remain as such. No selective sharing will be allowed (ie, allowing certain people to use it and not others). Should the developer decide to start sharing the work with others, the work automatically becomes fair game for all to use, albeit with the relative credit displayed.
In regard to permissions, the same rules apply for this but if permission was already given and unless there is a very valid reason, it cannot be revoked (same applies to major updates on the work). Under that same premise, permissions cannot be denied unless the work is exclusive or under extreme circumstances.
In plain English: If you want to keep your work exclusive, go for it. However, if you are going to share your work, do it fairly.
These rules apply to all software posted on XDA (including but not limited to ROMs, RUUs, apps, games, kernels, themes, icons, etc) unless that software comes with a license that waives these rules.

And to be clear, removing a couple of apps it is not development. If you had the permission from the dev, your thread would be in the General section.
