[SCRIPT][Flashable]BloatWare Remover V1 03082014 - Xperia SP Android Development

Bloatware Removal Script​
Hi all,
The Sony Xperia SP comes with a lot of Bloatware. Some can be removed but others can't and that is annoying.
So I've made a small script that removes all the Bloatware..
I did make one for the Samsung Galaxy S Plus (did not get much feedback so I give it a go here​)​
Disclaimer​Easy one: Dont come cry to me when your phone blows up.. I am not held responsible when something goes wrong. Altho I am a person that needs and wants feedback to enhance my skillz.​
Features​This script does one simple thing. It removes .apk and .odex files from Bloatware. This means that the entire application will be removed. It clears not only some storage space on your device but also clears the ammount of active applications and thus saves a bit RAM (some bloatware will always run in the background )​
The Script​Below I will add the entire script so that you all can see what will be removed! I will give some more explanation later on!
Code:
ui_print(" Xperia Bloatware Remover ");
ui_print("+++++++++++++++++++++++++++");
ui_print(" by ");
ui_print(" Mrjraider ");
ui_print(" ");
ui_print("+++++++++++++++++++++++++++");
ui_print(" For Sony Xperia SP ");
ui_print(" Let's go!!! ");
ui_print("+++++++++++++++++++++++++++");
ui_print(" ");
ui_print("Starting to remove Bloatware");
show_progress(0.500000, 0);
ui_print(" ");
ui_print("Mounting system ...");
run_program("/sbin/busybox", "mount", "/system");
ui_print(" ");
ui_print("Deleting bloatware applications...");
delete("/system/app/AnonymousData.apk");

ui_print("Removing complete!");
ui_print("++++++++++++++++++");
show_progress(0.900000, 0);
ui_print(" ");
ui_print(" ");
ui_print("Enjoy a Bloatware free Phone. Leave a thanks on XDA!!");
show_progress(1.000000, 0);
How to use this​To remove bloatware just follow the steps below:
Root the device and get a custom recovery
Download the .zip and put in on your phone
Make a NanDroid backup (just in case!)
Flash it
Reboot
Done​
Adding and removing to the list​If you want you can add and remove lines from the script to give it your own twist. You can safe applications from deleting and you can add applications for deleting. This is very easy to do.
Just add the name of an application behind:
Code:
delete("/system/app/nameofapplication.apk);
If it has an .odex file do the same:
Code:
delete("/system/app/nameofapplication.odex);
Safe the file and flash it again!​

Awesome! Finally one bloatware remover script... Thank u so much :good:

---

Sorry to tell this to you but Speedydroid takes care of bloatware and also includes an adblocker in an aroma installer so doing a script would be technically useless. Sorry if this has hurt your feelings in any sort of way.
The thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2393408
Anyways, the script works fine. Great job!

Dude, can i make a sugestion if possible?
Instead of deleting all the .apk if they were moved to a backup folder. So that we could install them in case of need.
If that is possible would be great, what do you think?
Edit:Not a good idea or impossible to do?

---

I've taken a look to the update-script commands and there is no "Move .apk to" command.
I've checked this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2377695
And there is no "Move" command. I can't even find a copy and paste command.. So sorry
But like I've said you can edit the script very easy yourself. So if you want to save some applications just remove the lines of the script

Hi all,
I have found a move to command (many thanks @[NUT] I was reading your DIY Guide about How To Create a Personal ROM )
I will try to implement this in the next version. With some luck it will be out next week
~~Regards
btw:
Code:
run_program("/sbin/busybox", "mv", "/data/media", "/data/temporary");
run_program("/sbin/busybox", "mkdir", "/data/media");
run_program("/sbin/busybox", "mv", "/data/temporary", "/data/media/0")
I need to edit these commands

Yes, but you need busybox for those commands. Make sure you state in the thread that busybox is a requirement.

Theres a spelling mistake here:-
'delete("/sytem/app/Protips.apk");'
Missing 's' from 'system' folder.
Should be:-
'delete("/system/app/Protips.apk");'
Thanks
