If you've updated any stock apps, the updated versions won't be removed.
Now that I have my own Galaxy S3, I figured it was time to add that to the Chlorine mix.
Basically it's a web based tool that will generate a CWM compatible update.zip to remove pre-installed apps (bloat).
As always, backup and be confident with restoring your phone via download mode or CWM.

What this does:
This is a little bit of PHP that will generate a customised CWM3 compatible update.zip which will remove specific apks (and associated .odexes).
Usage:
* Choose which APKs you want the update.zip to remove and hit the Generate button.
- You can also select a preset to save some clicking.
* Copy the generated .zip file to your phone.
* Apply it with CWM.
Thanks:
The SGS list of APKs was grabbed from the public google docs spreadsheet.
The SGS2 APK list was grabbed from this public google docs spreadsheet
The SGS3 APK list was grabbed from this public google docs spreadsheet. XDA thread
Notes:
* Requires busybox for mounting /system.
* The APK list shouldn't let you remove anything 'vital' to booting the phone (Only green "yes" marked items are in the list). If there's any bloat that does need to be added to the database, let me know. Likewise if you remove something that borks your phone.
* If you have any particular ideas for good presets, also let me know and I'll see to adding them.
* Stock apps that have been updated (either via play store or in app updates) will not be "fully" removed. You can manually remove the updates though.

Just quickly trying this on wanamlite 1.5 to remove chaton will post back
EDIT: the good news of is that it still boots, the bad that chaton is still installed i have siyah 1.3.7 busybox and wanamlite 1.5
If you want more details just ask
Regards

first time uninstalling chatON it didnt delete the program but only the update from chatON, second time i uninstalled chatON it uninstalled the app itself
-other method-
use titanium backup to freeze/uninstall all bloatware.. works fast with tickbox and voila

If u could make your "site" read all your installed apps and not only bloatware,this would be a very handy and cool tool
I can also confirm that ChatON is NOT deleted after running this a couple of times. It doesn´t matter whether or not more apps, other than ChatON, is included in the .zip.

Are the other apps being deleted, or is nothing being removed?

It 'sounds' like, ChatON shoves some crap into /data/app. (updates) which are causing it to linger around. I wasn't able to check /data/app without su.
I'll confirm in a few days when I have a chance to root, test and so on.

Of course, this way has been around for ages. I always found maintaining the titanium backup list was more effort though. If you're flashing multiple roms frequently.

Great idea. But there is already an app that can do this "app2zip" where u can backup all your apps in a flashable zip.

u should check out the app its in the market

...what? They do different things. app2zip takes your apps and packages them into a CWM flashable restore zip. This removes stock apps. Titanium Backup also can do both tasks. (Remove and restore).
The idea with this is that you create a CWM update that removes everything you want removed. You put it on your SD card and keep it there and use it when you upgrade. Perhaps that wasn't explained well enough in this post. I explain better in the original post for the SGS.
Am I only guy here who think that this UTILITY=APP need to be in "Galaxy S III Themes and Apps"

Hmm, downloading a custom rom at the moment to have a peek in what it sticks in /data/app. (one someone mentioned they were using earlier).
I haven't rooted/flashed anything custom on my Galaxy S3 yet as I only got it a week ago and I didn't want to have anything 'unofficial' for the first week or so just in case I had any issues and needed to return it.
I did just factory reset again though, and ChatON is updated by Play Store and S Suggest asks to auto update itself when it starts up. So again it might be a situation where the updates are dumping themselves into /data/app/.

What I suspected is accurate, I just tested myself. If you happen to have updated any of the stock apps (either via the Play store or an in app update) they will still remain.
However, you can go to the application manager in settings and hit the "remove updates" button. It will say uninstall failed but it will remove the apk from /data/app. Rebooting will remove the icons from the home screen.
Also, if you happen to remove a widget that is in use on the home screen (Accuweather/clock) TWLauncher will complain until you remove the 'dead' widget.
I "may" end up adding something that will remove the updates from /data/app. I'll have to think about how to do it. Until then you can use the workaround above.

Alternatively you may easily remove all the unnecessary files simply using Root Explorer (if your phone is rooted of-course) and deleting files from "/system/app/", in this case you also have the chance to backup the files before deleting. Make sure you enable r/w in Root Explorer.

"Easily" can be quite subjective, no? If you remove said files in Root Explorer you don't get the additional information included as to what each file is. Also, making backups of files from a rom you just installed seems somewhat redundant. If you want those files back, pull them out of the rom and push them to the phone? Or just don't delete them to start with.
Last time I checked Root Explorer also cost money on the Play Store and while it has features which scope well beyond this project, it's still more expensive than using this is. (free).
thanks for the chlorine man..!
Hi. At last, deodex patch appeared for our Z4 tablet too!
Download links!!!
Android 6.0
For SGP771
https://yadi.sk/d/utGkXKPIq7hmX
For SGP712
Android 5.0.2
For SGP771
https://yadi.sk/d/c3nzIj1XoqpJD
For SGP712
Add the link when someone creates it on his own
Please do a backup first!!!!!!
HOW is it created?
Use this tool
http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s5/general/tool-deodex-tool-android-l-t2972025
First you need these folders and 1 file:
root/system/app
root/system/priv-app
root/system/framework
root/system/vendor/app
root/system/build.prop
copy them to your pc folder named system
Move the content of root/system/vendor/app (the app folders) and the semgeneric folder from root/system/framework to the root/system/app or priv-app
start the deodex tool; tick the 3 folders and let it do the work
After finishing without errors , move the folders you copied from /system/vendor/app and semcgeneric back to their respective locations and you have the deodex folder which contained
app
priv-app
framework
vendor/app
create the flashable zip(replace the folder(system folder) in the the zip with yours and test it )
How to install:
-you may need this do first as patch is done when my tablet already had deodexed camera and album apps. http://forum.xda-developers.com/crossdevice-dev/sony/z4-z5-z5c-fix-camera-fc-installing-t3246962
-Flash in the recovery
-wipe cache and dalvik-cache
Bugs:
I haven't noticed them yet
What about reboots?
As long as I tested it. No random reboots being noticed. However, permanent reboots remained: after wiping dalvick cash[after "optimizing apps"](with xposed installed) and with xmod 2.1.1 for clash of clans. The tablet work as fast as before. I think reboot problem connected to the kernel. Now I think it is easier to delete unnecessary system apps with deodexed stock rom. And it's better for using some xposed tweaks.

Can you elaborate on this? I only know about random reboots and a reboot right after the 'Optimizing apps' stage with Xposed installed, after wiping Dalvik/Cache.

I faced no random reboots for the time being. Year, I meant permanent reboot goes as usual after optimizing apps.
Guys. I think I know why we still have random reboots even with deodex patch.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/xperia-z5/development/patch-deodex-patch-firmware-200-t3301572
Z5 users have the same situation with reboots(with their patch too)
Please take a look at this https://yadi.sk/d/cieOb3GXouhXwfiles it's root explorer search *.odex .
Once upon a time (today), One man told me if you want system without reboots. There should be no odex files at all. If there is at least one odex file, there could be a problem.
In the system priv app I have only one odex file called phonesky.without any apk.(After the patch of course). And what is pbonesky?, it's absent on the list of system files
And there are so many odex files in other parts of the system.
Seems we should transform all odex files, not only in the /root/system.
So please, tell me your thoughts on it.
Look forward to your response!!!
I still have random reboots too after flashing your patch. phonesky.apk is google play store

Year. The point is I have no apk in phoneshy folder, only odex file. That,s a bit strange. Do you have the same?
Edit 1 Ok. Our goal, to pull off all odex files. Now I'm thinking how. Auras advices to use SuperR kitchen with linux
yes, mine is empty too.
After reading your post, I uninstalled google play store with titanium backup. And then copied phonesky.apk to system/priv-app/phonesky and changed its permission. Then deleted the odex file and reboot. google play seems to be working fine.
Edit: I found out your patch actually doesn't have phonesky.apk.
Well. Overall, deodex remained odex files is not a problem. But someone should help us to write a new script for a flashable zip. That's a problem
I'm really sorry, it turn out that I forgot to delete my backup of the original odex system apps, that is why root explorer was finding so many odex files. After I delete my backup and Phonesky folder as it only had one odex file without apk. It found only two odex files..They belong to Google play services. How do you think maybe they are the reason of reboots with xposed?
So the patch works excellent. But two odex files from Google play services remained.
—-----------------
But take into consideration I have patched play store and some other users might have it too.If you have original play store, my patch will not affect phonesky(play store/market).
So is it better to reupload my patch with phonesky deodex patch, or user can patch it separately beforehand on his own, by lucky patcher or deodex tool?
I did a little research. Two odex files of Google play services are on absolutely any android system, even on full deodex cyanogenmod. So no need to deodex them, they are not system apps. They are not the cause of reboots.
In summary, we have 100% full deodex stock system, but the reboots after optimization aps with xposed and some others, it doesn't solve.
I hope that android 6.0 will be better

This post explains something about the chimera odex files.
dl12345 said:
An examination of the filesystem showed that com.google.android.gms (Google Play Services) installs an apk and an odex file in /data/data/com.google.android.gms/app_chimera/chimera-module-root/module-b4902ed544a9b2fc3415a9fb64fb048759fc2157. The long hashed folder name changes, as you can imagine with a name like "chimera".

Thanks for your efforts and finding out deodexing doesn't fix random reboots.
Hi everyone! It's time to talk about deodexing marshmallow.
First of all, no random reboot after optimization apps on odex system. No need to patch camera and album apps. It works stable.
What I noticed.
After installing via flashtool and recovering apps from accounts , there were 17 gb out of 22. I got twrp backup, erased internal storage, restore my backup, and as I result it freed 10 Gb.
After deodexing system, everything works well. The size of app, framework, priv-app, vendor/app becomes around 1,6 Gb. The odex one is around 3.2.
There is a little nuance, if you want patched market on deodex system, you need to do it before this patch, do dump of the system stuff of your tablet and deodex it.
And what I've noticed too, that there are much more odex files remains in the data/app folder. In the lolipup we had only two odex files remained whereas you'll find more in the marshmallow. It means as far as I understand android install apps in odex fashion from the market.
So, at first glance, the patch seems is not so necessary, but if you want to customize android, it's better to have deodexed romtoo in theory.
So, look forward to your responses

Yes more bloatware from the nook edition however the nook edition uses UX in Touchwiz to make the home screen much much nicer looking I know you have been PM'ing me im working right now on a debloater script for ya guys, trust me i hate bloatware as much as you, as for xposed no, no pre installed xposed, why because after installing xposed it takes almost 10 to 15 mins to restart into the system and once people install this i like how they can get right back into there OS, and rooted if you have TWRP installed which you need to flash this you have SuperSU and root, Unless you deny TWRP to install SuperSu.
I will continue working on the debloater for you sorry its taking sometime but there's a TON of samsung useless apps plus you have to factor in some people may want this or that and if i make a script to flash its going to remove all the bloat not a pick and choose script.

Umm you know i dont think there are any like device changing settings, if you look in your system files the apps framework and priv-app are very similar then i dont see why not however you have to know i forgot this in my first post if you brick it then you know its not my fault, cause we both know they dont belong in that phone, lol but i am kinda a dare devil hell i flashed a kernel from a completely different phone and i was still ok restoring it. I just checked out your specs im not expert i would pm a dev from another thread just to make sure you., but if you upload you files i will deodex your rom for you its takes me like 10 mins takes me longer to upload then to deodex lol
My current rom is already somewhat debloated so would I have to temporally reinstall those apps for updating?

This update.zip contains the apks and jars from system/app system/framework and system/priv-app yes it would reinstall the bloatware i had a request to make a debloater script which i can do however if i got more requests for it id make a script to remove the bloatware a lot of people dont realize bloatware is mainly the cause of drop in performance.
This is kinda embarrassing but i had a working debloater script saved on my desktop. i had to reinstall windows 10 of course lol and gone! it took sometime to make because Samsung has more crap then any other

I upgraded successfully to pie, but was getting bootloops after debloating (using same app list i use in oreo), i use titanium backup to freeze or Uninstall apps.
The bootloop was caused when Uninstalling the AVG protection app, so instead this app should be freezed if not needed.
Maybe this info help someone else doing a XZ1 debloating.
u must non-active All the Device admin, then u can start debloat with Titanium backup....
do that step when u want experiment with PIE system
i was not know this method before, i found this method when frustate why my device Bootloop 3 times every uninstall stock App... :laugh:
I got the same problem using titanuim and debloathed by simply search and delete the files using root explorer

I was debloating as well when my device decided to bootloop. What's funny is that I'd done this countless times on Oreo and never got a single bootloop. Apparently some of the apps are closely attached to the system core, that's my guess.

I don't think so ´cause if I debloat manually by deleting the files in file system it works like a charm.....but it´s of course a very timeconsuming way to do it.
I think there are some other system change with makes inconistencies in the system when titanium backup (and other) programs are used for debloat.
But of course, I have not debloated very "hard", just facebook, amazon, antivirus and some other small stuff.
Basically "debloat" means removal of app; since every ota will bring and active back removals, you should instead freeze annoying apps: Titanium or 3Ctools works fine with latest Magisk 17.3 on XZ1.
I have all these disabled without any hiccups/bootloop (including AVG):

For info, I've uploaded 2 app (light & oos) to check installed apk/statuses & trackers here https://forum.xda-developers.com/android/software-hacking/dexdump-xodus-trackers-apk-static-t3833391
(Also uploaded are magisk systemless modules https://forum.xda-developers.com/crossdevice-dev/sony-themes-apps/magiskoreo-screenrecorder-t3801150 ; they work fine on Pie exception to wip dimNightLight.)
To use systemwide audioFX on videos, you must use Sony (bloated) Album app : conversely to what said in today xdaNews/XZs, with the 2x speakers or bluetooth only, I have Eq ClearBass and ClearAudio+ working , so it looks to be a bug/hiccup for wired earphones option (?).
If you don't like classic nav, check xda LMT and thread here for full screen : https://forum.xda-developers.com/crossdevice-dev/sony/adbnoroot-hide-nav-status-bars-screen-t3780327
EDIT what really bothers me is Swiftkey : Adjust + HockeyApp + GoogleAnalytics

I upgraded successfully to pie, but was getting bootloops after debloating (using same app list i use in oreo), i use titanium backup to freeze or Uninstall apps.
The bootloop was caused when Uninstalling the AVG protection app, so instead this app should be freezed if not needed.
Maybe this info help someone else doing a XZ1 debloating.

Do you have your code somewhere on GitHub? Someone's asking for twrp for the xz1 compact in the dev section of xz1 forum.
I'd like to bounce ideas at you sometime later as well. @oF2pks

There's only one problem... It isn't part android one..
With latest 47.2.A.2.33-November Security Update and even the October one.
I've just found out that AVG Protection is the culprit that keeps breaking my phone when I forcibly remove it through titanium backup.
For now it's disabled but any attempts to delete it off the phone results in phone bootloop(at the sony logo). Every other junk app is been removed as always except for that one.
I'll dig around to see what I can find out about it's relationship to the OS.
------------------later----------
Using ES File explorer on root I was able to remove AVG antivirus without bootloop.

Yes
How come does it work with Galaxy A33 if they didn't release the source code? I heard there was no exiting ROM for this model. Regards.

How come is it "Debloated ROM"? After isntalling, I still see all the Samsungs apps, etc. that came by default. What was exactly debloated?

Why is the Batthery charge limit needed?
This OS has it's own battery limit, in "More battery settings" / "Protect Battery"
Hi man, I currently own a galaxy a13 5g SM-A136B, currently on Android 12 and i was wondering if you had any idea on how I could update it from 32bit to 64? I know the processor is compatible with 64bit
