Asus Zenfone 2 Z00A 2.20.40.59 Debloat Script - v3 - ZenFone 2 Android Development

Asus Zenfone 2 Z00A 2.20.40.59 Debloat Script - v3
The script removes everything that's junky, but still leaves some OK apps such as Quick Memo, etc.
This checks for presence of Z00A device, but you could edit the script and make it work on other devices ...
This should be run on latest 2.20.40.59 firmware, and it should be run from TWRP recovery.
Please have a current backup in case something goes wrong, although it really shouldn't
I've also kept the Asus update program running, so you can drop an update ZIP file on your SD card,
and it will ask to reboot to apply update, but make sure you are applying the full update and not OTA.
(you will lose Super SU and custom debloating if you apply a full update, of course)
Should work with TWRP, but once you debloat (and optionally Super SU) you can switch to stock recovery.

Thanks a lot! I ran the slightly modified extracted script in a console to debloat my rooted stock WW-2.20.40.196

Anyone tried this with Russianbear's rom?

Will this work on WW-4.21.40.184?

Can anyone make Script for UL-Z00T-WW-21.40.0.2210-user version? I would really appretiate.

Testers Needed!!!

Sorry guys. I was hoping there was a backdoor that I may have missed to get this to work. After working with a couple folks there is no way to make this a user friendly install even with the corrected partition map info. As soon as you guys get unlocked I will revisit this and I will be checking back on a regular basis.

I am looking at yet another Universal release. This time it's not a universal MotoBlur ROM but a possible Universal Ubuntop/Webtop+ release but I need testers. It is based on the latest Webtop release for the Photon (WT-1.2.0-180) and is successfully running on the Atrix, Electrify and Photon. We've been running Ubuntop/Webtop+ since September with minimal issues and I have received multiple requests to port. If successful, the advantage of this universal release is that any improvements and enhancements will carry over to all devices. ​
Prerequisites:
Unlocked
CWM Recovery (Bootstrap MAY work)
GB Blur based ROM with Webtop support (for now)
/osh be located at /dev/block/mmcblk0p13 (if osh is not located at mmcblk0p13 PM me with the correct partition location)
/osh be atleast 755.9MB
Not afraid of using terminal
Latest version of 7Zip
Ubuntop.7z - 264.3 MB (MD5- AA02B21D7A8D733621AD48B1425E95C8)
DO NOT POST RESULTS - PM ME YOUR RESULTS - IF THIS WORKS I WILL BE RELEASING TODAY​
Installing:
Make a full backup including webtop (this is key so you can revert any changes)
Extract the UbunTop.7z file (this requires you have the latest version of 7zip installed)
Copy the Ubuntop folder to internal storage (again this is a must)
From CWM recovery, flash the Univ_Ubuntop_v1.0.0.zip
Reboot and launch webtop
Follow the instructions in the "READ ME!!!" file in the Ubuntop folder
(Right now I'm looking for install success and menupatch success. If you want to install applications and report on that as well that's great.)
Haven't slept in over 24hrs and just realized I need to use Aroma Installer. Gonna get some sleep, fix and reup Universal Ubuntop. For those that know what they are doing, edit the scripts to point ot the proper partition to play with it.

Does this rom have the QE process?

Click to expand...

no i removed it
Awesome thanks
can this only be flashed to the safe partition or could you use like cwm to flash it as the main rom?
my thinking is if you temp rooted to get recovery installed, booted straight into recovery,
flashed the rom with qe removed you would not have to worry about being caught by qe.
It should be flashed to the safe system. After all, the whole idea of using a safe system is to keep the original intact in case you need to take the phone back.
can I get a live link with this?
none of the links above are
working.
I am stuck at the SIM required screen. I edited build.prop to read keyguard.no_require_sim = false and indeed i get a lock screen but when i get out of it i get the welcome.. screen and though i added ro.setupwizard.enable_bypass=1 I can't get out of the screen. Tried Droid4HD lite too, same.
I do a little mod, for this people what dont like moto_blur, icons in system now look like below
to do this you must change your Settings.apk (in system/app/ folder ) with this from link

dont forgot about promissions

[KERNEL] Insecure Kernel with DPI Mod

[KERNEL] Insecure Kernel with DPI Mod
Insecure kernel based on the GB version of the Phone. This allows modding Screen Density of the Phone to a lower DPI, starts adb as root, so you can adb remount, adb push /system /data files easily now.
Issues seen with DPI Modding:
1) The default launcher doesn't work correctly, you'll need to use another launcher.
2) The motorola keyboard is too small, use Swype or any other keyboard of your choice. (Only swype tested working correctly, but others should work correctly too)
Tell me if you find more.

Big thanks to turl1 for the boot image tools.​

All you really need is make and gcc, should be possible to do that with cygwin.
iv tryed and the tool won't build please could you send the tool as I would like to remove the link data/media
thanks
I wondered why dpi couldn't change in build.prop, now I know why
I'll definitely be trying this out when I get my RAZR i back.
Nice Work...200dpi fits quiet perfect to this Phone :good:
To make it easy 4 lazy people like me, i attach an Kernel Flasher that contains the newboot.img.
Extract the .rar
Enable USB Debugging on your Phone and connect to your PC
Start the install_kernel.bat
RelaX
Your Phone will reboot into Bootloader, flash the Kernel and reboot back into your System

(Updated)[ROOT]Official Facebook home launcher for Nexus S working!

Hi guys since the Facebook home is officially not available for our device I just used the old build.prop trick to make it work fully for my nexus S. It should work for everyone but it is not guaranteed please perform necessary backup before changing anything in system files.
Requirements -
1.Rooted Nexus S.
2.File explorer with root permissions.
3. Latest version of main Facebook app and Facebook messenger already installed.
4.Custom recovery img
I have CM10.0 stable on my phone but it should work with any ROM.Open your file manager browse with root permission - mount as writable - you will find build.prop in the system folder first make a backup of that then open build.prop in editor and edit the lines for ro.product.model/brand/device/manufacturer and in additional build properties change ro.com.google clientidbase line as screenshots below

Now download Facebook home apk and install the app.

What was deleted? talking about debloating rom... downloading to try...

UPDATE:
After 12 hours of use, it's very stable, heavily debloated without sacrificing functions, GPS works correctly, had to delete some apps that are not from my taste anymore, but it's very complete. Thanks!
