[5.X/6.0] Flashable Bloatware / Bloat Remover

This zip will remove the apps listed bellow without breaking any Google core service
Google Now entirely functional
Most of these apps can be downloaded on Play Store
I made this .zip based on Stock ROM
I tested only on N5 with stock LMY48I I tested it on Stock Lollipop, 08/nov marshmallow and 30/10 PureNexusProject (both Marshmallow), I think it should work for almost any ROM 5.0+ but I am not responsible for any damage on your device.

I have TWRP..How to proceed with the same
Also need to get rid of exchange services.

In TWRP mount system and delete folders of apps that you want to remove in /system/app and /systen/priv-app.

Aosp messenger dont works it doesn't even show.......

Tell me the .apk name in /system/app and I can add (case sensitive)
I didn't added it first because I thought that would be better to have at least one calendar app, but "hey, anyone can download his favorite calendar app on google play later", but the ROM I'm currently using don't have google calendar, so... I need the .apk name XD

I think that may be some conflict with another messaging app, I only tested this on stock rom without any other messaging app installed, you can try install the .apk inside the .zip as a normal app

Updated
Now it also removes the files if they are on system/priv-app instead of system/app
also added google calendar (CalendarGooglePrebuilt.apk) and messenger (PrebuiltBugle.apk)

[Safe To Delete] VZW Variant Bloatware Enema

I just got my little bugger this week for pennies on the dollar. It's a VZW SCH-I435 and its locked down harder than the Hanoi HIlton. So since we don't have a bootloader unlock, a custom rom scene, or anything, here's my guide that I'm currently using of Safe to Delete bloatware totally unnecessary on this phone. Hopefully its a much welcomed post considering this variant is highly overlooked in any discussions due to its crippling system.
You are responsible for your phone and I partake no responsibility should you decide to to a royal enema on your VZW mini s4.
Keep in mind I do not use my little bugger to talk on the phone; its my daily driver of apps and games only. If your phone loses data and/or functionality of the phone you will have to reflash the stock rom with odin to get it back working. The factory reset will not magically re-install the files by itself so flashing will be the only option of reset and then doing a complete factory reset to put it back in out of the box condition, as tedious as it is. If you don't do this, you will have double apps from those that were left plus the new apps from the flash, so remember, Odin flashing and THEN factory reset (volume up and menu botton to access recovery menu). Also, your phone will have the Custom boot screen with the unlock padlock at startup. This method will NOT trip knox.:good:
Things you will need:
1. Root
2. Titanium Backup Pro
3. Super Su (Chainfire)
4. Odin
5. Stock Rom
If you have taken any OTA, you will need Odin to flash back all the way to the first KK stock rom (the one right after JB) in order to obtain root. Stock Rom and Odin are both pretty easy to get on XDA, but official stock roms are on sammobile. You will also need the drivers for the phone (get Samsung Kies installed to do so) so Odin will recognize it when you are in the phone's FB mode (hold down volume rocker and the menu button on startup). Root will NOT take if you are on the latest KK or higher. TowelRoot will work just fine on the 1st KK stock rom.
Once you have gotten the aformentioned together, install Super Su and Titanium Backup Pro. Once that is all squared away, you can get to the VZW enema. You should be able to use it functionally, as well as have full access to the playstore and wifi in general.

Add apps to updated Touchpad

I have done the install as directed. My Touchpad boots to Evervolv with a clock on an otherwise blank screen. When I swipe up I get 11 resident apps. How do I access and download additional apps like Kindle Reader or SimplyE for library books? And, I am unable to add my Gmail account via the settings app on the app page. The browser works, as does the calculator, calendar, gallery, and even the camera (upside down). Any guidance would be welcome. Thanks, Alan [email protected]

To add apps using the google store the Open Gapps must be flash in TWRP:
Select Arm platform and the version of android:
https://opengapps.org/
There are other ways to install apps:
using the aurora app store, doe snot need google services:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/...ource-play-store-client-april-8-2021.3739733/
Or directly from a web browser, apps could be downloaded to PC then copy to Tablet and install.
