[Guide] - Updated 7/22: 3VO Clean Up - Remove *ALL* bloatware and Adblocking! V2.0

[scrosler]

Updated: 7/22/2011 - I updated the script to include the removal of more bloatware. As well I coupled it with the updated root scripts. I also added Ad-Blocking host file to the root script.

Free RAM comparison
Fresh boot of a completely stock ROM: 371 Megabytes free
Fresh boot of a Cleaned stock ROM using this script: 441 Megabytes Free (save 70 megs running the script!)




Ok, I wrote a quick bat file to scrub some of the crapware from the device. It doesnt actually remove the programs, thats simply not possible yet but does remove the entries in the app draw making for an almost Custom ROM appearance ;c)

This will remove the following junk from the app drawer:

Amazo MP3
HTC Appsharing
Blockbuster
Android Debugtool
Ereader
Greenhornet
Nascar
Picasa
Spiderman
HTC Mobile Guide
Sprint TV
Sprint Wallet
Sprint Nav
Sprint Radio
------------------
The following files are now disabled in ver 2.0
HTC Likes
Media Share
Polaris office
Qik Video
Watch
HTC Look up
HTC Transfer
Dock Mode
Car Panel

These Items will NOT reappear on a reboot of device. This is a reversable change if you choose to, see post 2.

Prerequisites:
You need to have HTC Sync Drivers installed The drviers can be found here: http://forum.ppcgeeks.com/attachment...22_release.zip
You need to be temp rooted (Dont worry if your not, I have the root-er included in the download!!)
You need to have USB cable connected with USB Debugging on.

Step 1 - Download the attached Clean My 3VO 2.0 ZIP file and extract it to desktop (or wherever)

Step 2 - Run "Run_ME_Fr3vo_ROOT.bat" file. This will give you the temp root you need. Remember this is temp root. It will go bye-bye after reboot of device.

Step 3 - Run "Clean My 3VO 2.0.bat" file. This will clean the menu items noted above and then reboot the phone. These will not return on reboot of device ;c)

Step 4 (Optional)- Re-run the "Run_ME_Fr3vo_ROOT.bat" after the phone reboots and it will re-root phone and apply an ad-blocking hosts file ;c)

Thanks goes to agrabren of #TeamWin for the temp root
Thanks goes to eugene373 of XDA for the fre3vo.bat file for easy temp root
