Root CM7 Reloaded AppRemover.zip

This is just a little zip I made to get rid of apps I don't want after updates. Just thought I'd share it. Install your update as instructed in first post of Whyzor's CM7 thread. Then after fist boot and Initial setup reboot into recovery make a backup wipe cache and install zip.

Use at own risk it may get rid of apps you use.

Very nice...thanks for creating this. It takes a while for me to delete those apps in terminal emulator so appreciate you creating this zip. I also delete the bootanimation as well. I was curious if there was away to edit this so that i can include the bootanimation and keep the file manager and thememanager?

It's pretty simple to edit. Open up the .zip and go to
META-INF\com\google\android then drag the updater-script to your desktop leave the .zip open. Open the updater-script with notepad delete the entire line for the app you want to keep.
Example
"/system/app/ThemeManager.apk",
Close notepad saving changes then drag your new updater-script into the .zip file.
As for the bootanimation I think you can just add this line to the updater-script
"/system/media/bootanimation.zip",
Put it at the beginning just after where it says
ui_print("Deleting Apps...");
delete(

To rename my Backups. If you rename it from a file manager it changes the hash and won't let you restore it from CWM.

You can rename them in a file manager, just can't have spaces. That's how I do it.

How do you do this? I didn't think the Triumph could install CWM through ROM Manager? That is the only way that I can tell to manage the backup files. TIA.
You have to install CWM manually, you can then use some of the ROM Manager functions (you do have to set it up first).

I modified the script to separate GApps from the apps that are constantly being added or removed from different ROMs. It's faster for me to edit since I don't have to remember which apps are GApps and which are ROM apps.

Code:
ui_print("AppRemover");
ui_print(" For CM7");
ui_print("Mounting system...");
run_program("/sbin/busybox", "mount", "/system");
show_progress(1, 15);
ui_print("Deleting GApps...");
delete("/system/app/CarHomeGoogle.apk",
"/system/app/GenieWidget.apk",
"/system/app/GoogleFeedback.apk",
"/system/app/GoogleQuickSearchBox.apk",
"/system/app/LatinImeTutorial.apk",
"/system/app/OneTimeInitializer.apk",
"/system/app/SetupWizard.apk",
"/system/app/Talk.apk");
ui_print("Deleting Apps...");
delete("/system/app/Androidian.apk",
"/system/app/Cyanbread.apk",
"/system/app/Email.apk",
 "/system/app/FileManager.apk", 
"/system/app/LiveWallpapers.apk",
"/system/app/LiveWallpapersPicker.apk",
"/system/app/MagicSmokeWallpapers.apk",
"/system/app/Pacman.apk",
"/system/app/PicoTts.apk",
"/system/app/QuickSearchBox.apk",
"/system/app/Term.apk",
"/system/app/ThemeChooser.apk",
"/system/app/ThemeManager.apk",
"/system/app/VisualizationWallpapers.apk");
ui_print("Unmounting system...");
run_program("/sbin/busybox", "umount", "/system");
ui_print("Removal complete!");
