hi!

trying again this part and again i trimmed down system.ext4

after deleting stuff from it, actually i found the hidden .Trash folder as you said. so now i removed it completely with rm -rf command.

but size remains the same also after removing the trash! (still 2.7gb)

how can it be? are you sure you can reduce size of system.ext4 just emptying trash? did you try?

i feel like i said earlier it seems a box/container not so easy to reduce its it's size.. maybe there is a command to compress the empty space remained inside it?

thanks in advance! ;)

edit: confirmed what i expected, system.ext4 won't be reduced no matter how much stuff you remove from it, it is like a "box" ;)

[Xperia Z3 Compact Android Development] serajr:
I think so buddy!

It's no clear, at least for me, that the "debloat" fixes xposed issues!

Just create a full nandroid backuop before you flash xposed arm, and tell us later... ;)

Use adb in a command prompt:

adb install apkname.apk
[Xperia Z3 Compact Android Development] serajr:
Bro... All I've done is described under Install Instruction, and everything went fine!!

Basically:

- recovery > data/factory reset > pre-rooted fw

- recovery > debloat zip

- updated remaining apps with play store

- recovery > full nandroid backup > xposed arm

- xposed app

From .690 you must firstly to flash your pre-rooted fw!!!

Please, follow the steps exactly as described here and you will get success!
[Xperia Z3 Compact Android Development] hispanico957:
I did so !

My steps:

- Created pre-rooted 23.1.A.0.726 firmware with latest SuperSU and Dual recovery (2.8.3)

- Flashed it on recovery over old lollipop (23.1.A.0.690) firmware and turned device off

- Flashed 23.1.A.0.726 ftf with FlashTool excluding system (optional? I prefer to do it) ....i not select wipe

- Booted device up till home screen .......i verified and i have all apps that i have previous installed and play store

- Applied byselinux to get back working recovery again

- Applied lowtraxx's RicDefeat to get back mountable system as r/w again

- Flashed OP´s debloat zip on recovery, than cleared Cache and Dalvik

- Booted device up till home screen

- No Play Store and the apps ??????????

...Remember that i come from your .690 deodex

Hispa
[Xperia Z3 Compact Android Development] ondrejvaroscak:
Thanks to [MENTION=2034400]luminoso[/MENTION] it may be that selinux blocks it. Module loads but doesn't work.
[Xperia Z3 Compact Android Development] serajr:
Really?!!

I'm gonna try to implement something like that on upcoming Xperia Xpose (LP) module!
[Xperia Z3 Compact Android Development] serajr:
Try to install it manually, here throught adb:
[Xperia Z3 Compact Android Development] serajr:
Maybe we have regional problems with our Play Store.
[Xperia Z3 Compact Android Development] ondrejvaroscak:
Can confirm that Xposed module 20MP SuperiorAuto does NOT work with Xzdualrecovery 2.8.7. You must use 2.8.3 and byeselinux as selinux policy enforcement is causing module not working.

NUT fixed it today with 2.8.9 recovery version, that allows selinux permissive mode booting, that allows xposed to work normally again
[Xperia Z3 Compact Android Development] ondrejvaroscak:
Cool, he is a big magician ;) anyway I would like to remind especially those who are new to XPERIA, LP and stuff, the Xposed for LP is considered by its developer EARLY ALPHA. So it's highly experimental, unstable and you can't expect everything working. So please stop crying about non working stuff and try to be supportive instead by providing exact infos, logs and relevant stuff.
[Xperia Z3 Compact Android Development] Amr Nasser:
Important

So Now i flash NUT Recovery then xposed arm >> no bootloops ??
[Xperia Z3 Compact Android Development] Masoud.Ser:
now i tested with NUT recovery 2.8.9 but after select mod in xposed i have bootloops:(
[Xperia Z3 Compact Android Development] luminoso:
Please read and understand what we are talking about. You're mixing everything.

NUT recovery allows to set selinux to permissive mode (you need to change XZDR.prop file, dr.keep.byeselinux=true), which allows to xposed modules to run.

Bootloops when installing xposed are not related with NUT.

hi, i am on 690 pre-rooted rom and i have dual recovery 2.8.3. can i flash your rom ?
[Xperia Z3 Compact Android Development] ondrejvaroscak:
The point is to allow people to choose whether they want to keep selinux permissive in order to run Xposed or enforcing for people who don't need Xposed.

---------- Post added at 07:31 ---------- Previous post was at 07:30 ----------

As long as you have selinux turned off and so on, see OP.

Acho que da certo, mas vc precisa colocar a app da tv digital na pasta /app do zip antes de instalar, eu não sei o qual é! Mas funciona!!!

Debloated but not deodexed

So there is nothing about deodexing in the title, here is my steps, without using serajr's marvellous flashable zip.

I was on rooted 23.1.A.0.726 (D5803 with customization for my country) with working recovery ([NUT]'s XZDualRecovery 2.8.11 with dr.keep.byeselinux=true in XZDR.prop, but I do think 2.8.10 will do the job too) and system r/w mountable. There is plenty of information in here how to get to this starting point.

All apps are up to date from the Play Store, especially all the Google's and Sony's apps that you consider to keep using.

Then manual debloating. What that means - I just removed all the apps from OP's list and few more (like themes and other minor stuff) manually.

Then reboot. Optionally, but I did it just to clarify if I didn't remove too much and system is up and running fine.

Then everything goes just like in serajr's instruction from here:

At the last step I was using GravityBox as indicator if Xposed is working as expected.

So at this point everything is fine - firmware is debloated, rooted, with working recovery, system is r/w mountable, working Xposed without bootloops (I have installed few more modules and the state remains fully stable).

Why I did that, because I have problems with Play Store ( "incompatible" apps) and bootloops using Xposed after trying OP's instructions. I don't know what exactly caused this behaviour. Maybe it is customization of OP's original files, or deodexing, or some Google's/Sony's apps that I wanted to keep using, or my karma :p

Hope it helps someone.

And as always all hail to serajr for his hard work and sharing with us!

I flashed the debloated rom and, do not have do Factory reset, just wipe cache and dalvid cache only, after boot, they're a stange result. All the user applications are missing and most applications like Playstore, the Walkman, ans many others are missing and the system seems unstable. It's not a big deal because I do a backup, but do you have an idea of the problem ? Did I do something wrong?
