[Sony Cross-Device General] FcukBloat:
they replied me i should create a new thread and do copy and past.. so guess will restore original format only for z3c and create new one dedicated to other phones and keep them separated.. [emoji14]

no. i clearly said this in OP ;)

never seen a bootloop here after my debloat. without debloat = yes always bootloop

well my rom is flashable, so no need of flashtool for it, only recovery.

but yes to root you will need to flashtool a old fw etc etc

backup keys not needed, you won't lose them with this, but will better to do that now as in future they could come in handy ;) once you have root+recovery working, just flash my all-in-one package and you are all set. suggest a clean install to avoid any problems

yes, if you have root and recovery just flash it ;)

for close all button i use gravity box, see screenshot of that button in one of the pictures in OP ;)

possible, removed some stuff about usb connection.. btw dunno if in stock LP it is there.. if present, and if someone can post a screenshot of that option, will try to find out what package you have to restore ;)
[Sony Cross-Device General] scoobydu:
Screen shot attached, thanks.

hi-res audio via usb option, second from the bottom.
[Sony Cross-Device General] FcukBloat:
thanks but this is from KK i guess, i need to be sure that feature is there in stock LP too, this way i can start investigating... btw first apk I'd try to restore is enhancedusbux ;)

edit: tried and that package didn't do the trick. need proof about LP so can start checking :o
[Sony Cross-Device General] ogunja:
I'm crazy looking for this app from your lockscreen. What's his name? [MENTION=4695495]moly82[/MENTION]
[Sony Cross-Device General] el3akes:
close all apps

do i need to buy gravity box from store to enable close button feature ?

VpnDialog.apk faild to install any help pls
[Sony Cross-Device General] ondrejvaroscak:
There is nice mod for Z3 and Z2 available at forums. No need for Xposed or to buy anything. Looks great and works perfectly.
[Sony Cross-Device General] scoobydu:
Ok thanks for your efforts.

I need to look further then, as it my first device to get updated so far, so I am not clear if the feature is still available in LP.
[Sony Cross-Device General] jt23738:
Can you change the dpi without any bootloops?
[Sony Cross-Device General] ondrejvaroscak:
Is it possible that this setting is only available when DAC is connected?
[Sony Cross-Device General] qwsdert4:
Sorry but Exchage Service and Mail are axed from this rom? Could you please make a new flashable zip including these essential parts?
[Sony Cross-Device General] ondrejvaroscak:
Well these are not essential, at least not for vast majority of people. You can easily extract these from original ROM zip or ftf and put them into system folder with correct permissions.

It would be impossible to make so many different flashable zips as different people want different things in their zips..
[Sony Cross-Device General] :
trying your work.

Thanks for this. Ill be trying it on my D5833. I have an unlocked bootloader on .726 with androplus kernel but im still having booting problems. When i restart my phone it stops on the middle of the bootanimation and restarts again. Ill try to flash your zip and hope everything will work now, because i really want to use xposed. :good:
[Sony Cross-Device General] qwsdert4:
I see the difficulty of making many variants of the same rom. Sadly, I tried putting exchange2.apk and Semcmail.apk (from another .726 rom) into System/Priv-app with the correct permissions but ending up in bootloops.

Thanks for this brilliant light weight rom anyway.
[Sony Cross-Device General] fenchai:
I am on this .726 rom and just tried xposed. Can confirm that GravityBox and yourtube, youtube adaway app settings and secure settings works flawlessly.

What I did was set permissive and never reboot. just go and soft reboot. Not sure if this changes anything.
[Sony Cross-Device General] el3akes:
icouldnt restoresystem/priv-app/VpnDialogs to prev app always faild

any flashable.zip file would be nice
[Sony Cross-Device General] ondrejvaroscak:
You may have just identified the two apps that are actually preventing xposed from working and causing bootloops. The reason for having heavy debloated ROM is not to only be lightweight, but mainly get rid of apps that cause bootloops. So we just removed bunch of stuff and it worked. While identifying which one or two apps are causing bootloops would be lengthy nobody made the effort.
[Sony Cross-Device General] Matteo Mazzu:
[MENTION=4695495]moly82[/MENTION] I see you're Italian like me, so can I be live the rom, even if USA will work fine with the operator here in Italy? (I have TIM).. for the rest I belie e I've just found what I was finally looking for on lollipop!! Thanks! :D
[Sony Cross-Device General] boojay:
If you two follow the steps outlined here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=58480009 on how to restore removed apps, you should be able reflash the missing apps you want.

You'll find the apps you want in either the removed apps zip or the debloated zip provided by Serajr.
[Sony Cross-Device General] FcukBloat:
that's gravity box module my friend! grab it for free in the forum! ;)

http://xdaforums.com/xposed/modules/app-gravitybox-v5-0-0alpha-tweak-box-t3037566

see above, gravity box is also available in free version with all important features included! ;)

I got permission from [MENTION=3989065]serajr[/MENTION] to link jus restoring zip in OP, so i'll update OP asap with it and apos restoring in system will be much easier, please wait a couple of hours for that! :o

EDIT: done see OP for restoring script!

good! if you guys don't need gravity box for other things you can then use this module much easier :o

just full backup your present status. then flash any pre rooted stock fw and check for that option. if it is there make a screen. then just restore your backup to go back to previous status ;)

don't know, but i don't think you'll get bootloops, but maybe compatibility problems with play store? try and report back thanks! make full backup first ;)

see above, updated OP with restoring app zip so it will be much easier for everyone from now on:o

exactly!

flash it with clean install and i guarantee everything will work ;)

you may just found out something you need has been removed, but you can then restore it yourself so not a big deal ;)

EDIT: I see you have D5833, while the base FW I used is for D5803. Please report if it works for you (basebands etc). BTW, if not, just flash a proper pre-rooted FW for your model, and then apply my debloating script before rebooting ;) it will be the same as flashing my zip, except that you will have to flash also xposed flashable alpha2 apart ;)

yes so you either set wrong permissions or found out problematic apps that give bootloop! will make a flashable zip in a couple of hours for those two apps and check here if i end in bootloop too or not and report back! ;)

EDIT: created restoring zip for SemcEmail and Exchange2 and everything is working fine here, so you probably messed up with permissions ;) what a pity those packages are not the reason of bootloops :(

as I did flashable zip for them already, you can find it here if you want ;)

i use gravity box, youtube adaway, YouTube background without any problems ;) can't confirm for other modules but if they are lollipop compatible don't see why they shouldn't work

see OP!

exactly no problems here with same carrier ;) but i don't use 4g, if you do, please try it and see if it works fine. if not, not a big problem, just flash a European pre rooted fw then apply my debloting script you will end with same result ;)
[Sony Cross-Device General] Matteo Mazzu:
[MENTION=4695495]moly82[/MENTION] I have Tim Young, so no 4G sorry XD Last question! I'm still on firmware. 77 with root and recovery.. If I wanna try this firmware which are the correct step? I don't believe just flashing your zip file will be enough for me ahah XD thanks again :)
[Sony Cross-Device General] FcukBloat:
I wonder if that is because I removed velvet (google search), even if it would be strange...

I see [MENTION=6351145]ondrejvaroscak[/MENTION] is using it, what about you, you still have it installed?
[Sony Cross-Device General] FcukBloat:
why not? ;) see OP. if you have recovery working, you can just full backup, full wipe and then flash my zip (it is a complete lollipop FW! with kernel, basebands etc etc ;) )

let me know mate! :o
[Sony Cross-Device General] hispanico957:
...moly82 :cowboy: ... some questions regarding your work/mod

My intention is create a FW 5.02 that can work with exposed and playstore, but non debloated, or if debloated at minimum

If i start from LolliPop 5.02 already rooted, R/W and dualrecovery active, I could use your debloating script modified, where for example i debloat only 5 app, you think that in this way the "new" firmware deodex can be compatible with xposed and playstore ? In short, getting the same result of your firmware but not debloated...

Other question: i see that now in OP you posted file of serajr for install removed apps. I know very well the procedure because i made a MOD .690 using this.

So you say to use it for install sytem/app and system/priv-app, but for the others apps removed

system/etc/customization

system/etc/product

if i want include also in restoring script, it's sufficient drag&drop into file ?

Thank

Hispa
[Sony Cross-Device General] Matteo Mazzu:
Like I didn't said nothing ahah! Perfect! When I get back from University I'll try it!! :good:

(I've read the OP, but I believed it was obvious having to be on this firmware firstly, but at this point never mind, great news you gave me ahah)
[Sony Cross-Device General] FcukBloat:
yes if for you my debloat is too big, you can flash a pre-rooted fw, and then flash a modified version of my script (with removed all the lines for the apps you want to keep)

problem is, nobody figured out yet what is/are the exact package(s) that create bootloops, so doing this way, if you debloat just a few apps, very probably you will end in bootloops! ;) but try and report, maybe you are lucky and the apps you will keep are exactly the apps that generate bootloops :p

playstore will always work btw, no matter what apps you delete or keep ;) play store problem is generated by deodexing procedure ;)

no! see OP. that script is only for system/app and system/priv-app folders.

instead, for all APKs present in /system/etc/customization/applications and system/etc/content/applications, as they are regular APKs that are installed in /data. you can install just click on them and then selecting "install" ;) like a normal APK so you will then see them in Settings > applications > downloaded ;)
[Sony Cross-Device General] hispanico957:
... ahah it's a lottery :D Have you some idea or advise which apps can be responsable of bootloop with exposed ?

Thank again

Hispa
[Sony Cross-Device General] kaiowas82:
Bootloop with androplus kernel? Intanto grazie ;)
[Sony Cross-Device General] el3akes:
thanks alot for your reply and for the rom for sure
[Sony Cross-Device General] FcukBloat:
no idea. when installed LP, I immediately debloated fully as I normally do with stock sony roms, and ended with stable situation. Considering I removed all things I don't use, there is no point for me to make other tests/attempts and spend other much time in understanding what packages are the source of bootloops, as I will never use the apps I removed, sorry ;)

don't know about custom kernel sorry, so far in Z3C I have always used stock one and everything is good. But if the kernel you mentioned is intended to work in stock rom, it should work fine I guess.... unless it will mess up things like SElinux or similar? I can just suggest you full backup and then try installing the custom kernel and see ;) in case of problems just restore the backup!
[Sony Cross-Device General] neol23:
Hello-

The rom works great. The battery life seems to be... AWESOME!!! :)

I only need to restore small apps, stock weather widget, stock clock widgets and stock camera widgets. Could someone help me and advice which exactly folders I should restore (from the backup posted in OP). Would be very thankfull. :)

p.s. I also use stock mail app as i like it better than Gmail, but if it's causes a bootloop... Nah, I guess I will have to use Gmail after all.

Still, GREAT WORK, GREAT DEBLOAT, AWESOME! SU and Xposed are working without any problems.
[Sony Cross-Device General] michyprima:
it isn't true you cannot reduce the zip size.

zero-fill the free space, it will compress much better after.
[Sony Cross-Device General] FcukBloat:
thanks for the report my friend! glad you like it ;)

email and exchange2 are not giving bootloops here, se my long post above with many replies. you will find also a restore flashable zip for them (email + exchange2), as I tried it here hoping it was the cause of bootloops but it is not ;) if you don't need exchange, prepare you own restore zip with only email plus some suggestions below for the apps you asked ;)

stock weather widget > /system/app/WeatherWidget-release

stock camera widgets > /system/app/SomcCameraWidget

stock clock widgets > /system/app/ClockWidgets-release

small apps >

/system/app/SmallApp-Timer

/system/app/SmallAppManagerService

/system/app/SmallAppsFramework

/system/app/SmallAppsLauncher

/system/app/SmallAppWidget

and

/system/etc/product/applications/smallbrowser (for this, just run the APK installation, don't use restoring zip ;)

btw guys, the names of some apps I removed are self-explanatory, so please make a small effort and look at the list first to see if you find what you need, and just in case you still have doubts or get problems ask here for clearing out things ;)

also, remember that restoring apps you can get bootloops ;)

finally, people using my script/custom FW + xposed, if you restore any apps please contribute and write here what you restored and if you got bootloops, this way maybe sooner or later we will find out what apps are generating bootloops ;) :o
[Sony Cross-Device General] FcukBloat:
I am not trying to reduce the zip, but the system.ext4 file inside a zip.

so I am not compressing and decompressing actually, I am afraid I could break something this way (zipalign, signature etc) so I just modify the zip file on the fly with 7zip ;)

but if there will be a next version, I will maybe try also your suggestion, and see what happens thanks ;)

View attachment 3261255

a bit off-topic but what do you use to show those icons on your above lockscreen?

I used to use acdisplay but its a bit annoying because the stock lollipop lockscreen is right behind it and the stock one isn't as nice as it shows "more" and "bigger" than these pretty icons I can see on your screen above.
[Sony Cross-Device General] FcukBloat:
gravity box > lockscreen shortcuts ;)
[Sony Cross-Device General] xios666:
GREAT ! it works flawlessly ! thx good job !

[EDIT] : quick access does not work with GravityBox , is this normal ?
[Sony Cross-Device General] ovizii:
[MENTION=4695495]moly82[/MENTION]:

- I noticed you removed: Xperia with FB and Xperia with Twitter but Xperia with Flickr is still present and not debloated.

- To be able to sync my FB calendar do you think FBCalendarSync is all that I need?

- Do you have any experience with Viper4Android? I followed a few how-tos in this forum but it doesn't seem to work so I was wondering if you had removed anything that could prevent Lollipop from picking it up? I can't find anything audio or sound related in your list of removed stuff.

- Did you remove anything related to priority notifications or was that me fiddling with exposed?

Thanks for taking the time to make this zip!
[Sony Cross-Device General] FcukBloat:
do you mean quick tiles? if so, yes it is normal, as they are not pure AOSP but modded by sony, so gravity box (that is compatible only with AOSP roms in theory) can't interact with quick settings ;)

1. I know.. you see that in "add account" right? i have been looking around a lot but no way couldn't find the package for that! if you tell me which one it is, I would really appreciate! ;)

2. never used FB sorry. but I think so ;) did you try without it first to see if it works nevertheless? maybe installing FB from play store will add all you need for sync also?

3. never used V4A either. but shouldn't have removed important stuff for audio.. sure it works with stock (untouched) LP fw? did you try?

4. shouldn't have removed anything about notifications..
[Sony Cross-Device General] xios666:
Yes, it is quick tiles, ok ok. You know if another module is compatible for Sony please ?

anyway good work :)
[Sony Cross-Device General] FcukBloat:
for quick tiles or sony in general?

about quick tiles, only hope is [MENTION=3989065]serajr[/MENTION] that should release a module for lollipop sooner or later ;)

For quick tiles ;) thx for the link !!!! :)
[Sony Cross-Device General] ovizii:
1. yes, exactly but I don't have any hint for this :(

2. Will try but I think the calendar sync is tied to creating an account with Xperia with FB...

3. Got it working with this thread here: http://xdaforums.com/moto-g/themes-apps/material-t3016037

4. that was gravity box messing up :( - any alternative for it for xperias??? Most of its functions are broken anyway on xperia
[Sony Cross-Device General] Matteo Mazzu:
[MENTION=4695495]moly82[/MENTION] There isn't the recent button and the close all button inside the recent XD how can I've them back? (and just have the close button like in the images?) for the rest everything going great! ;)
[Sony Cross-Device General] FcukBloat:
2. ok so you may need also /system/priv-app/SEMCFacebookProxy and /system/priv-app/SocialEngineFacebookPlugin but try them just in case sync plugin only won't be enough ;)

4. all the things I needed are in GB a part from quick tiles mods that hopelly will come with module by serajr so didn't really look around sorry.... :cyclops:
[Sony Cross-Device General] FcukBloat:
no recent button is because of xposed > nav bar mods: if you enable them, you will lose recent button, if you disable them, you will get it again ;( that's a known compatibility problem with xposed and because navbar is not pure AOSP but changed someway by sony ;)

close all button is missing in stock FW by sony. you can either add it with GB (modifiche varie > pulisci tutte le attivita' recenti) or with a mod found somewhere in the forum as per this: http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=60093121&postcount=129

Any advice? Thanks in advance.
[Sony Cross-Device General] boojay:
I do have Google search installed, but I'm pretty sure I didn't reflash it, must have been a manual install from the Play Store. I managed to get another small app (media player) working now in addition to the small calculator, however, I kept the Small Apps panel/launcher removed and just reflashed Small Apps manager, widget, and framework. I like how pretty the recents panel is without the Small Apps bar ^_^ so thanks for showing me the light!

what kind of account? gmail, work etc?

according to that, you may want to try restoring gmail-reader-service, exchange2, EnterpriseService, AndroidForWork... just the first apps that come in mind :o

yes agree I couldn't stand that ugly small apps bar and goggle search bar there..! [emoji14]

no sorry, never used greenify module so far, don't have paid version ;)

it was NUT's dual recovery, 2.8.7 of I remember right, it is included in my zip

strange I can uninstall ES regularly from settings > apps... maybe you messed up something? Google app you mean Google search? if so it is a system app so you'll need to manually delete it from /system with root file manager (velvet.apk)

and do you mean internal sdcard or external one?

btw if an update will come from my side, will remove Velvet again, as now the error "can't load widget" is not appearing anymore in recents bar, and chrome, as at last I found a great aosp browser working with LP!! http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2967740

wow now that i removed Google search and chrome again I feel much better!! :victory: :D
[Sony Cross-Device General] ondrejvaroscak:
Please note that any updated apps also for system apps are in /data/app so just deleting apk from /system doesn't remove the app
