[Xposed General] KevinX8:
The only devices that require an unlocked bootloader are HTC's since they have S-ON which prevents writes to the system permanently until it is switched off. This would make xposed impossible to install as once it is installed a reboot is required but the reboot would clear all changes to system.
[Xposed General] Portgas D. Ace:
What about systemless Xposed? Does it also require an unlocked bootloader?
[Xposed General] KevinX8:
Yep, can't flash custom kernels on a locked bootloader which systemless xposed Counts as. If you can flash custom kernels you can switch to S-OFF since its at kernel level anyway... If you can manage to install and boot a recovery somehow without unlocking the bootloader that would work too since S-ON only works while it's booted to system

[AT&T LG G2] hellojojo:
noob w/rooted & unlocked d800 stuck on 4.2.2 (JDQ39b) need help flashing custom rom!

hey guys so ive had my lg g2 since Feb 2015, bought it ATT and unlocked and using it on cricket. so i rooted it soon after getting and tried flashing a rom and i cant remember what i did wrong but in between flashing a kernel and rom i briked my phone. i had used goomanager to flash twrp 2,6,3 i believe and then that to flash a rom. needless to say i wanted to go from 4.2 to the newest possible rom with no bloatware and very slim with good battery, undervoltage and overckock etc. after weeks having the lg dead and of using a different phone i spent some time trying to figure it out, and used the LG tool to flash the lg back.

now after doing this my phone was back to 4.2 and worked fine except i havent had data or mms working and the battery life is really bad. phone has been like this for a very long time. been so busy that havent had the luxury to experiment snd risk bricking again as i need to at least make calls and text. but i am SICK od paying for data and not having it. please dont tell me to search threads uve spent months before doing that and did all kinds of flashing to no avail. i need help in step by step to get twrp back working, to get the right kernel, to get the newest android version that is STABLE/long lasting battery and perhaps most importantly to have data back.

thanks in advance guys:rolleyes:

current version: 4.2.2

Friend of mine promised me to unlock my P8, unfortunatelly after this I have lost possibllity to manually set network change roaming setting or redirect conections. This is hudge problem for me.

I have talked to him - he said this is just to get text message with network settings from provider but if fact even after I got it nothin changed. When I tap on "mobile network" phone do not make any reaction.

Tryied to make factory reset but it won't work.

He gave me all sofware he used and looks like he got unloker recomennded to P8-Lite not for P8.

I'm quite desperate.

I am not the creator of this mod. This mod was only possible due to hard work by other developers porting Walkman to other Android devices, maker of Viper4Android and Dolby Digital. All these apps were just assembled in one ZIP file, made flashable and compatible with EMUI 3.1 5.1.1.
[Xperia Z4 Tablet General] jelbo:
The stock ROMs are shipped with a huge amount of bloatware, from which I see many processes active when opening a task manager. Let's freeze/disable or uninstall crap we don't need :cowboy: You can disable many apps without root from Android's app manager, but you'll need root for many of them. Root is mandatory to uninstall system apps.

You can use this spreadsheet (of moly82) on the

new tab named jelbo

. I'm collaborating with moly82's generic Xperia Lollipop debloating script. Turns out the Z4 Tablet does have quite some things moved around / added / removed, so it's definitely good to have added support for it. New sheet contains both generic Xperia stuff and Z4 Tablet specific apps. The jelbo tab contains both my findings and the ones from moly82.

In the spreadsheet is a list of all the pre-installed unneeded system apps either I or moly82 has 'frozen' or disabled, without any problems. I've marked some yellow because you might need the functionality, for example DLNA or native Exchange support. It's not finished yet, but you can go ahead and use it as a base of your decisions to freeze/uninstall stuff.

You can debloat manually with apps like Titanium Backup. Here's a procedure to make a label, associate apps to it and batch freeze or uninstall them.

Get Titanium Backup and start it. You probably need Pro.

Go to the tab named Backup/Restore.

Tap 'Click to edit filters' in the top right.

Tap 'Clear' in the top right.

Tap 'Create label ...' in the bottom right.

Type a name, give a color (optional) and tap 'Add/Remove elements ...'

Check the boxes of apps you wish to free or uninstall (based on the spreadsheet for example).

Tap the green checkmark on the top right.

Tap 'Save'.

Back in th Filters section, make sure no filter is active (tap 'Clear'), select the newly created label (check the box) and tap the green checkmark.

Titanium Backup will display a list of the apps you've labeled.

Tap the 'file and checkmark' icon top right to get to the 'Batch actions' screen.

Scroll to 'Freeze / Defrost' and tap the RUN button next to 'Freeze all user & system apps (USE FILTERS & EXTREME CAUTION)'.

Profit.

For anyone wanting to collaborate, send me a PM with your e-mail address and I'll give you edit-rights.

Eventually, when this thing is 'done' I plan to either expand moly82's script or at least share my Titanium Backup 'custom' database with the labeled categories, for easy batch actions.
[Xperia Z4 Tablet General] scoobydu:
Thanks :)

Have you tried this one [MENTION=1847079]jelbo[/MENTION]? I use it for my Z3 compact and Z3 compact tab and it works well. It can be tweaked to leave some items in too.

http://xdaforums.com/crossdevice-dev/sony/wip-debloat-lp-690-correct-functioning-t3076161

Edit: I see you have already found the script and this is an alternative from what I can understand :) How is TB these days, haven't used it for a while, even though I have a pro key.
[Xperia Z4 Tablet General] jelbo:
Yeah, I thought of that script a bit late. I'll have a look at the linked Google Sheet to get more insight in the Sony apps. I figure the Z4 Tablet is a bit of a different beast that might need a different set of safely frozen system apps so my sheet isn't a big waste of time. Took me a few hours though...

TB is as tedious and gruesome as ever, but it's sadly still the only app in it's kind. Wish the dev would add some much needed features and overhaul the GUI.
[Xperia Z4 Tablet General] scoobydu:
Its looks as though it took some time, so thanks and not wasted. I was hoping there was a way of selecting the key sony features from the script rather than doing it manually, or have config files to load into an app to remove the files selcted in the config files, but never found the time to investigate further.

Yeh, those are the reasons I haven't used it for some time and its a shame as its powerful but not intuitive for me when using it.

I thought the other script actually delted rather than being frozen, but I do recall it recreates a backup folder for the files in case you want to put them back later.

Believe you can delete the backups once you are happy that the changes you made are working.
[Xperia Z4 Tablet General] jelbo:
Yes, moly82's script moves files to a backup location, making them non-functional but easily restoreable.

I'm not sure still what freezing effectively does, because I once saw some frozen apps in my task manager (OS Monitor). Better to uninstall/move when sure.
[Xperia Z4 Tablet General] ml11ML:
Nice!

I personally used the System app remover from playstore and just deleted all the useless stuff and then did a factory reset to get rid of all the *app not found* icons and flashed the smallest package from opengapps but when i reflash the stock FW in the future im sure going to give this a go :)
[Xperia Z4 Tablet General] scoobydu:
Prefer to fully remove once I know I don't need and have no fc's

Some slight suspect reviews about this app on the play store.

A similar thing can be done with Sdmaid, which is my go to app for for everyday cleaning and more specific app removal.

Been using it a while and it works well, as an option.
[Xperia Z4 Tablet General] ml11ML:
Hmmmm... never really looked at the reviews but now that i did i see some ppl complaining about fullscreen ads which there are but not nearly as bad to not allow it to do its job. And the Sdmaid seems to be a nice option, might try it, thanks for suggesting it
[Xperia Z4 Tablet General] scoobydu:
Think I'll stick with sdmaid but thx for the suggestion.

Take a look at the sdmaid v4 beta apk available from the devs website.

Looks great and seems to work the same.

Pity v4 sdmaid can't take your file as input Jelbo to remove a batch of files.
[Xperia Z4 Tablet General] FcukBloat:
don't understand the need of making another script/list when there is mine and you saw it more then 10 days ago when you posted in my thread in general Xperia section (that can be contributed and kept updated by anyone) that works for all xperias oob or can be adapted very easily but no problem of course thats your choice.

my list is 100% safe though, me and other hundred people running lp on different xperias use(s/d) it without problems (just some features may be missing after applying my script of course but anything can be restored easily) and btw all xperias have almost identical apks just the names may be a little different somewhere that's all..

Never used tb but for sure it is completely different from my approach of completely moving away/deleting stuff, a freeze should be just based on pm unix command or similar that doesn't really touch anything, just disables stuff

cheers
[Xperia Z4 Tablet General] jelbo:
I had a quick look at your script back then and saw some differences in apps that I didn't see on my device, that made me think the Z4 Tablet needed it's own approach I guess. Looking back I realise it's pretty much identical and it would have been better with just starting with your work. Ah well. Maybe we can merge our findings somehow? If a file isn't found on the Z4 Tablet it'll just be skipped. I'll PM you my e-mail address so you can add me as a contributor to your sheet. I think it's a good idea to discuss about a good format for both devices beforehand so I won't mess things up.
[Xperia Z4 Tablet General] FcukBloat:
No problem mate, saw the PM and I've just given you the write access feel free to edit it or make your own as you wish and yes if a package is not found it'll just be skipped so not a problem at all :o

In my list a few apks i found about recently are missing will update it as soon as i have some spare time available..

Bye!
[Xperia Z4 Tablet General] jelbo:
Hi moly82, I'm done with merging my data in your sheet. It's in the 2nd tab named jelbo. What a job, it took me half a day :eek:

I've kept your split view (with the grey row) and ordering by path.

I've added missing paths, paths including .apk file and 'friendly names'

█ I've marked entries which I found on the Z4 Tablet, but not on your list as Cyan (left column)

█ I've marked entries which were on your list, but not on the Z4 Tablet as Yellow (left column)

█ I've marked the background of the Friendly Name of entries which were found safe to debloat/feeze/move by either you or me Green

█ I've marked the background and the text of the Friendly Name of entries which I think are surely not safe to debloat/feeze/move Red

█ I've marked the background of the Friendly Name of entries which I think are probably not safe to debloat/feeze/move Pink

█ I've marked the background of the Friendly Name of entries which are probably safe to debloat/feeze/move, but which most people want to keep due to connected basic functionality (phone, camera) as Yellow

On to what can be done:

Your 'Added in LP5.1' entries are moved in between existing entries, while maintaning your Orange color. I guess they can be debloated and made Green?

If it is meaningful, can you add the missing info on the stuff you've come across on other Xperia devices?

Can you have a look at 'unclassified' entries and share your thoughts in the comment field on how safe you think they are to debloat?

Can you update your script with my findings? I'm still testing some 'unclassified' entries to see if it works fine or not.
[Xperia Z4 Tablet General] FcukBloat:
hi mate, what a good job you did congrats! :)

honestly I won't have so much spare time available from now on, big changes in my life expected, so can't assure will be able to watch this in the future, if you want to handover and become a debloating guru it would be great :laugh:

I have added at the bottom of my tab some packages I did not include in the script I shared at the beginning, but I added in my local copy, so you can see info about those apks also, it could be helpful ;)

what you mean with unclassified entries exactly? there are too many categories, colours, empty spaces etc not so clear for me :p

if you want to make a global script, please proceed, no problem for me! don't know if you did look at the script I made already, but if not, I am sure you will understand very easily how I prepared it just working on the com/google/android/updater-script file, so you can use it as base and then add/remove any apps you want from there, or make your own script or whatever, as you wish.

I will keep monitoring the file and your tab also though, hoping to see some new findings I didn't know about, as I'm sure there are still some packages that could be removed but I didn't try myself yet...

let me know!
[Xperia Z4 Tablet General] jelbo:
I might take over the list and script, thanks. I'll do some more testing and will attempt to adjust the script.

Mods, if things work out and I and moly82 agree, would it be possible to make me co-author of moly82's OP or something?
[Xperia Z4 Tablet General] D_STROY:
Thanks for taking the time to do this Jelbo, it will be very useful! I couldn't believe the amount of background processes, etc, that were going on either when I have looked into a task manager, for stuff that I have never used and probably never will and has no business eating up RAM when I'm not looking! Not only that, even if you stop whatever is running it just starts up again anyway so the only way is to get it off the device or freeze it.

Keep up the good work mate!
[Xperia Z4 Tablet General] jelbo:
Thanks. Yeah it's pretty crazy how much stuff there is and how much more free RAM you have after debloating. By the way, check out the new sheet link in the OP, old one is dead. ;)

I also found this 4pda post that might help in deciding on some tricky ones. [MENTION=4127195]alex009988[/MENTION], do I guess correctly that you are Russian speaking? If so, would you give me some help on some items?
[Xperia Z4 Tablet General] mj084:
[MENTION=1847079]jelbo[/MENTION]

Big thx! Great work!:good::good::good:

Will have to compare now both lists to debloat my Z3 Tablet compact:laugh:
[Xperia Z4 Tablet General] jelbo:
You can just use the jelbo tab for now as it contains both my and moly82's findings.
[Xperia Z4 Tablet General] mj084:
Yes of course, but I think Z3 Tablet Compact stock apps are more like Z3 Compact...think I'll flash the debloating script from Z3C manually and take a look in system/app and system/priv app:)
[RAZR i Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] razrkeks:
Hi guys,

a couple days ago my Razr i stopped working. After a forced reboot it stucked at the intel logo an doesn't boot further (like http://xdaforums.com/razr-i/help/wont-boot-stuck-intel-screen-t3162719). I tried several things I've read in this forum (and other sites) but with no success.

My original system was Android 4.4.2 build für RetailEU and I would love to have either this back or the CM11 from Hazou (http://xdaforums.com/razr-i/development/rom-unofficial-cyanogenmod-11-t2966855). Unfortunately I don't get this far.

I unlocked (successfully) my phone tried to replace the Recovery with TWRP (as described in Hazou's thread) but after a reboot I get the following error:

E:fail to write to /tmp/kernel
E:fail to create kernel file /tmp/kernel
failed to enter recovery mode, error code -1

The only Recovery I was able to install was CWM 6.0.1.9 but unfortunately this version doesn't allow me to install the CM11 as I get the error:

set_metadata_recursive: some changes failed

A change in the updater script as suggested here http://android.stackexchange.com/qu...et-set-metadata-recursive-some-changes-failed doesn't work either.

Any suggestions how I can get my phone back to live?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] G.moe:
Anyone know a way to wipe the dalvik cache from stock recovery or download mode? I tried flashing the zip from here in stock recovery using adb and external storage, but it doesn't pass signature verification. I would just use an adb shell to wipe, but as I cannot fully boot, I believe I'm restricted to sideload mode for adb.

If anyone is curious about what happened, I flashed the xposed uninstaller using FlashFire, and foolishly forgot to add wiping the dalvik to the FF queue. I'll just start fresh if necessary, but does anyone have any ideas on how I can correct this another way?

It will show the command line screen, the courser will go down a couple of lines, all blank by the way, and then boot into windows. I dont know why it does this, can some one help??

if it's that slow .... you just aren't being patient enough. also if you've stopped the process along the way after it does that write speed test.... it's possible you damaged the files. i ran into the same problem. i formatted the drive and re-installed and did the process over and just waited.... 20+ mins. it finally booted. then i turned my pc off booted into windows and copied everything from the usb to a fat 32 partition on my ssd and boot from that runs MUUUCH faster boots in seconds

Ok, I'm not pressing anything besides enter whenever it tells me to, and I'm currently in remix is rn even after it said the system error. So idk
[Remix OS for PC] TheBasterd:
Good lord! Dont even think of booting it from that garbage usb drive. Get a better one, with atleast 25-28MB/s speed. Or, you will be stuck on the booting screen forever. Trust me brother, spend a few bucks, get a better pendrive.

lol, yeah, idk why it's saying that. It's a USB 3.0 drive and i have it in a usb 3.0 port but it booted up within 5 min. like most people have. but im going to dual boot it with windows.

[GUIDE][Cube i6 Air (3G or Wifi)] How to install Android 4.4.4 (Stock & RemixOS) !

Welcome to my tutorial !

You can find others tutorials related to the Cube i6 :

Update your EFI BIOS

Install Windows 10

Disclamer: This process might contain ROM hacking, this is for advanced users.

Software included may be subject to copyright.

Flash your device at your own risk. Developer is not responsible for what you do on your device.

THE FILES ARE NOT YET UPLOADED TO THE DRIVE SO DONT PANIC!

What you need:

Cube i6 Air (3G or Wifi)

A microUSB Cable

The Flashing Suite (Downloadable on my drive)

A compatible Android ROM (Downloadable on my drive)

THIS IS THE LINK I'M REFFERING TO WHEN SAYING "THE DRIVE"

https://drive.google.com/folderview?id=0B8YPw4HjmqNCZktOZy1OTEN2ZVE&usp=sharing

What to do :

1.) Before starting, please make sure your device is not plugged in util i ask you to.

2.) Go to the drive, into your device folder, go to android folder, and download the "Intel_Flashing_Package.zip" archive you can find there.

It contains 3 Softwares mandatory for install. To gain some time, you can download the ROM you want to install now and save it for later.

3.) Extract the package anywhere on your disk, and Install each software without any specific settings on desired location.

You should install them following that order:

1- iSoCUSB-Driver

2- IntelAndroidDrv

3- Manufacturing flash tool

4.) Now you have all the software, you need the ROM ! You need to extract the ROM you downloaded (or download now if you did not) anywhere on your disk. it should look like a folder with these files:

The default Partition table is 4Gigs for Android, 1 of cache, and 25Gigs for Windows. You can replace it with any partition.tbl available on the drive, that suits your needs!

5.) You are now good to go! You can start "Manufacturing flash tool". Make sure your settings match these ones:

Then click on "File" then "Open", and choose the "flash.xml" you can find in your ROM folder, or if there are differents, choose the one that suits your need.

6.) Now the flash tool il waiting for your device to be connected. So make sure your tablet is in Android mode in BIOS, and then power it off.

To start the tablet in DnX mode (flashing mode), you just have to start it by pressing Volume+ and Power simultaneously. When its done, the tablet should display "Waiting for fastboot command..."

7.) Now your tablet is in DnX mode, you can plug it to your computer and it will flash automatically. the software will tell you when the flash finished by coloring the progressbar in green. The tablet should turn off when completed.

Congrats! You successfully Flashed your Android ROM !

Keep reporting cube for not doing tutorials so far !!!

Regards,

Max.
