[Zenfone 2 Laser Android Development] Rizzed:
Removes unnecessary applications on your device.

Please note that a factory reset is required after flashing the .zip below, thus still being in beta mode. Any attempt to boot without a factory reset after flashing will get you stuck on the boot animation.
