Yes val=0 to enable onscreen navigation keys val=1 is to disable. Since you think adding this line causing crashes alternatively you can enable them using Gravity Box (Xposed Module) it needs Xposed framework (I assume you know what is Xposed and how to use it).
[Android General] tatai@123:
Oh no I don't know what is Xposed framework . can you help me out sir..??
[Android General] Jitheshwar:
Search on XDA you'll get lot of info simply it brings custom ROM features to stock ROM through Add-ons (called "Xposed Modules") by providing an opportunity to make changes to the system and apps without effecting them. So download Xposed Installer and then install the apk open it after that install"Xposed framework" reboot your device after that download and install "Gravity Box [KK]" for KitKat from download section of Xposed enable Gravity Box module from module section reboot again. After rebooting the device open Gravity Box from drawer menu look for Navigation bar tweaks open it and then enable the master switch and then reboot the device. Now you'll have Navigation Bar not only this you can tweak almost every aspect of the system.

Notes:

Don't reboot the device from the options available in Xposed Installer.

If the latest version doesn't work for you install 2.5.1 version.
[Android General] tatai@123:
I will try with the custom rom
[Android General] tatai@123:
So I tried it. But there was an error with the gravitiy box. It pops a message saying system framework not responding
[Android General] Jitheshwar:
As I said you need to install the Xposed framework from Xposed Installer.apk after that you need to reboot and then enable Gravity Box module from Xposed->Modules and then reboot once again now open Gravity Box app if you still see message like framework not detected then install 2.5.1 (old ver.) of Xposed Installer and then repeat the process now you you can see Gravity Box working enable navigation bar tweaks and then Reboot that's it.

Hello guys,

i've bought the p8lite from a few days and it was working great.

Suddendly the camera has stopped working. I keep getting the message "Impossibile avviare la fotocamera, verificare che non siano in esecuzione applicazioni esterne in background (come torcia elettrica). Chiudere le applicazioni in questione e riprovare.".

Translated is like "Unable to start camera, check that there aren't any external app in background (such as torch). Close those apps and try again"

I've not installed any app yet, nor I have rooted or flashed the phone so I really don't know what to do with it.

Help me please!

Thanks in advance to everyone.

Hi, same problem here. I have ALE-04 version (android 5.1)

i tried:

*clean app data/cache: didnt work

*wipe cache/date partition from recovery: didnt work

*factory reset: didnt work

*downgrade to android 4: didnt work

*upgrade again to android 5: didnt work

*close apps like flashligth: didnt work

i am thinking about root and uninstall some apps or re install camera app. Maybe flash stock rom using twrp.

i just dont know if is a hardware issue. I never hit my phone or anything like that

i appreciate any help.

Thanks!!!

Hi,

Hope it helps :)
[P8lite Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] drchocho:
thanks! but send my phone to USA service is very expensive to me. I had bad luck because my phone has no more than a year.

i will keep trying to repair it.
[P8lite Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] XTutorials:
Maybe flashing twrp and flashing B598/599 stock will help.

Also, when you open the camera app you hear a sound from the actual camera (the lens) ?
[P8lite Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] :
I had a similar issue. When I installed a new update etc. the phone was fine. However after switching Google Now Voice (I mean saying ,,Ok Google" from ANY screen) it didn't go well with other apps - in my case it was Camera. So switching Google Ok Voice off helped me. But I'm not really sure, whether it's a same case. Maybe some third party app is blocking something? Good Luck!
[P8lite Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] drchocho:
im embarrased because camera app works sometimes, i mean, usually works 1 day or less and then shows error msg.

Yesterday i restarted my phone (normal restart) and then started to work. So i do not lose hope :p

I didnt have time yet but I will try flash it.

When i open the camera app the screen goes black and shows error msg. There is no sound.

Thanks!. I dont have Google Now activated. I thought about third part app but sometimes i do factory reset and open camera app (before install any app) and still doesnt work.

Probably is a hardware malfunction but i want to figth a little more :laugh:

Thanks!!!

Update info - I received the LeMax2 with International ROM based on 13S........ I download the Stock ROM 15S from the link above copy as update.zip to the phone root, went Vol Up+Power and with the simple EUI Recovery directly update.

No need for any root or TWRP ......keep it simple

[Xiaomi Mi 5 Questions & Answers] skymera:
Hi all.

My Mi5 arrived today with MIUI 7.3.2 Global Stable ROM installed. I'd like to unlock bootloader (Xiaomi granted me permissions already) but I am unable to on this ROM.

I need to flash China ROM but "adb reboot edl" just boots me back into ROM.

Am I right in thinking EDL is blocked on 7.3 and newer? How else can I unlock bootloader ?

To rub salt in the wound, opening contact or dialer crashes the app.

Cheers.
[Xiaomi Mi 5 Questions & Answers] skymera:
After some more fettling I have managed to solve this. I unlocked my bootloader with the 7.3.2 Global ROM.

I factory reset the phone and rebooted. During setup I skipped everything except the Mi account.

Once at the desktop, I rebooted into bootloader and fired up the Mi Unlock tool and this time it worked.

From there I flashed TWRP and Xiaomi.EU ROM.
[Xiaomi Mi 5 Questions & Answers] Pau Caelles:
How did you unlock it on global stable ROM?
[Xiaomi Mi 5 Questions & Answers] fracman:

[Xiaomi Mi 5 Questions & Answers] richardddd:
Attention!

I had lots of trouble unlocking my bootloader, tried everything, but nothing seemed to work. Finally i managed to get i working.

To unlock bootloader on Global Stable ROM do the following:

Download Latest Global Development ROM (not stable rom). I used the one from here http://en.miui.com/download-299.html

Put the ZIP on the downloaded_rom folder on the sdcard. If folder is missing, create it.

Use the updater app on the phone to flash the zip you downloaded.

Be PATIENT, flashing takes TIME! Once it's done you can boot into fastboot and proceed with unlock tool as usual
[Xiaomi Mi 5 Questions & Answers] fracman:
The eu rom is awesome!!!!
[Xiaomi Mi 5 Questions & Answers] fourth1:

Yes! This worked for me too. Soooo much easier than trying to flash China dev roms with the various methods that don't work... Thanks a ton.

[Xperia Z5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] roland101:
Hi,

I couldn't find a thread already on this with a quick search so I was wondering if anyone knows what bloatware apps, User or System, would be safe to uninstall with a rooted phone?

By safe I mean either:

Has no impact on any other functions and if you don't want the features that the app provides you can uninstall it/freeze it/disable it

Can be uninstalled/disabled/frozen with no major impact on device functionality but with some exceptions that if a user is ok with these exceptions not to work then it is otherwise safe to uninstall/freeze/disable (for example say uninstalling a certain system app breaks NFC but you don't care about NFC anyway)

I basically would like to see if this helps with speeding up the phone as, although there is 3GB of RAM, when clearing all recent apps, 2GB is still used up by, I can only assume, system apps and the OS and perhaps some of these are RAM hoggers that I don't need/want anyway.

Thanks for any help/advice
[Xperia Z5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Envious_Data:
I personally go by what apps can be found in the app drawer

(Aside the obvious e.g settings app)
[Xperia Z5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ninestarkoko:
Thank you very much for the extensive guide and tests! Great job and good help for anyone interested in Sony's bloat

I personally focused myself on the running processes and services, searched for information about them and decompiled the strange ones, and then just hid the useless apks.

For anyone interested: freezing/disabling system apps will not prevent them from being launched and run, you need to uninstall them or hide them (which makes them unavailable to the Android system without deleting them, ready to be restored)
[Xperia Z5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ninestarkoko:
Did you encounter any problem with com.qualcomm.qti.tetherservice?

Sometimes, on reboot, i get cyclic crashing of this app, and Logcat shows that the problem lays on some uninstalled system apps (like crashmonitor or enterprise service) :

Bad call: specified package com.appname under uid 1000 but it is really -1

and then com.qualcomm.qti.tetherservice crashes because of:

SecurityException: com.appname was not granted this permission: android.permission.WRITE_SETTINGS

com.appname could be enterprise service or crashmonitor or other system apps uninstalled. They strangely seem to make qti tether app crash. Restoring one of them just makes the error trigger with another system app.
[Xperia Z5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] LolaPalocz:
No, it was may be among the packages I removed early, with the other Entreprise stuff.

I dont do any tethering, and I didnt encouter what you did, sorry.

Have you tried removing it ? Tethering may still work with the pure android stuff (like fingerprint still worked when I removed 2 or may be the 3 apk with fingerprint in their names).

I also checked in my archive of numerous logcats, and did not find any occurence of the string "com.appname" ...
[Xperia Z5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] LolaPalocz:
As some people requested it, here are the script and the files list.

Probably best to use it just after flashtool and fastboot flash boot+twrp, before first boot, but can be run anytime, even multiple times if you want to debloat progressively by uncommenting some lines.

In TWRP : Advanced > Terminal, then cd /externalsd/, and execute :

sh debloat.sh debloat.sane dry to see what the script would do

sh debloat.sh debloat.sane to actually move the apks into /system/__Removed/.

Forgot to say in my first post that it also removes the whole content of /oem/deletable-app/ and /oem/priv-app/ .
[Xperia Z5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ninestarkoko:
com.appname was a generic name for one of the system apps removed... however i'll try to remove Qti tether and see. thanks
[Xperia Z5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Norup58:
Thanks for the scripts.

If I want to restore an apk I just move the apk back to its original place and reboot?

For some reason cant get it to work. Open Terminal but unable to cd to /externalsd/.

If not too much trouble could I ask you to upload it as a flashable script.zip?
[Xperia Z5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] LolaPalocz:
Sorry, I dont know how to make flashable zips. And as TWRP is so nice and provides a shell (you can get it with 'adb shell' too, which is more confortable than the tiny keyboard and screen), you get more flexibility.

And it's ' cd /external_sd/ ' (with a _), where you'll find your external SD card.

And yes, to restore, you just move it back from /system/__Removed/ to its original place, and reboot.

You first have to mount /system (with twrp menu) read-write.

Also, an apk is actually in its own directory (with other stuff, libs, odex...), so we (the script, and you when you restore) are moving directories. So, if you vant to restore, you move the directory back.

Good luck.
[Xperia Z5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Norup58:
Thanks again, got it to work....sort of....

In my case it was 'cd /sdcard/' and running the script via Minimal ADB gives a better overview :good:

Only 'issue' was the apks werent removed. Oh, they were 'backup' ok as your script said/does but had to manually deleted then afterwards. So guess to get best result one should run the script straight after 'SuperSU' has been flashed/installed (before any apks starts updating)- like you mentioned earlier
[Xperia Z5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] greg.chalk:

Is it possible to make a script for the new firmware .224 ?

[Xperia Z5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] greg.chalk:

[Xperia Z5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] greg.chalk:
After testing the script, everything works perfectly.

Just one last question: is it possible to disable or delete with the script "suggested apps"?

Also, maybe it's a good idea to make a new specific thread for this script so even more people be able to find it.
[Xperia Z5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] LolaPalocz:
If you mean the list of recent opened apps on the side of the drawer, it's part of the launcher (/system/app/home-release), and you don't want to remove the launcher : ) , so no.

(It would need hacking this package - there are other threads about modded sony home to install and replace this one - dunno if there is one with this removed).

Well, I like it here : ) The real added value is the list of packages, sorted by importance and categories, with comments. So people can go edit it by hands and decide for themselves what they need. The script is just a side effect : )
[Xperia Z5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] toncheee:
Is it possible to make a script for the new firmware .253?
[Xperia Z5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] LolaPalocz:
I wont have the time to check .253 soon.

But the script and the file list for .224 will most probably work with .253.

There was a few changes between .185 (Android 6.0) and .224 (Android 6.0.1), but as .253 is still Android 6.0.1, Sony may not have changed many .apk filenames, possibly none.

You may execute the script with the option "dry" to see what would be removed. If you see any line starting with "?" instead of "dry", the apk was not found and Sony may have renamed (or just removed) it. Please tell us.
[Xperia Z5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] toncheee:
OK, I just run modified script from .224 (the same I run on .224) and it didn't show any ? so I guess the script is OK for .253

After running the script and reboot, all seems fine, and no more bloat.
[Xperia Z5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dean F:
Hello, for the OMA related APK's. If you remove them your device will not be able to getting the network settings, internet, mms, etc automatically when inserting a new sim card.

The impact is when switching carriers, or traveling and using a new sim card - you will have to manually configure everything - which can be difficult if you don't have an internet connection to google what the settings are.
