Can anybody help me out to get rid of them without deleting them from the apps list in a file manager?
[Sony Xperia X Performance ROMs, Kernels, Recoverie] serajr:
If you have updated those apps before running the debloat script, you still need to uninstall them manually (config > apps > show system...), once updated apks still reside at /data/app/

Also, double check if /system/_debloat_backup/oem_* folders have their respective "bloat" apps (there are some recoveries that do not mount /oem partition as they should do so)

Works like a charm on my Xperia XZ!

Another awesome job - you rock :good::good::good:
[Sony Xperia X Performance ROMs, Kernels, Recoverie] serajr:
Thanks mate!! :highfive:

Your feedback is always welcome!
[Sony Xperia X Performance ROMs, Kernels, Recoverie] jerkbait_swe:
Used this on my X Compact today and it worked great. Lots of bloat removed :)
[Sony Xperia X Performance ROMs, Kernels, Recoverie] dillalade:
Tha k you serajr.

Just ran on my XZ.

I'm aware some apps will need to be manually uninstalled after flashing.

However I was able to uninstall Facebook manually but not Swiftkey. Any advice.

Please have a look at my logs, does it looks good?

https://drive.google.com/folderview?id=0B6e46LKf3A75TFJCZEpGOG5kczg

Edit:

Since applying I've noticed in settings>storage

... The memory/ram statistics page has disappeared.

Serajr was this intentional in the debloat to remove this? Seems odd. Wondering what's there features have been removed. How I can get the ram usage statistics back please.

Thanks in advance
[Sony Xperia X Performance ROMs, Kernels, Recoverie] serajr:
Thanks mate!

Thank you!!

Swiftkey is not actually listed as "bloatware", that's why you're not able to unistall it (it is needed in order to enter pin password after boot). But if want to get rid of it, you can edit the debloat_list.sh file and remove the "keep" marks (### - in red below):

[B][COLOR="Red"]### [/COLOR][/B]${MOVE} /system/app/com.swiftkey.swiftkeyconfigurator ${BK_SYSTEM_APP}
[B][COLOR="Red"]### [/COLOR][/B]${MOVE} /system/app/com.touchtype.swiftkey ${BK_SYSTEM_APP}

About the disappeared memory/ram statistics setings page, you need to restore (move) the

SmartCleaner

folder from

/system/_debloat_backup/system_priv-app/

to

/system/priv-app/

(then reboot).

I'll release v1.6 with

SmartCleaner

not marked as "bloatware" again (thanks again for the heads up)
[Sony Xperia X Performance ROMs, Kernels, Recoverie] dillalade:
I'm in safe hands once again.

need help in deleting /system/_debloat_backup/ folder

running android 7.1.1, installed busybox and tried remounting system as rw, but still fx explorer having su rights cannot delete this , and keeps giving readonly error...
[Sony Xperia X Performance ROMs, Kernels, Recoverie] serajr:
Just go ahead mate! Script (as it is) must work on any xperia device.

I have no problem remounting /system with Root Explorer!

Ensure you have sony ric service disabled into kernel prior to remount /system as rw and perform changes.
[Sony Xperia X Performance ROMs, Kernels, Recoverie] YasuHamed:
i changed the busybox vendor

and gave rw permission again

it worked. :)

please explain little bit, what exactly this stricpt does, I have deleted the folder but all apps are there, gmail, youtube, keep, galary etc , however the mobile feels faster
[Sony Xperia X Performance ROMs, Kernels, Recoverie] serajr:
Debloat script does clean /system and /oem partitions. Mentioned apps you still have installed are the updated versions, and they get stored at /data partition, so, to get rid of them, do simple uninstall them as any other regular app.
[Sony Xperia X Performance ROMs, Kernels, Recoverie] squall_20042001:
i flashed this script but are there still have so many docomo app, maybe is not have delete docomo app in this script
[Sony Xperia X Performance ROMs, Kernels, Recoverie] serajr:
It may be possible. Please, do run these shell commands and share the results:

[B]ls -a1 /system/app[/B]

[B]ls -a1 /system/priv-app[/B]

[B]ls -a1 /system/vendor/overlay[/B]

Better try to get rid of them manually. Run v1.7, reboot, and manually mount

[Sony Xperia X Performance ROMs, Kernels, Recoverie] Klaus N.:
Have you deodexed your rom?

Yes sorry forgot to precise, I'm using existenze and it's deodexed.
[Sony Xperia X Performance ROMs, Kernels, Recoverie] serajr:
Issue is related to you deodex rom, maybe missing bluetooth libs (after deodex process)! You must check this out!
[Sony Xperia X Performance ROMs, Kernels, Recoverie] ratoune:
You're right, logs seems to point that crash is caused by missing libbluetooth.jso..

Would you know what apps you're removing this is from? From the backup folder I don't find the lib, same going through your script
[Sony Xperia X Performance ROMs, Kernels, Recoverie] serajr:
You won't find the lib at the debloat backup folder once debloat script doesn't handle bluetooth related folders!

The missing lib you mentioned should be present at

Tested 1.7 on the latest 41.2.A.7.76 build on my F8131. Debloated, deleted the backup, then disabled/uninstalled all apps and had regular reboots. Back to having all the bloat :( till I have more time to test my process and see if I did something wrong - most likely.
[Sony Xperia X Performance ROMs, Kernels, Recoverie] Klaus N.:
The debloat script works fine with the 41.2.A.7.76 fw on my XZ (F8331). I'm almost sure it has to do with the apps you disabled/uninstalled right after.

So if the apps you tried to deinstall manually are also system apps, I suggest to use this script for that. There's a how-to in the op (see "Notes:") ;)

I'm a noob at this. I come from an ICS Android! I bought a f3181 a few days ago and I would like to try this script.

A couple of silly questions:

- What does "Custom kernel with disabled DM-Verity (mandatory, due /system partition modifications)" mean? (I have N firmware, bootloader unlocked... everything as it came from the factory). I must do something?

- About TWRP, should I use the twrp-3.1.1-0-dora.img version? Should I install it with flashtool (in that case: 0.9.23.2 or 0.9.18.6?).

Sorry for this questions, I'm totally noob to the last androids.

Many thanks in advance.

Would it be possible to add a version that completely remove ALL Sony and Google apps. One of the reasons I'm requesting it is the fact that the Google apps drain the battery too quickly. Removing them and installing Micro-G fixed the battery drain on my other non-Sony phone.

Btw, if you (all) want a new and clean debloat script (non-root and root) version, head over to the xperia xz2 forum.

Edit: I manage to generate my own list of docomo apps to be removed. Already applied it to my phone and it did remove a lot of the Docomo stuffs.
[Sony Xperia X Performance ROMs, Kernels, Recoverie] A Good Kid:
Is there anyway that i can keep some of the apps?
[Sony Xperia X Performance ROMs, Kernels, Recoverie] Klaus N.:
Yes, for sure!

Either before running the script:

Simply open the debloat_list.sh with Notepad++ and edit it for your needs (set a '#' at the beginning of the line where's an app you don't want to remove), save your so modified debloat_list.sh and replace the original one with it.

Or:

Just move the apps you want/need back (after running the script, a folder '_debloat_backup' will be created in system partition) to it's destinate folder and reboot your device.

Simple as that :cool:
[Sony Xperia X Performance ROMs, Kernels, Recoverie] A Good Kid:

I am looking to upgrade from a Samsung Galaxy S 4 and was told by a few members to look at a LG G4 but then I had one negative review that said that the G4 was very faulty. I would be buying a t-mobile G4 specifically and buying it from swappa. Due to the failure rates I was told to also look at the G3 but development seems slim. There's 1 CM maintainer and 1 contributor. Didn't get to look around the G4 section to see how nougat development is going. Should I go G3 or G4?

About me. I love my LG G4 T-mobile. If you were planing to install Custom ROMs. I'll say you're free to go. But if you're planing to count on it with your daily tasks. It will fail you. I replaced my LG G4 twice. And still complain about defects. The bootloop that you might hear about is unpredictable. Heating is permanent issue which will cost sensors to break. And a lot of permanent hardware failure. I love my LG G4 but I can't never count on it. One more thing its resources will consume a lot of energey. A short lasting battery life time.
