Here is the Google-translation:

I think it's a 32A rom, I'm downloading and test now.
I checked. This is a 32A rom, (hboot support 7200A CPU)
Pity we(G1) can't get a update like that...
Extracted and converted
I extracted the .zip and posted here:
http://www.4shared.com/file/249235242/5f919810/HTC_Sense_Noverca.html
I converted to 32B using relentless roaster here:
http://www.4shared.com/file/249236905/bb7988b8/Roasted-HTC_Sense_Noverca.html
guessing by the size you will need danger spl if on G1, might work on normal MT3G. Anybody willing to try?
Using the extracted files you should be able to convert to english, I just don't know how at the moment.
If anyone got that all english I would have a go.
But I wonder if ot would un-root the phone?

I didn't select a particular boot.img, I only used the button that said compatibility.
I guess the system.img could be unyaffed, but as for further details on modifying the language, I'm not sure.
I tried flashing... got a error saying E,unableto find update script. I'm guessing that. We need a suitable boot.img to make it right conversion. If anybody can get the boot.img and the update script I can then convert it right. ITS TIME TO SEARCH!!!
Its 32A so dont flash to 32B.
Hi,

Hello,
As a senior member, you probably know that logcat is your friend. Since you may not have found how to simplify adb access for 4.4 builds, temporarily add this to your device tree (in the <your chipset name>.mk):
Code:
# Since Android 4.2.2, USB debugging requires authentication, something that is not possible during boot.
# To disable this, set the following property in default.prop (inside initrd):
# ro.adb.secure=0
# To get root access this is a must:
# ro.secure=0
# will allow you to run adbd as root via the adb root command:
#ro.debuggable=1
#service.adb.root=1
ADDITIONAL_DEFAULT_PROPERTIES += \
ro.secure=0 \
ro.adb.secure=0 \
ro.debuggable=1 \
service.adb.root=1 \
persist.service.adb.enable=1 \
persist.service.debuggable=1
Build that, flash, and then take a logcat while booting. You should be able to see what;s going on (even if you need another set of eyes...even then this thread is good for that).
Hope this helps, and good luck!
Thanks so much!

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
I personally go by what apps can be found in the app drawer
(Aside the obvious e.g settings app)
Sent from my D6503 using XDA-Developers mobile app
apks of MM .185 on Z5 Compact
I've been doing a lot of debloating some weeks ago, mainly to try to decrease idle battery drain on my Z5 Compact (without much success...)
So I may share my understanding and sorting of system apks by topic and importance.
These are from MM .185 on Z5 Compact (hope all Z5 models have the same apps).
I'm going to post the content of some input file to a script I execute in TWRP, which moves the apk listed in the non-commented lines (lines not starting with a #) in /system/__REMOVED/.
The current state of removed (lines starting with /) vs kept (lines starting with #) is what I consider safe and sane for now. But lots of # app can be removed without any side effects (see comments). It boots and works ok if you remove all the apks listed, except the ones in the latest 2 sections.
(Full content, sorry if it hurts, but it will allow people to find this post if they search XDA for one of the listed apk - like I had been doing for days).
Most have obvious names, so we get what they do. Some others are less obvious, and I give in the comment line before them what i found out (or just guess) they do.

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)

I've been doing a lot of debloating some weeks ago, mainly to try to decrease idle battery drain on my Z5 Compact (without much success...)
So I may share my understanding and sorting of system apks by topic and importance.

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.

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" ...
LolaPalocz said:
I'm going to post the content of some input file to a script I execute in TWRP, which moves the apk listed in the non-commented lines (lines not starting with a #) in /system/__REMOVED/.
The current state of removed (lines starting with /) vs kept (lines starting with #) is what I consider safe and sane for now. But lots of # app can be removed without any side effects (see comments). It boots and works ok if you remove all the apks listed, except the ones in the latest 2 sections.

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/ .

com.appname was a generic name for one of the system apps removed... however i'll try to remove Qti tether and see. thanks

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?

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.

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

Greetings,
the script works perfect!
Is it possible to make a script for the new firmware .224 ?
Thanks in advance.

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.

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 : )
Is it possible to make a script for the new firmware .253?

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.
Hi,
I have a device with stock rom. Rooted and I can use SU with ADB.
I edited build.prop and added ro.debuggable=1 at the top. *remount rw, edit then remount ro*. However getprop ro.debuggable returns 0.
All the guides I found were about getting root but I have it already.
I don't have custom recovery as my aboot is locked.
Any ideas how to add ro.debuggable to my phone with root without pulling the boot image and repack it?
It's one of those that you cannot edit once it's set.

Like he said. The earliest setting is the one you have to modify.

Just in case you didn't notice, my bootloader is locked so I can't use fastboot. I want a way to control it.

@prof.abkarino
can you post your build.prop
also, just making sure your not entering the command "set ro.debuggable=1" the correct way is "setprop ro.debuggable=1"
also im not sure which variant of LG90 you have but i came across this thread in a search,

ro.debuggable is read only so "setprop ro.debuggable=1" doesn't work. I attached a screenshot.
I have LG L90 D410 V20b. V10* is for kitkat.
For build.prop file, I set it on the first line and I am sure it has no duplicate or override.
