Here's one for you boys,
Successfully rooted .77, LB on D6653 (thanks to zombiej79). Everything's running smoothly except for Screenshots. I get the "Content may be protected or the memory may be full" every time. Now some may think this isn't a big issue but i screenshot almost 20 times a day. its a major buzzkill.
Before you ask it's not while running an app its even on my homescreen/lockscreen. I've tried the following with no success:
- Downloading third party screenshot app with SU access
- Manually deleting the Pictures folder and sceenshots folder then recreating
- Wiping Change/Dalvik Cache
- Re-setting permissions in Recovery
If anyone has any idea's besides re-flashing it'd be greatly appreciated. If flashing is the only way can someone direct me to a guide on how to do it without re-rooting and downloading all my apps etc.
Just a thought have you flashed latest relese recovery? Maybe a r/w problem get root browser and try and set system to r/w see if it works

Yeah! 2.8.1 nut's dual recovery? I've tried the whole r/w and no success.
The weird thing is I can't seem to delete the Pictures folder. It just comes back instantly every time after a refresh and I can't make another one (it doesn't tell me i can't it just disappear/reappears after i create/delete it), which makes me assume its the permissions, but all other r/w features work perfectly.
Do you save them to internal or sd?

Try this too sre if it can capture the screen
Okay the SD card fix did nothing, it's telling me everything already has the permissions. As for the screenshot app it worked, because it didn't save in the default location (/sdcard/pictures/screenshots) it saved in it's own app folder. Which brings me back to the fact I have no permissions in my internal storage. is their a way to change the Sony default screenshot save location?
It honestly has me stumped. Everytime i try to manually delete the folder @ sdcard/Pictures/Screenshots it will instantly re-create both folders it's self with a time stamp of 30/4/1970 and be non-writable.
Try settin your date and time manualy reboot and see what happens. Been trying to find something to help but not really sure. The folder have these permissions?
Only other thing I can think is reflash the. 77 zip dont wipe see if that corrects it. Wont lose any data that way

Solved.
So, I've narrowed it down to all Stock Xperia folders i can't change permissions or don't have permissions. Weird. but I've worked around it. I couldn't change/delete/rename or modify the folders without them suddenly re-appearing. But the system let me cut/move them (strange i know). so I've completely moved all folders to a trash folder and re-created new ones. and Bam. it works.
Here's a screenshot of my fully rooted working phone. Wish i could pay ya back for your efforts mate thanks!
Awesome man glad you got it worked out. No worries just happy to help thats how a Z3 should look

I uninstalled the app Dialer in preference for my custom one but when I look in the Home-> Applications the icon still shows up. I am trying to pear down the Naked 2.3.4 ROM to even something smaller. I am trying to eliminate all things except our apps and a custom phone dialer. I am using a Motorola Droid X2 with the Naked 2.3.4 rom.
Try touching the app and see what it does. Had one like that once and after I touched the icon, the device asked me if I wanted to remove it.
The last time something like this happened to me, I used Titanium Backup to get rid of it. Have you tried that?

Alternatively you could try using Astro or ES File explorer
I've flashed a new ROM and restored the app from Google Play.
Among them, Titanium Backup and it's Pro key.
First I've saw the error "not enough free storage".
Then uninstalled both the app and the key. Reinstalled.
Wipe dalvik cache and cache...
Nothing works more.
I can install but it always shown Version Pro (donation) - Thank you! but I cannot backup anything.
P.S. I do not have an .odex file in system\data folder (as suggested in other threads).
What can I do?

yes, thats where i was, but it did not detect the legacy location and give me that option like it normally does. Tried editing the post after I figured it out, but I had to wait 5 minutes then didnt care any more lol. In the screen where you select to scan or use current, the back button goes up a level in the directories, so I just had to manually navigate to the proper location

Several fixes have suggested so far and different fixes have helped different people. So here an additional option wich migth help.
I moved the backup folder from it's previous location to /storage/B3EC-1310/Android/data/com.keramidas.TitaniumBackup/Backup using adb shell which is a lot faster then using a file manager which moves every file in a directory separately.
The B3EC-1310 is the ID of the SD card which will be different for every SD card.
Then I changed the location in Titanium Backup itself as well. That works for now but is still not perfect. I guess I need to change from the AOKP rom to a rom which does not protect the SD card.

if i may know, what makes it imperfect? is there something bothering you during backup / restore?

I tried backing up from Titanium Backup, but whatever I tried, it kept complaining about insufficient space.. Tried changing the backfolder to either /storage/0/TitaniumBackup and /storage/legacy/TitaniumBackup, but it still failed. Had to resort to backupping to a USB-OTG stick..
Any settings I need to change or something?
May be you bro, I tried it on my N5, 4.4.2 and I had no issue. I'm assuming you do have plenty of space? You have 6.1.4.3 running?

I checked my folder for TB and it shows DRW, I think and I could be wrong, that means the owner can read/write. Are you using a different profile?

Did you manage to solve your problem...? I am having the exact same issues right now, could you please tell m e what/if your fix was? I was able to delete the Titanium Backup folder from/storage/emulated/0 But now as I cannot make a backup it can't make a new folder and I no longer have a backup folder location, even if i make a folder via Root Explorer it still can't detect it....
thanks

Anyone tried and had success with this......2x phone hung up so I don't know what's up
I am trying this again....I deodexed myself with version 2.5 because 2.4 would not work at all
EDIT* I deodexed successfuly with the batch deodexer in the OP, and used the ZIP you have and replaced with my deodexed files. Android Upgraded and I can tell it worked because it went from 101 to 320 as far as apps go. Booted first time with 0 issues. I am on DODOL launcher and have TouhWiz frozen.
Flashed the 5 way reboot it works!
FYI this process will drain your battery hard

Can you post the ZIP that you used that worked? I've currently been sitting at the red Verizon screen for about 15 minutes and am starting to lose hope. Giving it about another 5 before I boot back into TWRP and restore my backup.

I Didn't use this one, I don't know whats causing the issues, it may be the other mods in addition. I used Joel Droids Batch Deodexer myself. I downloaded the zip from this thread and deleted the system app/priv-app and framework folders inside of it, and replaced it with the ones I deodexed myself.
1. You just go to your system folder with Root Explorer and copy priv-app, framework, app to your SD Card.
2. Copy those 3 folders from your SD Card to your Computer into a folder on the desktop. Name it whatever you want. I named it myrom
3. Run the Deodex program.
4. When it's finished, copy the 3 folders inside the my ROM folder and place it in the Zip folder you downloaded from this OP.
5. Reboot to recovery
6. Wipe Cache / Dalvik Cache
7. Flash the Zip
8. Wipe Cache / Dalvik Cache
9. Reboot
10. it will take about 15-30 minutes total to reboot
LET IT BOOT FIRST BEFORE DOING ANY INDIVIDUAL MODS
Flash the 5 way reboot individually if you want that. I did and even that took a long time to reboot. All is good on my end and I am deodexed
Just to be clear, when you say the sip from this thread, you're saying you started with "DeodexedLPModified.zip"?
Will doing all of that remove all of the modifications the OP originally touted? I was mainly attempting this for Mobile Hotspot.

yes that same zip......you can individually flash the hotspot...all you have to do is get this to boot deodexed
I'm pretty sure all the mods individual will work if you deodex yourself. I'm working on making a full deodexed rom With the mods preinstalled. Lollipop is just being difficult.

After you run the zip.....wipe cache and do not flash any individual mods until you get a successful boot

So at this point is there no way to get the tether app to work other than getting your system deodexed? I know that it was just a matter of modifying a SQL databas, but I'm assuming that's changed.

If you want, navigate to /system and copy these folders with Root Explorer to your external SD card in a folder you create and name it System
1. app
2. framework
3. priv-app
Then copy that folder from your SD card to your Computer Desktop. Share that folder via Dropbox. Send me a link I will download it and deodex it for you. I will send you the completed zip. It's important that you pull them directly from your phone.....
I will send you the flashable zip file....I don't really ever give up until I find a solution
With the news that Google will be releasing monthly OTA updates, I am wondering if we can create a method to apply OTA updates on rooted/modified devices (e.g. modify the update.zip itself to bypass whatever checks it performs)?
I run stock, but with root, xposed, and many system applications removed. Returning to 100% stock each month, updating, then re-modifying is a tedious process that I am not looking forward to.
Does anyone have experience with how the OTA updates work? Is it even possible to modify the update.zip to remove the check for a stock /system?

Yes it is possible to modify the script. You will have to browse through it, delete the assert lines that pertain to each system file you modified, and also delete any patch and permission lines for each of the files you modified.
So as you can see, it is much easier to just flash the system and boot images when they are posted, then make your changes (root, Xposed, etc.), rather than modifying the OTA script.

Thank you both, definitely easier just to flash the factory image and re-modify. I'll have to make my own update.zip to automate the process for future updates.
I wonder if Google will be releasing new factory images for each OTA; I hope and assume so.
So we have to flash only system.IMG and boot.IMG from the latest factory? Only these 2 files?
Tnx
