Hi, you will have to edit the script from the TA dumper from here https://forum.xda-developers.com/crossdevice-dev/sony/universal-dirtycow-based-ta-backup-t3514236 to have ADB terminal as root without dumping TA. Maybe you can ask the author of the script to edit it for you.
I know that Spotify is on the OEM partition and some few apps too. You can delete the Xperia boot animation too and have the "original" Android bootanimation.

[Q] modify /system folder of CWM zip

Hi!
a not properly modified /system folder (add files of another ROM, delete file and so..) of a CWM flashable zip will brick the device or causes a bootloop?
Thanks in advance

it can cause a hardware failure never use boot.img/recovery.img that's not made for your device
bricked=bootloader corrupted not anything else if your phone is entering bootloop is not bricked if you see bootloader splash (first image after you open your phone/press power button)
if you are happy it causes bootloop

will not hurt your device but don't use it because /system files are deeply integrated in framework it simply means will not work or cause a bootloop anyway do a nandroid backup before that's it if you don't believe me just try it !
I suppose you like some system apps from other phone and want to try on yours... well you can try it no problem but do a nandroid backup and be care about replacing /system app by ex if you want to replace phone.apk is not ok will not work if you get it from somewhere
if you just want to add ordinary apps to /system it will not hurt but don't do it because /system partition is not too big not too much free space why to add apps here ?

Wrong place to post questions dude.. Anyways have you rooted using jcase's method? Then reboot to your bootloader and enter recovery which will boot into android with (system RW ) so u can delete the stuff u dont want and then just normally reboot again... this time your changes should stay.

[Question] How to Backup an APK with App data in it

Can anyone please tell the process to backup app data into apk. This question already asked in this site but no one tell the whole process.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=50135115

Is it possible to create an apk from an app which includes the data/data/app directory from an backup?
I want to backup an app including data (on a rooted device) and i want to restore this app on a non-rooted device.
Accessing data/data without root is not possible. Can i include the data/data/app files in the existing apk so this data is installed when installing an app? I've got apktool and can recompile an app.

Did you unlocked your bootloader?
Or
Just create new file in that directory, named "enable" without ", then set value to 0, and try to mount ..
OP, please add "unlocked Bootloader" under requirements?

Hi guys if my response is too late PM me on Facebook : facebook.com/nasidik.007
Thx in advance
Init.d gets disabled on boot ;_; dammit....
Just saying there is no more need to to this since kernel with RIC disabled is already out: http://forum.xda-developers.com/xpe...2303-cwm-based-recovery-6-0-4-6-root-t2884503
Supported devices: D2303 (LTE), D2305(SingleSim)
Just flash the kernel and install zip.
That's great work you do. You need unlocked bootloader?
Sent from my D2303
Yup you have to unlock your bootloader. If you are fearing that you will lose TA partition, why not downgrade to JB, root and backup TA, then upgrade to Kitkat then unlock the bootloader, flash the kernel, get root and restore TA partition
@vusun123 Thanks for tips but unfortunately I can't, have bootloader unlock No
