[UNMAINTAINED][ROM ALL-IN-ONE] [LP_5.1.1] [D58XX] Heavily debloated - extras etc

[UNMAINTAINED]

This is for both locked/unlocked. Being 100% stock it is not going to unlock your BL, mess up your DRM/keys etc!

As some people asked me hereby I present you my new all-in-one solution for z3c d5803, this time based on LP 5.1.1, with following charateristics:

- Based on LP 5.1.1 23.4.A.1.264 FW (D5803, customized IT); 23.4.A.1.200 (D5833, customized HK) both with good spaced LTE icon
- pre-rooted with SuperSU 2.46 and Dual Recovery 2.8.21
- 100% stock (odexed)
- Heavily debloated with my own original big list
- xposed flashable v78 official by rovo for 5.1.1 + xposed APK alpha4
- Web View Google already updated to latest version as of 21/Jan in /data
- NFC icon restored
- Etar Calendar replacing Sony's
- Google Keyboard, Dialer and Contacts replacing Sony's (normal V8) or stock Sony versions (in V8_sony version)
- Nova Launcher replacing Sony's
- ES File Manager (pre-bloated version) replacing stock one
- QuickPic (neutered signed pre-bloated version) replacing Sony Album
- Z3+/Z4 bootanimation and live wallpaper
- Z5 conversations/messages/InCallUI/Phonebook (V8_sony version)
- Gravity Box, Unlink ringtones/notifications volume, AppsOpsXposed, MinMinGuard, Blurred System UI and Xperia Xposed xposed modules in /data
- Latest Sony Music in /data
- DPI changed to 280 for much better screen experience
- External SDCard writing fix
- Status Bar Icons Spacing Fix - example
- Camera/Album link FIX - to be able use camera without Album installed so you can open the images you take with your favourite image viewer!
- Lock screen fix in SystemUI (for hour in bold, and minutes in thin font) - example

NOTES

1. as in my first debloating solution for all xperia phones, all the bloat/replaced stuff is not really deleted but moved to a Backup folder in system (/system/__Backup) so you can restore anything you want very easily (sony keyboard, sony launcher, system apps etc)

2. that's the reason you can see /system partition still almost full in spite of my high debloat, but stuff moved to the backup folder is "silent", so for sure it is not affecting the system at all and it is like it is not installed: I use this approach for people who needs to restore something, this way restoring is very very easy and fast. By the way, deleting the whole Backup folder (or moving it to your sdcard) you will then see something like 1.1 gb extra free space in /system!! (see screenshots below )

Click to expand...

Click to collapse

Requirements:

- Working recovery installed


Installation: (as easy as...)

1. full backup
2. full wipe (system, data, cache and dalvik) ***
3. flash either AiO for D5803 [V8!!!] or AiO for D5803 [V8_sony!!!] or AiO for D5833 [V6!!!]
5. reboot/enjoy





PS IMPORTANT NOTE for unlocked BL users: to fix r/w on system you will have to flash a custom kernel like the one by Gustavo for example



*** NOTES ABOUT FULL WIPE vs DIRTY FLASH




In case of UPDATING from one version to another: (as easy as... if not expressly mentioned to do otherwise...)

- Google Calendar replaced sony's
- status bar icons spacing fix by great @istux
- Xperia Xposed v2.0 by great @serajr -> if you are NOT going to wipe data during the upgrade, this won't be installed automatically. you can install it manually going to /system/etc/product/applications and clicking on "Xperia_Xposed_2.0.apk"
- simplified all-in-one zip structure with less "extra" scripts (i did put three zips in one so at the end of the fw flashing you won't see too many additional zips flashing after each other)


Removed stuff:

With my solution you are going to get rid of more than 170 packages and all relevant libs/stuff plus all applications automatically installed by Sony, overlays etc...
As said at the beginning, stuff is not going to be really deleted, but moved in /system/__Backup folder. This way you can restore things very easily.

At the following link you will find the full list of all stuff I moved away:

HOW TO RESTORE SOMETHING

PS. of course I also removed from my FW all the stuff that can be easily downloaded from the Play Store (Gmail, etc)
In the hidden field below you will find the restoring instructions you need to follow to restore any package you may want back:

Hi guys, here you are my FINAL release for LP.

V7 for D5803: https://mega.nz/#!HZhmHIyL!fnbpzlE-LoyOc7f_8u2IRKGWzdRw7cVNrzUYGZbibbQ

MD5: 287DDFFC837130512A8B72BDEB437FD4


I guess this will be the last LP fw by sony, btw I won't release other LP stuff in any case, really need some rest now
I may be back if android M will ever come for Z3C



CHANGELOG:
- based on latest .232 EU CE1 fw, that fixes all stagefright vulnerabilities
- added AppsOps to system (thanks @filou76 for the suggestion)
- added unlock ringtone and notification volumes xposed module in /data (thanks @itandy, hope it is not a problem otherwise just let me know and I'll remove the module from the rom )


Changed fw so you'll need the whole package. You can dirty flash it.




D5833: sorry guys, but I won't release a V7 for D5833 it seems.. the AiO for D5833 I prepared breaks the phone, and flashing a FTF via flashtool is needed.. really don't know why I spent hours trying to figure out but didn't find the culprit! only differences between D5803 and D5833 builds are the base FW (and D5833 FW is surely good, I flash it without problems) and the Extra.zip (different build.prop and permission.xml file), so maybe the Extra.zip has some problems but didn't have time to test it more deeply...

if someone wants to test it as well:

https://mega.nz/#!KVIE0YTD!8lDomm9_jSyorZcPSPdYxUcveeJOYDYo2VOoXPfuKgw (V5 based on new .200 fw, CE1 Europe)

...seems to be working fine here. of course too soon to speak of the battery.. D5803 only for now

ps. you need to get the whole package as it is
based on a completely new fw. to keep all your data, just wipe system, cache and dalvik and then flash the rom


Changelog:

- all apps updated (Google services and play store included)

- restored CallWidgetFrameworkPermission (shouldn't be needed it you don't have call recording function but just in case...)

- some Z5 stuff (phonebook, incallui, conversations/messages, bootanimation)

- google Photos removed (it was added in latest fw)

- added QuickPic and MXPlayer in system




md5: 9888ACC9D2B427FC5FD403B8C5A6E984


will update OP later on!



thanks a lot @masuods70 for the base fw i used!!!

V4 uploaded with small updates (as sony is still not releasing a new FW unbranded with stagefright fix), especially intended for D5833 users (there will be a D5833 dedicated version from now on as some people asked me about that in pvt)


small changelog for V4:

- restored /priv-app/SemcStorageChecker (to avoid FC when going to settings > memory > transfer data to SD card, this way you will get again notification about your storage being almost full when 75% is reached though)
- restored /priv-app/shell (to avoid errors when using ADB)
- Z3+ livewallpaper included in the rom (dunno why now it started working fine again even without the "multiple zips trick")
- all the apps which are included, updated as of today
- xposed flashable updated to official v74 from rovo89
- Sony music app installed in /data (only in case of clean installs)
- dpi increased to 280 for better screen visibility, so things won't be so small as before (but still better than stock value which is way too big for me)


bye!

Just a few but nice changes in it:

- Camera/Album link FIX: at last it is possible to use camera without album installed so you can open the images you take with your favourite image viewer! (so I removed album in v3, see below) Many thanks @venkat kamesh for making this possible :good:
- updated google play services and play store to latest in /system/priv-app
- updated xperia xposed module (dirty flashing v3 this won't be installed, btw if you use this module surely you have already updated it yourself so not a big problem [emoji14] )
- xposed flashable updated to v70
- lock screen fix in systemUI (for hour in bold, and minutes in thin font. Thanks again @Wajk for the solution hint!) - see example
- ar-effect/bgdefocus/infoeye/album/music all removed from /system/priv-app

- ImageEnhancer removed from /system/app



UPDATING
If you are updating, no need to download the whole package and install it again. For the lockscreen fix, just flash this from recovery. For the camera/album link fix, just flash this from recovery. Other things as per changelog can be done easily manually if you want!



EXTRA

Z3+ Live Wallpaper working fine in 5.1.1 (follow instructions step by step!)

1. download ZIP_1 and ZIP_2
2. enter in recovery, flash ZIP_1 and reboot
3. go to settings > personalization > wallpaper > home and lockscreen > live wallpapers
4 if the new LW is there in the list > click on it. You will get FC, it is normal don't worry, press OK and reboot to recovery and go to next point. if list is empty, repeat step 2 and 3 until you see it in the list! (you may have to flash ZIP_1 couple of times before to see correctly the new LW in the list )
5. in recovery flash ZIP_2 and reboot
6. go again to settings > personalization > wallpaper > home and lockscreen > live wallpapers and now you should be able to set the new Z3+ LW (thanks @freddy1991 for the hint, I just automatized a little the procedure with the flashable zips, and of course @lee480 for the live wallpaper port! )
