How are chances to get around this issue by replacing the odexed apps known as being corrupted with some from another device as some guys did for other Sony devices? Did anyone try this already?
I haven't, but @alex009988 comes close in his deodexing attempt, which sadly doesn't resolve the random reboots.

For me, it's been a while since I had one. I'm starting to doubt if the random reboots are Xposed related. The reboot that always happens with Xposed after the 'Optimizing apps' stage definitely seems Xposed related though.

Recently, I can't be bothered troubleshooting this extensively anymore. What would help is check if uninstalling Xposed, wiping cache/dalvik still results in a post-'optimizing' crash, and if running Xposed-less is more random-reboot free than with it (as they seem to happen to people anyway, even without Xposed).

Hi,
I did not have a single Random reboot since I uninstalled Xposed and reflash the stock rom (and androplus kernel and twrp and SuperSu) . Sorry not to be able to push the investigation further, but I need my tablet for my work, so I can not live with Random reboot related to xposed itself or other Xposed modules :confused:

Can you link us to relevant Z5 topics/posts?

I think we should test it and see if it solve the problem. Z5 users use it, let's don't be left behind by them.:eek:.

If Tobias script work for our device too.
We need:
Find stock kernel
Boot into twrp
Flash stock kernel and flash rootkernel.zip
Flash patched stock kernel via fastboot.

Sounds like a pretty easy thing to do if you're familiar with this stuff. Good find! Btw, I think on our tablet TWRP should be separate and not be a part of the kernel.

The following two links may be useful in getting the stock kernel from the firmware:

1. Download firmware
http://forum.xda-developers.com/cro...xperifirm-xperia-firmware-downloader-t2834142

2. Extract kernel
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2699858
Thanks for the links. Unfortunately, tobias script v2 dosen't work for our tablet. Of course, it makes something with the kernel, it becomes bigger. But it doesn't load, bootloop starts on blue waves. Also, yellow led appears but it doesn't load twrp.
I upload stock kernel for spg771 F.260 with the hope that someone will help to disable dm variety and Sony Ric and add TWRP loading.
