This is a debloat script. It will remove alot of the bloatware that comes with Sony Stock ROM

Flash zip with recovery (twrp :p)
Optional
I installed an app from this link
Smoothness, And Performance Improved (Enable All tweaks and disable Logging engine)



Note!
If someone wants to recover an app from the folder "/system/__backup/" , simply move the app to the correct location (Only available if you flashed the " M4debloat (backup) "

tested on E2353 (26.3.A.1.33)

Sorry, but your script failed on my device (2303). Error code: "Updater process ended with ERROR: 6"

I use TWRP 3.0.2-0 on E2303 (26.3.A.0.131)

:confused::(:(

Now it works! Thank you! AVG, Amazon and Playstation apps still on phone. If you add this apps in your script to remove, then it would be the best and easiest debloater i ever used :D :eek:

Sorry for my bad school english:angel:

Agreed. It annonys me a bit to upload something "destroyed". He should try it out before publishing.
it works,
If you want to do what the debloat-delete zip file does, just flash the M4debloat 1.1 (backup) and navigate to "/system/" and delete the folder "__backup"
And youre good to go :good:

I've tried "jevinruv_debloat" using TWRP but the apps are still there.
Maybe i have to delete them from "backup" folder; which file manager do you recommand to access to /system folder ?
Using "root Explorer" i don't see any "_backup" folder.
I'd really like to see these apps to be deleted...
Thanks.

Can you include Claro's Brazilian app? How can I get the names for you? Are they in some specific folder?

Thanks
Yup probably it's on specific folder or/and it could have different package name.
You can try looking for it on these directories by using an explorer which supports root.

/oem/app/
/oem/deletable-app/
/system/app/
/system/priv-app/
/system/etc/product/
/system/vendor/app/

Or the easiest way you can use app that has ability to remove system app
