Hello guys!
I've rooted my Z without unlocking the bootloader, so I cannot install a custom recovery. This left me with just the choice to debloat the hell out of the stock rom LP 5.1.1.
So far I've managed to lower the number of system apps form 274 to 70!
I've been looking into the system and found two folders:
- odex.app folder
- odex.priv-app folder
Please note that both folders have the odex. extension, so I'm not talking about the folders without it.
Whenever I try to delete files or folders inside these I get the error that it's a read-only file. I've mounted the system partition to rw in terminal and adb, but I still get the same error.
Are those folders read-only all the time or I'm doing something wrong?
On another level, is there a way of completely disabling some hardware components that I never use like Bluetooth, radio, NFC, DLNA, GPS, camera?
The closest thing I got was a code to disable the GPS from booting in build.prop, but I was looking for something more permanent.
I was hoping there may be a command similar to "pm hide" or "pm disable" for hardware features.
