Just to confirm something. If I'm in a stock .28 (full rom) rooted, with xposed... Flashing this will de bloat my current rom?

Or should I perform a factory reset before flashing your rom?

Thanks!

 

[SANTUMIL]

Working like a charm on c6603 LB, fastest and smoothness than others rooms. Thanks!
Edit: Can we change that strange boot animation for stock one?

Yes it will debloat your current rom.

As per the instructions, do NOT do factory reset or wipe user data.

Willing to try this but I'm curious. "Heavily debloated". What did you remove? Perhaps you could make a list of all the things you removed? Hopefully it's not too much to ask.

Rom works really good, especially the audio mod and Dolby. The xposed didn't work for me at first, I have to flash it separately. The only thing I see missing from the debloat that I normal use is Email app for work. But Gmail can replace it.

The Xposed you should only need to install the apk again, the framework is the only thing integrated in the ROM..


As for the Stock email app, I have added a zip to first post for people who want to restore it.

@pricey2009 so this rom works as an update? Does it mean that we can't do a clean flash with it?

if possible, what can I wipe before flashing to make a clean flash?

Yes, essentially it is like an update, but it removes alot of stuff (see the debloat list)

Just wipe cache & dalvik cache and it will be fine
