Version Details:

Stripped Version:​

Stripped Version contains almost everything Sony has to provide along with a few other Modifications, Tweaks, Fixes etc. It contains only a basic level of Debloating i.e. Most of the stuff from the original FTF has been kept intact in it. Only the obvious and completely worthless bloatware and other stuff has been removed from it. As It preserves almost all the Sony's Features its upto the user to remove whatever he/she wants from it. Although it has been cleaned enough so there shouldn't be a imminent need for it.
​

Minimal Version:​

Minimal Version is a new version which has been specially optimized keeping the following things in consideration:

• Lowest Possible Size
• Battery Friendly
• More and More Free RAM
• All the Possible Bloatware Removed
• No Additional Apps (Except the Most Required ones)
• Optimized for best Performance, Speed and Smoothness
• Etc ++

The Minimal Version contains All the Modifications, Tweaks, Fixes but Only one Kernel and Bootanimation, No Glass Apps and No Google Apps (Expect Play Store) either. Minimal Version is basically a Peakly Debloated Version of the Stripped Version. If someone wants to install something from the Aroma Version He/She should download the Addons Pack which can be found on the other iHackers Thread and if someone wants any of the deleted apps that were deleted while the Bloatware Removal, He/She can get them from the Official FTF or from Aroma Version.

This Version is Ideal for those who simply hate the Bloatware and like a very very clean Install and to customize and add everything exactly What and How they want. The only things left out in the Minimal Version are the Core Apps without which you would loose the entire feel of Sony Xperia Z1 and without them there would be no pleasure in installing it.
​

Addons Pack:​

The Addons Pack has everything in the Aroma Version except the ROM itself. It is being provided for Minimal and Official Versions because they do not have anything from Aroma Version included in them. So, In case if someone wants to install something from Aroma Version, He/She should use the Addons Pack and as its based on Aroma to, so naturally He/She will have all the options with what to install and what not. This Pack will not only work with my ROM, or any other Stock Based ROM alone, it will work with all other ROMs too (Ofcourse, The ones that support the Included Kernels).

Hell yes! Glad you guys are back with some 4.3/iHackers goodness.
Question: Even though this is stock, does this contain any of your iHackers settings?
Is the stripped version like your full version of your ROM and minimal is just the ROM itself?

 

[dragonmasterx]

I am glad to see you too. Regarding the ROM, No, It wouldn't contain the stuff from my other ROM. I intend to keep this one as purely stock as possible. What would be the point of creating a new thread if I add all the stuff from the other ROM. Although You can use the features from my other ROM, Simply use the Addons Pack (This was the main reason behind making it, You can simply use it with any ROM on the Z1 Forum). Just remember not to select the options that would install system apps from the previous firmware and it would work perfectly fine. Regarding the details about the Stripped and the Minimal Versions, I have posted the details above. You will know the rest when you try them.

I would have released this version a long time ago. its just that I didn't get enough time for this, making it is the easier part but releasing and supporting is the harder one when you don't have enough time. I will be releasing the other version somewhere between the Christmas week when I will have some free time and I will use the old thread for that.

Nah, I didn't mean that. I just meant what's the difference between the stripped and the minimal versions of the rom? Good, I'm really happy to hear that you'll be releasing an update to the iHackers rom. Hopefully (I wouldn't see why not) you guys will release the 4.3 update with it. Ran your rom since the day you released it. They only reason I changed roms was because 4.3 came out and you guys were away but I'm gonna download this and flash it right away.

On the iHackers 1.2, I had no social live camera (the video stream to Facebook), does this rom have it by default?
